User Manual for the NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch Software

VLAN Configuration Example

This section provides configuration examples for VLAN configurations.

LAN switches can segment networks into logically defined virtual workgroups.This logical segmentation is commonly referred as a virtual LAN (VLAN). This logical segmentation of devices provides better LAN administration, security, and management of broadcast activity over the network. Virtual LANs have become an integral feature of switched LAN solutions.

The VLAN example below demonstrates a simple VLAN configuration with a GSM7224 Layer 2 Managed Switch.

If a single port is a member of VLANs 2, 3 and 4, the port expects to see traffic tagged with either VLAN 2,3 or 4.

The PVID (Port Virtual Identification) could be something entirely different, for example '12' and things would still work fine, just so incoming traffic was tagged.

Example:

Project A = (VLAN2, ports 1,2)

Project B = (VLAN3, ports 3,4)

Project C = (VLAN4, ports 5,6)

Project P = (VLAN 9, port 7)
