Figure 13-9 Walkthrough Stage Four, VLAN Port Configuration

This effectively completes the configuration of a single VLAN, assigning it to a port, and

configuring the switch to forward the frames received on that port to a trunk port. The trunk port in

turn forward the frames as tagged to another switch.

You can now use the VLAN Classification Configuration and Port Protocol Configuration screens

to transmit frames according to classification rules and associated ports, as described in Chapter 8.

13.11 EXAMPLES

The following sections provide some examples of how VLAN-aware SmartSwitches can be

configured to group users at the port level to create VLANs in existing networks. Each example

presents a problem and shows how it is solved by configuring the switches using the VLAN Local

Management screens. The actual procedures and screens used to configure a VLAN-aware switch

are covered in Chapter 8. Also provided in the discussion of each example is a description of how

the frames transmitted from one user would traverse the network to its target device.

NOTE: Due to the complexity of Local Management, the following simple examples and

are not meant to cover the full potential of Local Management.
