Manageable 8/9-Port Switch MULTICAST SWITCHING For multicast switching, the D-GES7600 checks whether the received frame is a BPDU. If a BPDU is received, the switch forwards the frame to the CPU for processing by the spanning tree protocol. Otherwise, the D-GES7600 performs the following processes: VLAN CLASSIFICATION Same as for unicast switching. LEARNING Same as for unicast switching.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch VLAN A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a network of computers or peripherals that behave as if they are connected to the same wire, even though they may actually be physically located in different locations of a LAN. VLANs are similar to a group of end stations, perhaps on multiple physical LAN segments that are not inhibited by their physical location and can communicate as if they were on a common LAN.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch BROADCAST CONTROL In traditional networks, traffic broadcasts to all network devices, whether they are the intended recipients or not. However, VLANs can be set up to contain only those devices that need to communicate with each other. As a result, VLANs considerably reduce network congestion. In addition, VLANs prevent broadcast storms from causing a network from crashing due to volumes of traffic.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch REMOTE VLAN MEMBERSHIP Additionally to providing network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member ports, the switch also supports GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol). GVRP allows for dynamic registration of VLAN port members within switch and across multiple switches.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch IGMP Snooping & IP Multicast Filtering Continued... If there is more than one router on the LAN performing IP multicasting, one of the routers is elected ‘querier’ and assumes the reponsibility. Based on the group membership information learned from the IGMP, a router can determine which (if any) multicast traffic needs to be forwarded to each of its ‘leaf’ sub-networks.

Manageable 8/9-Port Switch SNMP & RMON MANAGEMENT This section describes the switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities. OVERVIEW RMON is an abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring MIB (Management Information Base). RMON is a system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) document RFC 1757, which defines how networks can be monitored remotely.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch Warm start Cold start Link up Link down Authentication failure Rising alarm Falling alarm Topology alarm MIB-2 defines a set of manageable objects in various layers of the TCP/IP protocol suites. MIB-2 covers all manageable objects from layer 1 to layer 4 and, as a result, is the major SNMP MIB supported by all vendors in the networking industry. The switch supports a complete implementation of SNMP Agent and MIB-2.
Manageable 8/9-Port Switch Bridge Groups Supported The switch supports the following four groups of Bridge MIB (RFC 1493): - The dot1dBase Group – a mandatory group that contains the objects applicable to all types of bridges. - The dot1dStp Group – contains objects that denote the bridge’s state with respect to the Spanning Tree Protocol. If a node does not implement the Spanning Tree Protocol, this group will not be implemented.
