4.3 VLAN Management
A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logical grouping that allows stations to communicate as if they were physically
connected to a single LAN, independent of the actual physical configuration of a network. The IntraCore
35160 supports port-based VLANs, in compliance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard. The following sections
describe how to configure and manage VLANs on the switch. For more information on VLANs, see Chapter
7 Switching Concepts.
