Viewing and Configuring Layer 2 Virtual LANs

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is similar to a Local Area Network (LAN), however devices do not need to be
connected to the same segment physically. Devices operate as if connected to the same LAN, but
could be connected at different physical connections across the LAN segment. The VLAN can be
connected at various physical points but react as if it were connected directly. One of the biggest
advantages of a VLAN is, when a computer is physically moved to another location, it can stay on
the same VLAN without reconfiguration. The switch can support multiple VLANs. Use the Layer 2
Virtual LANs screen to view and configure VLANs by Port and Ports by VLAN information. Refer to
the following VLAN configuration activities:
