Interface on many VLANs

Nov 24, 2005 1 Replies

Hello.



Is it possible to have the following configuration on a switch ? (ethernet only, no IP)



computer 1 on port 1, VLAN 1 computer 2 on port 2, VLAN2



And computer 3, port 3



I'd like computer 3 to be able to talk with computers 1 and 2, but computers



1 and 2 can't see each other. So I put port 3 on VLAN 1 and 2.

For example : A frame coming from port 1 to port 3, but not on port 2 The answer frame coming from port 3 to port 1 but not on port 2.



A frame coming from port 2 to port 3, but not on port 1 The answer frame coming from port 3 to port 2 but not on port 1.



What do you think of that ?



I bought a 3COM switch (expensive) et that's not possible with it. So I'm wondering about the ability of doing that, and on which brand (I thought Cisco could do that).



If not possible with VLANs, maybe MAC address filtering ?



I precise I don't want IP nor 802.1Q.



Thanks for your answers.


Check out Private VLANs. You'll be able to setup what you want to do.
