6-2. VLAN Port Assignments

·· VLANs are assigned to individual switch ports.
· Ports can be statically assigned to a single VLAN or dynamically assigned to a single VLAN.
· All ports are assigned to VLAN 1 by default.
· Ports are active only if they are assigned to VLANs that exist on the switch.
· Static port assignments are performed by the administrator and do not change unless modified by the administrator, whether the VLAN exists on the switch or not.
· Dynamic VLANs are assigned to a port based on the MAC address of the device plugged into a port.
· Dynamic VLAN configuration requires a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) client, server, and database to operate properly.
