VLAN Environments

You can configure different VLAN types in any combination. Note that the default VLAN will always be present. (For more on the default VLAN, refer to “VLAN Support and the Default VLAN” on page 2-45.)

Table 2-2. VLAN Environments

VLAN Environment

Elements

The default VLAN (port-based;

In the default VLAN configuration, all ports belong to VLAN

VID of “1”) Only

1 as untagged members.

 

VLAN 1 is a port-based VLAN, for IPv4 traffic.

 

 

Multiple VLAN Environment

In addition to the default VLAN, the configuration can include

 

one or more other port-based VLANs and one or more

 

protocol VLANs. (The switches covered in this guide allow

 

up to 256 (vids up to 4094) VLANs of all types.) Using VLAN

 

tagging, ports can belong to multiple VLANs of all types.

 

Enabling routing on the switch enables the switch to route

 

IPv4 traffic between port-based VLANs and between port-

 

based VLANs and IPv4 protocol VLANs. Routing other types

 

of traffic between VLANs requires an external router

 

capable of processing the appropriate protocol(s).
