Configure Mac-Based Broadcast Domains - D-Link DES-3624i User Manual

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 à
Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains):
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.
SNMP Vlan If IEEE 802.1Q VLANs is selected, you must also enter a SNMP VLAN ID number in this field. This
is a special VLAN that you designate for SNMP management packets. Make sure the Switch port that the
management station is connected to has this PVID number and is a static member of this VLAN.

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.
