RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
Part 3: Switch Basics
• Chapter 8, "VLANs,"
(VLANs) for creating separate network segments, including how to use VLAN
tagging for devices that use multiple VLANs. This chapter also describes
Protocol-based VLANs, and Private VLANs.
• Chapter 9, "Ports and Trunking,"
together to aggregate the bandwidth between large-scale network devices.
• Chapter 10, "Spanning Tree Protocols,"
(STP) configures the network so that the switch selects the most efficient path
when multiple paths exist. Covers Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP),
Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
(MSTP).
• Chapter 11, "Quality of Service,"
including IP filtering using Access Control Lists (ACLs), Differentiated Services,
and IEEE 802.1p priority values.
Part 4: Advanced Switching Features
• Chapter 12, "Virtualization,"
on the logical needs of the data center, rather than on the strict, physical nature
of components.
• Chapter 13, "Stacking,"
aggregate switch entity.
• Chapter 14, "VMready,"
Part 5: IP Routing
• Chapter 15, "Basic IP Routing,"
routing using IP subnets, BOOTP, and DHCP Relay.
• Chapter 16, "Internet Protocol Version 6,"
for IPv6 host management.
• Chapter 17, "IPsec with IPv6,"
Security (IPsec) for securing IP communications by authenticating and
encrypting IP packets, with emphasis on Internet Key Exchange version 2, and
authentication/confidentiality for OSPFv3.
• Chapter 18, "Routing Information Protocol,"
implements standard Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for exchanging TCP/IP
route information with other routers.
• Chapter 19, "Internet Group Management Protocol,"
software implements IGMP Snooping or IGMP Relay to conserve bandwidth in a
multicast-switching environment.
• Chapter 20, "Multicast Listener Discovery,"
Discovery (MLD) is used with IPv6 to support host users requests for multicast
data for a multicast group.
• Chapter 21, "Border Gateway Protocol,"
(BGP) concepts and features supported in N/OS.
• Chapter 22, "OSPF,"
and their implemented in N/OS, and provides examples of how to configure your
switch for OSPF support.
