    VES-1124 User’s Guide 7.3 Introduction to Port-based VLANs Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port. Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports.

    VES-1124 User’s Guide Chapter 9 Spanning Tree Protocol This chapter introduces the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). 9.1 Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.

  • Page 90: Stp Status

    VES-1124 User’s Guide Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root bridge is down.

  • Page 182: Figure 26-5 Garp Timer Command Example

    VES-1124 User’s Guide Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. The following example sets the Join Timer to 300 milliseconds, the Leave Timer to 800 milliseconds and the Leave All Timer to 11000 milliseconds.

    VES-1124 User’s Guide The switch ignores the port from which the frame came, because the switch does not send a frame to the port from which it came. The switch also does not forward frames to “forbidden” ports. If after looking at the SVLAN, the switch does not have any ports to which it will send the frame, it won’t check the port filter.
