This chapter contains the following sections: “VLAN Features” on page 72 “Port-based VLAN Overview” on page 74 “Tagged VLAN Overview” on page 80 “Creating a VLAN”...
Page 72: Vlan Features
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs VLAN Features A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical grouping of devices on different physical LAN segments that allows users to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the physical configuration of the network.
Page 73: Types Of Vlans
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide VLANs can be used to control the flow of data in your network, since the traffic generated by an end-node in a VLAN is restricted to the other end- nodes in the same VLAN. In addition, VLANs can prevent data from flowing to unauthorized end-nodes.
Page 74: Port-Based Vlan Overview
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Port-based VLAN Overview As explained in “VLAN Features” on page 72, a VLAN consists of a group of ports on one or more Ethernet switches that form an independent traffic domain. Traffic generated by the end nodes of a VLAN remains within the VLAN and does not cross over to the end nodes of other VLANs unless there is an interconnection device, such as a router or Layer 3 switch.
Page 75: Untagged Ports
AT-GS950 Series switches, you would assign the Marketing VLAN on each switch the same VID. You can assign this number manually or allow the AT-S79 management software to do it automatically. If you allow the management software to do it automatically, it selects the next available VID.
Page 76: Drawbacks Of Port-Based Vlans
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Each port must be assigned a PVID. This value must match the VLAN’s VID and it must be the same for all the ports in a port-based VLAN. You must manually configure this value on a port after you assign the port to a VLAN.
Page 77: Port-Based Example 1
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide Port-based Figure 17 illustrates an example of one AT-GS950/24 Gigabit Ethernet Switch with three port-based VLANs. (For purposes of the following Example 1 examples, the Default VLAN is not shown.) Engineering VLAN (VID 3) Production VLAN...
Page 78: Port-Based Example 2
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Each VLAN has one port connected to the router. The router interconnects the various VLANs and functions as a gateway to the WAN. Port-based Figure 18 illustrates more port-based VLANs. In this example, Sales and Engineering VLANs span two AT-GS950/24 Gigabit Ethernet switches, Example 2 while Production VLAN is limited to just one switch.
Page 79 AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide The table below lists the port assignments for the Sales, Engineering, and Production VLANs on the switches: Sales VLAN Engineering VLAN Production VLAN (VID 2) (VID 3) (VID 4) AT-GS950/24 Ports 1 - 6 Ports 9 - 13...
Page 80: Tagged Vlan Overview
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Tagged VLAN Overview The second type of VLAN supported by the AT-S79 management software is the tagged VLAN. VLAN membership in a tagged VLAN is determined by information within the frames that are received on a port. This differs from a port-based VLAN, where the PVIDs assigned to the ports determine VLAN membership.
Page 81: Tagged And Untagged Ports
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide Note For explanations of VLAN name and VLAN identifier, refer back to “VLAN Name” on page 74 and “VLAN Identifier” on page 74. Tagged and You need to specify which ports will be members of the VLAN. In the case...

Page 84: Creating A Vlan
Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Creating a VLAN This section contains the procedure for creating a new port-based or tagged VLAN. This procedure assigns the VLAN a name, a VID number, and the untagged and tagged member ports. After you have performed this procedure, you must configure the untagged ports of the VLAN by adjusting their PVID values to match the virtual LAN’s VID number.
Page 85: Figure 21. Vlan Creation Menu
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide 3. From the VLAN Management Menu, type C to select Create VLAN. The VLAN Creation Menu is shown in Figure 21. AT-GS950/16 Local Management System VLAN Management -> VLAN Creation Menu VLAN ID : VLAN Name:...
Page 86 Chapter 7: Virtual LANs The following prompt is displayed: Enter port number > 9. Enter the untagged and tagged ports of the VLAN. You can specify the ports individually separated by commas, for example, 2,7,15, as a range of ports separated by a hyphen, for example, 2-4, or both, for example, 2-7,15,17.
Page 87: Configuring The Pvid Of Untagged Ports
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide Configuring the PVID of Untagged Ports This procedure adjusts a port’s VID value. The PVID value determines the VLAN in which the port is an untagged member. A port can be an untagged member of only one VLAN at a time. A port is an untagged member of the VLAN whose VID value matches its PVID.
Page 88 Chapter 7: Virtual LANs Note If you specify a PVID that does not correspond to any VIDs on the switch, the management software creates a new VLAN with a VID that equals the PVID. The VLAN is not assigned any name. 7.

Page 95: Chapter 8: Quality Of Service (Qos)
Chapter 8 Quality of Service (QoS) This chapter contains the procedures for configuring the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters of the switch. This chapter contains the following sections: “QoS Overview” on page 96 “Mapping CoS Priorities to Egress Queues” on page 99 “Configuring CoS”...
Page 96: Qos Overview
The priorities are 0 to 7, with 0 the lowest priority and 7 the highest. When a tagged packet is received on a port on the switch, it is examined by the AT-S79 software for its priority. The switch software uses the priority to determine which egress priority queue the packet should be stored in on the egress port.
Page 97 Note QoS is disabled by default on the switch. You can customize these priority-to-queue assignments using the AT-S79 management software. The procedure for changing the default mappings is found in “Mapping CoS Priorities to Egress Queues” on page 99. Note that because all ports must use the same priority-to-egress queue mappings, these mappings are applied at the switch level.
Page 98 Chapter 8: Quality of Service (QoS) One last thing to note is that CoS does not change the priority level in a tagged packet. The packet leaves the switch with the same priority it had when it entered. This is true even if you change the default priority-to- egress queue mappings.
Page 99: Mapping Cos Priorities To Egress Queues
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide Mapping CoS Priorities to Egress Queues This procedure explains how to change the default mappings of CoS priorities to egress priority queues, shown in Table 2 on page 97. This is set at the switch level and applies to all ports. This procedure also enables and disables QoS.

AT-GS950/16 Local Management System Quality of Service Configuration -> Traffic Class Configuration Menu QoS Status : Disabled Traffic Class Queue ------------- ----- 3 : Highest 0 : Lowest ----------------------- <COMMAND>...
Page 101 AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide The following prompt is displayed: Enter queue for traffic class > c. Enter the new egress queue number for the traffic class. The range is 0 to 3. 0 is the lowest priority queue and 3 is the highest. You can specify only one egress queue.
Page 102: Configuring Cos
Chapter 8: Quality of Service (QoS) Configuring CoS As explained in “QoS Overview” on page 96, a packet received on a port is placed it into one of four priority queues on the egress port according to the switch’s mapping of 802.1p priority levels to egress priority queues. The default mappings are shown in Table 2 on page 97.

Chapter 9: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control Overview 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control (IEEE 802.1x) is used to control who can send traffic through and receive traffic from a switch port. With this feature, the switch will not allow an end node to send or receive traffic through a port until the user of the node logs on by entering a username and password.
Page 109: Authentication Process
AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide Authentication Below is a brief overview of the authentication process that occurs between a supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. For further Process details, refer to the IEEE 802.1x standard. Either the authenticator (that is, a switch port) or the supplicant can initiate an authentication prompt exchange.
Page 110: Figure 26. Example Of The Authenticator Role
Chapter 9: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control Force-unauthorized - Places the port in the unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. This port control setting blocks all users from accessing the network through the port and is similar to disabling a port and can be used to secure a port from use.
