VLAN Application Example

A network administrator can use VLANs to define user groups regardless

of the physical LAN segment to which they are connected. The use of

Hybrid and Access links can further refine traffic flow in a multi-switch

environment. Figure D-4 shows the combination of both Hybrid and

Access links used in a network with three different VLANs. Workstations

are typically connected to the ELS100-24TX via Access links. On the

internal corporate network (backbone), VLAN tags are used to identify the

VLAN association of frames.

It is possible to mix VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware de-

vices on the same Hybrid switch port. However, this is not

recommended design practice.
