Asymmetric VLANs

Use Asymmetric VLANs to assign a unique PVID to each port on the Switch. This may be a more convenient way to assign VLANs if you want to give each client port its own separate VLAN. For multiple Switch installations, the uplink ports belong to VLAN 1 (PVID = 1).

Figure7- 29. Configure Asymmetric VLANs Menu

Select the stack order number of the Switch from the drop-down menu. To enable Asymmetric VLANs for the selected Switch, click on APPLY.

Multicasting Options

Multicasting functions can be customized for improve network performance using the menus available in the Multicasting folder.

Group Address Filtering

Figure7- 30. Group Address Filtering Menu

The Group Address Filter is used to customize filtering and forwarding of multicast packets for the entire Switch. A multicast packet is “registered” if its source address is listed in the multicast table. To change the Group Address Filter Mode, select the desired setting from the Group Address Filter Mode: drop-down menu. The options are summarized below:

Filter All Unregistered	Filters all unregistered multicast packets.
Forward All	Forwards all multicast packets according to VLAN assignment.
Forward All Unregistered	Forwards all unregistered multicast packets.
