Enable the Virtual LAN Ports feature:

Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices on one or

more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the

same LAN. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very

flexible for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization. If you

want to active Interface Grouping function, please check the box to enable the Virtual LAN

Ports feature.



Note:

It is not allowed to disable the VLAN with Ethernet Connection enabled.

To support this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN

interfaces using the

button. The

button will remove the grouping and add the

ungrouped interfaces to the Default group. Only the default group has IP interface.

Click the

Add

button. You can add a new interface group in the next screen. For example, you

want LAN1 and LAN3 to be a group called Group 1 over br_ptm_1_0 WAN interface, you can refer
