VLAN Management
A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logical grouping that allows stations to
communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN,
independent of the actual physical configuration of a network.
The IntraCore 6524 supports port-based VLANs, in compliance with the IEEE
802.1Q standard. The following subsections describe the concepts and details
needed to configure and manage VLANs on IntraCore switches.
