EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch
1-6 Getting to Know the EES 1024
Figure 1-3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application
1.5.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application
The switch supports up to 4095 tag-based IEEE 802.1Q-compatible virtual LAN (VLANs).
Tag-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 logical grouping of end stations, 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.
