3-20 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 Configuring VLANs Use the VLAN menu to create LAN groups and assign switch ports to any of up to 16 groups. In conventional networks with routers, broadcast traf fic is split up into separate domains. Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains.
Management Guide 3-21 VLAN Current T able This screen shows the current port members of each VLAN and whether or not the port supports VLAN tagging. Port s assigned to a large VLAN group that crosses several switches should use VLAN tagging.
3-22 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 VLAN St atic List Use this screen to create or remove VLAN groups. Parameter Description Current Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this system. Up to 16 VLAN groups can be defined. T o allow this switch to participate in external VLAN groups, you must use the VLAN ID for the concerned external groups.
Management Guide 3-23 Use the screens shown below to assign ports to the specified VLAN group as an IEEE 802.1Q tagged port. Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.
3-24 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 VLAN Port Configuration Use this screen to configure port-specific settings for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN features. Parameter Description PVID The VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on this port. Use the PVID to assign ports to the same untagged VLAN.
Management Guide 3-25 IGMP Multicast Filtering Multicasting is used to support real-time applications such as video conferencing or streaming audio. A multicast server does not have to establish a separate connection with each client.
3-26 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 IP Multicast Registration T able Use the IP Multicast Registration T able to display all the multicast groups active on this switch, including multicast IP addresses and the corresponding VLAN ID. Parameter Description VLAN ID VLAN ID assigned to this multicast group.

4-2 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 Virtual LANs Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains, which can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle a lot of IPX or NetBeui traffic.
Management Guide 4-3 VLAN Classification When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways: • If the frame is untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the PVID of the receiving port).
4-4 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 Forwarding T raffic with Unknown VLAN T ags Up to 2048 VLANs are supported by the IEEE 802.1Q protocol, but this switch only supports 16 VLANs.
Management Guide 4-5 The purpose of IP multicast filtering is to optimize a switched network’ s performance, so multicast packet s will only be forwarded to those ports containing multicast group hosts or multicast routers/switches instead of flooding to all ports in the subnet (VLAN).
4-6 CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508 St atistics : Includes all the tools needed to monitor your network for common errors and overall traffic rates. Information is provided on bandwid th utilization, peak utilization, packet types, errors and collisions, as well as the distribution of packet sizes.
