Vlan Configuration Summary; Q Vlan Configuration - Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Manual

This chapter describes the Enterasys Matrix system's capabilities to implement 802.1Q virtual
LANs (VLANs). It documents how to:
• Create, enable, disable and name a VLAN.
• Review status and other information related to VLANs.
• Assign ports to a VLAN and filter unwanted frames on one or more ports
• Assign a VLAN to a MIB‐II interface in order to view statistics for the VLAN
• Use GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) to control and propagate VLAN knowledge
through the network.
• Create a secure VLAN for device management security.

VLAN Configuration Summary
Virtual LANs allow the network administrator to partition network traffic into logical groups and
control the flow of that traffic through the network. Once the traffic and, in effect, the users
creating the traffic, are assigned to a VLAN, then broadcast and multicast traffic is contained
within the VLAN and users can be allowed or denied access to any of the network's resources.
Also, some or all of the ports on the device can be configured as GVRP ports, which enable frames
received with a particular VLAN ID and protocol to be transmitted on a limited number of ports.
This keeps the traffic associated with a particular VLAN and protocol isolated from the other parts
of the network.
Note: The device can support up to 4094 802.1Q VLANs. The allowable range for VLANs is 2 to
4094. As a default, all ports on the device are assigned to VLAN ID 1, untagged.
