Configuration Guide Configuring VLAN
3 Configuring VLAN
3.1 Overview
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical network created based on a physical network. A VLAN can be categorized
into Layer-2 networks of the OSI model.
A VLAN has the same properties as a common LAN, except for physical location limitation. Unicast, broadcast and multicast
frames of Layer 2 are forwarded and transmitted within a VLAN, keeping traffic segregated.
We may define a port as a member of a VLAN, and all terminals connected to this port are parts of a virtual network that
supports multiple VLANs. You do not need to adjust the network physically when adding, removing and modifying users.
Communication among VLANs is realized through Layer-3 devices.

VLAN
A VLAN is a logical network created based on a physical network. A VLAN has the same properties as a common LAN,
except for physical location limitation. Unicast, broadcast and multicast frames of Layer 2 are forwarded and transmitted
within a VLAN, keeping traffic segregated.
The VLANs supported by Ruijie products comply with the IEEE802.1Q standard. A maximum of 4094 VLANs (VLAN ID
1-4094) are supported, among which VLAN 1 cannot be deleted.
The configurable VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094.
In case of insufficient hardware resources, the system returns information on VLAN creation failure.
