This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network. Default gateway: For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as the default router.

However, some switches (e.g., the 065-7931 Gigabit WebSmart Switch) support not only symmetric but asymmetric flow controls for special applications. In Gigabit Ethernet, both symmetric flow control and asymmetric flow control are supported.
  • Page 41 Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Frame Reception In essence, the frame reception is the same in both half duplex and full duplex operations, except that full-duplex operation uses two buffers to transmit and receive the frames independently. The receiving node always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame.

Before we discuss VLAN, we must understand what a LAN (Local Area Network) is. In general, a LAN is composed of different physical network segments bridged by switches or bridges which attach to end stations in the same broadcast domain.

We can partition the users into the different logical networks which have their own broadcast domain. The traffic in one VLAN will not disturb others of these logical networks.
  • Page 49 Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch There are many types of VLAN that can be applied to a LAN. The most popular types are port-based VLAN, tag-based VLAN and protocol-based VLAN. Port-based VLAN Some physical ports are configured as members of a VLAN. All stations attached on these ports can communicate with each other.
