DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual 
Default VLANs 
The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all ports on the 
Switch to the "default."   
Packets cannot cross VLANs. If a member of one VLAN wants to connect to another VLAN, the link must be through an 
external router. 
 
NOTE: If no VLANs are configured on the Switch, then all packets will be 
forwarded to any destination port. Packets with unknown source 
addresses will be flooded to all ports. Broadcast and multicast packets will 
also be flooded to all ports. 
An example is presented below: 
VLAN Name  VID  Switch Ports 
System (default)  1  5, 6, 7, 8, 21, 22, 23, 24 
Engineering  2  9, 10, 11, 12 
Marketing  3  13, 14, 15, 16 
Finance  4  17, 18, 19, 20 
Sales  5  1, 2, 3, 4

VLAN and Trunk Groups 
The members of a trunk group have the same VLAN setting. Any VLAN setting on the members of a trunk group will 
apply to the other member ports. 
 
NOTE: In order to use VLAN segmentation in conjunction with port trunk 
groups, you can first set the port trunk group(s), and then you may 
configure VLAN settings. If you wish to change the port trunk grouping 
with VLANs already in place, you will not need to reconfigure the VLAN 
settings after changing the port trunk group settings. VLAN settings will 
automatically change in conjunction with the change of the port trunk 
group settings.
