If the BPDU Guard Auto Recovery mode is disabled, a port that has received a BPDU and has been placed in the diagnostically disabled state will remain in that state until an administrator manually enables it.

  • Page 41: Loop Protection

    Loop Protection Loops on a network consume resources and can degrade network performance. Detecting loops man- ually can be very cumbersome and time consuming. The HPE OfficeConnect 1850 series switch soft- ware 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.

  • Page 45: Igmp Snooping

    IGMP Snooping Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows a device to forward multicast traffic intelligently. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic.

  • Page 46: Virtual Lan

    VLAN ID. A given port may handle traffic for more than one VLAN, but it can only sup- port one default VLAN ID. HPE OfficeConnect 1850 series switches support up to 64 VLANs. Viewing VLAN Status and Adding VLANs Use the VLAN Status page to view information on VLANs currently defined on the switch and to add and edit VLAN information.

  • Page 47: Adding Vlans

    The following information displays for each VLAN: Table 20. VLAN Configuration Fields Field Description VLAN ID The numerical VLAN identifier (VID) assigned to the VLAN, from 1 to 4093.

  • Page 51: Trunks

    6 Trunks Trunks allow for the aggregation of multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing capability. A trunk interface can be either static or dynamic: ...

  • Page 52: Trunk Configuration

    Trunk Configuration You can use the Trunk Configuration page to view and edit trunks. The number of trunks on the system is fixed, and all trunks are disabled by default.

  • Page 54: Trunk Statistics

    Note the following considerations when configuring trunks and trunk members:  All ports in a trunk must have the same full-duplex speed.  Loop protection is supported on static trunks, but not on dynamic trunks. If loop protection is enabled on a static trunk that is now being changed to a dynamic trunk, loop protection will be dis- abled on the trunk.

When enabled, the storm control threshold is automatically set to 5% of port speed.
  • Page 74 Table 38. Storm Control Configuration Fields Field Description Storm Control Features Storm Control Storm control enables the rate-limiting of incoming unicast (with unknown destination), multicast, and broadcast traffic to prevent unnecessary congestion in the network. When enabled, the storm control threshold is automatically set to 5% of port speed. If the incoming rate of unicast (with unknown destination), multicast, or broadcast packets exceeds this value, the port moves to the diagnostically disabled state and remains in that state until it is re-enabled by the Auto recovery feature.
