Hi David, That's interesting and helpful. Do you have a URL for technical details on the 3700?
I'm not familiar with vlans (I know what they are and I've read the IEEE specs on how they are implemented, but I don't have any experience with the nitty-gritty of actually using them.) Please correct me if I'm getting this all wrong... I'd configure the one on-chip port to have all 4 vlans. The on-chip port is connected to the uplink of the 4-port switch and delivers all traffic to it. The switch would then be configured to send each vlan in/out a separate port, in the process stripping out the vlan protocol overhead bits. That would seem to give 4 ports, not 5. But that's just a nit -- or it could be evidence of a basic misunderstanding on my part; correction are welcome. Have I got the rest of it right? Thanks!
