Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports. Port-based VLANs are specific only to the switch on which they were created. Note: When you activate port-based VLAN, the switch uses a default VLAN ID of 1. In screens (such as IP Setup and Filtering) that require a VID, you must enter 1 as the VID. The port-based VLAN setup screen is shown next. The CPU management port forms a VLAN with all Ethernet ports. 8. 6. 1 Configure a Port-based VLAN Select Port Based as the VLAN Type in the Switch Setup screen (see Figure 31 on page 68) and then click VLAN from the navigation panel to display the next screen. 72 Chapter 8 VLAN ES-2024A User's Guide Figure 35 Port Based VLAN Setup (All Connected) Chapter 8 VLAN 73 ES-2024A User's Guide Figure 36 Port Based VLAN Setup (Port Isolation) The following table describes the labels in this screen. 74 Chapter 8 VLAN ES-2024A User's Guide Table 17 Port Based VLAN Setup LABEL Setting Wizard DESCRIPTION Choose All connected or Port isolation. All connected means all ports can communicate with each other, that is, there are no virtual LANs. All incoming and outgoing ports are selected. This option is the most flexible but also the least secure. Port isolation means that each port can only communicate with the CPU management port and cannot communicate with each other. All incoming ports are selected while only the CPU outgoing port is selected. This option is the most limiting but also the most secure. After you make your selection, click Apply (top right of screen) to display the screens as mentioned above. You can still customize these settings by adding/deleting incoming or outgoing ports, but you must also click Apply at the bottom of the screen. These are the ingress ports; an ingress port is an incoming port, that is, a port through which a data packet enters. If you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, you must define the ingress port for both ports. The numbers in the top row denote the incoming port for the corresponding port listed on the left (its outgoing port). CPU refers to the switch management port. By default it forms a VLAN with all Ethernet ports. If it does not form a VLAN with a particular port then the switch cannot be managed from that port. [. . . ] The number of "borrowed" host ID bits determines the number of subnets you can have. The remaining number of host ID bits (after "borrowing") determines the number of hosts you can have on each subnet.
