Customize Smartport Role Attributes
Each switch port is a member of a virtual local-area network (VLAN). Devices
attached to switch ports that belong to the same VLAN share the same data
broadcasts and system resources. Communication between VLANs requires a
Layer 3 device, such as a router or a Layer 3 switch.
Depending on your network requirements, You can assign all ports to the default
VLAN. In a small network, one VLAN can be sufficient.
Before changing the VLAN memberships, understand what a VLAN is, its
purpose, and how to create a VLAN.
Refer to VLANs on page 66 for more
information about VLANs.
