A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logical grouping that allows stations to 
communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, 
independent of the actual physical configuration of a network.

The IntraCore 8000 supports port-based VLANs, in compliance with the 
IEEE 802.1Q standard. The following subsections describe the concepts and 
details needed to configure and manage VLANs on IntraCore switches.
