  • Page 57: Igmp Snooping

    The GSM Series switches support all functions of IGMP Snooping including query, report and leave. IGMP Snooping is used by the switch to learn who belongs to a multicast group and also update the multicast table within the switch with new multicast members. Once the switch has learned who belongs to the multicast group all packets forwarded to a multicast address will be forwarded to all members belonging to the multicast group.
  • Page 58 To disable IGMP select the disable radio button and click Apply.

    VLAN group in which it belongs. A typical example of where a VLAN could be used is in a school environment where the teacher and student networks must be kept separate. The switch supports up to 256 active VLAN entries and a VLAN ID ranging from 1 – 4096.
  • Page 63 Metro Mode: Metro mode is a quick and easy configuration of port-based VLAN’s. Metro mode quickly separates the switch into 14 or 15 (GSM-16T2SFP) 23 or 24 (GSM- 24T2SFP, GSM-8T16SFP) port-based VLAN groups. All ports on the switch are configured into separate VLAN groups and can not communicate with each other.

  • Page 75: Static Forward

    The Static Forward function is used to associate a MAC address to a particular port of the switch. When a MAC address is assigned to a specific port all of the switches traffic sent to that MAC address will be forwarded to this port.

    Function description: The Static Filter function allows the administrator to block MAC addresses from being forwarded by the switch. If a MAC address belongs to the Static Filtering table the switch will discard all traffic from that MAC address. The administrator can easily add MAC addresses to the Static Filter table by entering the MAC Address, VID and Alias fields.

  • Page 83: Stp

    The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardised method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled, the switch will ensure that only one path is active between any two nodes on the network at a time. The administrator can enable Spanning Tree Protocol via the switch’s web management and then set up other advanced items.
