5.6.3 VLAN Operation
Understanding
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logically segmented LAN network that exists across multiple
physical LAN devices. The VLANs are virtual interface types in the Master Station and can be assigned
unique IP addresses. They are treated the same as any other interface type, but they offer a way to link
traffic between member interfaces. As such, a VLAN device can be thought of as a bridging device
Configure
To utilize VLANs, at least one or more VLAN interfaces must be created. Click on Add on the Configu-
ration screen. Below are them minimal steps to set up a VLAN virtual device:
Create the VLAN as an interface with a name.
• Name - The name of the interface. Up to 48 characters.
Configure the newly created VLAN
