Configuring Virtual LANs
You can use the VLAN configuration menu to assign any port on
the switch to any of up to 256 LAN groups. In conventional
networks with routers, broadcast traffic is split up into separate
domains. Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains.
This can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle
traffic such as IPX or NetBeui. By using IEEE 802.1Q compliant
VLANs, you can organize any group of network nodes into
separate broadcast domains, confining broadcast traffic to the
originating group. This also provides a more secure and cleaner
network environment. For more information on how to use
VLANs, see “Virtual LANs” on page 4-3. The VLAN configuration
screens are described in the following sections.
