3.2.3 VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of
the same VLAN will receive traffic from the members of the same VLAN.
Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to reconnecting a
group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
3.2.3.1 Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration
• VLAN ID: ID of the configured VLAN (1–4096, no leading zeroes).
VLAN Configuration List: Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this
system. Up to 16 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged
VLAN.

3.2.3.2 VLAN Setup
The switch supports up to 16 VLANs based on 802.1Q standard. From the VLAN
Membership page you can create and delete VLANs, and change the VLAN port
membership.
