Figure 12-11 Final Walkthrough Stage, Display Port 10 VLAN List and Set Its Filtering
This effectively completes the displaying of the Port VLAN List and the setting of the port filtering
of all untagged frames.
12.11 EXAMPLES
The following sections provide examples of how VLAN-aware SmartSwitches can be configured
to group users at the port level to create VLANs in existing networks. Each example presents a
problem and shows how it is solved by configuring the switches using the VLAN Local
Management screens. The actual procedures and screens used to configure a VLAN-aware switch
are covered in Chapter 7. Also provided in the discussion of each example is a description of how
the frames transmitted from one user would traverse the network to its target device.
12.12 EXAMPLE 1, SINGLE SWITCH OPERATION
This first example looks at the configuration of a single Ethernet switch for VLAN operation. In
this example, two groups of three users are to be assigned to two VLANs to isolate them from one
another. The blue users (B1, B2, B3) are to be kept completely separate from the red users (R1, R2,
R3). Figure 12-12 shows the initial state of the switch.
