Modular Ethernet Switch User's Guide Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains If you are unsure about your knowledge of VLANs and MAC-based broadcast domains, please review the VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains section in the "Switch Management Concepts" chapter of this manual before configuring the switch for VLANs. The VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN mode and allows a user to restart the switch in a particular VLAN mode--either Port-based, 802.1Q, MAC-based (broadcast domains) or disable VLANs on the Switch. Please note that the Switch can only support one mode at any given time. You can also access three additional screens, Configure MAC-Based Broadcast Domains, Configure 802.1Q VLANs, and Configure Port-based VLANs. Choose Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration on the System Configuration menu to access the following screen: Figure 6-31. VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration screen The information on the top of the screen is described as follows: ♦ Current VLAN Mode Displays which type of VLAN or broadcast domain is currently enabled on the Switch. ♦ 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. ♦ Configure 802.1Q VLANs Allows access to the 802.1Q VLAN configuration screens ♦ Configure GMRP Allows access to the Group Management Registration Protocol configuration screens. Configure MAC-Based Broadcast Domains To create MAC-based Broadcast Domain, simply create the Broadcast Domain itself in the Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domain screen, and then enter MAC addresses to the Broadcast Domain in the Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domain Members screen. Afterwards, restart the Switch and the MAC-based Broadcast Domain will be implemented. Please note that if the VLAN mode is set to MAC-based Broadcast Domains, then the Port Lock function is not supported in the Port Configuration screen and the Lock Address Table function located on the Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table screen is also not available.

Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains
If you are unsure about your knowledge of VLANs and MAC-based broadcast domains, please review the
VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains
section in the
“Switch Management Concepts”
chapter of this
manual before configuring the switch for VLANs.
The
VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration
menu displays the status of the current
VLAN mode and allows a user to restart the switch in a particular VLAN mode--either
Port-based
,
802.1Q,
MAC-based
(broadcast domains) or disable
VLANs on the Switch. Please note that the Switch can only
support one mode at any given time. You can also access three additional screens,
Configure MAC-Based
Broadcast Domains
,
Configure 802.1Q VLANs
, and
Configure Port-based VLANs
.
Choose
Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration
on the
System
Configuration
menu to access the following screen:
Figure 6-31.
VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration screen
The information on the top of the screen is described as follows:
♦
Current VLAN Mode
Displays which type of VLAN or broadcast domain is currently enabled on the
Switch.
♦
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.
♦
Configure 802.1Q VLANs
Allows access to the 802.1Q VLAN configuration screens
♦
Configure GMRP
Allows access to the Group Management Registration Protocol configuration screens.
Configure MAC-Based Broadcast Domains
To create MAC-based Broadcast Domain
,
simply create the Broadcast Domain itself in the
Add/Remove
MAC-based Broadcast Domain
screen, and then enter MAC addresses to the Broadcast Domain in the
Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domain Members
screen. Afterwards, restart the Switch and the
MAC-based Broadcast Domain will be implemented.
Please note that if the VLAN mode is set to MAC-based Broadcast Domains, then the Port Lock
function is
not supported in the
Port Configuration
screen and the Lock Address Table
function located on the
Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table
screen is also not available.
