DES-3226 NWay Standalone Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
group, on a per-VLAN basis. There are two static multicast filter types to select from, Permanent and
DeleteOnReset.
To set a port’s multicast group membership status, highlight the first field of (E/F/-). Each port’s
multicast group membership can be set individually by highlighting the port’s entry using the arrow
keys, and then toggling among E, F, and – using the space bar.
• E (Egress Member) – Specifies the port as being a static member of the multicast group.
Egress Member Ports are ports that will be transmitting traffic for the multicast group.
• F (Forbidden Member) – Specifies the port as being forbidden from joining a VLAN
dynamically.
• – (Non-Member) – Specifies the port as not being a member of the multicast group, but the
port can become a member of the multicast group dynamically.
Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the changes current. Use Save Changes from the main
menu to enter the changes into NV-RAM.
Configure VLANs
The Switch reserves one VLAN, VID = 1, called the DEFAULT_VLAN for internal use. The factory default
setting assigns all ports on the Switch to the DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are configured, their
respective member ports are removed from the DEFAULT_VLAN. If the DEFAULT_VLAN is reconfigured,
all ports are again assigned to it. Ports that are not wanted as part of the DEFAULT_VLAN are removed
during the configuration.
Packets cannot cross VLANs. If a member of one VLAN wants to connect to another VLAN, it must be
through a router.
Note: The Switch’s default is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN named
DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are created, the member ports assigned to the new VLAN
will be removed from the default VLAN port member list.
Note: The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1. An IP interface called System in the IP interface entry
menu also has a VID = 1, and therefore corresponds to the DEFAULT_VLAN.
To create a new 802.1Q VLAN:
The VLAN menu adds an entry to edit the VLAN definitions and to configure the port settings for IEEE
802.1Q VLAN support. Highlight Configure VLANs from the Configuration menu and press Enter.
