Using the BayStack 420 10/100/1000 Switch
Shared servers
BayStack 420 switches allow ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared
resources, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also
possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in
.
In this example, clients on different broadcast domains share resources. The
broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN 3 can be seen by all VLAN port
members of VLAN 3.
Figure 20 Multiple VLANs sharing resources
In the above configuration, all of the switch ports are set to participate as VLAN
port members. This arrangement allows the switch to establish the appropriate
broadcast domains within the switch (
