4.4.4.12 Port VLAN Security Example

Suppose that 3 computers on ports 1, 2 and 3 must talk to a printer on port 4, but not

with each other — and none of these devices is VLAN-aware. One way to accomplish

this is to define 4 VLANs, assign each included port the option “MF” (enabling its Tag

Filter) and match the Default Tags to the VIDs as follows

:

Group

VID

Member Ports

Default Tags

1

1

1 & 4

Port 1 = 1

2

2

2 & 4

Port 2 = 2

3

3

3 & 4

Port 3 = 3

4

4

1, 2, 3 & 4

Port 4 = 4

Ports 1, 2 and 3 do not talk to each other because each port uses a different tag.

However, each port’s tag is shared with port 4. The printer on port 4 can still talk to

ports 1, 2 and 3 using its own tag (4).
