Chapter 5: Setting Up SafeGuard Switches
■ Location independent – When an endpoint device is moved to another location, it
can remain on the same VLAN without needing to reconfigure any hardware.
■ Increased network efficiency – The network is more efficient by allowing a VLAN to
control and screen broadcast traffic.
■ Increased security – By confining broadcast traffic to users in a workgroup, there is
increased security because sensitive data is confined to only that group.
Configuring VLANs on the SafeGuard Switch
The SafeGuard Switch comes with a single pre-configured VLAN or default VLAN. The
default VLAN is assigned the ID of 1 (VID 1) and is reserved, which means it cannot be
deleted.
See the following sections for more details on configuring VLANs:
■ Configuring Port-Based VLANs
■ Configuring Protocol-Based VLANs
■ Configuring MAC-Based VLANs
■ Configuring IP Subnet-Based VLANs
■ Deleting a VLAN
■ Verifying the VLAN Configuration
