User’s Manual of GS-6320 and MGS-6320 Managed Switches 4.3.3.2 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each subnet into separate domains. This Managed Switch provides a similar service at Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks.

User’s Manual of GS-6320 and MGS-6320 Managed Switches 5. SWITCH OPERATION 5.1 Address Table The Managed Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some nodes in the network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Managed Switch.
User’s Manual of GS-6320 and MGS-6320 Managed Switches The Managed Switch performs "Store and Fforward"; therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur. 5.5 Auto-Negotiation The STP ports on the Switch have built-in "Auto-negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset).
