BayStack switch VLANs
A VLAN is a collection of ports on one or more switches that define a broadcast domain. BayStack support two types of VLANs:
- Port-based VLAN
- Protocol-based VLAN
For further information about VLANs on specific models, refer to Using the BayStack 350 Series 10/100 Autosense Switch (part number 893-00992-D), Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch (part number 304594-A), and Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch (part number 304201-D).
When you create VLANs using Device Manager, observe the following rules:
- VLANs must have unique VLAN IDs (VIDs) and names.
- An access port can belong to multiple protocol-based VLANs with a unique protocol in each VLAN. Access port can only belong to one of the protocol-based VLANS with the same protocol. However, a tagged trunk can belong to multiple-based VLANs with the same protocol.
- A port (access or tagged trunk) can belong to multiple port-based VLANs.
- A port (access or tagged trunk) can belong to a port and protocol-based VLAN.
- 410 and gig MDA ports have to be a tagged trunks for protocol-based VLAN.
