Configure a VLAN on Yeastar P-Series Software Edition

This topic describes how to configure a VLAN on Yeastar P-Series Software Edition.

Background information

A VLAN subinterface is a virtual interface created by dividing one physical Ethernet interface (LAN or WAN) into multiple logical interfaces, enabling access to the VLAN configured by the switch or router.

If the PBX has only one physical Ethernet interface, but needs to route traffic via multiple different subnets, you can add a VLAN subinterface with a different subnet and a different VLAN ID for the main interface (LAN or WAN). This allows the PBX to manage traffic for different VLANs or subnets using the same physical interface.

The following instructions assume that you need to add a VLAN subinterface for LAN interface.

  • Main interface (LAN): For network traffic in subnet 192.168.6.0/24.
  • Sub interface: For network traffic in subnet 192.168.5.0/24.

Procedure

  1. Log in the PBX web portal, go to System > Network > Basic Settings.
  2. In the LAN section, select the checkbox of Enable VLAN Subinterface 1 and configure the following settings.

    • IP Address: Assign an IP address that is in the subnet 192.168.5.0/24. For example, 192.168.5.20.
    • Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask. In this scenario, enter 255.255.255.0.
    • VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID that is configured on the switch or router. For example, enter 105.
      Note: To know the VLAN ID configured on the switch or router, contact IT administrator of switch or router.
  3. Click Save and reboot the PBX to take effect.

    The network traffic from subnet 192.168.5.0/24 and has VLAN ID 105 will be routed to the VLAN sub interface.
