Configuring VLAN Overview Overview VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network technique that solves broadcasting issues in local area networks. It is usually applied in the following occasions: To restrict broadcast domain: VLAN technique divides a big local area network into several VLANs, and all VLAN traffic remains within its VLAN.
Page 51
Configuring VLAN Overview switch will first insert a VLAN tag to the frame, using the PVID (Port VLAN ID) of the port as its VID, and then forward it as a tagged frame. Note: The switch works in one and only one VLAN mode at any time. When a specific VLAN mode is enabled, the other two VLAN modes will be disabled automatically and the corresponding VLAN configuration will be lost.

Configuring QoS 1.1 Overview With network scale expanding and applications developing, internet traffic is dramatically increased, thus resulting in network congestion, packet drops and long transmission delay. Typically, networks treat all traffic equally on FIFO (First In First Out) delivery basis, but nowadays many special applications like VoD, video conferences, VoIP, etc.
