VLAN Configuration
Overview
A Vir tual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network of computers or other devices that behave as if they are 
connected to the same wire even though they may be physically located on different segments of a LAN. You 
set up VLANs by configuring the Gateway software rather than hardware. This makes VLANs ver y flexible. VLANs 
behave like separate and independent networks.
Beginning with Version 8.7.4, VLANs are now strictly layer 2 entities. They can be thought of as vir tual Ethernet 
switches, into which can be added: Ethernet por ts, router IP inter faces, ATM PVC/VCC inter faces, SSIDs, and 
any other physical por t such as USB, HPNA, or MOCA. This allows great flexibility in how the components of a 
system are connected to each other.
VLANs are par t of Motorola’s VGx Vir tual Gateway technology which allows individual por t-based VLANs to be 
treated as separate and distinct “channels.” When data is passed to a Motorola Netopia
®
 VGx-enabled 
broadband gateway, specific policies, routing, and prioritization parameters can be applied to each individual 
ser vice, delivering that ser vice to the appropriate networked device with the required level of quality of ser vice 
(QoS). In effect, a single Motorola gateway acts as separate vir tual gateways for each distinct ser vice being 
delivered.
Motorola’s VGx technology provides ser vice segmentation and QoS controls, and suppor ts deliver y of triple play 
applications: voice for IP Telephony, video for IPTV, and data.
Your Gateway suppor ts the following:
Global VLANs - these are used when trunking/tagging is required on any por t member of the VLAN. Trunks 
are used to interconnect switches to form networks. The VLANs can communicate with each other via a 
trunking connection between the two switches using the router. 
 - Suppor ts 802.1q and 802.1p; both are configurable
Por t-based VLANs - these can be used when no trunking is required 
Routed VLANs 
 - WAN-side VLAN with Multiple WAN IPoE/PPPoE inter face suppor t and IP inter face-to-VLAN binding 
 - LAN-side VLAN with IP inter face-to-VLAN binding 
 - Inter-VLAN routing groups to extend VLAN segmentation up through the IP routing layer.
Bridged VLANs - these VLANs are used to bridge traffic from LAN to WAN 
Prioritization per VLAN and per por t
