IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application
The switch support up to 4095 port-based 802.1Q-compatible virtual
LANs (VLANs).
Port-based VLAN Workgroup
You can group the switch ports into broadcast domains by assigning
them to the same VLAN to increase network capacity and
performance. With network segmentation, each switch port connects
to a segment that is a single broadcast domain. Packets received in
one VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN.
VLAN allows the grouping of end stations logically, based not on
physical location but on business policies such as job function or
department. Members of a group can be dispersed throughout a
facility - they do not have to be connected in close physical
locations.
Hence, group members can coordinate their data communication
requirements regardless of the actual working locations; and the
logical network can extend to any point you want it to. Moreover,
VLAN groups can be modified at any time to add, move or change
users without any re-cabling.
