This page allows you to create up to 64 VLANs. You can also delete the VLANs or make changes
to the VLAN membership and behavior of individual ports. VLANs are powerful but can be
difficult to set up properly. If you are unfamiliar with VLANs please see the Introduction to
VLANs. To create a VLAN, enter a VLAN ID into the VLAN ID field. After clicking the ADD
button, you will be directed to the 802.1Q VLAN Group
page to add port members to the
VLAN. Each row of the table corresponds to one VLAN.
There are four main buttons associated with this page:
• HELP - Displays this text.
• ADD - Creates a VLAN with the inputted VLAN ID.
• MODIFY - Choose a VLAN to modify.
• DELETE - Delete a VLAN from the VLAN table.
