VLAN Support

“A virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same Broadcast domain, regardless of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch. Network reconfiguration can be done through software instead of physically relocating devices.” (Quoted from wikipedia)

What you can do with VLAN support in DD-WRT:

• Create different subnets for each Ethernet port or groups of ports
• Make LAN ports function as WAN ports
• 802.1q tagging so that a single port can carry frames for multiple VLAN's
