Static VLANs

Static VLANs
In a
static VLAN
, the administrator creates a VLAN and then assigns switch ports to it. The
association does not change until the administrator changes the port assignment. This is the typical
way of creating VLANs, and it is the most secure. This type of VLAN configuration is easy
to set up and monitor, working well in a network where the movement of users within the network
is maintained by basically just locking the network closet doors. Using network management
software to configure the ports can be helpful but is not mandatory.
