10. VLAN Config
A VLAN is a logical network which restricts general broadcasting. It is set up to separate
information and only the VLAN member can receive information from another VLAN
member. Logically, to create a VLAN using a switch, a group of networking devices are
connected to another switch. Actually, all networking devices are still physically
connected to one switch.
Note : Before configuring a VLAN, the VLAN mode must be enabled in the ‘Configuration’
‘Advanced’ menu see Page 39.
In the default configuration, a VLAN is enabled and all ports belong to the default VLAN,
whose VID is 1.
Port-based VLAN(IEEE802.1Q)
• Port-based VLAN is compliant with IEEE802.1Q .It is possible to create a VLAN for
the switches from different manufacturers by employing tag technology. The tag
contains a VID which specifies the VLAN number.
Protocol-based VLAN
• To make the end device send frames to different VLANs, the device either adds a
VLAN tag to the frames or is connected to the gate bridge of an identifiable VLAN,
the bridge can not only be based on the default PVID but also on other frames
information like protocol, so as to classify the VLAN ID.
a) Basic
To create GVRP aware or unaware 802.1Q and add a tagged member port:
• Click on the “Administrator” from the main menu and select “VLAN”.
• Click on the “Add”.
• Enter a name for the new VLAN.
• Enter a VID number between 2-4094, the default is 1.
• The “Protocol VLAN” can be set as “None”.
• Select the added port and click on the “Add”.
• Click on the “Next” and select “Tag” in the list.
• Click on the “Apply”.
