VLAN CONFIGURATION

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at
the datalink layer (OSI layer 2). VLANs are datalink layer (OSI layer 2) constructs, analogous to IP subnets,
which are network‐layer (OSI layer 3) constructs. VLANs can be used to partition a local network into several
distinctive segments.
VLAN technology provides the following advantages:
1. Broadcast traffic does not cross into different VLANs, which reduces bandwidth utilization and
improves network performance.
2. Security in your LAN can be improved, since packets in different VLANs cannot communicate with
each other directly.
3. With VLAN, clients can be allocated to different working groups, and users from the same group
do not have to be
easier and more flexible.
VLAN technology knows three types of ports — access, trunk and hybrid ports.
1. Access Ports (untagged)
1. Access ports are designed to tag any incoming packet with the VLAN ID the port has been
assigned to.
2. Tagged VLAN packets arriving at the access port are dropped by the switch.
3. As far as the Intellinet switch is concerned, any port that isn't defined as a trunk or hybrid port
is considered an access port.
2. Trunk Ports (tagged)
1. Trunk ports are designed to filter out packets that have either no VLAN tag or VLAN tags that
are not on the allowed VLAN ID list.
2. Trunk ports do not remove any existing VLAN tags from incoming packets.
3. Trunk ports do not add a VLAN tag to any incoming untagged packet.
4. Trunk ports are ideal for switch‐to‐switch connections or for devices that have the ability to
tag packets by themselves such as VoIP phones.
3. Hybrid Ports
1. These are a combination of access and trunk ports.
2. Hybrid ports will tag any incoming packet that has no VLAN ID with the VLAN ID the port has
been assigned to.
3. Hybrid ports will also act as trunk ports for packets that have a VLAN tag.
