A VLAN is a broadcast domain created by switches. This means the VLAN
isconfigured on switches, layer 3 switches. Note that some of the switches
don’tsupport VLAN.
When do I need a VLAN?
It is important to point out that you do not have to configure a VLAN until yournetwork
gets so large and has so much traffic that you need one.You need to consider using
VLAN in any of following situations:
You have more than 200 devices on your LAN.
You have a lot of broadcast on your LAN.
Groups of users need more security or are being slowed down by too many
broadcasts.
Groups of users need to be on the same broadcast domain because they are
running the same applications. An example would be a company that has a lot
of VoIP phones connect to an IPPBX. The administrator of the network might like
to separate the VoIP from the network and configure VLAN for IP phones and
PCs.
Note:
MyPBX U300 acts as a VLAN client, a 3-layer switch is needed.
