3.7.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring a MUX VLAN, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration. This
will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
In an enterprise network, all employees of the enterprise can access the enterprise's server. It is
required that some employees be able to communicate with each other, whereas some employees
not communicate with each other.
Configuring a MUX VLAN on the switch connected to PCs helps to save VLAN ID resources,
reduce the configuration workload of the network administrator, and facilitate network
maintenance.

In the MUX VLAN shown in Figure 3-7, the principal port connects the switch to the enterprise's
server; separate ports connect the switch to employees that do not communicate with each other;
group ports connect the switch to employees that need to communicate with each other. A MUX
VLAN consists of VLANs in different types listed in Table 3-7.
