  • Switcher for spanning subnetworks
    Patent number: 6195356
    Abstract: An apparatus and method that allows a layer 2 “spanning” switch to switch data packets between subnets based upon layer 3 packet addresses. The “spanning” switch on a subnet can offer itself as a destination for data packets crossing to another subnet. Through a configuration process, a layer 2 switch is taught how to forward data packets between two stations on different subnets. The switch can then teach the two stations how to communicate via the layer 2 switch. The layer 2 switch is allocated a “virtual” IP address on each subnet for each station that wants to be involved in cross-subnet communications.
