A dv anc e d Op tions

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of hosts which communicate as if they were attached to the same

broadcast domain even if they were located in different physical locations. The NAS can be joined to a

VLAN and configured as a backup storage of other devices on the same VLAN.

To join the NAS to a VLAN, select “Enable VLAN” and enter the VLAN ID (a value between 0 and 4094).

Please keep the VLAN ID safe and make sure the client devices are able to join the VLAN. If you forgot

the VLAN ID and were not able to connect to the NAS, you would need to press the reset button of the

NAS to reset the network settings. Once the NAS is reset, the VLAN feature will be disabled. If the NAS

supports two Gigabit LAN ports and only one network interface is configured to enable VLAN, you may

also connect to the NAS via the other network interface.

No te :

The VLAN feature is supported by Intel-based NAS models only. Please visit
