Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) and GVRP
Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)
Menu: Configuring VLAN Parameters
In the factory default state, support is enabled for up to eight VLANs. (You can
change the switch VLAN configuration to support up to 256 VLANs.) 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
“The Primary VLAN” on page 11-6.) In addition to the
default VLAN, you can configure up to 255 other static VLANs by changing the
“Maximum VLANs” parameter, adding new VLAN names and VIDs, and then
assigning one or more ports to each VLAN. (The switch accepts a maximum
of 256 VLANs, including the default VLAN and any dynamic VLANs the switch
creates if you enable GVRP—
page 11-34.) Note that each port can be assigned
to multiple VLANs by using VLAN tagging. (See “VLAN Tagging Information”
on page 11-22.)
