Menu: Configuring VLAN Parameters
In the factory default state, support is enabled for up to eight VLANs. (You can
change the switch VLAN configuration to support additional VLANs. Refer to
table 2-1 on page 2-4.) Also, all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN
(DEFAULT_VLAN) and are in the same broadcast/multicast domain. (The
default VLAN is also the default primary VLAN—see “The Primary VLAN” on
page 2-7.) In addition to the default VLAN, you can configure up to 29 other
static VLANs by changing the “Maximum VLANs” parameter, adding new
VLAN names and VIDs, and then assigning one or more ports to each VLAN.
Note that each port can be assigned to multiple VLANs by using VLAN tagging.
(See “802.1Q VLAN Tagging” on page 2-30.)
