Static VLAN operation
Static VLANs are configured with a name, VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. ID number (VID) and port members. For dynamic VLANs, see GVRP. 802.1Q compatibility enables you to assign each switch port to multiple VLANs.

IP Addressing |
Usually configured with at least one unique IP address. A port-based VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. can have no IP address. However, this limits switch features available to ports on that VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network.. See "How IP addressing affects switch operation" in the chapter "Configuring IP Addressing" in the Basic Operation Guide for the switch. Multiple IP addresses allow multiple subnets within the same VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network.. See the chapter on "Configuring IP Addressing" in the Basic Operation Guide for AOS-S for the switch. |
You can configure IP addresses on all protocol VLANs, but IP addressing is used only on IPv4 and IPv6 VLANs. Restrictions: Loopback interfaces share the same IP address space with VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. configurations. The maximum number of IP addresses supported on a switch is 2048; this includes all IP addresses configured for both VLANs and loopback interfaces (except for the default loopback IP address 127.0.0.1). Each IP address configured on a VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. interface must be unique in the switch; it cannot be used by a VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. interface or another loopback interface. For more information, see the chapter on "Configuring IP Addressing" in the Basic Operation Guide for AOS-S. |
Untagged VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. Membership |
A port can be a member of one untagged, port-based VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network.. All other port-based VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. assignments for that port must be tagged. |
A port can be an untagged member of one protocol VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. of a specific protocol type, such as IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange. A network-layer protocol that defines how data is sent and received between systems. or IPv6. If the same protocol type is configured in multiple protocol VLANs, then a port can be an untagged member of only one of those. For example, if you have two protocol VLANs, 100 and 200 and both include IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange. A network-layer protocol that defines how data is sent and received between systems., then a port can be an untagged member of either VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. 100 or VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. 200, but not both. A port's untagged VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. memberships can include up to four different protocol types. It can be an untagged member of one of the following:
|
Tagged VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network. Membership |
A port can be a tagged member of any port-based VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network.. |
A port can be a tagged member of any protocol-based VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. Separate logical broadcast domain created within a physical network.. |
Routing |
If the switch configuration enables IP routing, the switch can internally route IP (IPv4) traffic between port-based VLANs and between port-based and IPv4 protocol-based VLANs. If the switch is not configured to route traffic internally between port-based VLANs, then an external router must be used to move traffic between VLANs. |
If the switch configuration enables IP routing, the switch can internally route IPv4 traffic as follows: Other protocol-based VLANs require an external router for moving traffic between VLANs.
NETbeui and SNA Systems Network Architecture. A proprietary networking architecture, a complete protocol stack for interconnecting computers and their resources. are non-routable protocols. End stations intended to receive traffic in these protocols must be attached to the same physical network. |
