5.1.8 VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which
allows you to isolate network traffic. Only the members of the same VLAN will receive the
traffic from the other members. Basically, to create a VLAN from a switch is logically
equivalent of separating a group of network devices. However, all the network devices are
still plugged into the same switch physically.
This managed switch supports port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default
configuration of VLAN operation mode is at “
802.1Q
”.
5.1.8.1
VLAN Setting
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard, and t is possible to create a
VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to
insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the
VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256
VLAN groups available. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN,
VID is 1. The default VLAN cannot be deleted.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the switch is
connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request by using the VID of
a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that device to the existing
VLAN.
