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. The
broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN 3 can be seen by all VLAN port
members of VLAN 3.
Figure 1-17. Multiple VLANs Sharing Resources
In order for the above configuration to operate as described, the ports have to be
set to participate as VLAN port members. When this is done, the switch
establishes the appropriate broadcast domains within the switch (see Figure 1-18
).
