Port Trunking Overview Port trunking is an economical way for you to increase the bandwidth between two Ethernet switches. A port trunk is 2, 3, or 4 ports that have been grouped together to function as one logical path. A port trunk increases the bandwidth between switches and is useful in situations where a single physical data link between switches is insufficient to handle the traffic load.
Page 25
AT-S67 and AT-S68 User’s Guide Trunking ports cannot span across port groups. Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 for port groupings. AT-FS7016 16 Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch RS-232 TERMINAL PORT POWER AUTO MDI / MDI-X LINK/ACT 100M Group A...

Page 43
AT-S67 and AT-S68 User’s Guide The Mirror Divider allows you to set the frequency at which to mirror the frames. For example, setting the Mirror Divider to 10 will mirror the frames in either the receive or transmit direction every 10 frames. Thus the mirrored frame rate will be 1 out of every 10 frames of the source frame rate.
Chapter 5 Virtual LANs This chapter contains procedures for creating, modifying, deleting, and clearing port-based Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) from a local management session. This chapter contains the following sections: VLAN Features on page 46 Overview of Port-based VLANs on page 48 Creating a Port-based VLAN on page 50 Modifying a VLAN on page 54 Deleting a VLAN on page 56...
Virtual LANs VLAN Features A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical grouping of devices on different physical LAN segments that allows users to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the physical configuration of the network. With VLAN switch management software, you can segment your network and group end-nodes with related functions into their own separate, logical LAN segments.
AT-S67 and AT-S68 User’s Guide Increased VLANs provide additional security not available in a shared media network environment. Because a switched network only delivers frames Security to intended recipients, and only broadcast frames to other members of the VLAN, a network administrator can segment users requiring access to sensitive information into separate VLANs from the rest of the general user community.
VLAN must had the same PVID. Some switches and switch management programs require that you assign the PVID value for each port manually. However, the AT-S67 and AT-S68 management software performs this task automatically. The software automatically assigns a PVID to a port, making it identical to the VID of the VLAN to which the port is a member.
Each port-based VLAN must be assigned a unique VID. Each port must be assigned a PVID. This value is assigned automatically by the AT-S67 and AT-S68 management software. The value is the same for all ports in a port-based VLAN and is identical to the VLAN’s VID, except when using the special VLAN...

Quality of Service (QoS) QoS Overview The AT-FS7000 Series Switches feature QoS based on the IEEE 802.1p standard. QoS can be important to network environments when there are time-critical applications, such as voice transmission or video conferencing, that can be adversely affected by packet transfer delays. When QoS is enabled, the switch will assign the ingress frames to either high priority and low priority.
