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

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
