Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.1.2.1 Tag-based VLAN Example Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, and thus increase network performance due to reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Page 25 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch • Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes.

H A P T E R Multicast This chapter shows you how to configure various multicast features. 13.1 Multicast Overview Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender to 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender to everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to just a group of hosts on the network.
Page 74: Multicast Status
Chapter 13 Multicast The Switch forwards multicast traffic destined for multicast groups (that it has learned from IGMP snooping) to ports that are members of that group. IGMP snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your Switch.

Page 78: Types Of Mvr Ports
Chapter 13 Multicast MVR allows one single multicast VLAN to be shared among different subscriber VLANs on the network. While isolated in different subscriber VLANs, connected devices can subscribe to and unsubscribe from the multicast stream in the multicast VLAN. This improves bandwidth utilization with reduced multicast traffic in the subscriber VLANs and simplifies multicast group management.
Page 79: General Mvr Configuration
Chapter 13 Multicast When the subscriber selects a television channel, computer A sends an IGMP report to the Switch to join the appropriate multicast group. If the IGMP report matches one of the configured MVR multicast group addresses on the Switch, an entry is created in the forwarding table on the Switch.

Page 139: Appendix A Ip Addresses And Subnetting
P P E N D I X IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.
Page 140: Figure 72 Network Number And Host Id
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 72 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation).
Page 141: Table 51 Subnet Masks
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Table 51 Subnet Masks BINARY DECIMAL 4TH OCTET OCTET...

In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.
Page 143: Figure 74 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 74 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 2 – 2 or 126 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet’s address itself, all ones is the subnet’s broadcast address).

If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask.
Page 147: Figure 75 Conflicting Computer Ip Addresses Example
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting IP Address Conflicts Each device on a network must have a unique IP address. Devices with duplicate IP addresses on the same network will not be able to access the Internet or other resources. The devices may also be unreachable through the network.
Page 148: Figure 77 Conflicting Computer And Router Ip Addresses Example
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Conflicting Computer and Router IP Addresses Example More than one device can not use the same IP address. In the following example, the computer and the router’s LAN port both use 192.168.1.1 as the IP address. The computer cannot access the Internet.
