    Using the Console Interface Using Password Security Using Password Security There are two levels of console access: Manager and Operator. For security, you can set a password on each of these levels. Level Actions Permitted Manager: Access to all console interface areas. This is the default level. (That is, if a Manager password has not been set prior to starting the current console session, then anyone having access to the console can access any area of the console interface.)
  • Page 40 Using the Console Interface Using Password Security N o t e If there is only a Manager password set (with no Operator password), and the Manager password is not entered correctly when the console session begins, the switch operates on the Operator level. If there are both a Manager password and an Operator password, but neither is entered correctly, access to the console will be denied.

There are two levels of reset: Hardware reset: Momentarily interrupts switch operation and performs a complete hardware self-test. This also clears the Event Log. Configuration reset: This is a drastic action that interrupts switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the event log, performs a com- plete self-test, and reboots the switch in its factory default configuration.
  • Page 45: Configuring The Switch

    Configuring the Switch Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Switch 2000 configuration features. In its factory default configuration, the Switch 2000 automatically operates as a multiport learning bridge with network connectivity provided by the particular modules that you have installed. However, to “fine-tune” your switch for the specific performance and security needs in your network, you may choose to reconfigure certain switch parameters.
  • Page 46 Configuring the Switch Overview N o t e In the factory default configuration, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is off. However, if the topology of your network includes any redundant loops between switches or bridges, you should enable STP. See “Spanning Tree” (page 3-17).

    Advanced Concepts Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) The switch uses the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network. In networks where there is more than one physical path between any two nodes, STP ensures a single active path between them by blocking all redundant paths.
  • Page 101 Advanced Concepts Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) How To Configure Spanning Tree: In most cases, the default STP param- eter settings are adequate. In cases where it is not, use this procedure to make configuration changes. C a u t i o n If you enable STP (step 5), it is recommended that you leave the remainder of the STP parameter settings at their default values until you have had an opportunity to evaluate STP performance in your network.

  • Page 112: Virtual Lans (Vlans)

    Advanced Concepts Virtual LANs (VLANs) Virtual LANs (VLANs) The switch supports port-based virtual LANs (VLANs). A VLAN is a collection of ports that belong to a single broadcast domain. (That is, all ports carrying traffic for a particular subnet address would belong to the same VLAN.) This allows workgroups to be defined on the basis of their logical function instead of their physical location, and does not require recabling.

  • Page 121: Ip Multicast (Igmp)

    Advanced Concepts IP Multicast (IGMP) IP Multicast (IGMP) In a network where IP multicast traffic is transmitted for various multimedia applications, you can use the switch to reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage on a per-port basis by configuring IGMP. How IGMP Operates The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite.
  • Page 122 Advanced Concepts IP Multicast (IGMP) Once the switch learns the port location of the hosts belonging to any partic- ular multicast group, it can direct group traffic to only those ports, resulting in bandwidth savings on ports where group members do not reside. The following example illustrates this operation.
  • Page 123 Advanced Concepts IP Multicast (IGMP) The next figure (7-14) shows a network running IP multicasting using IGMP without a multicast router. In this case, the IGMP-configured switch runs as a querier. PCs 2, 5, and 6 are members of the same IP multicast group. IGMP is configured on switches 3 and 4.
  • Page 124: How To Configure Igmp

    Advanced Concepts IP Multicast (IGMP) N o t e IP multicast addresses occur in the range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. When IGMP is enabled, any Traffic/Security filters (page 7-8) configured with a “Multicast” filter type and a “Multicast Address” within the above range are disabled and an event log message indicating this action is logged .
  • Page 125 Advanced Concepts IP Multicast (IGMP) N o t e If you move a port from one VLAN to another, that port will retain its IP multicast (IP Mcast) parameter setting. For example, suppose port A1 is in DEFAULT_VLAN with an IP Mcast setting of “Blocked”. If you create another VLAN named VLAN2 and then move port A1 to VLAN2, the IP Mcast setting will remain the same (Blocked).

Use [v] to highlight the Forward with High Priority parameter.

    Advanced Concepts Automatic Broadcast Control (ABC) Automatic Broadcast Control (ABC) ABC helps to conserve bandwidth and processing power for IP and/or IPX traffic within a broadcast domain without adding the levels of cost and latency normally associated with routers. ABC achieves this by using the switch to reduce IP ARP and RIP broadcast traffic and IPX NSQ, RIP, and SAP broadcast traffic normally found on a network.
  • Page 129 Advanced Concepts Automatic Broadcast Control (ABC) To learn host D’s MAC address, host A sends a broadcast ARP request. Because the switch does not yet know the location of host D, it floods the request out all ports. However, the switch also learns from the ARP request the location of host A and stores this information in its ARP cache.
