VLAN SettingsA VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network of devices that are joined into one broadcast domain,even if the devices are not physically connected to each other. VLANs are useful for creating smallernetworks within a larger LAN; for example, a legal department in a company might be on its own VLANbecause it has sensitive documents that only certain personnel should have access to. The smallernetworks that VLANs create do not require any additional physical resources, such as additional cabling.Your px2-300d Network Storage can be configured to support VLANs by connecting the correspondingphysical NIC to the trunk port of an L2/L3 switch.VLAN is configured for each NIC, but it is not supported on bonded NICs.
