5.4.7 VLAN Configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows
you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN
members. 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
physically plugged into the same switch.
The switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tag-based) and protocol-based VLAN through web
management. In the default configuration, VLAN support is disabled.
