3.4.3.3 VLAN Zones
Use the "VLAN Zones" settings to add custom Virtual Local Area Network tags to all
traffic on a given interface.
This method can be used to create »virtual interfaces« that allow you to put several
logical network zones on one physical interface. When a VLAN tag is associated with a
network interface, the tag is added to all outgoing packets that are sent via this virtual
interface and stripped from the incoming packets that are received on this VLAN. Sev-
eral VLANs may be associated with each network interface. Packets with different tags
can be processed and associated to the corresponding zones.
For more detailed information on VLAN zones, see the following sections.
VLAN Zones Overview
Navigate to "LAN > VLAN Zones" to display the list of VLAN zones that are currently
defined on the system in the item list bar.
In the expanded view, the columns of the table display the "Name" and the status
( "Enabled" or not) of the VLAN zone, the "VLAN Tag" , the network "Interface" with
which the virtual local area network is associated and the "IP Address" of the VLAN
zone. The buttons in the last column allow you to view and adjust the settings for an
existing virtual local area network, create a new VLAN zone based on a copy of an
existing virtual local area network or delete a VLAN zone from the system.
For further information, see Chapter 3.2, "Icons and Buttons", on page 21.
VLAN Zones Settings
Use the "VLAN Zones" settings to configure custom Virtual Local Area Network tags to
be added to all traffic on a given interface.
Under "LAN > VLAN Zones" , you can add a new or edit an existing virtual local area
network.
The "VLAN Zone" settings allow you to configure the following elements:
Field Description
"On" / "Off" A slider switch indicates whether the VLAN is active ( "On" ) or inactive ( "Off" ).
By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of the VLAN zone. A new
VLAN zone is enabled by default.
On the "General" tab:
Field Description
"Name" Enter a name for the VLAN zone. The name has to be unique and may consist
of 3 to 14 characters (allowed are letters of the English alphabet, integers,
dashes, underscores and dots).
"IP Address/Netmask" Enter the IP address and netmask in CIDR notation (IP address followed by a
slash »/« and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, for example
192.168.50.1/24). You can only enter an IP address which has not already
been configured on a different Ethernet, WLAN or VLAN zone.
