VLAN Configuration Menu
Figure 5.21 VLAN Configuration Menu
This menu allows you to configure up to 31 VLANs.
A VLAN shares packets only with the ports assigned to the given
VLAN. This allows the user to create virtual workgroups within one
WSW-2620 switch. For example, if you want to keep the
information in the Accounting and Sales departments separate, you
can assign only Accounting staff ports to the Accounting VLAN,
and only the Sales staff ports to the Sales VLAN.
The VLANs created in this manner are called 'static' VLANs
because membership must be reconfigured each time a change is
desired. If a VLAN is created by GVRP, it is called 'dynamic'
because the switch can allow a temporary membership to a VLAN
automatically.
Note: All management connections requiring a switch port
connection must be in VLAN 1.
Follow these steps to configure VLAN settings:
