VLAN Settings
You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces, including the
default VLAN identifier (PVID) and accepted frame types. This page
allows you to create and delete VLANs (Virtual LANs) and to change the
VLAN membership and behaviour of individual ports. VLANs are
powerful but can be difficult to set up properly. Each row of the table
corresponds to one port or trunk; trunked ports cannot be configured
individually.
Introduction to VLANs
VLANs (or Virtual LANs) are logical partitions of the physical LAN. You
can use VLANs to increase network performance or increase internal
network security.
If the network has adequate performance and security for your current
needs, it is recommended that you leave the VLAN settings in the default
configuration. The default configuration is as follows:
• All ports are members of VLAN 1
• The switch management interface is on VLAN 1 (this cannot be
changed)
• All ports have a Port VLAN ID (PVID) of 1
