L2 > Create VLAN
VLANs are logical subgroups of a Local Area Network
(LAN) created via software rather than defining a hardware
solution. VLANs combine user stations and network
devices into a single domain regardless of the physical
LAN segment to which they are attached. VLANs allow
network traffic to flow more efficiently within subgroups.
VLANs managed through software reduce the amount of
time in which network changes are implemented.
VLANs have no minimum number of ports, and can be
created per unit, per device, per stack, or any other logical
connection combination, as VLANs are software based
and not defined by physical attributes.
VLANs function at layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within
the VLAN, a Layer 3 router is needed to allow traffic flow
between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify segments and
coordinate with VLANs.
VLANs are broadcast and multicast domains. Broadcast
and multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in
which the traffic is generated.
The RVS4000 supports up to 4 VLANs, including the
default VLAN.
L2 Switch > Create VLAN
VLAN ID The VLAN ID number. This can be any number
from 2 to 3290, or from 3293 to 4094. (VLAN ID 1 is
reserved for the default VLAN, which is used for untagged
frames received on the interface. VLAN IDs 3291-3292 are
reserved and cannot be used.) To create a VLAN, enter the
ID number and click Add VLAN.
VLAN ID Range To create multiple VLANs with a range
of ID numbers, enter the starting and ending ID numbers
and click Add Range.
Delete Selected VLAN To delete a VLAN, select it form
the VLAN list and click Delete Selected VLAN.
