Port-based virtual LAN configuration assigns ports on the selected switch to a virtual LAN
group. The number of VLANs that can be created is limited to the number of ports on the
switch.
You can also create a basic port-based VLAN in which ports with the same ID are grouped
into the same VLAN group (see Create a Basic Port-Based VLAN on page 39).
Use the ProSAFE Utility to Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN
Groups
 To assign ports to multiple VLAN groups in a port-based VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection.
2. Double-click the ProSAFE Plus Utility icon.
The configuration home screen displays a list of Plus switches that it discovers on the
local network.
