Shared Servers

BayStack 450 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 1-24

.

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 1-24.

Multiple VLANs Sharing Resources

In the above configuration, all of the switch ports are set to participate as VLAN
port members. This allows the switch to establish the appropriate broadcast
domains within the switch (see

Figure 1-25

).
