Page 51: Ip Addresses And Snmp Community Names
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names Each Switch has its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). You can change the default Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
Page 52 Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ◊ Status changes ◊ Topology changes ◊ Operation You can also specify which network managers may receive traps from the Switch by setting a list of IP Addresses of the authorized network managers. Trap managers are special users of the network who are given certain rights and access in overseeing the maintenance of the network.
Page 53: Mibs
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Topology Change A Topology Change trap is sent by the Switch when any of its configured ports transitions from the Learning state to the Forwarding state, or from the Forwarding state to the Blocking state. The trap is not sent if a new root trap is sent for the same transition.

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide are the number of ports and types of ports. Examples of read- only variables are the statistics counters such as the number of errors that have occurred, or how many kilobytes of data have been received and forwarded through a port.

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide will automatically activated, will automatically re-configure the network topology. STA Operation Levels STA operates on two levels: the bridge level and the port level. On the bridge level, STA calculates the Bridge Identifier for each Switch, then sets the Root Bridge and the Designated Bridges.

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Costs of all the switches that the packet goes through. The Root Path Cost of the Root Bridge is zero. ♦ Bridge Priority This is a parameter that users can set. The smaller the number you set, the higher the Bridge Priority is.
Page 59 Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide ♦ Bridge Hello Time The Hello Time can be from 1 to 10 seconds. This is the interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other Switches that it is indeed the Root Bridge. If you set a Hello Time for your Switch, and it is not the Root Bridge, the set Hello Time will be used if and when your Switch becomes the Root Bridge.
Page 60: Illustration Of Sta
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Illustration of STA A simple illustration of three Bridges (or the Switch) connected in a loop is depicted in Figure 5-1. In this example, you can anticipate some major network problems if the STA assistance is not applied.

Page 64: Vlan
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide a single trunk port. A trunk connection cannot be made with switches that perform load-balancing on a per-packet basis. VLAN VLANs are a collection of switch ports grouped together in a secure, autonomous broadcast and multicast domain. VLANs allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains.
Page 65: Ieee 802.1Q Vlans
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IEEE 802.1Q VLANs The Switch supports up to 96 IEEE 802.1Q (port-based) VLANs. Port-based VLANs limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.
Page 66: Vlan Segmentation
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide VLAN Segmentation Take for example a packet that is transmitted by a machine on Port 1 that is a member of VLAN 2 and has the Port VLAN ID number 2 (PVID=2). If the destination lies on another port (found through a normal forwarding table lookup), the switch then looks to see if the other port (Port 10) is a member of VLAN 2 (and can therefore receive VLAN 2 packets).
Page 67: Vlans Spanning Multiple Switches
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In the above example, there are three different VLANs and each port can transmit packets on one of them according to their Port VLAN ID (PVID). However, a port can receive packets on all VLANs (VID) that it belongs to.
Page 68 Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide compliant and whether VLAN packets should be tagged or untagged. Definitions of relevant terms are as follows: ♦ Tagging The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority, and other VLAN information into all packets that flow into and out it.
Page 69: Vlans Over 802.1Q-Compliant Switches
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide packet. If Ingress filtering is disabled and the destination port is a member of the VLAN used by the ingress port, the packet will be forwarded. If the ingress port is an untagging port, it will only check the filter condition--if the filter condition is enabled-- before forwarding the packet.
Page 70: Figure 5-5. Data Transmissions Between 802.1Q-Compliant Switches
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Figure 5-5. Data transmissions between 802.1Q-compliant Switches In the above example, step 4 is the key element. Because the packet has 802.1Q VLAN data encoded in its header, the ingress port can make VLAN-based decisions about its delivery: whether server #2 is attached to a port that is a member of VLAN 2 and, thus, should the packet be delivered;...
Page 71: Broadcast Management
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide information to make forwarding decisions. As a result, the packets coming from non-compliant device would automatically be placed on the ingress ports VLAN and could only communicate with other ports that are members of this VLAN.
Page 72: Port-Based Broadcast Packet Filter
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Broadcast storms have long been a concern for network administrators with routers traditionally being used to prevent their occurrence, and if that failed, limit their scope. However, switches are now able to limit broadcast domains better and cheaper than routers.
Page 73: Using The Console Interface
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide SING THE ONSOLE NTERFACE Your Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP TELNET protocol.

Page 216: Sample Configuration File
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide AMPLE ONFIGURATION This appendix provides a sample configuration file that can be used with the Update Firmware and Configuration Files screen in the console program. The configuration file is a simple text file that you create. It has two functions: to point to the location of a file on a TFTP server, and to set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the Switch.
Page 217 Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide • PROM – PROM update file. • RUNTIME – Switching software update file. • CONFIG – Image file of switch settings created by the settings backup procedure. ♦ – This command tells the switch the complete Image_file path and filename for the file to be loaded into the switch.
Page 218: Notes About The Configuration File
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Notes about the Configuration File: This configuration file only contain settings: Code_type, Ip_addr, Subnet_mask Default_gateway Each command can only appear once in the configuration file. If both the Firmware Update and Use Config File options are enabled, the Firmware Update command will take precedence and only the firmware file will be uploaded to the switch.
