Outline
General Concepts of VLAN
What is VLAN ?
Why use VLAN's?
Different way to assign VLAN Membership.
Spanning Tree in VLAN
Frame processing and 802.1Q standard
Different kind of logical VLAN architecture
What is VLAN ?
vendor-specific solution
and strategy, so defining it
is an issue.
VLAN's allow a network
manager to logically
segment a LAN into
different broadcast
domains.
multiple physical LAN
segments independent of
physical location and can
communicate as if they
were on a common LAN
Performance
Formation of Virtual Workgroups
Simplified Administration
Reduced Cost
Security
VLAN Membership
Membership by Port
Membership by MAC
Address
Membership by IP
Subnet Address
port
vlan
disadvantage of this
method is that it
does not allow for
user mobility.

Advantage :
no reconfiguration needed
Disadvantage :
VLAN membership must be
assigned initially.
performance degradation as
members of different VLANs coexist
on a single switch port

Advantage:
Good for application-based VLAN
strategy
User can move workstations
eliminate the need for frame tagging
Disadvantage :
Performance/ looking for L3 address in
packet.
Less effective with protocols such as
IPX, DECnet, or AppleTalk
unroutable protocols such as NetBIOS
Filtering Database
Membership information for a VLAN is stored in
a filtering database
Static Entries
Static Filtering Entries: for every port whether frames to be
sent to a specific MAC address or group address and on a
specific VLAN should be forwarded or discarded, or follow
dynamic entry
Static Registration Entries: whether frames to be sent to a
specific VLAN are to be tagged or untagged and which ports
are registered for that VLAN
Tagging [802.1Q]
Ethernet Frame Tag Header:
Token Ring and Fiber Distributed Data
Interface (FDDI) tag header:
TCI
Service-Based VLAN
