Case 1: All switch ports are in the same local area network.
Every port can access each other. (*The switch image is sample only.)
If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each
other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.
Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both
port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment,
especially in physical location. The following diagram shows how it works and what the
difference they are.
