But with VLANS, you can change LAN segment assignments
through the switch’s AT-S62 management software. VLAN
memberships can be changed any time through the
management software without moving the workstations
physically, or having to change group memberships by moving
cables from one switch port to another.
Additionally, a virtual LAN can 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.
VLAN Modes The AT-8000 Series switch supports the following VLAN modes:
❑ User-configured (Tagged) VLAN Mode
— Port-based VLANs
— Tagged VLANs
❑ Basic VLAN Mode
❑ 802.1Q compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
❑ non-802.1Q compliant Multiple VLAN Mode
The User-configured VLAN mode and the Basic VLAN Mode are
explained in this chapter. The two multiple VLAN modes are described in
Chapter 12, Multiple VLAN Modes on page 153.
Note
The user-configured VLAN Mode is 802.1Q compliant.
