Subnet-based VLAN
The Switches uses IP subnet-based VLAN claasification to group devices.
Figure 3 - 15 Application of Subnet VLAN
The above figure is an example of subnet-based VLAN. The IP address of customer A is 172.18.0.1 and IP address of
customer B is 172.18.0.2. Both of them connect to the same port of the Switch through a HUB. Customers can access
Internet through VLAN 10 and the local server through VLAN 20. However, with the subnet VLAN configuration in the
example, IP 172.18.0.1 is assigned to VLAN 10 and 172.18.0.2 is assigned to VLAN 20. Customer A can only access
Internet, and customer B can only access the local server.
