Configuring VLANs Using the Dell EMC OpenManage Switch
Administrator
This example assumes that network administrator wants to create the VLANs
in Table 20-8:
NOTE: For an example that shows how to use a RADIUS server to provide VLAN
information, see "Controlling Authentication-Based VLAN Assignment" on
page 384. For an example that shows how to allow the switch to dynamically
create RADIUS-assigned VLANS, see "Allowing Dynamic Creation of RADIUS-
Assigned VLANs" on page 388.

Type
Purpose
100 Engineering Port-
based
All employees in the Engineering department use
this VLAN. Confining this department’s traffic to a
single VLAN helps reduce the amount of traffic in
the broadcast domain, which increases bandwidth.
200 Marketing Port-
based
All employees in the Marketing department use this
VLAN.
300 Sales MAC-
based
The sales staff works remotely but occasionally
comes to the office. Since these employees do not
have assigned work areas, they typically plug their
laptops into a network port in an available cubicle,
office, or conference room.
400 Payroll Port-
based
The payroll department has sensitive traffic and
needs its own VLAN to help keep that traffic private.
