VLANs
The Switch uses VLANs to organise any group of ports into
separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to
the originating group and can eliminate broadcast storms in large
networks. This also provides a more secure and cleaner network
environment.
You can create up to 256 VLANs, and either add specified ports
to a chosen VLAN so that the port can only communicate with
other ports on the VLAN, or specify that a port can belong to all
VLANs.
Communication between different VLANs can only take place if
they are all connected to a router or Layer 3 Switch.
