"Independent VLAN“ subdivides the
forwarding database (see on page 94 “Filters
for MAC addresses“) virtually into one
independent forwarding database per VLAN.
The device cannot assign data packets with a
destination address in another VLAN, and so
floods it to all ports of the VLAN.
Application area: Setting up identical
networks that use the same MAC addresses.
"Shared VLAN“ uses the same forwarding
database for all VLANs (see on page 94
“Filters for MAC addresses“). The device
cannot assign data packets with a destination
address in another VLAN, and so only
forwards them to the destination port if the
receiving port is also a member of the VLAN
group of the destination port.
Application area: In the case of overlapping
groups, the device can distribute directly
across VLANs, as long as the ports involved
belong to a VLAN that can be reached.
Changes to the mode are only taken over
after a warm start (see on page 39 “Restart“)
is performed on the device, and the changes
are then displayed in the line below under
“Status”.
