Port-Based

Examples

What follows are two examples of port-based VLANs that illustrate the
basic principles discussed earlier in this chapter.

Example 1

Our first example is illustrated in Figure 127. It shows two port-based
VLANs on an AT-8400 switch.

Figure 127 Port-based VLAN - Example 1

The two VLANs are Sales and Production. They were assigned unique
VIDs of 2 and 3, respectively, when they were created. (The VID of 1 is
reserved for the Default_VLAN.) The ports were also assigned a PVID
value that matches the VID of the VLAN in which they were made a
member. This is performed automatically by the management software.
For instance, all the ports of the Sales VLAN were automatically assigned
a PVID of 2 when the ports were made a member of the VLAN.
