Chapter 3: VLAN Configuration
No matter how many switches are connected, a management station
connected to any port on the same Management VLAN can be used to
remotely manage any DIGITAL's 802.1Q switch in the network as long as
the Host Data Port of all the switches are members of the same
Management VLAN.

SUMMARY OF VLAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT
The VLAN configuration process is an extension of normal Local
Management operations. A series of Local Management screens provide
access to the functions and commands necessary to add, change, or delete
VLANs and to assign ports to those VLANs.
A switch supporting 802.1Q VLANs provides the VLAN Configuration
screens as a standard part of its Local Management hierarchy when the
switch is configured to operate in 802.1Q Mode. The hierarchy of the
Local Management screens pertaining to 802.1Q VLAN configuration is
shown in Figure 3-3.

Preparing for VLAN Configuration
A little forethought and planning is essential to a good VLAN
implementation. Before attempting to configure a single switch for VLAN
operation, consider the following:
•
How many VLANs will be required
•
What stations will belong to them
•
What ports are connected to those stations
