VLAN configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) can be thought of as a broadcast domain that exists

within a switch or a defined set of switches. By grouping switch ports into

VLANs, traffic flooding is limited since devices can only communicate

directly with devices belonging to the VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a switch

is the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of devices to another Layer

2 switch. However, the network devices retain their same physical

connection. The switch supports port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based)

VLAN. In the default configuration, the VLAN option is disabled

The switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The

default configuration of VLAN operation mode is “Disable”.

VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN

With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a VLAN. Therefore, all

devices attached to a given port should be members of the same VLAN. As

with other VLAN configurations, the packets forwarded using this method do

not leak into other VLAN domains on the network. After the port has been

assigned to a VLAN, devices on the port cannot send to or receive from

devices in other VLANs without the intervention of another layer 3 device or

the ability to tag the data packet with a specific PVID
