Page 17: Using The Intel Express 460T Switch
® Using the Intel Express 460T Switch Overview This section is designed to provide an overview for using the Express 460T switch within a network. The chapter covers the basic differences between a switch and hub, basic switching features like flow control and Spanning Tree, and a discussion of the more advanced features such as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch. -
Page 18: What Is A Switch
Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide What is a Switch? A switch segments traffic, providing each port its own collision domain. This is different than a hub where all ports belong to the same collision domain. Segments and Hubs Hubs combine multiple wires so all attached devices behave like they are on the same wire. -

10Mbps devices. Use the optional modules available for the Express 460T to extend the reach of the network beyond 100 meters (330 ft.). For example, to connect different buildings or remote campuses to an Intel ® Express 550T switch located at a central office. -
Page 20: Flow Control
Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide 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 21: Tagged Frames
Using the Express 460T Switch Tagged Frames The 802.1D (1998 Edition) and 802.1Q specifications published by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) extended Ethernet functionality to add tag information to Ethernet frames and propagate these tagged frames between bridges (for example, a switch). The tag can carry priority information, VLAN information, or both and allows bridges to intelligently direct traffic across the network. -
Page 22: Link Aggregation
Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide Link Aggregation Link aggregation allows you to combine from 2 to 8 (adjacent) ports so that they function as a single high-speed link. For example, link aggregation is useful when making connections between switches or to connect servers to the switch. -

Page 27: Garp Vlan Registration Protocol (Gvrp)
Using the Express 460T Switch GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) Since IEEE 802.1Q VLANs can span networks, 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. -
Page 28: Internet Group Multicast Protocol (Igmp)
Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) Under normal circumstances, multicast traffic is broadcast by the switch to all ports.
