Creating VLAN Workgroups

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.
