workstations physically, or having to change group memberships
by moving cables from one switch port to another.

A virtual LAN can also span more than one switch. This means that
the end nodes of a VLAN do not need to be connected to the same
switch and so are not restricted to being in the same physical
location.

The AT-8400 Series switch supports the following types of VLANs that
you can create and modify yourself:

❑ Port-based VLANs

❑ Tagged VLANs

❑ Multiple VLANs

❑ GVRP VLANs

The Port-based and Tagged VLANs are described in the following
sections in this section. For information about the other types of VLANs,
see the following chapters:

Chapter 19, Multiple VLAN Modes on page 435

Chapter 20, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol on page 444
