  • Page 13: Using The Intel Netstructure™ 470T And 470F Switches Overview

    NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Overview Chapter 2 provides an overview for using the Intel and 470F Switches within a network. This chapter covers switching features like flow control and spanning tree, and includes a discussion of the more advanced features such as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch.

  • Page 14: Sample Configuration

    The following example illustrates how the 470T and 470F switches can be used in a network. In this example, the Intel NetStructure 480T Routing Switch is the backbone of the network, providing routing capability. The 470T and 470F switches provide gigabit connectivity from the 480T to the Intel Express 460T Standalone Switches through the 460T gigabit uplinks.

  • Page 15: Flow Control

    Flow Control During heavy network activity, the switch’s port buffers can receive too much traffic and fill up faster than the switch can send the information. In cases like this, the switch tells the transmitting device to wait until the information in the buffer can be sent.

  • Page 16: Spanning Tree Protocol

    Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide The switch checks the amount of broadcast traffic on each port every 20 seconds. If the port detects that the amount of broadcast traffic exceeds the upper threshold on two subsequent checks, the port drops all broadcast traffic.

  • Page 17: Tagged Frames

    Priority tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expediting) is usually set on the LAN adapter in a PC or switch and works with other elements of the network (switches, routers) to deliver packets based on priority.

  • Page 18: Link Aggregation

    Although there are eight priority levels, the 470 switches can only put a packet into one of the two queues. The switch maps levels 0-3 to the low queue and levels 4-7 to the high queue. If a packet is untagged, the switch can be set to use either the high or low queue for that port.

  • Page 19: Virtual Lans

    VLAN receive traffic only from other members. Creating a VLAN is the virtual equivalent to physically moving a group of devices to a separate switch (creating a Layer 2 broadcast domain). With VLANs you can reduce broadcast traffic for the entire switch, and increase security, without changing the wiring of your network.
  • Page 20 If a user changes to another location, the system administrator reassigns the port to the new VLAN. If a switch (or hub) is connected to a port that is part of a VLAN, all devices connected to the switch are also part of the VLAN.
  • Page 21 (e.g. marketing), improves security (engineering can’t see marketing), and eases moves because the user doesn’t have to be physically located in the same group to participate in the VLAN. Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Intel ® NetStructure ™...
  • Page 22 For example, you can attach a LAN using NetBEUI traffic to port 1 on the switch, and attach a LAN using IPX traffic to port 2 on the switch. Then, attach a router connected to the Internet, to port 8. Create an IP VLAN that incorportates ports 1, 2, and 8.

  • Page 23: Garp Vlan Registration Protocol (Gvrp)

    Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Spanning Tree Protocol and VLANs The 470 switches support the Spanning Tree Protocol across the entire switch, not across each VLAN. If VLANs create a redundant link between two switches and both of those switches have the Spanning Tree Protocol enabled, one of the VLANs is disabled.

  • Page 24: Internet Group Management Protocol (Igmp)

    If the device sending out the GVRP updates is removed, the dynamic VLAN is removed. Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) is defined by the IEEE 802.1D (1998 Edition) specification and is the mechanism used by switches and end nodes (servers, PCs, and so on) to propagate configuration across the network domain.
