Features Port and Protocol VLANs The X-Pedition supports the following types of Virtual LANs (VLANs): Port-based VLANs – A port-based VLAN is a set of ports that comprises a Layer-2 broadcast domain. The X-Pedition confines MAC-layer broadcasts to the ports in the VLAN on which the broadcast originates. X-Pedition ports outside the VLAN do not receive the broadcast. Protocol-based VLANs – A protocol-based VLAN is a named set of ports that comprises an IP or IPX broadcast domain. The X-Pe

Features Layer-4 flows – The X-Pedition can store Layer-4 flows on each line card. A Layer-4 flow consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX). You can therefore manage and control individual flows between hosts on an individual application basis. A single host can have many individual Layer-4 entries in the X-Pedition. For example, an IP host
