QNAP QSW-M3212R-8S4T - Adding a VLAN; Adding a Link Aggregation Group (LAG)

Adding a VLAN
A virtual LAN (VLAN) groups multiple network devices together and limits their broadcast domain. Members
of a VLAN are isolated and network trac is only sent between group members.
Each VLAN is assigned a specic VLAN identication number. The VLAN screen displays information about
existing VLANs and provides access to VLAN conguration options.
1. Log in to QSS.
2. Go to Conguration > VLAN .
3. Click Add.
The Add VLAN window opens.
4. Specify a VLAN ID.
5. Select ports to include in the VLAN.
Only tagged ports can belong to multiple VLANs.
6. Click Save.
QSS adds the VLAN.
Adding a Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows you to combine multiple switching ports into a single logical
network interface. This ensures increased throughput and provides redundancy. In case of port failure,
trac continues on the remaining ports.
The Link Aggregation page displays information about existing link aggregation groups and provides
access to conguration options.
Warning
To prevent network loop errors during the LAG conguration process, do not connect the
switch to other devices using more than one network cable until after you have congured
LAGs on all the devices. You can enable loop protection to avoid network loops in the
connected network.
1. Log in to QSS.
2. Go to Conguration > Link Aggregation .
3. Identify a group.
4.
Click .
The Edit Group window opens.
5. Congure the group settings.
