Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains

If you are unsure about your knowledge of VLANs and broadcast domains, please review the VLANs and Broadcast

Domains

section in the “Switch Management Concepts” chapter of this manual before configuring the switch.

The VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN

mode and allows a user to restart the Switch in a particular VLAN mode – Port-Based VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs,

or MAC-based Broadcast Domains or to choose None. There are four different versions of the VLANs & MAC-

based Broadcast Domains Configuration

menu, depending on which of the options you select under the Restart

Mode (three of the four are displayed and explained below—the menu for None is omitted as it does not contain additional

menu items at the bottom of the screen). Please note that the Switch can only support a single type of mode at any given

time.

Domains:
