Parameter description:
VLAN Mode:
Tag-based:
Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. Tag-based VLANs are different from port-
based VLANs. If there are additional rules in ingress filtering list or egress filtering list, the
packet will be screened with filtering criteria to determine if it can be forwarded. The switch
supports 802.1q.
Each tag-based VLAN must be assigned a VLAN name and VLAN ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-
4094. You may create total up to 256 Tag VLAN groups.
Port-based:
Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any packet coming in or out 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 Ports 1, 2, 3 & 4, and if you are connected to Port
1, you can communicate with Port 2-4. If you are connected to Port 5, you cannot
communicate with those ports. Each port-based VLAN must be assigned a group name.
This switch can support up to a maximum of 24 port-based VLAN groups.
