VLAN Setting

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast

domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of

the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically,

creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of

network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are

still plugged into the same switch physically.

VLAN Member Setting (Port Based)

The switch provides port based VLAN configuration. Users can enable the

function via VALN member setting. That is a set of ports allowed to be forwarded

from the source port. The overall number of VLAN groups that this switch can

support is 26.
