This capability provides a highly efficient architecture for establishing VLANs within a network and for controlling broadcast/ multicast traffic between workgroups.

  • Page 51: Port Overlapping

    belongs. Port Overlapping Port overlapping can be used to allow access to commonly shared network resources among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers. If you implement VLANs that do not overlap but still need to communicate, you must connect them using a router or Layer 3 switch. Forwarding Tagged/Untagged Frames Ports can be assigned to multiple tagged or untagged VLANs.

  • Page 52: Vlan Examples

    VLAN Examples The following four examples demonstrate typical web-interface VLAN configurations for the switch. Example 1 demonstrates a simple two-group VLAN setup. Example 2 demonstrates a more elaborate setup, illustrating all possible scenarios for a comprehensive understanding of tagged VLANs. Examples 3 and 4 show how GVRP can be used to automatically propagate VLANs across a network.
  • Page 53 Example 2 Example 2 illustrates a more complicated setup and demonstrates several scenarios for configuring VLANs. 1.  Set up four VLANs, as shown in following table. All switch ports remain as members of the default VLAN (VLAN ID 1). VLAN ID Name Port Members (Tagged/Untagged) Admin 1 (U), 2 (U), 10 (U)
