602 Configuring VLANs
VLAN Configuration Examples
This section contains the following examples:
• Configuring VLANs Using Dell OpenManage Administrator
• Configuring VLANs Using the CLI
• Configuring a Voice VLAN
This example assumes that network administrator wants to create the VLANs 
in Table 22-9:
NOTE: For an example that shows how to use a RADIUS server to provide VLAN 
information, see "Controlling Authentication-Based VLAN Assignment" on 
page 498. For an example that shows how to allow the switch to dynamically 
create RADIUS-assigned VLANS, see "Allowing Dynamic VLAN Creation of 
RADIUS-Assigned VLANs" on page 502.
Table 22-9. Example VLANs
VLAN 
ID
VLAN Name VLAN Type Purpose
100 Engineering Port-based All employees in the Engineering department 
use this VLAN. Confining this department’s 
traffic to a single VLAN helps reduce the amount 
of traffic in the broadcast domain, which 
increases bandwidth.
200 Marketing Port-based All employees in the Marketing department use 
this VLAN.
300 Sales MAC-based The sales staff works remotely but occasionally 
comes to the office. Since these employees do 
not have assigned work areas, they typically plug 
their laptops into a network port in an available 
cubicle, office, or conference room. 
400 Payroll Port-based The payroll department has sensitive traffic and 
needs its own VLAN to help keep that traffic 
private.
