Using the Console Interface

Choose Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains on the System Configuration menu to

access the VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration screen:

Figure 6-28. VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration screen

The information on the top of the screen is described as follows:

Current Mode Displays what mode, if any, is currently enabled on the Switch.

Restart Mode Choose from three settings for this mode: MAC-Based Broadcast Domains, IEEE 802.1Q
VLANs,
or NONE. After being restarted, the Switch will implement the setting you have chosen.

SNMP Vlan If the IEEE 802.1Q VLANs mode is selected, you must also enter a SNMP VLAN ID number

in this field. This is a special VLAN that you designate for SNMP management packets. Make sure the
Switch port that the management station is connected to has this PVID number and is a static member of
this VLAN.

Configure MAC-Based Broadcast Domains

To create MAC-based broadcast domains, simply create the broadcast domain itself in the Add/Remove
MAC-based Broadcast Domains
screen, and then enter MAC addresses to the broadcast domain in the
Add/Remove MAC-based Broadcast Domain Members screen. Afterwards, restart the Switch and the

broadcast domain will be implemented.
