The Switch supports 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). 802.1d STP will be familiar to most networking professionals. However since 802.1w RSTP has been recently introduced to D-Link managed Ethernet Switches, a brief introduction to the technology is provided below followed by a description of how to set up 802.1 d STP and 802.1w RSTP.
DGS-3312SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Port Transition States An essential difference between the two protocols is in the way ports transition to a forwarding state and the in the way this transition relates to the role of the port (forwarding or not forwarding) in the topology. RSTP combines the transition states disabled, blocking and listening used in 802.1d and creates a single state Discarding.

VLANs are based on layer 3 information, however this does not constitute a ‘routing’ function. The DGS-3312SR and associated DGS-3312SR series Switches allow an IP subnet to be configured for each 802.1Q VLAN that exists on the Switch. That is, a VLAN can be associated or attached to an IP subnet. This represents an improvement in performance since it bypasses any routing functions, packets transferred between subnets are reduced to a “hardware”...
VLANs must be configured on the Switch before they can be assigned IP subnets. Furthermore, the static VLAN configuration is specified on a per port basis. On the DGS-3312SR, a VLAN can consist of end-nodes – just like a traditional layer 2 Switch, but a VLAN can also consist of one or more Switches – each of which is connected to multiple end-nodes or network resources.
DGS-3312SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Figure 4- 27. 802.1Q Packet Forwarding 802.1Q VLAN Tags The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets inserted after the source MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 in the EtherType field. When a packet’s EtherType field is equal to 0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag.
