In a flat bridged network, a broadcast domain is confined to a single LAN segment or even a specific
physical location, such as a department or building floor. In a switch-based network, such as one
comprised of Alcatel switching systems, a broadcast domain-or VLAN- can span multiple physical
switches and can include ports from a variety of media types. For example, a single VLAN could span
three different switches located in different buildings and include 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet,
802.1q tagged ports and/or a link aggregate of ports.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes how to define and manage VLAN configurations through the Command Line Inter-
face (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of
commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
