56.1 VLAN Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure 802.1Q tagged and port-based VLANs.
The type of screen you see here depends on the VLAN Type you selected in the SYSTEM > Switch Setup
screen which is only available in standalone mode. The Switch does not support port-based VLANs in
Stacking mode.
56.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the VLAN Status screen (Section 56.3 on page 369) to view and search all static VLAN groups.
• Use the VLAN Status Details screen (Section 56.3.1 on page 370) to view detailed port settings and
status of the static VLAN group.
• Use the Static VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.4 on page 371) to configure a static VLAN for the Switch.
• Use the VLAN Port Setup screen (Section 56.5 on page 373) to configure the static VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q)
settings on a port.
• Use the GVRP screen (Section 56.6 on page 375) to enable/disable GVRP on each port.
• Use the Subnet Based VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.8 on page 377) to set up VLANs that allow you to
group traffic into logical VLANs based on the source IP subnet you specify.
• Use the Protocol Based VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.9 on page 378) to set up VLANs that allow you
to group traffic into logical VLANs based on the protocol you specify.
• Use the Voice VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.11 on page 381) to set up VLANs that allow you to group
voice traffic with defined priority and enable the Switch port to carry the voice traffic separately from
data traffic to ensure the sound quality does NOT deteriorate.
• Use the MAC Based VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.12 on page 383) to set up VLANs that allow you to
group untagged packets into logical VLANs based on the source MAC address of the packet. This
eliminates the need to reconfigure the Switch when you change ports. The Switch will forward the
packets based on the source MAC address you set up previously.
• Use the Vendor ID Based VLAN Setup screen (Section 56.13.1 on page 385) to set up VLANs that allow
you to group untagged packets into logical VLANs based on the source MAC address of the packet.
You can specify a mask for the MAC address to create a MAC address filter and enter a weight to set
the VLAN rule’s priority.
