Creating a Source IP Subnet-Based VLAN

To create a source IP subnet-based VLAN:

7. In the StaticMembers field, select the ports that will be static members of the VLAN.
8. In the NotAllowToJoin field, select the ports that cannot be part of the IP Subnet-based VLAN.
9. Enter the source IP subnet address and IP subnet mask.
10. Specify the Aging Time (the timeout period in seconds for aging out the dynamic member ports of the VLAN) or use the default of 600 seconds.
11. Select HighPriority (optional).
12. Click Insert.
13. In the edit VLANs Basic window, highlight the newly created VLAN and select IP > Insert to bring up the Insert IP Address window. Type an IP address and NetMask for routing, and click Insert.
