Workgroup Configuration
Workgroups explained; adding and deleting workgroups from this window
The FN100's Virtual Workgroups window allows you to restrict multicast traffic
from being propagated through every bridge port on your device. This optimizes
bandwidth by limiting the subnet broadcast traffic to only those ports that require
the traffic. You define a virtual work group by specifying a subset of device ports
and the type(s) of packets (multicast, unicast, or both) that are to be forwarded by
those ports. Each port can belong to more than one work group. In all, you can
create up to 100 virtual work groups per switch.
To access the Virtual Workgroups window from the FN100 Chassis View:
1. Click to display the Device menu.
2. Drag down to Workgroups..., and release. The Virtual Workgroups window,
Figure 5-1
will appear.
