4.10 How to Use the UTN Server in VLAN environ-
ments (only myUTN-80 and later)
The UTN server supports the use of VLAN (Virtual Local Area Net-
works). It is useful to divide a physical network into VLANs for per-
formance and security reasons.
If a VLAN spans multiple switches, you can use so-called VLAN
trunks (VLT). A VLT is used to forward data from different VLANs via
a single connection. Both individual ports and bundled ports can be
used.
The UTN server supports the forwarding of VLAN data via its USB
ports. To do this, the VLANs must be known to the UTN server. After
this, the USB ports used for the forwarding of the data must be
linked to the specified VLANs.
Benefits and
Purpose
The VLANs can be used to control the access to dongle-protected
software (myUTN-80, myUTN-800) or USB devices (myUTN-250).
This way, a specified group of network participants can be provided
with a certain amount of dongle-protected software licenses or USB
devices.

Example
6 engineers have access to 3
dongle-protected CAD software
licenses.
3 accountants have access to
one dongle-protected account-
ing software.
The access by a participant to
software that is not intended for
this participant is excluded.
Note: A USB port can be con-
nected with only one participant
at a time.
