Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User's Guide Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains The VLAN Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN mode and allows a user to restart the Switch in IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, Port-based, or MAC-based Broadcast Domains mode, or not to use a selection by choosing NONE. Please note that the Switch can only support one mode at any given time. Also, each time the mode is changed, the Switch must be rebooted before the new mode is activated. If you have selected MAC-based Broadcast Domains and then rebooted the Switch, Configure MAC-based Broadcast Domains will appear at the bottom of the VLAN Configuration screen (System Configuration Æ Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains): Figure 6-28. VLAN Configuration screen The information on the top of the screen is described as follows: ♦ Current VLAN Mode Displays what mode, if any, is currently enabled on the Switch. ♦ Restart VLAN Mode Choose from four settings for this mode: MAC-based Broadcast Domains, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, Port-based, or NONE. After being restarted, the Switch will implement the setting you have chosen. ♦ SNMP Vlan If IEEE 802.1Q VLANs is selected, you must also enter a SNMP VLAN ID number in this field. This is a special VLAN that you designate for SNMP management packets. Make sure the Switch port that the management station is connected to has this PVID number and is a static member of this VLAN. Configure MAC-based Broadcast Domains To create MAC-based broadcast domains, simply create the broadcast domain itself in the Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domains 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 broadcast domain will be implemented. 70 Using the Console Interface
