Chapter 8. Network Configuration
VLAN
VLANs are used for clustering IP ranges into logical networks. A VLAN id is simply a
number, which identifies the VLAN uniquely within your network.
Named VLANs
Here, you can list the VLANs you wish to use and give them names, to make administration
easier.
Named VLANs can also be selected instead of interfaces on the Networks and Computers
page.
Name
The name of this VLAN. The name is only used in the Telecommuting Module web interface
to help you keep track of the different VLANs.
VLAN Id
Enter a VLAN id. A VLAN id is just a number. All packets for this VLAN are then marked
with this number, enabling all network devices to recognize and route packets for the VLAN.
Interface
Select an interface for this VLAN.
Status
The status for this VLAN. Status can be On (the VLAN is used on an active interface), Off
(the VLAN is used on an inactive interface) and Unused (no Directly Connected Networks
has been selected for this VLAN).
