•  You will see the VLAN displays. 
• Use  Delete  button to delete unwanted VLAN. 
• Use  Edit  button to modify existing VLAN group. 
 
Note 
Remember to execute the “Save Configuration” action, otherwise the new 
configuration will lose when switch power off. 
 
 
 
 
802.1Q VLAN 
 
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN 
across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into 
the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.  
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256 VLAN groups to 
provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The 
default VLAN can’t be deleting. 
 
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the switch is connected to 
a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the 
switch; the switch will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.
