    If a specific model number is mentioned, then the feature is specific to that model. The Linksys WebView Managed Switch allows you to expand your network securely. Configuration of the switch is secured using SSL for Web access. User control is secured using 802.1x security using a RADIUS authentication mechanism and can also be controlled using MAC-based filtering.
  • Page 12 WebView Switches There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches. Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to operate if one of the links break. Spanning Tree (STP), Fast Linkover, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) allows you to build a mesh of switches increasing the availability of the system.

When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.

  • Page 97: Admin Tab - Dynamic Address

    The Dynamic Address Table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address for traffic entering the switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is found in the database, the packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all ports.

    A fiber connection always require two fiber cables: one transmits data, and the other receives it. Each fiber optic cable is tipped with a connector that fits into a fiber port on a network adapter, hub, or switch. In the USA, most cables use a square SC connector that slides and locks into place when plugged into a port or connected to another cable.
