1.1.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into
multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group. A station can
belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from
stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 8 on page 77.
1.1.4.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain thus increase network
performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by
adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In
the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports
can belong to other VLAN groups too.

1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a
(supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 45.
Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator
and may be necessary to configure advanced features. See the CLI Reference Guide.
FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
See Section 24.8 on page 179.
SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Section
25.3 on page 182.
