  • Page 53: Mac Filtering

    5-4-6-4. MAC Filtering 5-4-7. VLAN configuration A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to physically connecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
  • Page 54 Support Protocol-based VLAN In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it must be capable of either tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attach itself to a VLAN-aware bridge. The bridge must be capable of classifying and tagging the packets with a different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

    Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the SmartGST801M. Incorrect connections Faulty or loose cables Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.
  • Page 64 Cabling 100Base-FX fiber port: For Multi-Mode fiber, connectors must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 m Multi-Mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to 2 km apart. Single Mode fiber connectors must use 9/125 m Single Mode fiber cable. With Single Mode fiber cable, devices can be up to 30km apart in full duplex operation.
