How to configure a VLAN on a port?

The Plasma Cloud Console enables you to assign a default VLAN and/or multiple allowed VLANs to individual Switch ports. For a deeper understanding of default and allowed VLANs, refer to this article.

Plasma Cloud Switches are pre-configured with the management VLAN as default VLAN on all ports to provide a plug & play experience. Thus, untagged traffic can go in and out of every port. It ensures that your Switches and connected devices can successfully connect to the Internet and to the Plasma Cloud console out of the box.

VLANs can be managed in the VLAN tab of the Switch Details page. To access the VLAN tab, you need to:

1. Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
2. Select the Organisation and Network containing the device from top-right menu.
3. In the main menu on the left, navigate to Switch.
4. Click on your device of interest in the table. This will take you to the Switch Details page.
5. Locate the VLAN tab below the network chart.
