VNET Switch Mode - Combined VNETs and Traditional Nets

VNET Switch Mode - Combined VNETs and Traditional Nets

NOTE: Use this configuration only when you expect little or no cross-VNET traffic.

This ilustration above shows:

A five-subnet network (Net 1, Net 2, Net 3, Net 4, and Net 5) configured as one four-segment VNET (VNET 1) on Card 1 and four traditional networks on Card 2.
A network using PeerMaster adapters.
NOTE: The same principles apply to Quad-B2 configurations, however, hubs are not rquired for 10Base2 operation.
Cross-subnet traffic, such as traffic from Net 1 to Net 2, must be forwarded by a router. The router can be internal to the server or an external stand-alone device.

This VNET may represent a large department while the traditional networks may represent small workgroups. You can configure the router to restrict traffic between departments.
