Using the BayStack 350 10/100 Autosense Switch
Creating VLAN Workgroups
You can create and configure VLANs by segmenting networks into logical workgroups that are independent of physical connections and locations. You can define the workgroups according to project or department. As shown in
Figure 1-5, workgroup members on VLANs share computer resources but cannot communicate with other workgroups. Access to specific servers is restricted to all but the assigned workgroup. Broadcast packets are confined to a specific VLAN, which relieves traffic congestion.
Refer to “VLAN Configuration” in Chapter 3 to learn how the BayStack 350 switches in Figure 1-5 are configured for this example.
