    2.3.2 Removing a GBIC Caution: GBIC 1000T modules run hot under normal operating conditions. When it has been removed from the system, place it on a heat-resistant surface and allow the module to cool before handling. Note: Unnecessary removals/insertions of a GBIC module will lead to premature failure of the GBIC. The rated duty cycle for a GBIC module is 100 to 500 removals/insertions.

    7.1.2 VLAN ID and Tagged Frames The IntraCore 35160 supports 1024 manually configurable VLANs. Each VLAN is identified by a 12-bit (1- 4095) VLAN ID (VID). No two VLANs may have the same VID if they reside on the same switch. However, by assigning the same VID to VLANs on multiple switches, the broadcast domain may be extended over a large network.

  • Page 77: Spanning Tree Protocol

    7.1.3 Port VLAN ID To allow untagged packets to participate in a VLAN, a Port VLAN ID (PVID) must be assigned in the relevant port(s). Each port on the switch has a default PVID of 1 (the default VLAN) and will receive both tagged and untagged frames.

    Forward Delay After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the Forward Delay parameter regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port begins forwarding traffic too soon (before a new root bridge has been selected), the network can be adversely affected. The default value for Forward Delay is 15 seconds. Note: The above parameters (Hello Time, Maximum Age, and Forward Delay) are constrained by the following formula: (Hello Time + 1) <= Maximum Age <= 2 x (Forward Delay –...

  • Page 79: Flow Control

    7.3.2 Flow Control With a link operating at a high data rate, a switch may experience occasional limitations in the buffer space used to store Ethernet frames before forwarding them. In this situation, if the sending station continues to send frames, the switch will have no option but to discard the frames. This may quickly lead to unacceptable delays in upper-level protocols.
