Modular Ethernet Switch User's Guide VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allow you to construct a port group as well as to reduce traffic. All packets are limited to members of the VLAN. MAC-based Broadcast Domains limit broadcast, multicast and unknown packets to members of the broadcast domain(s) defined here. For more information on this section, please refer to "Switch Management Concepts" chapter. Figure 7-26. Configure VLAN window To use the VLAN mode, select MAC based (broadcast domain), 802.1Q or Port based under Restart VLAN Mode--otherwise, leave the setting at Disabled. ♦ Restart VLAN Mode Choose from four settings for this mode: Disabled, MAC based (broadcast domain), Port based or 802.1Q. After being restarted, the Switch will implement the type of VLAN or broadcast domain chosen here. ♦ Management VLAN ID When IEEE 802.1Q VLANs are enabled, this is the VLAN that will be used for management packets. Make sure the switch port that the management station is connected to has this PVID number and is a member of this 802.1Q VLAN (VID). This should be the first VLAN you create, otherwise, you may not be able to communicate with the switch except through the console port. This setting can only be configured through the console connection. Web, Telnet, and MIB management stations can only view this setting as a read-only object. After clicking the Apply button, go to the Maintenance section and choose Save Changes, and then restart the Switch to activate VLANs on the Switch. MAC-Based Broadcast Domains To use MAC-based broadcast domains, you must first create a MAC-based broadcast domain using the create/remove function and then add members to the broadcast domain using the Configure broadcast domain member function. 96 Web-Based Network Management

VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allow you to construct a port group as well as to reduce traffic. All packets are limited to
members of the VLAN. MAC-based Broadcast Domains limit broadcast, multicast and unknown packets to
members of the broadcast domain(s) defined here. For more information on this section, please refer to
“
Switch Management Concepts”
chapter.
Figure 7-26.
Configure VLAN window
To use the VLAN mode, select
MAC based
(broadcast domain),
802.1Q
or
Port based
under Restart VLAN
Mode
--
otherwise, leave the setting at
Disabled
.
♦
Restart VLAN Mode
Choose from four settings for this mode:
Disabled
,
MAC based
(broadcast domain),
Port based
or
802.1Q
. After being restarted, the Switch will implement the type of VLAN or broadcast
domain chosen here.
♦
Management VLAN ID
When
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
are enabled, this is the VLAN that will be used for
management packets. Make sure the switch port that the management station is connected to has this
PVID number and is a member of this 802.1Q VLAN (VID). This should be the first VLAN you create,
otherwise, you may not be able to communicate with the switch except through the console port. This
setting can only be configured through the console connection. Web, Telnet, and MIB management stations
can only view this setting as a read-only object.
After clicking the
Apply
button, go to the
Maintenance
section and choose
Save Changes
, and then restart
the Switch to activate VLANs on the Switch.
MAC-Based Broadcast Domains
To use MAC-based broadcast domains, you must first create a MAC-based broadcast domain using the
create/remove
function and then add members to the broadcast domain using the Configure broadcast domain
member
function.
