Ieee 802.1Q Vlan - Planet GS-5220-24T4XVR User Manual

The Managed Switch's default is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN named
DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLAN is created, the member ports assigned to the new VLAN will be
removed from the DEFAULT_ VLAN port member list. The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1.

4.3.3.2 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each subnet into separate domains. This Managed Switch
provides a similar service at Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains.
VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This also
provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong
to the same physical segment.
VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change any
physical connections. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups
(such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as videoconferencing).
VLANs provide greater network efficiency by reducing broadcast traffic, and allow you to make network changes without having
to update IP addresses or IP subnets. VLANs inherently provide a high level of network security since traffic must pass through
a configured Layer 3 link to reach a different VLAN.
This Managed Switch supports the following VLAN features:

Up to 255 VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard

Port overlapping, allowing a port to participate in multiple VLANs

End stations can belong to multiple VLANs

Passing traffic between VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware devices

Priority tagging
