  • Page 16: Virtual Lan

    Virtual LAN The switch provides support for setting up tagged Virtual LANs. A port may belong to any number of Virtual LANs. The VLAN membership of a station is determined by the VLAN(s) that have been defined for the port to which the station is connected. If a station should move from one port to another, it loses its current VLAN membership and inherits that of the new port it is connected to.

  • Page 17: N-Ring

    Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol that provides a way for a computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent ‘routers’. In this case N-Tron 708 series switches provide router-like functionality. Multicasting allows one computer to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in receiving the originating computer's content.

Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 708 will apply the static multicast address to the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems.

Instead of physically reconnecting a device to a different LAN, network administrators can accomplish this task by configuring a VLAN compliant switch to create logical network segments. Tagged VLAN allows switch segmentation to span across multiple managed switches.
