48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet
VLAN Management
A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere
in the network, but communicate as though they belong
to the same physical segment.
VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing
you to move devices to a new VLAN without having
to change any physical connections. VLANs can be
easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such
as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or
multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such
as videoconferencing). You can create up to 256 VLANs on
the Switch.

Create VLAN
Single VLAN
To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and VLAN
Name, up to 32 characters long, and click Add.
VLAN ID ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading
zeroes).
VLAN Name Name of the VLAN. (1 to 32 characters)
VLAN Range
To create a range of VLANs, enter the range of the VLAN
IDs to be created in to the VLAN Range fields and then click
Add Range.
To remove a VLAN or a range of VLANs, select the VLANs in
the VLAN list, then click Remove.

You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces,
including the mode, accepted frame type, VLAN identifier
(PVID), and ingress filtering.
Mode Indicates VLAN membership mode for an interface.
(Default: General)
Access Is the default setting for all ports. The port is a
member of a single, untagged VLAN.
Trunk Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN
trunk. A trunk is a direct link between two switches,
so the port transmits tagged frames that identify the
source VLAN. Note that frames belonging to the port’s
default VLAN (that is, associated with the PVID) are also
transmitted as tagged frames.
General Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface. The port
may transmit tagged or untagged frames.
Acceptable Frame Type Sets the interface to accept all
frame types, including tagged or untagged frames, or
only tagged frames. When set to receive all frame types,
any received frames that are untagged are assigned to the
default VLAN. (Options: All, Tagged, Active; Default: All)
PVID (Port VLAN identifier) VLAN ID assigned to
untagged frames received on the interface. (Default: 1)
If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign
its PVID to this VLAN, the interface will automatically
be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member. For all
other VLANs, an interface must first be configured as an
untagged member before you can assign its PVID to that
group.
