Creating shared VLAN and access VLAN
Configuring the PVID of access VLAN
Asymmetric VLAN is especially effective when used in a small network where a L3 routing device is absent,
or if the resource to be shared is not capable of supporting tagged VLAN (for example, a printer).
The example below is a typical application of Asymmetric VLAN. Servers and firewall are located in shared
VLAN (default VLAN), and PCs 1, 2 and 3 are located in different VLAN. Because VLANs remain separate,
