Example 2: Port-based VLAN
If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate with each other directly is
in the same VLAN.
The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment,
especially in physical location. Figures 3-4 and 3-5 show a port-based VLAN and Figure 3-6 shows an
attribute-based VLAN.

NOTES
The same VLAN members must be connected to the same switch.
VLAN members can’t access another VLAN’s members.
The switch manager must assign different names for each VLAN group at one switch.
