3-2-3. VLAN Mode Configuration

Web Smart Switch supports Port-based VLAN and Tag-based VLAN (802.1q). Its

VLAN mode supports 16 active VLANs and the available VLAN ID range is from 1~4094.

VLAN configuration is used to divide a LAN into smaller ones. With proper configuration,

you can gain not only improved security and increased performance, but also save a lot

of VLAN management effort.

Parameter description

VLAN Mode:

Port-based:

Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any packet coming in or outgoing from

any one port of a port-based VLAN will be accepted. No filtering criterion

applies in port-based VLAN. The only criterion is the physical port you con-

nect to. For example, for a port-based VLAN named PVLAN-1 contains port

members Port 1&2&3&4. If you are on the port 1, you can communicate

with port 2&3&4. If you are on the port 5, then you cannot talk to them.

Each port-based VLAN you built up must be assigned a group name. This

switch can support up to maximal 16 port-based VLAN groups.

Tag-based:

Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is quite different from

port-based VLAN. If there are any more rules in ingress filtering list or

egress filtering list, the packet will be screened with more filtering criteria

to determine if it can be forwarded. The switch supports supplement of

802.1q.

Each tag-based VLAN you built up must be assigned VLAN name and VLAN

ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-4094. User can create total up to 4094 Tag VLAN

groups.
