But with VLANS, you can change the LAN segment assignment of
an end node connected to the switch through the switch’s AT-S39
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.
The AT-8024, AT-8024GB, and AT-8026FC Fast Ethernet switches support
the following types of VLANs:
❑ Port-based VLANs
❑ Tagged VLANs
These VLANs are described in the following sections.
