After you have set the age-out timer and either enabled or disabled IGMP status for the desired VLAN, press
APPLY to let the changes take effect.
Configure VLAN
The VLAN Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN mode and allows a user to restart
the Switch in IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, Port-based, or MAC-based Broadcast Domains mode, or not to use a
selection by choosing None. Please note that the Switch can only support one mode at any given time. Also,
each time the mode is changed, the Switch must be rebooted before the new mode is activated.
If you have selected MAC-based Broadcast Domains and then rebooted the Switch, Configure MAC-based
Broadcast Domains will appear at the bottom of the VLAN Configuration screen (System
Configuration ! Configure VLANs):
The information on the top of the screen is described as follows:
Current VLAN Mode Displays what mode, if any, is currently enabled on the Switch.
Restart VLAN Mode Choose from four settings for this mode: MAC-based Broadcast Domains, IEEE
802.1Q VLANs, Port-based, or None. After being restarted, the Switch will implement the setting you have
chosen.
Configure MAC-based Broadcast Domains
To create MAC-based broadcast domains, simply create the broadcast domain itself in the Add/Remove
MAC-based Broadcast Domains screen, and then enter MAC addresses to the broadcast domain in the
Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domain Members screen. Afterwards, restart the Switch and the
broadcast domain will be implemented.
Please note that if the mode is set to MAC-based Broadcast Domains, then the Port Lock function is not
supported in the Port Configuration screen and the Lock Address Table function located on the Configure
Filtering and Forwarding Table screen is not available.
Choose Configure MAC-based Broadcast Domains from the bottom of the VLAN Configuration screen
above to access the MAC-Based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu:
