Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Virtual LANs (VLANs) are a logical broadcast domain or logical grouping of interfaces in a local area network (LAN) in which all data
received is kept locally and broadcast to all members of the group.
When in Layer 2 mode, VLANs move traffic at wire speed and can span multiple devices. The system supports up to 4093 port-
based VLANs and one default VLAN, as specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
VLANs benefits include:
•
Improved security because you can isolate groups of users into different VLANs
•
Ability to create one VLAN across multiple devices
For more information about VLANs, refer to the
IEEE Standard 802.1Q Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks
. In this guide, also refer

The following table lists the defaults for VLANs in Dell Networking OS.
Feature
Default
Spanning Tree group
ID
All VLANs are part of Spanning Tree group 0.
Mode
Layer 2 (no IP address is assigned).
Default VLAN ID
VLAN 1
Default VLAN
When you configure interfaces for Layer 2 mode, they are automatically placed in the Default VLAN as untagged interfaces. Only
untagged interfaces can belong to the Default VLAN.
The following example displays the outcome of placing an interface in Layer 2 mode. To configure an interface for Layer 2 mode, use
the
switchport
command. As shown in bold, the
switchport
command places the interface in Layer 2 mode and the
show
vlan
command in EXEC privilege mode indicates that the interface is now part of the Default VLAN (VLAN 1).
By default, VLAN 1 is the Default VLAN. To change that designation, use the
default vlan-id
command in CONFIGURATION
mode. You cannot delete the Default VLAN.
