Browser-based interface 16VLANVirtual LANs (VLANs) are commonly used to split up groups of network users into manageable broadcast domains,to create logical segmentation of workgroups, and to enforce security policies among logical segments. This switchsupports up to 1,000 VLANs per switch. Even though the maximum number of VLANs supported at any given timeis 1,000, each can be identified with any number between 1 and 4095. VLAN 4095 is used by the managementnetwork, which includes the management port 19. VLAN 4095 configuration cannot be modified.PVIDEach Port Group has a configurable default VLAN number, known as its PVID (Port VLAN ID). All ports are set asuntagged members of PVID. By default, all ports except port 19 are configured as Group1. The PVID of Group1 is 1.The unique value of PVID is assigned to the Port Group, which contains at least one external port and one internalserver blade port. For the configuration, see the “Port VLAN ID configuration” section later in this chapter.NOTE: Spare Ports Group for unused ports is assigned a PVID.802.1Q VLAN Tagging802.1Q VLAN tagging provides standards-based VLAN support for Ethernet systems. This standard permitsmultiple VLANs to be transmitted over a single Ethernet connection.Tagging places the VLAN identifier in the frame header of a packet, allowing each port to belong to multiple VLANs.For the configuration to add the VLAN ID to the Port Group, see the “Non-Default Virtual LANs” section later in thischapter.NOTE: The SmartPanel does not permit configuration of tagged VLANs across multiple Ports Groups.Port VLAN ID configurationAssign at lease one external port and one internal blade server port to the Port Group to use it and assign a uniquevalue of PVID. On the BBI, choose System settings > Uplink/Group to change the PVID. Edit the value of thefollowing Port VLAN ID. The value of unused Port Group is 0.
