VLANs
By default, all types of VLANs are disabled on the switch.
When you activate the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode, VLAN 1 through VLAN 8 are added to the switch
(because the switch provides a total of 8 ports) and all ports are made members of VLAN 1. This is the
default VLAN in the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode.
In the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode, you can assign each port (other than the uplink port) to a single VLAN
only.
To activate the Basic Port-Based VLAN mode and assign VLANs:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
