Re: Broadcast Vlan

There are two parts to how this packet handling works once the packet is on the network from your software.

 

1-the generated broadcast packet flooding to all your VLANs

The bridge domain solves this problem.  When you put multiple vlans or ports into a bridge domain they become one broadcast domain.  A broadcast packet will be flooded to all members in the bridge domain.

 

The normal usage of a bridge domain is when you have multiple vlans that arrive from different parts of the network that are tagged with different vlan-id or remote interfaces but really are devices in the same ip address subnet.  So we join these disparate vlans together in a bridge domain.

 

2-The device itself seeing that packet as a broadcast packet for itself

The device only recogonizes as a broadcast the packet for the actual subnet that the device has configured as an ip address on the device.  So even it sees a broadcast packet fro anohter subnet it will not respond to this packet.
