Section III: VLANs 429
But with VLANS, you can change the LAN segment assignment of
an end node connected to the switch through the switch’s AT-S63
management software. You can change the VLAN memberships
through the management software without moving the
workstations physically, or changing group memberships by
moving cables from one switch port to another.
In addition, a virtual LAN can span more than one switch. This
means that the end nodes of a VLAN do not need to be connected
to the same switch and so are not restricted to being in the same
physical location.
Note
When a transceiver is inserted into an uplink slot and a link is
established, that slot becomes a primary uplink port and the
corresponding backup port, 23R or 24R, automatically transitions to
redundant uplink status. Any VLAN settings remain intact when the
backup port makes the transition to a redundant uplink state.
The AT-9400 Series switch supports the following types of VLANs you
can create yourself:
❑ Port-based VLANs
❑ Tagged VLANs
These VLANs are described in the following sections.
