Assigning Ports to VLANs Dynamically Assigning Ports to VLANs

VLAN Rule Classification: Initial Configuration
As soon as the workstations start sending traffic, switch software checks the source subnet of the frames
and looks for a match with any configured IP network address rules. Since the workstations are sending
traffic that matches a VLAN rule, each port is assigned to the appropriate VLAN without user interven-
tion. As the diagram on page 10-10 shows,
• Port 1 is assigned to VLAN 2, because the workstation is transmitting IP traffic on network 130.0.0.0
that matches the VLAN 2 network address rule.
• Port 2 is assigned to VLAN 3 because the workstation is transmitting IP traffic on network 138.0.0.0
that matches the VLAN 3 network address rule.
• Port 3 is assigned to VLAN 4 because the workstation is transmitting IP traffic on network 140.0.0.0
that matches the VLAN 4 network address rule.
