66CHAPTER 8: SETTING UP VIRTUAL LANS
VLAN | This section contains examples of simple VLAN configurations. It |
Configuration | describes how to set up your switch to support simple untagged and |
Examples | tagged connections. |
Using Untagged | The simplest VLAN operates in a small network using a single switch. In |
Connections | this network there is no requirement to pass traffic for multiple VLANs |
| across a link. All traffic is handled by the single Switch and therefore |
| untagged connections can be used. |
| The example shown in Figure 18 illustrates a single Switch connected to |
| endstations and servers using untagged connections. Ports 1, 2 and 3 of |
| the Switch belong to VLAN 1, ports 10, 11 and 12 belong to VLAN 2. |
| VLANs 1 and 2 are completely separate and cannot communicate with |
| each other. This provides additional security for your network. |

To set up the configuration shown in Figure 18:
1Configure the VLANs
Create VLAN 2 on the Switch. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN and already exists.
