S50multivlan - Script which sets up multiple untagged VLANs. The first VLAN
includes the first ten 10/100/1000 ports, the next contains the last ten 10/100/1000
ports, the third VLAN contains two 10/100/1000 ports, the last VLAN contains the
last two 10/100/1000 ports. Layer 3 switching is enabled.

S55gatedRip1 - Script which is used with a Layer 3 switch and calls the GateD
daemon to enable RIP 1 routing protocol.

S55gatedRip2 - Script which is used with a Layer 3 switch and calls the GateD
daemon to enable RIP 2 routing protocol.

S55gatedOspf

- Script which is used with a Layer 3 switch and calls the GateD

daemon to enable OSPF routing protocol.

Overview of OpenArchitect VLAN Interfaces

When you initially boot up the switch, one virtual host port is automatically created by
OpenArchitect to enable interaction between the software and hardware. This initial host port,
called ZNYX Host Port (zhp), is a network interface that provides communication between all
24 in-band ports. Therefore, linking to any port on the switch enables you to connect with
OpenArchitect.

A zhp device is associated with one Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). A virtual local area
network (VLAN) is a logical mapping of workstations and network devices on some basis other
than geographic location (for example, by department, type of user, or primary application). The
primary purpose of a VLAN is to isolate traffic and enable communication to flow more
efficiently within groups of mutual interest. VLANs reduce the time it takes to implement
workstation and network moves, adds and changes. The switch is used to bridge from one VLAN
to another. Figure 7.1 is an illustration of multiple VLANs
