Page 27: Introduction
HAPTER NTRODUCTION This switch provides a broad range of features for Layer 2 switching. It includes a management agent that allows you to configure the features listed in this manual. The default configuration can be used for most of the features provided by this switch.
Page 28: Description Of Software Features
NTRODUCTION Table 1-1. Key Features (Continued) Feature Description Port Trunking Supports up to 25 trunks using either static or dynamic trunking (LACP) Broadcast Storm Supported Control Static Address Up to 8K MAC addresses in the forwarding table IEEE 802.1D Supports dynamic data switching and addresses learning Bridge Store-and-Forward Supported to ensure wire-speed switching while eliminating...
Page 29 ESCRIPTION OF OFTWARE EATURES Configuration Backup and Restore – You can save the current configuration settings to a file on a TFTP server, and later download this file to restore the switch configuration settings. Authentication – This switch authenticates management access via the console port, Telnet or web browser.
Page 30 NTRODUCTION Rate Limiting – This feature controls the maximum rate for traffic received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into the network. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped. Port Mirroring –...
Page 31 ESCRIPTION OF OFTWARE EATURES Store-and-Forward Switching – The switch copies each frame into its memory before forwarding them to another port. This ensures that all frames are a standard Ethernet size and have been verified for accuracy with the cyclic redundancy check (CRC). This prevents bad frames from entering the network and wasting bandwidth.
Page 32 NTRODUCTION Virtual LANs – The switch supports up to 255 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. The switch supports tagged VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard. Members of VLAN groups can be dynamically learned via GVRP, or ports can be manually assigned to a specific set of VLANs.
Page 33: System Defaults
YSTEM EFAULTS Multicast Filtering – Multicast filtering is a system where network devices forward multicast traffic only to the ports that are registered with the multicast group. Without mulicast filtering the data packet will be broadcast to all endstations within a LAN or VLAN. The purpose is to keep the non-multicast group members from receiving unsolicited packets and to prevent a possible reduction in network performance.

Page 161 PANNING LGORITHM ONFIGURATION STA uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device (STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root of the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging device (except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that device to the root device.
Page 162: Displaying Global Settings
ONFIGURING THE WITCH When using STP or RSTP, it may be difficult to maintain a stable path between all VLAN members. Frequent changes in the tree structure can easily isolate some of the group members.

Page 177: Vlan Configuration
VLAN C ONFIGURATION VLAN Configuration Overview In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each subnet into separate domains. This switch provides a similar service at Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains.
Page 178: Assigning Ports To Vlans
ONFIGURING THE WITCH • Priority tagging Assigning Ports to VLANs Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs.
Page 179 VLAN C ONFIGURATION Port Overlapping – Port overlapping can be used to allow access to commonly shared network resources among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers. Note that if you implement VLANs which do not overlap, but still need to communicate, you can connect them by enabled routing on this switch.

PANNING OMMANDS forwarding should only be enabled for ports connected to a LAN segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or for an end-node device.) • This command is the same as spanning-tree edge-port, and is only included for backward compatibility with earlier products.
Page 402: Spanning-Tree Protocol-Migration
OMMAND NTERFACE • When automatic detection is selected, the switch derives the link type from the duplex mode. A full-duplex interface is considered a point-to-point link, while a half-duplex interface is assumed to be on a shared link. • RSTP only works on point-to-point links between two bridges. If you designate a port as a shared link, RSTP is forbidden.

Page 467: Glossary
LOSSARY Access Control List (ACL) ACLs can limit network traffic and restrict access to certain users or devices by checking each packet for certain IP or MAC (i.e., Layer 2) information. Boot Protocol (BOOTP) BOOTP used to provide bootup information for network devices, including IP address information, the address of the TFTP server that contains the devices system files, and the name of the boot file.
Page 468 LOSSARY Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) EAPOL is a client authentication protocol used by this switch to verify the network access rights for any device that is plugged into the switch.
Page 469 LOSSARY IEEE 802.1D Specifies a general method for the operation of MAC bridges, including the Spanning Tree Protocol. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging—Defines Ethernet frame tags which carry VLAN information. It allows switches to assign endstations to different virtual LANs, and defines a standard way for VLANs to communicate across switched networks.
Page 470: Ip Multicast Filtering
LOSSARY IGMP Snooping Listening to IGMP Query and IGMP Report packets transferred between IP Multicast Routers and IP Multicast host groups to identify IP Multicast group members. IGMP Query On each subnetwork, one IGMP-capable device will act as the querier — that is, the device that asks all hosts to report on the IP multicast groups they wish to join or to which they already belong.
Page 471: Multicast Switching
LOSSARY Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) Allows ports to automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on another device. Management Information Base (MIB) An acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of database objects that contains information about a specific device. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm An algorithm that is used to create digital signatures.
Page 472: Port Mirroring
LOSSARY Port Mirroring A method whereby data on a target port is mirrored to a monitor port for troubleshooting with a logic analyzer or RMON probe. This allows data on the target port to be studied unobstructively. Port Trunk Defines a network link aggregation and trunking method which specifies how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several lower-speed physical links.
Page 473 LOSSARY Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) A standard host-to-host mail transport protocol that operates over TCP, port 25. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) The application protocol in the Internet suite of protocols which offers network management services. Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates SNTP from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
Page 474 LOSSARY Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) provides a datagram mode for packet-switched communications. It uses IP as the underlying transport mechanism to provide access to IP-like services. UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that may be discarded before reaching their targets.
