lists the individual Dell PowerConnect switches and the metro features they support.

Topology groups
A topology group is a named set of VLANs that share a Layer 2 topology. Topology groups simplify
configuration and enhance scalability of Layer 2 protocols by allowing you to run a single instance
of a Layer 2 protocol on multiple VLANs.
You can use topology groups with the following Layer 2 protocols:
•
STP
•
MRP
•
VSRP
•
802.1W
Topology groups simplify Layer 2 configuration and provide scalability by enabling you to use the
same instance of a Layer 2 protocol for multiple VLANs. For example, if a Dell PowerConnect device
is deployed in a Metro network and provides forwarding for two MRP rings that each contain 128
VLANs, you can configure a topology group for each ring. If a link failure in a ring causes a topology
change, the change is applied to all the VLANs in the ring topology group. Without topology groups,
you would need to configure a separate ring for each VLAN.
