    6.3 Community Name and Security SNMP v.1 was not designed to be a secure protocol. There is no true password, although the string known as a community string does serve some of the same purposes. SNMP-aware devices, such as this switch, often ship with well-known community strings. For this reason, it is important that you change the default community strings before putting the switch on a network.

  • Page 67: Chapter 7. Switching Concepts

    Chapter 7. Switching Concepts A bridge is a hardware device used to connect multiple networks into one big network. However, when a bridge receives a broadcast from one interface, it will forward the frame to all interfaces and flood the wire, easily overwhelming the network.
  • Page 68: Spanning Tree Protocol

    7.1.3 Port VLAN ID To allow untagged packets to participate in a VLAN, a Port VLAN ID (PVID) must be assigned in the relevant port(s). Each port on the switch has a default PVID of 1 (the default VLAN) and will receive both tagged and untagged frames.
  • Page 69: Full Duplex, Flow Control And Auto-Negotiation

    Forward Delay After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the Forward Delay parameter regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port begins forwarding traffic too soon (before a new root bridge has been selected), the network can be adversely affected. The default value for Forward Delay is 15 seconds. Note: The above parameters (Hello Time, Maximum Age and Forward Delay) are constrained by the following formula: (Hello Time + 1) <= Maximum Age <= 2 x (Forward Delay –...
  • Page 70: Flow Control

    7.3.2 Flow Control With a link operating at a high data rate, a switch may experience occasional limitations in the buffer space used to store Ethernet frames before forwarding them. In this situation, if the sending station continues to send frames, the switch will have no option but to discard the frames. This may quickly lead to unacceptable delays in upper-level protocols.
