7.4.3 VLAN Port Configuration Table
This web page provides an overview of the main VLAN settings for the ports. Clicking on
the relevant port number opens the "VLAN Port Configuration" web page, where the
settings can be modified.
This table can be used to assign incoming packets to the created VLANs if the packets
reached the port without VLAN tag.

7.5 Creating Static VLANs
In order to create a VLAN, the switches involved must be configured accordingly. In the
following example, data traffic is to be enabled in VLAN 5 between termination devices A
and B.
The type of termination device must be taken into consideration: VLAN-compatible
(processes tags) or not VLAN-compatible (does not process tags). In the example, two
types of termination device are take into consideration.
Security recommendation: Instead of using VLAN 1 for management, it is recommended
that a new separate VLAN is created for management. Make sure that the administrator
has access to this VLAN.
Warnings displayed when creating/configuring VLANs indicate configuration errors:
– An "untagged" port belongs to multiple VLANs.
– The port assignment (untagged) and PVID do not match.
