Falcon R-Class | User Guide When a port is powered down for saving power, outgoing traffic is stored in a buffer until the port is powered up again. Because there are some overheads in turning the port down and up, more power can be saved if the traffic can be buffered up until a large burst of traffic can be transmitted.
Page 41: Mac Learning Table
Falcon R-Class | User Guide 4.5 MAC Learning Table This section details the MAC Learn Table functionality. Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds up a table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should be delivered to (Based upon the DMAC address in the frame).

Page 45: Vlans And Provider Bridges
Falcon R-Class | User Guide 4.6 VLANs and Provider Bridges Virtual LAN, commonly known as VLAN, is a group of hosts with a common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same LAN, regardless of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same LAN segment.
Page 46 Falcon R-Class | User Guide Table 4-22: Global VLAN Configuration Parameters Global VLAN Configuration Allowed Access This field shows the allowed Access VLANs, i.e., it only affects ports VLANs configured as Access ports (the default port mode).

Frames classified to the Port VLAN do not get C-tagged on egress. 5.Egress tagging can be changed to tag all frames, in which case only tagged frames are accepted on ingress.
Page 49 Falcon R-Class | User Guide gets classified to the Port VLAN. If frames must be tagged on egress, they will be tagged with the custom S-tag. Ingress Filtering Hybrid ports allow for changing ingress filtering. Access and Trunk ports always have ingress filtering enabled. If ingress filtering is enabled (checkbox is checked), frames classified to a VLAN that the port is not a member of get discarded.

Page 111 Falcon R-Class | User Guide 4.8.2.4 Network Access Server Configuration This page allows you to configure the IEEE 802.1X and MAC-based authentication system and port settings. The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a port-based access control procedure that prevents unauthorized access to a network by requiring users to first submit credentials for authentication. One or more central servers, the backend servers, determine whether the user is allowed access to the network.
Page 112 Falcon R-Class | User Guide For MAC-based ports, reauthentication is only useful if the RADIUS server configuration has changed. It does not involve communication between the switch and the client, and therefore doesn't imply that a client is still present on a port (see Aging Period below) Reauthentication Period Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client must be reauthenticated.
Page 113 Falcon R-Class | User Guide RADIUS-Assigned QoS RADIUS-assigned QoS provides a means to centrally control the traffic Enabled class to which traffic coming from a successfully authenticated supplicant is assigned on the switch. The RADIUS server must be configured to transmit special RADIUS attributes to take advantage of this feature (Refer to RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled within Port Configuration-see below) for a detailed description).

Page 115 Falcon R-Class | User Guide IP address, name, and the supplicant's port number on the switch. EAP is very flexible, in that it allows for different authentication methods, likeMD5-Challenge,PEAP, and TLS. The important thing is that the authenticator (the switch) does not need to know which authentication method the supplicant and the authentication server are using, or how many information exchange frames are needed for a particular method.
Page 116 Falcon R-Class | User Guide Multi 802.1X Multi 802.1X is - like Single 802.1X - not an IEEE standard, but a variant that features many of the same characteristics. In Multi 802.1X, one or more supplicants can get authenticated on the same port at the same time.
Page 117 Falcon R-Class | User Guide The maximum number of clients that can be attached to a port can be limited using the Port Security Limit Control functionality. RADIUS-Assigned QoS When RADIUS-Assigned QoS is both globally enabled and enabled Enabled (checked) on a given port, the switch reacts to QoS Class information carried in the RADIUS Access-Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a supplicant is successfully authenticated.
Page 118 Falcon R-Class | User Guide RADIUS attributes used in identifying a VLAN ID: RFC2868 and RFC3580 form the basis for the attributes used in identifying a VLAN ID in an Access-Accept packet. The following criteria are used: The Tunnel-Medium-Type, Tunnel-Type, and Tunnel-Private-Group- IDattributes must all be present at least once in the Access-Accept packet.
Page 119 Falcon R-Class | User Guide While in the Guest VLAN, the switch monitors the link for EAPOL frames, and if one such frame is received, the switch immediately takes the port out of the Guest VLAN and starts authenticating the supplicant according to the port mode.

Page 332 Falcon R-Class | User Guide Provider switching: This is also known as Q-in-Q switching. Ports connected to subscribers are VLAN unaware, members of one VLAN, and set up with this unique Port VLAN ID. Ports connected to the service provider are VLAN aware, members of multiple VLANs, and set up to tag all frames. Untagged frames received on a subscriber port are forwarded to the provider port with a single VLAN tag.
Page 333 Falcon R-Class | User Guide distributes different keys to each user. Personal WPA utilizes less scalable 'pre-shared key' (PSK) mode, where every allowed computer is given the same passphrase. In PSK mode, security depends on the strength and secrecy of the passphrase. The design of WPA is based on a Draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i standard (Wikipedia).
