VLAN Management

A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logical grouping that allows stations to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the actual physical configuration of a network.

The IntraCore 8000 supports port-based VLANs, in compliance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard. The following subsections describe the concepts and details needed to configure and manage VLANs on IntraCore switches.
