Page 36 VLAN. Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs enables VLANs to work with legacy switches that do not recognize VLAN tags in packet Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E...
Page 37 “Tagging and untagging” on page 29. For more information about port states, see “IEEE 802.1D STP port states” on page 259 and “IEEE 802.1w STP port states” on page 260. Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E...
Page 38 The EtherType and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original EtherType/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now longer than it was originally, the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) must be recalculated. Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E...
Page 39: Port Vlan Id
If the packet is not tagged with VLAN information, the ingress port will tag the packet with its own PVID as a VID (if the port is configured to accept untagged packets) and pass it to the forwarding function. Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E...
Page 40: Static Mac Filtering

Page 42 Allowing switches to snoop IGMP packets is one way to solve this problem. The switch uses the information in the IGMP packets as they are being forwarded throughout the network to determine which segments should receive packets directed to particular group addresses.

Page 261: Ieee 802.1W Configuration Example
IEEE 802.1w configuration example This section shows you how to configure the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E to support rapid reconfiguration of the spanning tree topology. The IEEE 802.1w support specified in IEEE 802.1s defines a new configuration algorithm and protocol that provide significantly faster reconfiguration of the spanning tree than the original algorithm and protocol defined in the base IEEE 802.1D standard.
Page 262: Vlan Configuration Example
VLAN configuration example This section provides sample CLI commands showing how to configure the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E to support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. Configuring VLANs allows you to partition your network on a logical rather than physical basis. The only physical restriction is that both ends of a point-to-point link must be in the same VLAN.
Page 263: Link Aggregation Configuration Example
Link aggregation configuration example This section provides sample CLI commands showing how to configure the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E to support IEEE 802.3ad aggregated links. By defining a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) you can treat multiple physical links between two end-points as one logical link.
Page 264: Igmp Snooping Configuration Example
IGMP snooping configuration example This section provides sample CLI commands showing how to configure the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module IXM5414E to support IGMP Snooping. Activating IGMP Snooping allows you to restrict the forwarding of multicast packets to network segments that need to see the packets.
