Introduction
This module is used to configure VLANs to control broadcast in
LANs. Here mainly introduces:
802.1Q VLAN: Configure port-based VLAN.

MAC VLAN: Configure MAC-based VLAN without changing

the 802.1Q VLAN configuration.
Protocol VLAN: Create VLANs in application layer to make

some special data transmitted in the specified VLAN.
VLAN VPN: VLAN VPN allows the packets with VLAN tags of

private networks to be encapsulated with VLAN tags of public
networks at the network access terminal of the Internet Service
Provider.
GVRP: GVRP allows the switch to automatically add or remove

the VLANs via the dynamic VLAN registration information and
propagate the local VLAN registration information to other
switches, without having to individually configure each VLAN.
Private VLAN: Designed to save VLAN resources of uplink

devices and decrease broadcast. Private VLAN mainly used in
campus or enterprise networks to achieve user layer-2-
separation and to save VLAN resources of uplink devices.
This module is used to configure spanning tree function of the
switch. Here mainly introduces:
STP Config: Configure and view the global settings of

spanning tree function.
Port Config: Configure CIST parameters of ports.

MSTP Instance: Configure MSTP instances.

STP Security: Configure protection function to prevent devices

from any malicious attack against STP features.
This module is used to configure Ethernet OAM function of the
switch. Here mainly introduces:
Basic Config: Enable the Ethernet OAM function, configure its

OAM mode, and check out the connection status.
Link Monitoring: Configure the parameters about OAM link

events and choose whether to notify the link event.
RFI: Choose whether to notify the link faults like dying gasp

and critical event.
Remote Loopback: Start or stop the remote loopback; choose

to ignore or to process the received remote loopback request.
Statistics: View the statistics about the detailed Ethernet OAM

traffic information and event log information
DLDP: Configure the DLDP function to allow the switch to

monitor the physical configuration of the cables and detect
whether a unidirectional link exists.
This module is used to configure DHCP function of the switch.
The switch can work as DHCP relay, and here mainly introduces
DHCP relay function.
DHCP Relay: Configure the DHCP relay feature.
