5-4-7. VLAN Configuration

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

plugged into the same switch physically.

The MIL-SME801P switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tag-based) and

protocol-based VLANs. VLAN support is Disabled and all ports belong to a

single broadcast domain by default.

NOTE: Rebooting the switch is necessary for changes to take effect.
