Table 22 describes the VLAN Configuration Menu screen options.
VLAN Configuration screen
The VLAN Configuration screen ( Figure 68 ) allows you to create and assign
VLAN port memberships to standalone or stacked unit ports. You can create
port-based and policy-based VLANs for the following purposes:
• IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLANs allow you to explicitly configure switch
ports as VLAN port members.
When you create a port-based VLAN, you assign a Port VLAN Identifier
(PVID) and specify which ports belong to the VLAN.
• Policy-based VLANs allow you to configure your switch ports as members of
a broadcast domain, based on the information within a packet. Policy-based
VLANs can localize broadcast traffic and assure that only the policy-based
VLAN ports are flooded with the specified packets.
When you configure ports as VLAN port members, they become part of a set of
ports that form a broadcast domain for a specific VLAN. You can assign switch
ports, whether standalone or stacked unit ports, as VLAN port members of one or
more VLANs.
