Page 64 Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual of the VLAN, the frame is forwarded to the destination port. If the incoming frame is not tagged with VLAN information, the ingress port will use PVID as the VLAN ID. If the destination port is not in the same VLAN, the frame is dropped. The switch is initially configured to have one VLAN and its VID is 1.
Page 65: Configuring A Static Vlan
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Configuring a Static VLAN The switch currently supports static VLANs only. To configure the VLAN, click on the VLAN folder at the left-hand side bar. The IEEE802.1Q VLAN screen should appear as shown in Figure 6-8.
Page 66: Trunking
Trunking aggregates multiple physical ports link into a single trunk to provide a single logical high-speed pipeline link. This is useful for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and switch-to-router applications. The SuperMicro Gigabit Ethernet switch supports static type link aggregations. It uses a distribution algorithm to balance traffic between trunk members.
Page 67: Figure 6-11. Trunking Screen

Page 68: Mirroring
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual Mirroring The switch supports port mirroring. A copy of the egress (transmit) data and the ingress (receive) data of the mirrored (monitored) port is sent to the mirroring (snooping) port. A user can attach a monitoring device to the mirroring port, such as a sniffer or an RMON probe to view the traffic at the mirrored port.
Page 69: Quality Of Service
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) helps a network user to reserve a guaranteed bandwidth for some critical application functions that require a high bandwidth and high priority. Applications such as video, audio streaming, VoIP and video conferencing must have a certain amount of bandwidth to maintain their operation correctly.
Page 70: Figure 6-13. Qos Setting Screen
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual Figure 6-13. QoS Setting Screen Table 6-5. QoS Setting Screen Controls Control Description This specifies one of the two scheduling methods (Strict and Weighted Scheduling Method Round-Robin) for the queues. Queue [0:3] prioritizes the four queues. Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue and Queue [0:3] queue 3 is the highest priority queue.
Page 71: Rate Control
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Rate Control The switch supports per-port rate control. When the data rate of the incoming frame for a particular port exceeds a selected rate, the excess frame traffic is subject to packet drops or flow control, depending on the per-port flow control configuration in the P folder.

Page 74: 6-10 Spanning Tree
Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 6-10 Spanning Tree The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) helps to detect and prevents loops from occurring on a switched or bridged network. When multiple paths exist on a network, STP will configure the network to use the most efficient path between network devices. All other paths are forced into a blocked standby state.
Page 75: Port Transition State
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware root switch will set a Topology Change flag in its normal BPDUs. This flag is propagated to all other switches to instruct them to rapidly age out their forwarding table entries. Port Transition State When a device is connected to an RTSP or STP enabled switch port for the first time, it will not immediately start to forward data.

Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual 6-14 UpLink Failure Tracking (ULFT) Uplink Failure Tracking (ULFT) feature is provided to support network adapter Teaming (Windows Systems) or Channel Bonding (Linux Systems) on SuperBlade servers. Installing two GbE switch modules can have additional connectivity to allow increased network bandwidth, redundancy, and/or fault tolerance.
Page 85: Chapter 7 10-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware
Chapter 6: 1-Gb Ethernet Switch Firmware Note that ULTF will only drop an internal link from the blade to the switch if all of the (external) uplinks defined for that blade have failed (or been disabled) on that switch. As long as one or more of uplinks on a particular switch (that have been defined for a particular downlink) is active, the blade and switch will keep the internal link active.
