9.11  Port-Based VLAN Setup  
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC 
address and its associated port. 
Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if you wish to 
allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you 
must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet 
leaves) for both ports.
Port-based VLANs are specific only to the Switch on which they were created. 
Note: When you activate port-based VLAN, the Switch uses a default VLAN ID of 1. You 
cannot change it.
Note: In screens (such as IP Setup and Filtering) that require a VID, you must enter 1 as the VID. 
The port-based VLAN setup screen is shown next. The CPU management port forms a VLAN with all 
Ethernet ports.
