Allowing Inter-VLAN Communication
Individual switch ports may be given the status of “Global Port”. Global ports can
communicate with all VLANs. This feature has many uses:
• Executives or administrators in a company can give their switch ports Global
port status so they can access all VLANs.
• A server attached to a Global port can serve many VLANs.
• Indirect communication between VLANs can be arranged. Via a server attached
to the Global port, packets (mail, for example) may be transferred to any VLAN.
To give the status of Global Port to a switch port:
1
From the Chassis View, open the Configuration menu and select Virtual LANs.
2 Arrange the windows so you can see the Virtual LANs for Device dialog box
and the Chassis View at the same time.
3 From the Virtual LANs list, select Global (# 255).
4 In the Chassis View, select the switch port you want to set to Global Port status
(use CTRL-click to select multiple switch ports).
5 Click Add Zoom Sel. The selected switch parts are assigned to Global and
automatically deleted from any other VLAN.
