VLAN Workgroups
You can create and configure VLANs by segmenting BayStack 350 switches into
logical workgroups that are independent of each other. The workgroups can be
defined according to project or department.
Workgroup members on VLANs share computer resources but cannot
communicate with other workgroups; therefore access to specific servers is
restricted to all but the assigned workgroup. Broadcast packets are also confined
to a specific VLAN, which relieves traffic congestion (Figure 1-6
).
Figure 1-6. Port-based VLAN example
This same type of segmentation can be extended to multiple switches across the
network. Because BayStack 350 Series switches implement port-based VLANs,
extending VLANs to another switch requires utilizing a single switch port for
each VLAN (Figure 1-7
).
