Logical LAN Implementation
The Logical LAN feature is new to IP Office (2.0+ software). Logical LAN feature allows
a second LAN interface to operate together with the primary System LAN interface
(LAN 1). The Logical LAN feature allows a second LAN interface to operate together
with the primary System LAN interface (LAN1). Once a Logical LAN interface is created
and configured it is then available as an IP route destination. The table below
summaries the terms used to describe the Logical LAN feature.
Term Description
Physical LAN
For a single LAN system (IP403 and IP406) this is the actual
Ethernet interface and consists of both the Logical LAN (see below)
and the System LAN (see below).
Logical LAN
The Logical LAN has the same collision domain as the System LAN
but uses a different MAC address and operates on a different subnet.
The Logical interface can be regarded as a secondary or a sub-
interface to the primary System LAN (LAN1) interface – see below.
The Logical LAN provide the function of the Public or External
Interface (see page 17).
System LAN
The System LAN has the same collision domain as the Logical but
uses a different MAC address and operates on a different subnet.
When a Logical LAN is created (see above) the System LAN
becomes active and is referred to as LAN1.The System LAN
performs the function of an internal LAN.
Single LAN systems IP Office systems that have a single LAN interface (IP403 and
IP406).
Dual LAN systems
IP Office systems that have dual Ethernet interfaces (Small Office
Edition and IP412)
