<strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>Switching</strong> Theory of Operation<br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>Switching</strong><br />

Example<br />

Figure 3 shows a typical example of <strong>Ethernet</strong> switching. Port 24 is a member of both<br />

VLAN-1 and VLAN-2. Port 25 is a member of VLAN-1 and of VLAN-2. Because<br />

Station A and Station C are members of VLAN-1, they are able to transmit and<br />

receive MAC frames between each other, through the 3480 <strong>Ethernet</strong> Switch. Station<br />

B and Station D are members of VLAN-2, so they are able to transmit and receive<br />

MAC frames through the 3480 <strong>Ethernet</strong> Switch.<br />

Figure 3. Example of an <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>Switching</strong> Application<br />

Note<br />

Port 23 does not support switching, and in this example, port 27 is configured to<br />

support routing only. See <strong>Vanguard</strong> Applications Ware IP and LAN Feature<br />

Protocols <strong>Ethernet</strong> Basics Guide (Part No. T0109) for a detailed description of<br />

the Switch Capabilities Parameter.<br />

Note<br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> Bridging is not supported on the VN3480 platform. The <strong>Ethernet</strong><br />

Bridging feature is replaced with the <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>Switching</strong> feature that is described<br />

in this manual.<br />
