Page 33: 802.1Q Vlan Configuration
Figure 3-25. Port Based VLAN Configuration Menu 3.8. 802.1Q VLAN Configuration When configuring the IEEE802.1Q VLAN, there are slightly different options available when the port is configured on the console screen or the web browser. A port on a VLAN can be in one of three different states. Normal where the port is not mapped to a specific VLAN but can become a member through Dynamic VLAN registration. - Page 34 Once configured there are 3 possible states of the ports that show in the management menus. S: shows a static registration of the port and GVRP is not running D: the port has been registered to the specific VLAN by GVRP C: the port has been registered to the specific VLAN by GVRP and it was also set to that VLAN by a network administrator : A blank indicates that the port is not a member of the VLAN.
- Page 35 Figure 3-27. Static VLAN Port Configuration Menu ( ) – Port is not set as static (fixed) member of the VLAN but it can become a member through Dynamic VLAN Registration. Dynamic VLANs occur when GVRP sets them. Unless GVRP is running, no registration of dynamic VLANs can take place.
- Page 36 Dynamic VLAN Registration. GVRP enables the switch to dynamically create 802.1Q compliant VLANs on links with other devices running GVRP. This enables the switch to automatically create VLAN links between other GVRP aware devices. GVRP reduces the chances for errors in VLAN configuration by automatically providing VLAN ID consistently across the network.
- Page 37 This screen allows you to only view the settings made in Switch Device Configuration menu. It shows that the switch is set to MTU/MDU VLAN mode with one uplink. If 2 uplinks are configured, ports 1 through 12 map to port 25 and ports 13 through 24 map to port 26.

For small network where rapid growth can be expected in the near future, this switch is an ideal solution supporting backbone connectivity. The switch can be used as a standalone switch for a group of heavy traffic users. Switching is brought to the desktop either through a single end-station per switch port or through a multi-port switch. -
Page 73: Departmental Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. The MIL-S3580 used as a segment switch can alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect to high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth. -
Page 74: High Performance Switched Workgroup
High Performance Switched Workgroup This switch is also a good solution for connecting two workgroups, supporting the throughput, for example, of 800Mbps. This application is useful for power groups that need high bandwidth. - Page 75 The switch can provide the same bandwidth of FDDI and ATM at much lower costs. In addition, all current adapters and network devices can still be used. The switching cross-domain connection is better than bridge and router because users can retain LAN structure in which any node can freely communicate with any other node.
- Page 76 Figure 5-4: VLAN Workgroup Application Shared Server The MIL-S3580’s compliance to the IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN standard allows ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in the following figure.
- Page 77 In this example, stations on different VLANs share resources. As a result, VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 can access VLAN 3 for printing. The broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN3 can be seen by all VLAN port members of VLAN3.
