VLans

VLans (Virtual Local Area Networks) are a subnetwork that allow for the grouping together of devices for improved network traffic as well as providing higher security by allowing greater control over which devices have access to each other. It is important to plan how you will setup your devices for each vLan.

Configuring vLan on the Altronix NetwaySP8 Series Switch:

  1. Ensure Laptop or PC being used to program the vLan settings is on a port that will be assigned to your first vLan configuration. By default the management portion of the software is assigned to vLan-1,
    CAUTION: Changing VID=1, the industry standard VLAN HOST address to any other VID address should be done with caution and performed only locally, since the change will drop the original HOST connection.
    Local access then facilitates a physical reconnection to respective port.
    Note: Only this vLan network allows access to IP management.

  2. In Network Section click on VLan Tab.

  3. Click Add vLan.

  4. Enter a name for the vLan.

  5. Enter a vLan ID, i.e. 10, 20, etc. Ensure this vLan ID is associated with a vLan setup on the main switch and that your Laptop or PC being used for programming is on this same ID
    Note: vLan ID could be any value 2-4094.

  6. Assign vLan QOS (Quality of Service) priority. 0 = Lowest and 7 = Highest

  7. Pick a Trunk port (Tagged Ports). Trunk ports are typically the main connection for network traffic for each group. They are usually connected to a network switch, WAPs, etc.

  8. Pick the Access port(s) (Untagged Ports) associated with the vLan. Access Ports are typically used for

  9. Cameras, etc. If programming locally, ensure your laptop or PC is connected to one of these ports.

  10. Save Configuration.

  11. Repeat steps 2 – 9 to add another vLan
    If unit is accidently programmed incorrectly and you cannot get into the NetwaySP8 series programming, physically moving ports of your PC connected to the main switch to a correct port (when being programmed remotely), or, as a last resort, completing a factory reset locally and reprogramming the unit.

  12.  Advanced Port Settings:
    Unknown VID Packet Forwarding Configuration:
    On ingress unknown VID, Foward to a fixed set of ports. By default no forwarding is set.
    Configuration on Ingress Untagged Traffic:
    Trunk Port action for ingress UNTAGGED packets. By default do not drop packets.
    Keep Tag on Egress:
    Select if you want ACCESS Port to keep the vLan tag when sending egress packets.
    By default tags are stripped.
    Preferred VLAN Forwarding:
    For ACCESS Ports that belong to more than one VLan. Select preferred vLan to forward UNTAGGED ingress packets. By default preferred vLan is the last vLan created.

Typical VLan Setup:
