Parameter description:
VLAN Mode:
Tag-based:
This is the default setting.
Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is quite different from port-
based VLAN. If there are any more rules in ingress filtering list or egress
filtering list, the packet will be screened with more filtering criteria to determine
if it can be forwarded. The switch supports supplement of 802.1q.
Each tag-based VLAN you built up must be assigned VLAN name and VLAN
ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-4094. User can create total up to 256 Tag VLAN groups.
Port-based:
Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any packet coming in or outgoing from
any one port of a port-based VLAN will be accepted. No filtering criterion
applies in port-based VLAN. The only criterion is the physical port you connect
to. For example, for a port-based VLAN named PVLAN-1 contains port
members Port 1&2&3&4. If you are on the port 1, you can communicate with
port 2&3&4. If you are on the port 5, then you cannot talk to them. Each port-
based VLAN you built up must be assigned a group name. This switch can
support up to maximal 26 port-based VLAN groups.
