Port-Based Configuration
Port-Based Virtual LAN configuration assigns ports on the selected switch to a Virtual LAN
group. The number of VLANs that can be created is limited to the number of ports on the
switch.
Basic Port Based VLAN Configuration
The Basic Port Based VLAN Configuration screen lets you partition your network into
different segments. Ports with the same ID are grouped into the same VLAN group.
To assign members of a VLAN group:
1. Select the switch.
2. Select VLAN. This displays the Basic Port-Based VLAN configuration screen.
3. Select Enable. A message displays asking if you want to delete previous VLAN settings.
4. Click Yes. The Basic Port Based VLAN Configuration screen displays.
5. For each port to be added to the group, select the port and then the VLAN Group.
If all the VLAN groups share the same uplink to the Internet or servers, enter all in the
VLAN Group field for the port that you want to use for the uplink.
6. When you are finished adding ports to the VLAN group, click Apply.
Advanced Port Based VLAN Configuration
The advanced port-based configuration uses a slightly different user interface to allow you to
assign ports to multiple VLAN groups.
To assign members of a VLAN group:
1. Select the switch.
2. Click the VLAN tab. This displays the Port-Based VLAN configuration screen.
3. Select Advanced. This displays the Advanced Port-Based VLAN configuration screen.
4. Select Enable. A message displays asking if you want to delete previous VLAN settings.
5. Click Yes. The Advanced Port-Based VLAN configuration screen displays.
Note: VLAN IDs are limited to the number of ports on the switch, 1-5 for a five
port switch.
6. Select a VLAN ID from the VLAN identifier field and select the ports that you want to add to
the VLAN.
7. Click Apply. If you want to create more VLANs, repeat these steps with another VLAN ID.
