Workgroup Conﬁguration

You can both view existing workgroups and conﬁgure new workgroups from this window. The Workgroup Table at the top of the window lists each existing workgroup along with its conﬁguration information. The lower section of this window allows you to set-up the parameters of your workgroup, including Name, Type, and IP or IPX network identiﬁer and contains a Port Selection box in which you can choose the ports that will be included in the workgroup. The only ﬁelds that are not user-conﬁgurable are the Index and Total ﬁelds. These are described below:

Index

A unique number assigned to identify each workgroup in the table.

Total

Displays the total number of workgroups you have conﬁgured on your device; this is displayed above the Workgroup Table.

NOTE

You can conﬁgure up to 100 workgroups. Note that for the ATX, the workgroups will be stored in the same space reserved for port ﬁlters; therefore the number of workgroups you have conﬁgured will affect the number of port ﬁlters you can set.

Conﬁguring a Workgroup

To conﬁgure a workgroup from the Workgroup Conﬁguration window:

1.Type a name in the Name ﬁeld in the middle portion of this window. The name can be 1-16 alphanumeric characters. You will use the name to identify the workgroup.

2.Choose the Type of workgroup you would like to create. This determines which broadcast packet frame type you want to restrict to the member ports of this workgroup. The following are your possibilities:

•IP — the broadcast packet is forwarded through the workgroup member ports only when it is an IP frame.

•IPX — the broadcast/multicast packet is forwarded through the workgroup ports only when it is an IPX frame.

•All — all broadcast or multicast packets, regardless of packet type, will be forwarded through all the ports in the workgroup.

a.If you choose IP as your workgroup type, you must enter the network IP address identifying the subnetwork which encompasses the member ports (i.e., containing the network and subnetwork identiﬁers for hosts on that subnet); optionally, you can enter the IP Mask if you have a complex subnetting scheme (i.e., one for which the default standard IP address class mask is not sufﬁcient).
