VLAN Configuration

3) Configuration workload is reduced. VLAN can be used to group specific hosts.
When the physical position of a host changes, no additional network configuration
is required if the host still belongs to the same VLAN.
VLAN standard is described in IEEE 802.1Q, which is issued by IEEE in 1999.
1.1.2 VLAN Classification
VLANs fall into the following four categories.
z Port-based VLAN
z MAC address-based VLAN
z Protocol VLAN
z IP multicast group-based VLAN
Among these VLANs, the members of a port-based VLAN are defined in terms of
switch ports. You can add ports to which close-related hosts are connected to the same
port-based VLAN. This is also the simplest yet most effective way to create VLANs.
 Note:
Currently, S3100 series switches only support port-based VLANs.
