By default, all types of VLANs are disabled on the switch.
When you activate the Basic 802.1Q VLAN mode, VLAN 1 is added to the switch and all ports (1 through
8) function in access mode (rather than trunk mode) as untagged members of VLAN 1. This is the default
VLAN in the Basic 802.1Q VLAN mode.
To activate the Basic 802.1Q VLAN mode:
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.
