    470F Switches Overview ® Chapter 2 is designed to provide an overview for using the Intel NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches within a network. This chapter covers switching features like flow control and spanning tree, and includes a discussion of the more advanced features such as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch.

  • Page 15: Flow Control

    Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Flow Control During times of heavy network activity, the switch’s port buffers can receive too much traffic and fill up faster than the switch can send the information. In cases like this, the switch tells the transmitting device to wait so the information in the buffer can be sent.

  • Page 17: Link Aggregation

    Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Link Aggregation Link aggregation allows you to combine from two to four (adjacent) ports so that they function as a single high-speed link. For example, link aggregation is useful when making connections between switches or connecting servers to the switch.

  • Page 18: Virtual Lans

        470T and 470F Switches User Guide Intel® NetStructure Virtual LANs A Virtual LAN is a logical network grouping that allows you to isolate network traffic so members of the VLAN receive traffic only from other members. Creating a VLAN is the virtual equivalent of physically moving a group of devices to a separate switch (creating a Layer 2 broadcast domain).
  • Page 19 Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches IEEE 802.1Q (tag)-based VLANs The other type of VLAN supported by the 470 switches is based on the IEEE 802.1Q specification. The specification provides a uniform way for creating VLANs within a network and allows the creation of a VLAN that can also span across the network.
  • Page 20     470T and 470F Switches User Guide Intel® NetStructure Spanning Tree and VLANs The 470 switches support the Spanning Tree Protocol across the entire switch, not per VLAN. If a loop occurs in a VLAN the port is disabled and all VLAN traffic over that port is blocked.

  • Page 21: Garp Vlan Registration Protocol (Gvrp)

    Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) Since IEEE 802.1Q VLANs can span across the network, it poses a challenge for network administrators to manage changes to the VLAN. The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) provides a dynamic mechanism for switches to share topology information and manage changes with other switches.
