3.2.3.1. VLAN Configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN
receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from
a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to
another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the
same switch physically. This switch supports port-based, 802.1Q
(tagged-based) or no VLAN in web management page. In default, 802.1Q
VLAN is enabled for common and advanced operations. In VLAN configuration,
there are three categories to configure:
 Static VLAN
 GVRP VLAN
 QinQ VLAN
Static VLAN

 Type a name for the new VLAN.
