VLANs function at a layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a layer 3 router
working a protocol level is needed to allows traffic flow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers
identify segments and coordinate with VLANs. VLANs are broadcast and multicast domain.
Broadcast and multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in which the traffic is generated.
The default VLANs are:
IP VLAN.
IPX Raw VLAN.
IPX ET (ETH II) VLAN.
IPX LLC VLAN.
IPX SNAP VLAN.
Note:
IP and IPX VLANs are automatically assigned a MAC address.
SNA, AppleTalk, NetBios.
Other VLANs – The "Other" VLAN is a "super-VLAN" that includes all
protocols for which VLANs have not been defined. However, super-VLAN does
not include IP or IPX. "Other" can be used to quickly configure the device as a full
bridge.
The VLAN menu has the following menu options:
VLAN Parameters
VLAN Tables Per Port
or
VLAN Table Per Port and Protocol.
ConfigMaster supports and automatically recognizes if the device is running VLAN per port or
VLAN per port and protocol.
