the entire network, VLANs can help group devices that communicate frequently with other in the same VLAN so as
to divide the entire network into several broadcast domains.
VLANs make changes of devices or relocation more easily: In traditional networks, when moving a device
geographically to a new location (for example, move a device in floor 2 to floor 4), the network administrator may need
to change the IP or even subnet of the network or require re-cabling. However, by using VLANs, the original IP settings
can remain the same and re-cabling can be reduced to minimal.
The “VLAN” menu contains the following sub menus. Select the appropriate one to set up the detailed configurations.
4.15.1 Membership Configuration
This configuration page is used to set up and modify VLAN membership. By default, the configuration page shows 20
VLAN entries. However, you can change the starting VLAN and the total of VLAN membership information shown on this
page by using “Start from VLAN ___ with ____ entries per page” setting. Up to 4096 VLANs are supported on this Switch.
By default, all ports belong to “default” VLAN with VLAN ID=1.
VLAN ID: Specify the VLAN ID. Valid values are 1 to 4095.
VLAN Name: Provide a description or a name for this VLAN. This field can be left blank. Both alphabets and numbers are
allowed. However, if you want to input a description or name, make sure that the field is entered with at least one
alphabet. The maximum length of the VLAN Name string is 32.
Port Members:

To include a port in a forbidden port list, check the box as .
To remove or exclude the port from the VLAN, make sure the box is unchecked .

Click the “Delete” button to remove a newly-inserted entry or select the checkbox to remove a saved entry during the
next save.
Click the “Save” button to save settings or changes.
