Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

Menu: Configuring VLAN Parameters

In the factory default state, VLAN support is enabled. Also, all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN (DEFAULT_VLAN) and are in the same broadcast/multicast domain. (The default VLAN is also the default primary VLAN—see “Which VLAN Is Primary?” on page 9-53.) You can configure up to 29 additional static VLANs by adding new VLAN names, and then assigning one or more ports to each VLAN. (The switch accepts a maximum of 30 VLANs, including the default VLAN and any dynamic VLANs the switch creates if you enable GVRP—page9-77.)Note that each port can be assigned to multiple VLANs by using VLAN tagging. (See “VLAN Tagging Information” on page 9-69.)
