Ingress Filtering
Ingress filtering allows frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be forwarded if the port
belongs to that VLAN. The 1008 switch has two ingress filtering rules:
Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with VID matching this port's
configured VID Ingress Filtering.
Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frame.

Spanning Tree

The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding
loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled, only one path at a time is active
between any two nodes on the network. STP is disabled by default. You can enable
the Spanning-Tree Protocol from the management functions through the Web.
1. Select Spanning Tree from the Advanced Menu.
2. Select enable Spanning-Tree protocol. It is recommended that you enable STP
on all switches to ensure a single active path on the network.
