VLAN config

When using with a FireBrick for bonding multiple lines we can use VLANS for each of the PPP sessions.

We'll configure the switch as:

• Port 1 - VLAN 101, for ADSL line 1
• Port 2 - VLAN 102, for ADSL line 2
• Port 3 - VLAN 103, for ADSL line 3
• Port 4 - VLAN 104, for ADSL line 4
• Port 8 is for the FireBrick

  • Create a new VLAN, enter in 101, then Click Next
    • Drag Port01 to the Untagged area
    • Drag Port08 to the tagged area
    • Click Next, then click Finish

This process repeats for VLAN 102, 103, 104 but you use Port02 for VLAN 102, Port03 for VLAN 103, Port04 for VLAN 104... so:
