Following are the pin arrangements for the switch’s Ethernet port and the typical RJ-45 connector.

  • Page 17: Overview

    Express 460T Standalone Switch Overview This section provides an overview for using the Express 460T standalone switch within a network. The chapter covers the basic differences between a switch and hub, basic switching features like flow control and Spanning Tree, and a discussion of more advanced features such as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch.

  • Page 18: What Is A Switch

    If a device sends traffic to an address that is not in the table (or sends broadcast or multicast traffic) the switch sends the traffic out to all ports on the switch. When the switch receives a response it updates the table with the new address.

  • Page 19: Sample Configurations

    Small Office Backbone In this example, the 460T switch serves as the backbone for a small network. The switch can provide high-bandwidth support to the clients (servers and power users) that require it while providing connections for 10 Mbps devices.

  • Page 20: Flow Control

    (also called backpressure) which causes the transmitting device to wait. If the port operates at full-duplex, the switch sends out an IEEE 802.3x PAUSE frame. You can enable or disable flow control for each port on the 460T switch. Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree is a protocol that prevents loops within the network topology.

  • Page 21: Tagged Frames

    The priority level can range from 0 (low) to 7 (high). The 460T switch can read the priority tags and forward traffic on a per port basis. The switch uses two priority queues per port and routes traffic to a queue depending on the packet’s tag.

  • Page 22: Link Aggregation

    To aggregate ports, you must link an “anchor” port to an adjacent port. The 460T Switch supports up to four link aggregation groups (anchor ports 1, 9, 17) for a 24-port switch and up to three link aggregation groups (anchor ports 1, 9) on a 16-port switch.

  • Page 23: Virtual Lans (Vlans)

    VLAN. The advantage of port-based VLANs is that they are easy to configure and, because all changes occur at the switch, they are transparent to the users. The 460T supports up to 12 port-based VLANs. A port can belong to only one VLAN at a time.
  • Page 24 VLAN. The advantage to this type of VLAN is that even if users relocate, they remain on the same VLAN as long as they stay connected to the same switch. The 460T switch supports up to 12 MAC- based VLANs.
  • Page 25 IEEE 802.1Q (Tag-Based) VLANs The third type of VLAN supported by the 460T switch is based on the IEEE 802.1Q specification. The specification provides a uniform way to create VLANs within a network and enables you to create a VLAN that can also span across the network.

  • Page 26: Spanning Tree And Vlans

    Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide On the 460T switch, overlapping VLANs can be supported by using 802.1Q- capable devices. However, for non-802.1Q-capable devices, overlapping VLANs can be supported by implementing an asymmetric VLAN on the switch. An asymmetric VLAN is a type of 802.1Q configuration where endstations send traffic on one VLAN and receive traffic on another VLAN.

  • Page 27: Garp Vlan Registration Protocol (Gvrp)

    When the device sending out the GVRP updates is disabled or rebooted, the dynamic VLAN is removed. Using the Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch • Dynamically adds or removes a port from participating in a VLAN. • Sends updates about the switch’s own VLAN configuration to neighboring GVRP-capable devices.

  • Page 28: Internet Group Multicast Protocol (Igmp)

    Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) Generally, the switch broadcasts multicast traffic to all ports. For multicast traffic based on the TCP/IP using the IGMP protocol, the switch can optimize the broadcasting of multicast traffic by forwarding multicast traffic only to ports that require it.
