VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which allows
isolation of network traffic. Only the members of the VLAN will receive traffic from the same members
of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of
network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the
same switch physically. The switch supports port-based VLAN only.
5.1.8.1
VLAN Configuration – Port Based
Traffic is forwarded to the member ports of the same vlan group. vlan port based startup,
set in the same group of the port, can be a normal transmission packet, without
restricting the types of packets.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers,
workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators
to manage network performance, resolve network problems, and plan for future network growth.
Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network
devices implementing SNMP.
