7.9.2 Port-Based VLAN
7.9.2.1 Introduction to VLAN
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices that form a logical LAN
segment, that is, a broadcast domain. The members on the same VLAN can communicate
with each other. The traffic will not disturb among different VLANs, that is, any traffic
(unicast, broadcast or multicast) within a VLAN doesn¶t flow to another VLAN. The VLAN
feature offers the benefits of both security and performance. VLAN is used to isolate traffic
between different users which provides better security. Limiting the broadcast traffic within
the same VLAN broadcast domain also enhances performance.
The Device provides port-based VLAN, which is defined according to the switch ports on
the Device. You can set a VLAN ID to each switch port. The ports that have the same
VLAN ID will be grouped into a VLAN. The ports that belong to the same VLAN can
communicate with each other, but the ports that belong to the different VLANV FDQ¶t
communicate. For example, if a port belongs to VLAN 1 and another port belongs to VLAN
2, the two ports will not be able to communicate with each other.

 Port 1 VLAN ID ~ Port 5 VLAN ID: They specify the VLAN IDs of the five switch
ports. It allows you to set a VLAN ID to each switch port for each switch port
respectively. The ports that have the same VLAN ID will be grouped into a VLAN,
which is independent of the other ports.
