Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN In an untagged VLAN application, you can assign a group of ports within a switch as members of a specific VLAN. Data traffic would be confined within the member ports. In this way, devices connected with the switch can be partitioned into distinct groups each corresponds to a different VLAN. The partition (VLAN) can be expanded when two untagged VLANs are connected together through their member ports.
Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN VLAN C, VLAN D and VLAN E are assigned with VID of 02, 03 and 04 respectively. Switch 1 and Switch 2 are interconnected via Port 26, whereby the port are tagged with an ID. Control Station, PC 1, PC 2 and PC 3 are connected to Port 2, 9, 16 and 22 respectively. All Ethernet Ports are configured as untagged. All users are able to communicate with one another within the same VLAN.
Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN Figure 10.1 Untagged and Tag VLAN setting for Switch 1 Configuration for Switch 2 Follow the procedures as shown in configuring Switch 1. Now, users within the same VLAN is able to communicate with one another. NOTE Please note that for Tagged VLAN, VID number MUST BE the same from Switch 1 and 2.
