Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) B-5
v1.0, December 2007
3. With the VLAN configuration that you set up, the following situations produce results as
described:
• If a packet comes in on port 1, it can go to ports 1, 2, 3, and 8, as these ports are the only ports
in the VLAN with VID 1. A Sales person who uses port 1 can access the Internet, send and
receive e-mail, and access the file archives and print server, but cannot access ports that are
assigned to the Marketing and Accounting departments.
• If a Marketing person sends a broadcas t message, the Sales and Accounting departments are
not affected by the message, because it does not go out on their ports. Only the Marketing
department and the IT group receive the broadcast message.
• If an IT person sends a broadcast message, everyone receives it.
