Port-based VLANs
Description
Port-based VLANs are the simplest type of VLAN. With a port-based
VLAN you can create multiple VLANs, each with its own broadcast
domain and member ports.
For example, if port 3 is in VLAN_1 and port 5 is in VLAN_2 the two
ports cannot communicate with each other even though they are part of the
same switch. A port can only be a member of a single port-based VLAN.
Any port that is not a member of a user-defined VLAN is a member of the
DEFAULT_VLAN.
VLAN operation mode: Changes the type of VLAN operating on the
switch, or disables VLANs entirely.
Add a port-based VLAN: Creates a port-based VLAN and adds ports to
the VLAN.
Edit/delete a port-based VLAN: Selects a VLAN to change port
membership in the VLAN, or removes a VLAN from the switch.
