802.1Q VLAN User’ s Guide 4-1 CHAPTER 4 EXAMPLES This chapter provides e xamples of how VLAN aware SmartSwitches can be configured to group users at the port le v el to create VLANs in existing networks. Each e xample presents a problem and sho ws ho w it is solved by configuring the switches using the VLAN Local Management screens.
Chapter 4: Examples 4-2 802.1Q VLAN User’ s Guide 4.1.1 Solving the Prob lem T o set up this switch, users will be assigned to two ne w VLANs, red stations to the Red VLAN, and blue stations to the Blue VLAN. The information belo w describes ho w the switch is configured to create these two VLANs and how users are assigned to them.
Example 1, Single Switch Operation 802.1Q VLAN User’ s Guide 4-3 The switch will no w classify each frame recei ved as belonging to either the Red or Blue VLANs. T raffic from one VLAN will not be forwarded to the members of the other VLAN, and all frames transmitted by the switch will be normal, untagged Ethernet frames.
Chapter 4: Examples 4-4 802.1Q VLAN User’ s Guide 6. The switch examines its VLAN configuration information and determines that the frame for Red VLAN is allowed to be forwarded out Port 1 and that it must be sent in an untagged format. 7. The switch forwards the frame out Port 1.
