Configure VLANs
Adding virtual LAN (VLAN) support to a Layer 2 switch offers some of the benefits of both
bridging and routing. Like a bridge, a VLAN switch forwards traffic based on the Layer 2
header, which is fast, and like a router, it partitions the network into logical segments, which
provides better administration, security, and management of multicast traffic.
By default, all ports on the switch are in the same broadcast domain. VLANs electronically
separate ports on the same switch into separate broadcast domains so that broadcast
packets are not
sent to all the ports on a single switch. When you use a VLAN, users can be
grouped by logical function instead of physical location.
Each VLAN in a network is assigned an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE
802.1Q tag
in the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. An end station can omit
the tag, or the VLAN portion of the tag, in which case the first switch port to receive the
packet can either reject it or insert a tag using its default VLAN ID. A given port can handle
traffic for more than one VLAN, but it can support only one default VLAN ID.
You can define VLAN groups stored in the VLAN membership table.
The switch supports up
to 64 VLANs.
The following VLANs are preconfigured on the switch and you can
not delete them:
• VLAN 1. The default VLAN of which all ports are members.
•
VLAN 4088. The default
Auto-VoIP VLAN. By default, this VLAN does not include any
members but you can manually add members.
Configure VLAN settings
You can configure the various VLAN settings.
Add a VLAN
To add a VLAN:
1. Connect your
computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ether
net cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
