Page 73: Chapter 6 Vlan
Chapter 6 VLAN The traditional Ethernet is a data network communication technology based on CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) via shared communication medium. Through the traditional Ethernet, the overfull hosts in LAN will result in serious collision, flooding broadcasts, poor performance or even breakdown of the Internet. Though connecting the LANs through switches can avoid the serious collision, the flooding broadcasts cannot be prevented, which will occupy plenty of bandwidth resources, causing potential serious security problems.
Page 74: Q Vlan
A VLAN can span across multiple switches, or even routers. This enables hosts in a VLAN to be dispersed in a looser way. That is, hosts in a VLAN can belong to different physical network segments. This switch supports 802.1Q VLAN to classify VLANs. VLAN tags in the packets are necessary for the switch to identify packets of different VLANs.
Page 75: Vlan Config
（1） Untagged: The untagged port can be added in multiple VLANs. If a VLAN-tagged packet arrives at a port and the VLAN ID in its VLAN tag does not match any of the VLAN the ingress port belongs to, this packet will be dropped. The packets forwarded by the untagged port are untagged.
Page 76 Choose the menu VLAN→802.1Q VLAN→VLAN Config to load the following page. Figure 6-2 VLAN Table To ensure the normal communication of the factory switch, the default VLAN of all ports is set to VLAN1. The following entries are displayed on this screen: VLAN Table ...

Page 80: Chapter 7 Spanning Tree
Chapter 7 Spanning Tree STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), subject to IEEE 802.1D standard, is to disbranch a ring network in the Data Link layer in a local network. Devices running STP discover loops in the network and block ports by exchanging information, in that way, a ring network can be disbranched to form a tree-topological ring-free network to prevent packets from being duplicated and forwarded endlessly in the network.
Page 81 Bridge: Switch A is the root bridge in the whole network; switch B is the designated bridge of  switch C. Port: Port 3 is the root port of switch B and port 5 is the root port of switch C; port 1 is the ...
Page 82 If the root bridge ID and the root path cost of X equal those of Y, but the bridge ID of X is smaller than that of Y, X is superior to Y. If the root bridge ID, the root path cost and bridge ID of X equal those of Y, but the port ID of X is smaller than that of Y, X is superior to Y.
Page 83 The switch compares the resulting BPDU with the BPDU of the desired port whose role you want to determine. If the resulting BPDU takes the precedence over the BPDU of the port, the  port is chosen as the designated port and the BPDU of this port is replaced with the resulting BPDU.
Page 84 MSTP Elements  MST Region (Multiple Spanning Tree Region): An MST Region comprises switches with the same region configuration and VLAN-to-Instances mapping relationship. IST (Internal Spanning Tree): An IST is a spanning tree in an MST. CST (Common Spanning Tree): A CST is the spanning tree in a switched network that connects all MST regions in the network.
Page 85: Stp Config
Root Port: Indicates the port that has the lowest path cost from this bridge to the Root  Bridge and forwards packets to the root. Designated Port: Indicates the port that forwards packets to a downstream network  segment or switch. Master Port: Indicates the port that connects a MST region to the common root.
Page 86 Figure 7-4 STP Config The following entries are displayed on this screen: Global Config  STP: Select Enable/Disable STP function globally on the switch. Version: Select the desired STP version on the switch. STP: Spanning Tree Protocol.  RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. ...
Page 87: Stp Summary
Note: The forward delay parameter and the network diameter are correlated. A too small forward delay parameter may result in temporary loops. A too large forward delay may cause a network unable to resume the normal state in time. The default value is recommended. An adequate hello time parameter can enable the switch to discover the link failures occurred in the network without occupying too much network resources.

Page 93: Stp Security
Path Cost: Path Cost is used to choose the path and calculate the path costs of ports in an MST region. It is an important criterion on determining the root port. The lower value has the higher priority. Port Role: Displays the role of the port played in the MSTP Instance.
Page 94 Loop Protect  In a stable network, a switch maintains the states of ports by receiving and processing BPDU packets from the upstream switch. However, when link congestions or link failures occurred to the network, a down stream switch does not receive BPDU packets for certain period, which results in spanning trees being regenerated and roles of ports being reselected, and causes the blocked ports to transit to forwarding state.
Page 95 BPDU Filter  BPDU filter function is to prevent BPDUs flood in the STP network. If a switch receives malicious BPDUs, it forwards these BPDUs to the other switched in the network, which may result in spanning trees being continuously regenerated. In this case, the switch occupying too much CPU or the protocol status of BPDUs is wrong.
Page 96: Application Example For Stp Function
BPDU Protect: BPDU Protect is to prevent the edge port from being attacked by maliciously created BPDUs BPDU Filter: BPDU Filter is to prevent BPDUs flood in the STP network. LAG: Displays the LAG number which the port belongs to. 7.5 Application Example for STP Function Network Requirements ...

Page 101: Chapter 8 Multicast
Chapter 8 Multicast Multicast Overview  In the network, packets are sent in three modes: unicast, broadcast and multicast. In unicast, the source server sends separate copy information to each receiver. When a large number of users require this information, the server must send many pieces of information with the same content to the users.
Page 102 3. Each user can join and leave the multicast group at any time; 4. Real time is highly demanded and certain packets drop is allowed. IPv4 Multicast Address  1. IPv4 Multicast IP Address: As specified by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), Class D IP addresses are used as destination addresses of multicast packets.
Page 103: Igmp Snooping
Multicast Address Table  The switch is forwarding multicast packets based on the multicast address table. As the transmission of multicast packets cannot span the VLAN, the first part of the multicast address table is VLAN ID, based on which the received multicast packets are forwarded in the VLAN owning the receiving port.
Page 104 IGMP Messages  The switch, running IGMP Snooping, processes the IGMP messages of different types as follows. 1. IGMP Query Message IGMP query message, sent by the router, falls into two types, IGMP general query message and IGMP group-specific-query message. The router regularly sends IGMP general message to query if the multicast groups contain any member.
Page 105: Snooping Config
Router Port: Indicates the switch port directly connected to the multicast router. Member Port: Indicates a switch port connected to a multicast group member. 2. Timers Router Port Time: Within the time, if the switch does not receive IGMP query message from the router port, it will consider this port is not a router port any more.
