xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Super VLAN This section is used to create a super VLAN. The specified VLAN must be an 802.1Q VLAN. If the specified VLAN does not exist, the operation will not be successful. NOTE: 1. If a user specifies the super VLAN name, the VLAN must be an existing 802.1Q VLAN. 2. L3 route protocols, VRRP, multicast protocols, and IPV6 protocols cannot run on a super VLAN interface. A super VLAN is used to aggregate multiple sub VLANs in the same IP subnet. A sub-VLAN is a L2 separate broadcast domain. The super VLAN cannot have any physical member ports; hosts reside on sub VLANs. Once an IP interface is bound to a super VLAN, the proxy ARP will enable automatically on the interface for communication between its sub VLANs. If an IP interface is bound to a super VLAN, it cannot bind to other VLANs. A super VLAN cannot be a sub VLAN of other super VLANs. Super VLAN Settings This window is used to configure a super VLAN.
