Page 18: Usb Interface
USB INTERFACE The 710FX2 Series switches provide a USB interface accessed via the USB connector labeled as “USB” on the unit. This is used to access the Command Line Interpreter (CLI). The USB connector is at the bottom of the 710FX2.
Page 19: Overview Of Advanced Features
Overview of Advanced Features Mode of Operation Each port on the switch can be configured into different modes of operation as shown below: Copper Ports: - Half Duplex - Full Duplex - Auto Negotiation Half Duplex In half duplex mode, the CSMA/CD media access method is the means by which two or more stations share a common transmission medium.
Page 20: Virtual Lan
A Default Virtual LAN (VID=1) exists to which a port, which is not a member of any other Virtual LAN, will belong. This allows the switch to operate as a ‘normal’ switch when it is used in a network. A port is automatically removed from the Default VLAN when it is reconfigured to belong to another Virtual LAN, because that is the most common operation.
Page 21: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
STP when desired. SNMP Traps The 710FX2 Series switch supports up to 5 SNMP Trap Stations to which SNMP Traps will be sent. The switch supports five standard traps; Link Up, Link Down, Cold Start, Warm Start, Authentication Errors, and power supply failure.

VLAN Addition and Deletion Example The screen capture below is the factory default VLAN configuration. Clicking on the “Modify” button allows one to add a new VLAN: When creating a new VLAN, a numeric ID is required, Name is entered. Note that N-Ring VLAN is a reserved name with a special meaning.
Page 153 The result of add is a “New VLAN”. In this case, it does not overlap the “Default VLAN” ports. Page 153 of 170 (Revised 2012-05-01...
Page 154 The ports of ”New VLAN” may be added back to “Default VLAN” to create overlapping VLANs. Note: If there are multiple ports on different VLANs, the 710FX2 will apply the static multicast address to the lowest VLAN-ID that is associated with one of the ports assigned to the static multicast address. If the lowest VLAN-ID contains all the ports assigned to the static multicast address (an umbrella VLAN), it will function for all those ports with no problems.
