Configuring VLANs
Virtual LANs, or VLANs, provide a way to create a logical network grouping
without regard to physical location of the network nodes.
For more information about VLANs, see “Virtual LANs” in Chapter 2.
The two main steps to set up a VLAN with the Web Device Manager are:
• Set the switch’s VLAN operation mode.
• Configure the type of VLAN you selected.
To set the switch’s VLAN operation mode
1
Click the Configure VLAN menu and then click VLAN Operation Mode.
2
In the Current VLAN Mode Is box, click the type of VLAN to set up.
You can set the 460T switch to use port-based, MAC-based, or tag-
based VLANs. See “Virtual LANs” in Chapter 2 for more information
about VLAN types.
3
Click Submit.
4
The switch automatically reboots. The switch must be rebooted
whenever you change its VLAN operation mode.
After the switch reboots, you can configure the type of VLAN that you
selected.
NOTE
You can have only one operation
mode active on the switch at a
time. Choose port-based, tag-
based or MAC-based.
