This section describes the new features, software enhancements, and 
corrections implemented at this release.

The following new features have been added at this release.

Revision 8.2.3 offers support for protocol-based VLANs on the CoreBuilder 
6000 system. Protocol-based VLANs allow you to define VLANs based on the 
network protocol, including IP, IPX, AppleTalk, XNS, DECnet, X.25 Layer 3, 
SNA, Banyan VINES, and NetBIOS. 

This release allows you to overlap VLANs by supporting multiple protocols 
per port, multiple subnetworks per port, and the spanning of Layer 3 
networks across multiple ports. You can also use an external router to 
communicate between VLANs.

New menus have been added to the Administration Console menu so that 
you can administer protocol-based VLANs on the CoreBuilder 6000 system. 
These menus allow you to:

■

Display summary or detailed information on VLANs

■

Define or modify a VLAN definition

■

Delete a VLAN definition
