Virtual LANs
This chapter provides the following examples:
• Create Two VLANs on page 10
• Assign Ports to VLAN2 on page 12
• Assign Ports to VLAN3 on page 13
• Assign VLAN3 as the Default VLAN for Port 1/0/2 on page 15
• Create a MAC-Based VLAN on page 16
• Create a Protocol-Based VLAN on page 19
• Virtual VLANs: Create an IP Subnet–Based VLAN on page 21
• Voice VLANs on page 24
Adding virtual LAN (VLAN) support to a Layer 2 switch offers some of the benefits of both
bridging and routing. Like a bridge, a VLAN switch forwards traffic based on the Layer 2 header,
which is fast. Like a router, it partitions the network into logical segments, which provides better
administration, security, and management of multicast traffic.
A VLAN is a set of end stations and the switch ports that connect them. You can have different
reasons for the logical division, such as department or project membership. The only physical
requirement is that the end station and the port to which it is connected both belong to the same
VLAN.
2
Each VLAN in a network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in
the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. An end station might omit the tag, or the
VLAN portion of the tag, in which case the first switch port to receive the packet can either reject
it or insert a tag using its default VLAN ID. A given port can handle traffic for more than one
VLAN, but it can support only one default VLAN ID.
The Private Edge VLAN feature lets you set protection between ports located on the switch. This
means that a protected port cannot forward traffic to another protected port on the same switch.
The feature does not provide protection between ports located on different switches.
The diagram in this section shows a switch with four ports configured to handle the traffic for two
VLANs. Port 1/0/2 handles traffic for both VLANs, while port 1/0/1 is a member of VLAN 2 only,

and ports 1/0/3 and 1/0/4 are members of VLAN 3 only. The script following the diagram shows
the commands you would use to configure the switch as shown in the diagram.

ProSafe Managed Switch
Create a MAC-Based VLAN
The MAC-based VLAN feature allows incoming untagged packets to be assigned to a VLAN
and thus classify traffic based on the source MAC address of the packet.
You define a MAC to VLAN mapping by configuring an entry in the MAC to VLAN table. An
entry is specified using a source MAC address and the appropriate VLAN ID. The MAC to
VLAN configurations are shared across all ports of the device (i.e., there is a system-wide
table that has MAC address to VLAN ID mappings).
When untagged or priority tagged packets arrive at the switch and entries exist in the MAC to
VLAN table, the source MAC address of the packet is looked up. If an entry is found, the
corresponding VLAN ID is assigned to the packet. If the packet is already priority tagged it will
maintain this value; otherwise, the priority will be set to 0 (zero). The assigned VLAN ID is
verified against the VLAN table. If the VLAN is valid, ingress processing on the packet
continues; otherwise, the packet is dropped. This implies that you can configure a MAC
address mapping to a VLAN that has not been created on the system.

Virtual VLANs: Create an IP Subnet–Based VLAN
In an IP subnet–based VLAN, all the end workstations in an IP subnet are assigned to the
same VLAN. In this VLAN, users can move their workstations without reconfiguring their
network addresses. IP subnet VLANs are based on Layer 3 information from packet headers.
The switch makes use of the network-layer address (for example, the subnet address for
TCP/IP networks) in determining VLAN membership. If a packet is untagged or priority
tagged, the switch associates the packet with any matching IP subnet classification. If no IP
Chapter 2. VLANs |21
ProSafe Managed Switch
subnet classification can be made, the packet is subjected to the normal VLAN classification
rules of the switch. This IP subnet capability does not imply a routing function or that the
VLAN is routed. The IP subnet classification feature affects only the VLAN assignment of a
packet. Appropriate 802.1Q VLAN configuration must exist in order for the packet to be
switched.

Voice VLANs
The voice VLAN feature enables switch ports to carry voice traffic with defined priority to
enable separation of voice and data traffic coming onto port. Voice VLAN ensures that the
sound quality of an IP phone does not deteriorate when the data traffic on the port is high.
Also, the inherent isolation provided by VLANs ensures that inter-VLAN traffic is under
