Page 6: Management Preparations
1.3 Management Preparations After you have decided how to manage your converter switch, you need to make the cable connection, determine the converter switch IP address and, in some cases, install MIB shipped with your converter switch. Connecting the converter switch It is extremely important that cables have the correct pin arrangement and that the proper cables be used when connecting converter switch to another switches, hubs, workstations, etc. - Page 7 addresses allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your IP addresses were obtained. Remember that no two devices on a network can have the same address. If you connect to the outside, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you have been allocated by the allocation organization.

Page 36: 802.1Q Vlan Concept
2.8.4.2 802.1Q VLAN Concept Port Based VLAN is simple to implement and use, but it cannot deploy cross switches VLAN. The 802.1Q protocol was developed in order to provide the solution. By tagging VLAN membership information to Ethernet frames, the IEEE 802.1Q can help a network administrator to break up large switched networks into smaller segments so that broadcast and multicast traffic won't grab too much of the available bandwidth, as well as providing a higher level of security between segments of internal networks. - Page 37 Ingress The point at which a frame is received on a switch and the switching decisions must be made. The switch examines the VID (if present) in the received frames header and decides whether and where to forward the frame. If the received frame is untagged, the switch will tag the frame with the PVID for the port on which it was received.
- Page 38 1. If an egress port is connected to an 802.1Q-compliant switch or end system, tagging should be Enable so the other device can utilize the VLAN and priority tags. 2. If an egress port is connected to a non-compliant switch or end-station, the tags should be stripped off and the frame transmitted untagged so that the receiving device can read the normal Ethernet frame.
