    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names Each Switch has its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP, etc.). You must provide the switch with an IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Link Change Event This trap is sent whenever the link of a port changes from link up to link down or from link down to link up. ♦ Port Partition This trap is sent whenever a port is partitioned as a result of more than sixty-one collisions on the port (i.e., is automatically partitioned).

  • Page 27: Packet Forwarding

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Packet Forwarding The Switch learns the network configuration and uses this information to forward packets. This reduces the traffic congestion on the network, because packets, instead of being transmitted to all segments, are transmitted to the destination only. Example: if Port 1 receives a packet destined for a station on Port 2, the Switch transmits that packet through Port 2 only, and transmits nothing through the other ports.

  • Page 31: Port Trunking

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port Trunking Port trunking is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline. The participating parts are called members of a trunk group, with one port designated as the anchor of the group.

  • Page 32: Mac-Based Broadcast Domains

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide MAC-based Broadcast Domains The Switch supports up to 12 MAC-based broadcast domains, which are by their nature, limited to the switch itself and the devices connected directly to it. Since MAC addresses are hard-wired into a station’s network interface card (NIC), MAC-based broadcast domains enable network managers to move a station to a different physical location on the network and have that station automatically retain its broadcast domain membership.

  • Page 33: Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q Vlans

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q VLANs Network resources such as printers and servers however, can be shared across 802.1Q VLANs. This is achieved by setting up overlapping VLANs as shown in the diagram below. Figure 5-3. Example of typical VLAN configuration In the above example, there are three different 802.1Q VLANs and each port can transmit packets on one of them according to their Port VLAN ID (PVID).
  • Page 34 Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Tagging The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Tagging ports will put the VID number, priority, and other VLAN information into all packets that flow into and out it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact.

  • Page 35: Port-Based Vlans

    Modular Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-4. Data transmissions between 802.1Q-compliant switches In the above example, step 4 is the key element. Because the packet has 802.1Q VLAN data encoded in its header, the ingress port can make VLAN-based decisions about its delivery: whether server #2 is attached to a port that is a member of VLAN 2 and thus, should the packet be delivered;...

  • Page 36: Broadcast Storms

    In the DES-6000 switch, the default rising threshold is met when more than 500 broadcast packets per second are being detected on a specified port. Once the rising threshold is surpassed for a duration of more than 5 seconds, it will trigger the broadcast storm rising action configured by the user.
