User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series ■ IEEE 802.1Q Standard IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the Switch. 802.1Q VLAN require tagging, which enables them to span the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-compliant). VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains. All packets entering a VLAN will only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are members of that VLAN, and this includes broadcast,...
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original Ether Type/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) must be recalculated.
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series ■ Assigning Ports to VLANs Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs.

User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series 4.6 Spanning Tree Protocol 4.6.1 Theory The Spanning Tree Protocol can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
Page 144
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series The port identifier of the transmitting port The switch sends BPDUs to communicate and construct the spanning-tree topology. All switches connected to the LAN on which the packet is transmitted will receive the BPDU. BPDUs are not directly forwarded by the switch, but the receiving switch uses the information in the frame to calculate a BPDU, and, if the topology changes, initiates a BPDU transmission.

DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from rogue DHCP servers or other devices which send port-related information to a DHCP server.
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series If the global DHCP snooping is disabled, all DHCP packets are forwarded. ■ If DHCP snooping is enabled globally, and also enabled on the VLAN where the DHCP packet is received, all DHCP ■ packets are forwarded for a trusted port. If the received packet is a DHCP ACK message, a dynamic DHCP snooping entry is also added to the binding table.
User’s Manual of GS-4210 Series Object Description DHCP Snooping Indicates the DHCP snooping mode operation. Possible modes are: Enabled: Enable DHCP snooping mode operation.
