This function provide to monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming or outgoing packet from one port of a network Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
Port-based VLAN Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.
4.5.1.1 Add a VLAN Group The Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports up to 64 active VLAN groups and the range for the VLAN ID is 1-4094. To add a VLAN group, filed in the VLAN ID (from 1-4094) and please press “Add” button, the new VLAN Setup screen will pop out.
