System Configuration 3-13
• VLAN Type – Beginning with Firmware Version 8.6.1, LAN or WAN Port(s) can be enabled on the VLAN. See
“Adding Port interfaces” on page 3-16 for more information. You can choose a type designation as follows:
port-based: The ports set up on VLANs for this switch will insert a default VLAN identifier (VID) into any
non-802.1q-tagged Ethernet packet received, and they will strip out any 802.1q header within a packet
transmitted through the port with a VID matching the VLAN's VID. The default VID for the VLAN is selected
by the Router.
global: Indicates that the ports joining this VLAN are part of a global 802.1q Ethernet VLAN. This VLAN
includes ports on this Router and may include ports within other devices throughout the network. The VID
in this case may define the behavior of traffic between all devices on the network having ports that are
members of this VLAN segment.
• VLAN Name – A descriptive name for the VLAN.
• VLAN Network – From the VLAN Network pop-up menu select None, Primary LAN or, if you have configured
an Additional LAN (ALAN), an Additional LAN. See “Additional LANs” on page 7-37.
Note: VLAN changes require a reboot to take effect. See “Restarting the System” on page 11-8.
• 802.1x – This option is only available for Router models with VGx technology. Otherwise, it does not
appear. If you are configuring a VLAN for a Netopia Router model with VGx technology (wired or wireless),
you can specify a RADIUS server for user authentication by toggling 802.1x to Yes . The default is No.
Adding a RADIUS Profile
• Authentication Profile – If you toggle 802.1x to Yes, this option displays. Select Authentication Profile and
press Return.
If you have RADIUS server profiles already defined, the pop-up menu allows you to select one for use with
this VLAN. If none are defined, the pop-up menu offers the option to configure a RADIUS Profile.
