SMC Networks 1000BASE-X manual Vlan Static Table

CONFIGURING VIRTUAL LANS

VLAN Static Table

Use this screen to modify the settings for an existing VLAN. You can add/ delete port members for a VLAN from any unit in the stack. (Note that VLAN 1 is fixed as an untagged VLAN containing all ports in the stack, and cannot be modified via this screen.)

The switch supports an overlapping VLAN feature that allows any port to be configured as a member of multiple VLANs. This enables inter-switch links to carry traffic from VLANs that cross the network. Also, shared resources, such as servers, can be connected to a port that is configured as a tagged member of multiple VLANs.

Note: Overlapping VLANs on a port connected to another device requires that device, switch or server, including network card and operating system, to be VLAN tag aware.
