5.4 VLAN Configuration
Figure 5-7. The VLAN Configuration menu
Assigning physical ports within a work group is a simple and common
method of defining a virtual work group – VLAN. It delivers the benefit of
broadcast control and simplifies configuration for the network manager.
One advantage of the Port-Based VLAN is its simplicity and ease of
configuration. Limited security, however, is its drawback – anyone can
plug into the port and gain access to the VLAN.
