6.1 VLAN Management

6.1.1 View VLAN Configuration

Select "VLAN VLAN Management" to view the switch's VLAN configuration settings (Figure 6.1). A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of
workstations, servers and other network resources that behave as if they were connected to a single network segment. VLANs allow for easy
network segmentation. Users that communicate frequently with each other can be grouped into common VLANs, regardless of physical
location. Each group's traffic is contained largely within the VLAN, which reduces extraneous traffic and improves efficiency within the
network. A VLAN also allows for easy network management. Changes to the number of nodes in a network and the location of the nodes can
be handled through the management interface rather than in the wiring closet.

• VLAN ID: Displays the VLAN identification number.
• VLAN Name: Displays the name of VLAN; the default name for VLAN 1 is DEFAULT.
• VLAN IP: Displays the management IP address of the switch.

Note: By default, all the ports belong to VLAN 1. The management VLAN cannot be deleted.
