6.5 VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which allows you to isolate network traffic. Only the members of the
VLAN will receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating
a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network
devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still
plugged into the same switch physically.

The switch supports port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The


default configuration of VLAN operation mode is at “802.1Q”.

VLAN Configuration – 802.1Q

Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard, and t is


possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames.
Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.

You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol.
There are 256 VLAN groups to provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the
all ports on the switch belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN
cannot be deleted.

GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes.
If the switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a
GVRP request by using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch
will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.
