3.10 VLAN
The MMC1000xx supports 802.1q Tagged based VLAN’s. VLAN’s are used to logically separate
your network into smaller more defined networks. VLAN’s help to reduce broadcast traffic across
your network as all broadcast traffic will be limited to the VLAN group in which it belongs. A typical
example of where a VLAN could be used is in a school environment where the teacher and student
networks must be kept separate. The switch supports up to 16 active VLAN entries and a VLAN ID
ranging from 1 – 4094.
3.10.1 VLAN Mode
The MMC1000xx supports Tag-Based and Double Tag VLAN modes.
