3.10 DEFINING AND DELETING WORKGROUPS
The FN100 allows you to define logical groups of associated hosts to
create workgroups that provide a more efficient flow of traffic across your
Ethernet network.
Workgroups offer you the ability to limit broadcasts to logical domains
within the network. Workgroup destinations are recognized by the FN100
and packets are routed directly to hosts within the workgroup, eliminating
the need to perform a general broadcast across each segment of the
network to find specific host addresses.
Use the LCM command,
workgroup, to create, modify, and delete
workgroups. The full syntax of the command is as follows:
workgroup <NAME <{delete | PORTS}>>
Use the workgroup command to display all of the workgroups defined by
the FN100.
FN100 > workgroup
Use the workgroup <NAME> command to display information about a
specific workgroup. For example:
FN100 > workgroup a
Use the workgroup <NAME> delete command to delete a workgroup. For
example:
FN100 > workgroup a delete
