Bridging between VLANS

[Dennis Pike]

We are trying to test a computer product, which broadcasts over the corporate LAN. This is the normal intent of the product. However to set up 5 or 6 of these, I have been asked to localize the broadcasts via the use of segments / routers. I was thinking I could simply make VLANS for each device (and associated PC???s) on our 5308XL. But of course that makes separate segments, which no longer communicate, back to the DEFAULT_VLAN. So now I need to get all the VLANS communicating back to the DEFAULT_VLAN somehow. Then I can apply ACL's (Access Control Lists) per VLAN, which will block the broadcast port on each segment (in this case it is port 55555). How do I bridge these smaller VLANS back to the DEFAULT_VLAN? Do I need to buy routers for each one? Can the Procurve 5308XL do this somehow? Thanks for any help.

VLANs are intended are separate broadcast domains, and broadcast traffic can't be routed between different networks.... try to use IGMP traffic (multicast) instead

i think that you can't do this.....
