Configuring VLANs

The Menu interface enables you to configure and view port-based VLANs.

The Menu interface configures and displays only port-based VLANs. The CLI

configures and displays port-based and protocol-based VLANs (page 2-27).

In the factory default state, support is enabled for up to eight VLANs. (You can

reconfigure the switch to support up to 256 VLANs.) Also, in the default

configuration, all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN and are in

the same broadcast/multicast domain. (The default VLAN is also the default

Primary VLAN—refer to "The Primary VLAN" on page 2-43.) In addition to the

default VLAN, you can configure additional static VLANs by adding new VLAN

names and VIDs, and then assigning one or more ports to each VLAN. (The

maximum of 256 VLANs includes the default VLAN, all additional static VLANs

you configure, and any dynamic VLANs the switch creates if you enable

GVRP—page 3-1.) Note that each port can be assigned to multiple VLANs by

using VLAN tagging. (See "802.1Q VLAN Tagging" on page 2-38.)
