Each LAN network features its own configuration, such as name, IP range, and DHCP settings, and can be assigned to zero, one, or more LAN ports.

The maximum number of functional LAN networks depends on the available LAN ports on your edge gateway model. This cannot be extended by connecting a switch. The SecureEdge has 3-4 LAN ports and the SecureEdge Pro 4-5, depending on whether their OT/LAN port is configured as a 2nd WAN port or LAN port.

LAN networks that are not assigned to a LAN port are not limited by the number of available LAN ports and can be created for future use. This enables you to more easily switch between LAN network configurations later. Simply assign the network to a port. This will automatically remove the assigned port from its current LAN network.

No. The LAN Wi-Fi hotspot can only be enabled for the default LAN network. This is not possible for additional LAN networks.

Tip: It is possible to connect a 3rd party Wi-Fi access point to an additional LAN network to create Wi-Fi functionality per LAN network.

VLANs are one of many possible network segmentation methods, not the definition of network separation itself. Multiple LAN networks are NOT the same as VLAN support. VLAN tags are not supported. If you are unfamiliar with this term, multiple LAN networks are likely sufficient for your specific use case. If you're unsure, contact your IT administrator or the various online sources to see whether you really need VLAN tags or whether multiple LAN networks suffice.
