VLAN Overview
Virtual LANs (VLANs) are made up of networked devices that are grouped logically into
separate networks. You can group ports on a switch to create a virtual network made up of
the devices connected to the ports.
Ports can be grouped in VLANs using port-based or 802.1Q criteria:
• Port-based VLANs. Assign ports to virtual networks. Ports with the same VLAN ID are
placed in the same VLAN. This feature provides an easy way to partition a network into
private subnetworks.
• 802.1Q VLANs. Create virtual networks using the IEEE 802.1Q standard. 802.1Q uses a
VLAN tagging system to determine which VLAN an Ethernet frame belongs to. You can
configure ports to be a part of a VLAN. When a port receives data tagged for a VLAN, the
data is discarded unless the port is a member of that VLAN. This technique is useful for
communicating with devices outside your local network as well as receiving data from
other ports that are not in the VLAN. However, to use an 802.1Q VLAN, you must know
the VLAN ID.
Create a Basic Port-Based VLAN
A port-based VLAN configuration lets you assign ports on the switch to a VLAN. The number
of VLANs is limited to the number of ports on the switch. In a basic port-based VLAN
configuration, ports with the same VLAN ID are placed into the same VLAN.
You can also assign ports to multiple VLANs (see Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN Groups on
page 32).
By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.
To create a basic port-based VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 6.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select VLAN.
