Configuring Port-Based VLAN

The VLAN technology allows you to divide a broadcast LAN into multiple distinct broadcast domains, each as a virtual workgroup. Port-based VLAN is the simplest approach to VLAN implementation. The idea is to assign the ports on a switch to different VLANs, confining the propagation of the packets received on a port within the particular VLAN. Thus, separation of broadcast domains and division of virtual groups are achieved.

Networking and Configuration Requirements

In the sample intranet network shown in Figure 1-1, Switch A is connected to the subnet of a department and the subnet for the public servers, and Switch B is connected to the subnet of the other two departments.

To guarantee data security for each department, use VLANs to isolate the four subnets at Layer 2 but configure Layer-3 interfaces on Switch A to enable the hosts of the three departments and the public servers to communicate with each other at Layer 3.

Precautions

l          After you assign the servers and the workstations to different VLANs, they cannot communicate with each other. For them to communicate, you need to configure a Layer 3 VLAN interface for each of them on the switches.

l          After you telnet to an Ethernet port on a switch to make configuration, do not remove the port from its current VLAN. Otherwise, your Telnet connection will be disconnected.

Configuring Protocol-Based VLAN

Protocol-based VLAN, or protocol VLAN, is another approach to VLAN implementation other than port-based VLAN. With protocol VLAN, the switch compares each packet received without a VLAN tag against the protocol templates based on the encapsulation format and the specified field. If a match is found, the switch tags the packet with the corresponding VLAN ID. Thus, the switch can assign packets to a VLAN by protocol.

Networking and Configuration Requirements

Configure the switch to automatically assign IP packets and Appletalk packets of the workroom to different VLANs, ensuring that the workstations can communicate with their respective servers properly.

Precautions

l          At present, the S3100 series support only the standard templates of AppleTalk and IP, the standard template of IPX encapsulated in Ethernet II format, and the user-defined templates matching the Ethernet II encapsulation format. Protocol templates matching 802.2/802.3 encapsulation formats and their extended encapsulation formats are not supported on the S3100 series currently.

l          Because IP depends on ARP for address resolution in Ethernet, you are recommended to configure the IP and ARP templates in the same VLAN and associate them with the same port to prevent communication failure.
