DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
Network resources such as printers and servers however, can be shared across VLANs. This is
achieved by setting up overlapping VLANs. That is ports can belong to more than one VLAN group.
For example, setting VLAN 1 members to ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 and VLAN 2 members to ports 1, 5, 6,
and 7. Port 1 belongs to two VLAN groups. Ports 8, 9, and 10 are not configured to any VLAN group.
This means ports 8, 9, and 10 are in the same VLAN group.
VLAN and Trunk Groups
The members of a trunk group have the same VLAN setting. Any VLAN setting on the members of a
trunk group will apply to the other member ports.
NOTE: In order to use VLAN segmentation in conjunction with port trunk
groups, you can first set the port trunk group(s), and then you may configure
VLAN settings. If you wish to change the port trunk grouping with VLANs
already in place, you will not need to reconfigure the VLAN settings after
changing the port trunk group settings. VLAN settings will automatically change
in conjunction with the change of the port trunk group settings.
Static VLAN Entry
In the Configuration folder, open the VLAN folder and click the Static VLAN Entry link to open
the following window:
Figure 6- 36. Current 802.1Q Static VLANs Entries window
The 802.1Q Static VLANs window lists all previously configured VLANs by VLAN ID and VLAN
Name. To delete an existing 802.1Q VLAN, click the corresponding X button under the Delete
heading.
To create a new 802.1Q VLAN, click the Add button in the 802.1Q Static VLANs window. A new
window will appear, as shown below, to configure the port settings and to assign a unique name and
number to the new VLAN. See the table below for a description of the parameters in the new window.
