Chapter 4 Avaya P460 Layer 2 Features
Multi VLAN Binding
Multi VLAN binding, also known as Multiple VLANs per port, allows access to
shared resources by stations that belong to different VLANs through the same port.
This is useful in applications such as multi-tenant networks, where each user has his
or her own VLAN for privacy. The whole building has a shared high-speed
connection to the ISP.
In order to accomplish this, the P460 enables multiple VLANs per port. The three
available Port Multi-VLAN binding modes are:
• Bound to All - the port is programmed to support the entire 4K VLANs range.
Traffic from any VLAN is forwarded through a port defined as “Bound to All”.
This is intended mainly for easy backbone link configuration
• Bound to Configured - the port supports all the VLANs configured in the
switch. These may be either PVIDs (Port VLAN IDs) or VLANs that were
manually added to the switch.
• Statically Bound - the port supports VLANs manually configured on it.
Figure 4.3 shows these binding modes.
