Chapter 16: Configuring advanced

You can configure advanced switching on the switch ports of the Avaya G250 and G350 Media

Gateways. In the G250, the switch ports are the ETH LAN PoE ports located on the front panel.

For the G350, switch ports are located on the Avaya MM314 Media Module and the Avaya

MM316 Media Module, either (or neither) of which may be installed.

A VLAN is made up of a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so the

devices operate as if they form an independent LAN. These devices can, in fact, be located on

several different LAN segments. VLANs can be used to group together departments and other

logical groups, thereby reducing network traffic flow and increasing security within the VLAN.

The following figure illustrates how a simple VLAN can connect several endpoints in different

locations and attached to different hubs. In this example, the Management VLAN consists of

stations on numerous floors of the building which are connected to both Device A and Device B.
