3.5.2 IEEE802.1Q TAG VLAN
The VLAN is a group of ports that may spread around the network but communicate as
though they belong to one subnet. By using IEEE802.1Q compliant VLAN, all ports can be
reorganized into separate broadcast domains for security reasons and reduce bandwidth
occupation instead of using routers to divide whole network into subnets. It produces
cleaner network environment by reducing broadcast traffic and simplify network
management by allowing you to move devices to another VLAN without changing physical
connections.
Default settings of all ports are VLAN 1 and assigned PVID 1. Moreover, all ports of an
Aggregation Group must be treated as an integer when added to/deleted from a VLAN.
The IEEE802.1Q TAG VLAN Menu displays VLAN ID range, maximum number of
supported VLANs, the number of created VLANs, and active VLANs. Moreover, this menu
provides four options including VLAN Port Configuration, VLAN Table Status, VLAN Static
Entry Created, VLAN Static Entry Modification, and VLAN Static Entry Delete.
