6.18.1 Port-based VLAN
A port-based VLAN basically consists of its members—ports, which means the VLAN
is created by grouping the selected ports. This method provides convenience for
users to configure a simple VLAN easily without complicated steps. Packets can go
among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated
as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN is enabled, VLAN-
tagging is ignored. The port-based VLAN function allows the user to create separate
VLANs to limit unnecessary packet flooding; however, for the purpose of sharing
resource, a single port called a common port can belong to different VLANs; all the
member devices (ports) in different VLANs have permission to access the common
port while they still cannot communicate with each other in different VLANs.
