Ports are grouped into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN. Frames received in one VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN, and IP Multicast frames and unknown unicast frames are flooded only to ports in the same VLAN.

Important terms used with the 802.1Q tagging feature are: 304376-B Rev 00 • VLAN Identifier (VID) --- the 12-bit portion of the VLAN tag in the frame header that identifies an explicit VLAN. • Port VLAN Identifier (PVID) --- a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific VLAN.

The current version of software assigns all VLANs to the same FID. This is referred to as Shared VLAN Learning in the IEEE 802.1Q specification.

When connecting multiple switches, it is possible to connect users of one VLAN with users of that same VLAN in another switch. However, the configuration guidelines depend on whether both switches support 802.1Q tagging. With 802.
PAGE 48
kombk.book Page 24 Thursday, February 18, 1999 10:59 AM Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Because there is only one link between the two switches, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) treats this configuration as any other switch-to-switch connection. For this configuration to work properly, both switches must support the 802.1Q tagging protocol. VLANS Spanning Multiple Untagged Switches Figure 1-15 shows VLANs spanning multiple untagged switches.

kombk.book Page 25 Thursday, February 18, 1999 10:59 AM BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switches To connect multiple VLANs across switches with redundant links, the STP must be disabled on all participating switch ports. Figure 1-16 shows possible consequences of enabling the STP when using VLANs between untagged (non-802.1Q tagged) switches.

kombk.book Page 26 Thursday, February 18, 1999 10:59 AM Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Shared Servers BayStack 350 switches allow 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 Figure 1-17. In this example, clients on different broadcast domains share resources.

BayStack 350 switches can be configured with up to six MultiLink trunks.

kombk.book Page 44 Thursday, February 18, 1999 10:59 AM Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch Each of the trunks shown in Figure 1-31 can be configured with up to four switch ports to provide up to 800 Mb/s aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplex mode. As shown in this example, when traffic between switch-to-switch connections approaches single port bandwidth limitations, creating a MultiLink trunk can supply the additional bandwidth required to improve the performance.

Trunk members (the ports making up each trunk) do not have to be consecutive switch ports; they can be selected randomly, as shown by T5. With spanning tree enabled, one of the trunks (T2 or T3) acts as a redundant (backup) trunk to switch S2.

For example, Figure 1-39 shows a four port trunk (T1) with two port members operating at 100 Mb/s and the other two port members operating at 10 Mb/s. Trunk T1 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 220 Mb/s. The Path Cost for T1 is 4 (Path Cost = 1000/LAN speed, in Mb/s).

After power is applied to the switch, the Pwr (Power) LED turns on within five seconds. 2. The switch initiates a self-test, during which the port LEDs display various patterns to indicate the progress of the self-test. 3.

Corrective Actions (continued) Symptom Probable cause Corrective action The Status LED is off. A fatal error was detected by the self-test. Cycle the power to the switch (disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord). If the problem persists, replace the switch. The Status LED is blinking. A nonfatal error occurred during the self-test.
