You can create up to 8 VLANs, and you can also restrict any VLAN, and the computers on it,
from administering the Gateway.
• VLAN Name – A descriptive name for the VLAN.
• Type – Beginning with Firmware Version 7.6.1, LAN or WAN Port(s) can be enabled on
the VLAN. You can choose a type designation as follows:
By-Port: indicating that the VLAN is port-based. Traffic sent to this port will be treated
as belonging to the VLAN, and will not be forwarded to other ports that are not within a
common VLAN segment.
Global: indicating 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 seg-
ment.
• VLAN ID – If you select Global as the VLAN Type, the VLAN ID field appears for you to
enter a VID. This must be a unique identifying number between 1 and 4094.
• Admin Restricted – If you want to prevent administrative access to the Gateway from
this VLAN, check the checkbox.
