Configuring
Port-Based VLAN
The VLAN technology allows you to divide a broadcast LAN into multiple distinct
broadcast domains, each as a virtual workgroup. Port-based VLAN is the simplest
approach to VLAN implementation. The idea is to assign the ports on a switch to
different VLANs, confining the propagation of the packets received on a port
within the particular VLAN. Thus, separation of broadcast domains and division of
virtual groups are achieved.

Requirements
Switch A and Switch B are connected each to a server and workstation. To
guarantee data security for the servers, you need to isolate the servers from the
workstations by creating VLANs. Allow the devices within a VLAN to communicate
with each other but not directly with the devices in another VLAN.
