3.2.3 Protocol 
 
The user can set the layer 2 protocol setting via this interface. 
 
VLAN configuration 
 
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow 
you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of 
the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group 
of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the 
same switch physically. 
 
The switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN 
operation mode is “Disable”.

VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN 
 
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as 
belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored. 
 
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it itself has to be either capable of 
tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of 
classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other 
information about the packet, such as the protocol.
