4.6 VLANs

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic

so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is

logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network

devices are still plug into the same switch physically.

The GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF switch supports IEEE 802.1Q (tagged-based) and Port-Base VLAN

setting in web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “802.1Q”.

Port-based VLAN

Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of

the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire

department.

On port-based VLAN.NIC do not need to be able to identify 802.1Q tags in packet headers. NIC send and receive normal

Ethernet packets. If the packet's destination lies on the same segment, communications take place using normal Ethernet

protocols. Even though this is always the case, when the destination for a packet lies on another switch port, VLAN

considerations come into play to decide if the packet is dropped by the Switch or delivered.

IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the Switch. 802.1Q VLAN require tagging, which enables them to span

the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-compliant).

VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains. All packets entering a VLAN will

only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are members of that VLAN, and this includes

broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown sources.

VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN will only deliver packets between stations

that are members of the VLAN. Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE

802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don't recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging

feature allows VLAN to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows

Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.
