VLAN Configuration Examples

This section contains the following examples:
• Configuring VLANs Using Dell OpenManage Administrator
• Configuring VLANs Using the CLI
• Configuring a Voice VLAN
A network administrator wants to create the VLANs in Table 21-6:
Table 21-6. Example VLANs
VLAN VLAN Name VLAN Type
ID
100 Engineering Port-based
200 Marketing
300 Sales
400 Payroll
Figure 21-25 shows the network topology for this example. As the figure
shows, there are two switches, two file servers, and many hosts. One switch
has an uplink port that connects it to a layer 3 device and the rest of the
corporate network.
Purpose
All employees in the Engineering department
use this VLAN. Confining this department's
traffic to a single VLAN helps reduce the amount
of traffic in the broadcast domain, which
increases bandwidth.
Port-based All employees in the Marketing department use
this VLAN.
MAC-based The sales staff works remotely but occasionally
comes to the office. Since these employees do
not have assigned work areas, they typically plug
their laptops into a network port in an available
cubicle, office, or conference room.
Port-based The payroll department has sensitive traffic and
needs its own VLAN to help keep that traffic
private.
