Protocol
¾ Port No.: This field displays each port’s Port ID.
¾ Protocol: The Protocol scroll-down menu allows you to set each port’s protocol to either Layer 2
or Layer 3-IP.
•
Layer 2: Packets will be transmitted and received via layer 2 MAC addresses.
• Layer 3-IP: Packets will be transmitted and received via layer 3 IP addresses.
¾ Port MAC: These fields display the MAC addresses of all ports.
¾ Enable VLAN: VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of hosts with common requirements that
communicate within the same Broadcast domain regardless of the physical location. Setting the
Protocol to Layer 2 and enabling VLAN allows you to make settings for the following options:
•
VID: VID stands for Virtual ID, an ID number for identifying different virtual LANs on the
network. You can set the VID for each port.
•
CFI: CFI stands for Canonical Format Indicator, a 1-bit field in frames for compatibilities of
Ethernet and Token Ring networks.
• VLAN Priority: VLAN Priority (IEEE P802.1p) indicates the priority level of frames transmitted
from each port. The value can be set from 0 to 7.
¾ Port IP/Gateway IP/IP Mask: These three fields can only be set when you set the Protocol to
Layer 3-IP. You can input each port’s IP Address, Gateway IP Address, and Default Mask in
these fields.
