vlan separation?

[greif1]

Another Vlan question:
If I set a group of ports in a 3com 3300 switch to be a vlan, will those ports be separated from the other vlan traffic the same as if it was a separate switch?

One way to describe VLANs: they are like a private line circuit, separate from everything else (in this case virtual). All the ports assigned to a given VLAN can only communicate with themselves and nothing else, unless you use a Layer 3 device to provide a means of routing to other subnets or gateways, etc.

I believe the 3Com documents have a glossary of terms, including VLAN. Have you not read the documents for the 3300?
They do appear to be confusing at times. Their examples are not always clear.
