Planning a Switched Network
2-14
893-878-B
The maximum number of allowable virtual LANs in a single Model 58000
switch is equal to the total number of ports in the switch. For example, if the
Model 58000 switch is configured without any MDAs, the switch would have
16 ports and the number of virtual LANs allowed would be 16. With an MDA
installed on the switch, the total number of ports would be 18 and the number
of virtual LANs allowed would be 18.
A configuration of this type typically serves no purpose because a port, which
is the only port in its virtual LAN, cannot pass frames to any other port. To take
advantage of switching requires at least two ports in each virtual LAN.
The real power of the Model 58000 switch emerges when you interconnect
switches and implement multiple virtual LANs across multiple switched ports
(see
). The maximum number of virtual LANs allowed in a
community of Model 58000 switches is 64. However, implementing multiple
virtual LANs across multiple switches affects the total number of allowable
MAC addresses for a switch community.
CAUTION:
Implementing multiple virtual LANs across multiple switches
imposes restrictions on the maximum number of MAC addresses you can have
on your network.
