Chapter 5
Creating and managing VLANs
This chapter describes using Device Manager to manage VLANs on your
BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch. The chapter covers creating, editing, and
deleting VLANs. It includes the following sections:
• VLANs (next)
• Creating VLANs (page 106)
• Modifying and managing existing VLANs (page 109)
VLANs
A VLAN is a collection of ports on one or more switches that define a broadcast
domain. The Baystack 380-24F Gigabit switch supports port-based VLANs.
For a further description of VLANs, refer to Using the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit
Switch.
When you create VLANs using Device Manager, observe the following rules:
• The ports in a VLAN or MLT must be a subset of a single spanning tree
group.
• VLANs must have unique VLAN IDs and names.
