| A VLAN is a group of ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same | ||||||
|
| broadcast domain. (That is, all ports carrying traffic for a particular subnet | ||||||
|
| address would normally belong to the same VLAN.) |

| This chapter describes static VLANs, which are VLANs you manually config | ||||||
|
| ure with a name, VLAN ID (VID), and port assignments. (For information on | ||||||
|
| dynamic VLANs, see chapter 3, “GVRP”.) |
|
|
|

|
| Using a VLAN, you can group users by logical function instead of physical | ||||||
|
| |||||||
|
| location. This helps to control bandwidth usage by allowing you to group high- | ||||||
|
| bandwidth users on | ||||||
|
| LAN segments according to their need for common resources. | ||||||
|
| By default, 802.1Q VLAN support is enabled for eight VLANS. The table below | ||||||
|
| shows the maximum number of VLANs you can configure on each switch | ||||||
