OUTING
VLANs can significantly enhance network performance and security. However, if
you use conventional routers to interconnect VLANs, you can lose most of your
performance advantage. This Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a routing switch that
provides wire-speed routing, which allows you to eliminate your conventional IP
routers, except for a router to handle non-IP protocols and a gateway router
linked to the WAN. Just assign an IP address to any VLANs that need to
communicate. The switch will continue to segregate Layer 2 traffic based on
VLANs, but will now provide inter-VLAN connections for IP applications. The
switches will perform IP routing for specified VLAN groups, a directly connected
subnetwork, a remote IP subnetwork or host address, a subnetwork broadcast
address, or an IP multicast address.

When connecting to a switch that does not support IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN tags, use untagged ports.
