You need to satisfy certain prerequisites for switches and end stations before you can set up VLANs in a network:
- The switches deployed in the network either must comply with IEEE 802.1Q standards or must have a vendor-specific implementation of VLANs.
- For an end-station to support multiple VLANs, it must be able to dynamically register (using GVRP) or must be statically configured to belong to one or more VLANs.
