A VLAN is a group of ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same

broadcast domain. (That is, all ports carrying traffic for a particular subnet

address would normally belong to the same VLAN.)

Note This chapter describes static VLANs, which are VLANs you manually config-

ure with a name, VLAN ID (VID), and port assignments. (For information on

dynamic VLANs, see chapter 3, “GVRP”.)

Using a VLAN, you can group users by logical function instead of physical

location. This helps to control bandwidth usage by allowing you to group high-

bandwidth users on low-traffic segments and to organize users from different

LAN segments according to their need for common resources.

By default, 802.1Q VLAN support is enabled for eight VLANS. The table below

shows the maximum number of VLANs you can configure on each switch

model:

Table 2-1.VLAN Maximums

Switch Model Maximum Supported VLANs

Series 2610 Switches Up to 256

Series 2610-PWR Switches Up to 256

(802.1Q compatibility enables you to assign each switch port to multiple

VLANs, if needed, and the port-based nature of the configuration allows

interoperation with older switches that require a separate port for each

VLAN.)
