    3.1.3 Modem Port Access You can access the Switch’s administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console (serial) port. The Switch management program provides a Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen, that lets you configure parameters for modem access (see Chapter 4 Menu-Driven Console Management).
  • Page 26: Snmp-Based Network Management

    3.3 SNMP-Based Network Management You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Switch. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the Switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string.
  • Page 27: Management Architecture

    3.4.3 Management Architecture All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (console port, for example) are immediately displayable by the other management methods (for example, SNMP agent of Web browser).

    In the fourth profile mode, all queues are served using a WFQ service discipline. 5.15.1.3 Delay Bound In the absence of a sophisticated QoS server and signaling protocol, the Switch may not know the mix of incoming traffic ahead of time. To cope with this uncertainty, the delay assurance algorithm dynamically adjusts its scheduling and dropping criteria, guided by the queue occupancies and the due dates of their head-of-line (HOL) frames.

    The Switch provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network Management Station running an SNMP network management application. The Switch provides hardware-based RMON counters in the Switch chipset. The Switch manager CPU polls these counters periodically to collect the statistics in a format that complies with the RMON MIB definition.

  • Page 275: Appendix C Vlan

    Appendix C VLAN Switches do not inherently support broadcast domains, which can lead to broadcast storms in large networks that handle a lot of traffic such as NetBUEI or IPX. In conventional networks with routers, broadcast traffic is split up into separate domains to confine this traffic to the originating group and provide a much cleaner network environment.
  • Page 276: Assigning Ports To Vlans

    C.1 Assigning Ports to VLANs Before enabling VLANs for the Switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) it will participate in. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port (that is, a port attached to a VLAN-aware device) if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs and the device at the other end of the link also supports VLANs.
  • Page 277: Forwarding Tagged/Untagged Frames

    When this switch receives these messages, it will automatically place the receiving port in the specified VLANs, and then forward the message to all other ports. When the message arrives at another switch that supports GVRP, it will also place the receiving port in the specified VLANs, and pass the message on to all other ports.

    C-1 VLAN S IGURE AMPLE PPLICATION C.3 Connecting VLAN Groups The Switch supports communication within a common VLAN using store-and-forward switching. However, if you have devices in separate VLANs that must communicate, and it is not practical to include these devices in a common VLAN, then the VLANs can be connected via Layer 3 routing provided by this switch.
