Figure 5-6. Example of a configuration of VLAN groups
On the Figure5-6, VLAN 2 includes port 3,4,5,6, VLAN 3 includes ports
7,8,9, and VLAN1 include ports 1,2,10-17. The switch is divided to 3
VLAN groups. In this configuration none of the VLANs can communicate
with each other. For example, Port 7 cannot communicate with any
device on port 3.
Trunk Setup
Trunking of ports allows higher bandwidth by aggregating several ports to
act as one port. It can be cost-effective to trunk multiple lower speed links
rather than buy a device that has a gigabit port. Two ports trunked
together can give you a pipe or connection of up to 400Mbps between
two switches. The maximum number of port that can be trunks is six,
giving a pipe of 1200Mbps. It is possible to have two different sets of
ports trunked. The ports on the MIL-S1600 can be trunked with ports on
MiLAN switches MIL-S1600, MIL-SM801 or MIL-SM800. Trunking is not
supported with any other switches.
Before you start to set up trunking, you must make sure that all trunk
ports in one trunked group are on the same VLAN. On the main menu
screen, you choose the third item “ Trunk “ to setup Trunking. The screen
appears with two sets of possible Trunks, Trunk 1 and Trunk 2.
