System Configuration 3-15
The Add VLAN screen appears.
You can create up to 16 VLANs, and you can also restrict any VLAN, and the computers on it, from
administering the Router.
• VLAN ID – The VLAN ID field allows you to enter a VID. This must be a unique identifying number between 1
and 4094. (A VID of zero (0) is permitted on the Ethernet WAN port only.)
• VLAN Type – LAN or WAN Port(s) can be enabled on the VLAN. See “Adding Port interfaces” on page 3-20
for more information. You can choose a type designation as follows:
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: 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.
