  • Page 45: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures on a network, and provide an automatic means of avoiding loops. This is particularly important for networks that have a complicated architecture, since unintended loops in the network can cause broadcast storms. By default, STP is disabled on all Moxa switches. To work properly, RSTP/STP must be enabled on every Moxa switch connected to your network.

  • Page 46: How Stp Works

    Moxa Industrial Smart Ethernet Switch The STP/RSTP Concept If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of the paths from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determined that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through bridges C and A since this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.

  • Page 47: Stp Calculation

    Moxa Industrial Smart Ethernet Switch The STP/RSTP Concept • Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link. The efficiency cost is usually determined by the bandwidth of the link, with less efficient links assigned a higher cost. STP Calculation The first step of the STP process is to perform calculations.

  • Page 48: The Virtual Lan (Vlan) Concept

    The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment. With VLANs, you can segment your network without being restricted by physical connections—a limitation of traditional network design.

  • Page 49: Vlans And The Rackmount Switch

    Moxa Industrial Smart Ethernet Switch The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept • VLANs help control traffic: With traditional networks, congestion can be caused by broadcast traffic that is directed to all network devices, regardless of whether or not they need it. VLANs increase the efficiency of your network because each VLAN can be set up to contain only those devices that need to communicate with each other.

Switch B will recognize its VLAN, pass to port 5, and then remove tags received successfully by Device H. Packets from Device H will travel through Trunk Port 3 with PVID 3.
