    Switching Features Port Mirroring Port Mirroring Port mirroring is used to monitor the network traffic that one or more ports send and receive. The Port Mirroring feature creates a copy of the traffic that the source interface handles and sends it to a destination port. All traffic from the source can be mirrored and sent toward the destination port.
  • Page 34 Switching Features Port Mirroring Figure 4-5. Add Port Mirroring Source Table 4-5. Add Port Mirroring Source Fields Field Description Available Source Select the source ports or trunks to mirror to the destination port.

    Switching Features Jumbo Frames Jumbo Frames Use the Jumbo Frames page to enable the switch to forward jumbo Ethernet frames. The jumbo frames feature extends the standard Ethernet Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) from 1518 bytes (1522 bytes with a VLAN header) to 9216 bytes.
  • Page 36: Flow Control

    Switching Features Flow Control Flow Control When a port becomes congested, it may begin dropping all traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion condition. This can lead to high-priority and/or network control traffic loss. When 802.3x flow control is enabled, a lower-speed switch can communicate with a higher-speed switch by requesting that the higher-speed switch refrain from sending packets.
  • Page 37: Spanning Tree

    HP 1820 series switches support STP versions IEEE 802.1D (STP), and 802.1w (Rapid STP, or RSTP). RSTP reduces the convergence time for network topology changes to about 3 to 5 seconds from the 30 seconds or more for the IEEE 802.1D STP standard.

  • Page 44: Loop Protection

    Loop Protection Loops on a network consume resources and can degrade network performance. Detecting loops manually can be very cumbersome and time consuming. The HP 1820 series switch software provides an automatic loop protection feature. When loop protection is enabled on the switch and on one or more interfaces (ports or trunks), the interfaces send loop protection protocol data units (PDUs) to the multicast destination address 09:00:09:09:13:A6.
