Chapter 7 Setting the Port Spanning Tree Protocol The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) guard against the formation of loops in an Ethernet network topology. A topology has a loop when two or more nodes can transmit packets to each other over more than one data path. Packets can become caught in repeating cycles, referred to as broadcast storms, that needlessly consume network bandwidth and that can significantly reduce network performance.
Chapter 7: Setting the Port Spanning Tree Protocol Overview STP and RSTP prevent loops from forming by ensuring that only one path exists between the end nodes in your network. Where multiple paths exist, these protocols place the extra paths in a standby or blocking mode. In addition, STP and RSTP can activate redundant paths if primary paths go down.

Chapter 11 Setting Port-based and Tagged VLANs This chapter provides a brief description of VLANs and explains how to display, create, and modify port-based and tagged Virtual LANs which are more commonly known as VLANs.
Chapter 11: Setting Port-based and Tagged VLANs Overview A VLAN is a group of ports that form a logical Ethernet segment on an Ethernet switch. The ports of a VLAN form an independent traffic domain in which the traffic generated by the nodes remains within the VLAN. VLANs let you segment your network through the switch’s management software so that you can group nodes with related functions into their own separate, logical LAN segments.
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide The VLAN information within an Ethernet frame is referred to as a tag or tagged header. A tag, which follows the source and destination addresses in a frame, contains the VID of the VLAN to which the frame belongs (IEEE 802.3ac standard). This number uniquely identifies each VLAN in a network.
Chapter 11: Setting Port-based and Tagged VLANs Displaying VLANs To display the VLAN assignments for all of the switch ports, do the following: 1. Select the Switching tab.

Chapter 14 Setting MAC Address-based Port Security This chapter provides a brief description of MAC address-based port security and explains how to set this feature on the switch.
Chapter 14: Setting MAC Address-based Port Security Overview This feature lets you control access to the ports on the switch based on the source MAC addresses of the network devices. You specify the maximum number of source MAC addresses that ports can learn. Ports that learn their maximum number of addresses discard packets that have new, unknown addresses, preventing access to the switch by any additional devices.
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide Guidelines Here are the guidelines to MAC address-based port security: The filtering of a packet occurs on the ingress port, not on the egress port. You cannot use MAC address-based port security and 802.1x portbased access control on the same port. To configure a port as an Authenticator or Supplicant in 802.1x port-based access control, you must remove MAC address-based port security.
