Frame Flooding in AutoTracker VLANs
Flooding occurs when a frame is received addressed to a device that is unknown to the
switch or broadcast or multicast frames are received addressed to multiple users. In a typical
bridged environment, the frame would be forwarded out all ports. However, this is not true
with
VLAN
s as
VLAN
s segment the network into smaller broadcast domains. In this environ-
ment, flooding occurs as follows:
Unicast Traffic
• If the destination address of the frame is unknown buts its source address is known and
the source device is a member of one or more
VLANs
, the frame is flooded out all ports of
all
VLANs
in which the source device is a member. Please note the following:
–
If the source device is a member of multiple
VLANs
, some leakage may occur during
the flooding process. Leakage may occur only among
VLANs
in the same Group—
frames do not leak between Groups.
–
If the source device is a member of multiple
VLANs
and some or all of those
VLANs
share the same physical port, only one copy of the frame is forwarded out that port.
–
If the source device is a member of multiple
VLANs
that use trunking, only one copy
of the frame is sent to each trunk port.
• If both the source and destination addresses of the frame are unknown, the frame is
forwarded to the
MPX
for processing (to determine the
VLAN
or
VLANs
in which the origi-
nating device should be a member)
and
the frame is flooded out all ports of all
VLANs
in
which the source port is a member.
Broadcast and Multicast Traffic
Frames are forwarded out all ports that are members of the same
VLAN
s as the source
MAC
address. If the source
MAC
address is unknown, it is forwarded out all ports that have
VLAN
s
active on the source ports.
Routing Between AutoTracker VLANs
Devices that do not share membership in a common
VLAN
must use routers to communicate
with one another. You can configure a virtual router port that is capable of
IP
and/or
IPX
routing for each
VLAN
. By enabling a router port on a
VLAN
, you are creating a static route
entry within the switch to that
VLAN
. If this router port is not configured for a
VLAN
, then that
VLAN
will not be able to communicate with other
VLAN
s unless an external router is between
those
VLAN
s. You may configure up to 16 virtual router ports within a single Omni Switch/
Router. Each
VLAN
may contain only one router port.
Routing and the Default VLAN
. You can enable routing for the default
VLAN
when you initially
create a Group, or when you modify the Group. There are several issues about which you
should be aware when enabling routing on the Default
VLAN
. See
Application Example
