Introduction IntraSwitch 6216M and 6224 IntraSwitch 6216M IntraSwitch 6216M Power 100Mbps Data Link LEDs MII 2 (Port 16) MII 1 (Port 15) Two Asanté Media Independent Interface (MII) Expansion Slots Page 1-2 The IntraSwitch 6216M is a high-performance, 10/100 Ethernet switch designed for building high-bandwidth workgroups and high-speed network segments.
Page 18: Intraswitch 6224
IntraSwitch The IntraSwitch 6224 is a high performance 24-port 10/100 Ethernet switch. The IntraSwitch 6224 is designed for heavy 6224 duty desktop users, and features a backplane that is capable of supporting up to four Gbps of trafﬁc. The 6224 can sustain full- duplex, full wire speed (148,800 packets per second per port) non-blocking throughput.
Page 19: Intraswitch Components
Introduction IntraSwitch Components Page 1-4 MII Expansion Slots The IntraSwitch 6216M has two Media Independent Interface (MII) expansion slots on the back panel. The expansion slots provide connections for the addition of various media access modules, including: 100Base-FX or 10Base-FL. See “Installing MII Expansion Modules”...
Page 20: Configuration/ Management
Conﬁguration/ Management Switching Capacity The IntraSwitch can be managed by any of the following methods: Out-of-band (via the console port) In-band Telnet HTTP server (Web browser management) SNMP-compatible network manager Console/Telnet Management Through Console and Telnet operation, the IntraSwitch can be conﬁgured and managed manually using the Conﬁguration Menu option.
Page 21: Intelligent Forwarding
Introduction Intelligent Forwarding Chassis Design Page 1-6 The Asanté switching engine supports automatic fragment free packet forwarding. Fragment free switch mode allows the switch to make the fastest possible switching decisions without forwarding runt packages on the network. The switch automatically drops (or ﬁlters) illegally short packets known as runts, which prevent bad packets from propagating across segments.
Page 22: Features
Features The IntraSwitch has the following features: 16 (IntraSwitch 6216M) or 24 (IntraSwitch 6224) ﬁxed, 10/100 switched ports with RJ-45 connectors. Two optional Asanté MII expansion slots (IntraSwitch 6216M only), which replace ports 15 and 16. The slots accommodate 100Base-FX, and 10Base-FL mod- ules.

Page 109: Spanning Tree Protocol
Advanced Management Advanced Management Spanning Tree Protocol How it Works Page 7-2 The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a part of the IEEE 802.1d bridge speciﬁcation. It provides fault tolerance on a network by detecting potential “bridged loops” and then removing them by blocking the appropriate ports to other switches.
Page 110: Enabling/Disabling Stp
The Root Bridge is a central point from which the network is conﬁgured. It is selected on the basis of having the lowest Bridge Identifier value unique MAC address and a priority component deﬁned for the bridge. The Root Bridge generates BPDUs on all ports at a regular interval known as the Hello Time .

Page 140: Vlan Management
VLAN Management Overview Your IntraSwitch supports use of a Virtual LAN on all ports. A Virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logically separated segment of your LAN. A VLAN segment is different from a standard ethernet seg- ment; it contains a limited number of devices, whose trafﬁc is isolated from that of the rest of the LAN.
Page 141: Abbreviations
VLAN Management Page 9-4 The subsections following the Abbreviations list below describe these features and how each is conﬁgured. Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used throughout this chapter. MGMT: Management. PVID: A tagged port’s VLAN ID. Range is 1…4094. STP: Spanning tree protocol.
Page 142: Vlan Tagged (Expansion) Ports
normal port can belong to only one VLAN at a time. When a normal port belongs to a particular VLAN, all frames received at the port are classiﬁed to the VLAN of the port. The received broadcast/Multicast packets, or received Unicast packets with unknown destination, on this port, will be ﬂooded only to ports that belong to the same VLAN as the received port.
Page 143: Management Vlans
VLAN Management Page 9-6 Management VLANs The IntraSwitch system supports access security for switch management. By default, switch management is not affected by its VLAN conﬁguration, meaning the switch can be accessed in any of the VLANs. Once management access is enabled for a particular VLAN, called the management VLAN, the switch can be managed only on interfaces belonging to the management VLAN(s).
