VLAN and 3Com Baseline Switch 1

[glio]

Environment:

3Com 4924 ----- 3Com 4400 ----- 3Com Baseline

The 4924 is the core of the network. 4400 connects both the 4924 and a 3Com Baseline

I want to create a VLAN (say, VLAN 5) for all the workstations attached to the 3Com Baseline. Can I simply tag the port that connects the 4400 and the baseline with VLAN ID 5 to create the VLAN? Do I need to explicitly assign a VLAN ID to each workstation?

Yes.

Do I need to explicitly assign a VLAN ID to each workstation?

Nope. As far as I've ever seen, the only reason to tag a client is to deliver more than one VLAN to it.

Thank you very much, LawnBoy. My task is almost complete. I've now segmented the school network into several VLANs... it could never be finished without your help.

Glad I could help.
