Create an Advanced Port-Based VLAN
An advanced port-based VLAN configuration lets you create VLANs and assign ports on the switch to a
VLAN. The number of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. In an advanced port-based
VLAN configuration, one port can be a member of multiple VLANs.
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1, but you can change the VLAN assignment.
To create an advanced port-based VLAN and assign ports as members:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, select SWITCHING.
The QOS page displays.
5. From the menu on the left, select VLAN.
The VLAN page displays.
If you did not yet activate the Advanced Port-Based VLAN mode, see Activate the Advanced Port-Based
VLAN Mode on page 42.
6. In the Advanced Port-Based VLAN section, click the ADD VLAN button.
7. Specify the settings for the new VLAN:
• VLAN Name. Enter a name from 1 to 14 characters.
• VLAN ID. Enter a number from 1 to 8.
• Ports. Select the ports that you want to include in the VLAN through a combination of the following
actions:
- Click the icon for an unselected port to add the port to the VLAN.
- Click the icon for a selected port to remove the port from the VLAN.
- Click the Select All link to add all ports to the VLAN.
