  • Page 49: What Is Stp

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that is used to implement parallel paths for network traffic. STP uses a loop-detection process to: • Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e., paths that have a lower bandwidth).

  • Page 50: How Stp Works

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B.

  • Page 51: Stp Example

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions destination, when the topology of your network changes, the first bridge to detect the change sends out an SNMP trap. Differences between RSTP and STP RSTP is similar to STP, but includes additional information in the BPDUs that allow each bridge to confirm that it has taken action to prevent loops from forming when it decides to enable a link to a neighboring bridge.

  • Page 52: Configuring Stp/Rstp

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions Using STP on a Network with Multiple VLANs IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition, does not take into account VLANs when calculating STP information—the calculations only depend on the physical connections. Consequently, some network configurations will result in VLANs being subdivided into a number of isolated sections by the STP system.
  • Page 53 EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions Root/Not Root This field will appear only when selected to operate in RSTP mode. It indicates whether or not this EDS-P506A-4PoE is the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically).

  • Page 57 EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions QoS Classification Moxa EDS-P506A-4PoE supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Description Factory Default Weighted Fair EDS-P506A-4PoE has 4 priority queues. In the weighted fair Weight Fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities.

  • Page 58: Cos Mapping

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions NOTE The designer can enable these classifications individually or in combination. For instance, if a ‘hot,’ higher priority port is required for a network design, “Inspect TOS” and “Inspect CoS” can be disabled. This setting leaves only port default priority active, which results in all ingress frames being assigned the same priority on that port.

  • Page 59: Using Virtual Lan

    EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-P506A-4PoE increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage.
