3.1.3 Protocol
The user can configure the layer 2 protocol setting via this interface.
VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow
you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the others of
the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN on the switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group
of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the
same switch physically.
The switch supports
Port-based
and
802.1Q
(tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN
operation mode is “
Disable
”.
