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.
