6216M Book Page 2 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM Introduction IntraSwitch 6216M and 6224 IntraSwitch 6216M The IntraSwitch 6216M is a high-performance, 10/100 Ethernet switch designed for building high-bandwidth workgroups and high-speed network segments. See figures 1-1 and 1-2. The IntraSwitch 6216M has 16 fixed 10/100 ports, which includes two optional Asanté Media Independent Interface (MII) expansion slots, and built-in Web-based network management.
6216M Book Page 3 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM IntraSwitch 6224 IntraSwitch 6224 The IntraSwitch 6224 is a high performance 24-port 10/100 Ethernet switch.The IntraSwitch 6224 is designed for heavy duty desktop users, and features a backplane that is capable of supporting up to four Gbps of traffic.The 6224 can sustain fullduplex, full wire speed (148,800 packets per second per port) non-blocking throughput.
6216M Book Page 4 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM Introduction IntraSwitch Components 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.

6216M Book Page 2 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM Advanced Management Advanced Management Spanning Tree Protocol 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.
6216M Book Page 3 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM Spanning Tree Protocol 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 . This is a combination of the bridge’s 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 . All other bridges in the network have a Root Port.

A Virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logically separated segment of your LAN. A VLAN segment is different from a standard ethernet segment; it contains a limited number of devices, whose traffic is isolated from that of the rest of the LAN.The “member” devices of each VLAN are defined by port grouping.
6216M Book Page 4 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Management The subsections following the Abbreviations list below describe these features and how each is configured.

Tagging is enabled. Tagging is disabled. VLAN group’s ID. Range is 1…4094.
6216M Book Page 5 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM Overview 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.
6216M Book Page 6 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Management 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).
6216M Book Page 7 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Configuration VLAN Management Interface Options The IntraSwitch VLAN configuration can be achieved through either Console/Telnet operation or SNMP operation.

Use the a option, the i option, and the m option in the VLAN Configuration Menu to assign names, ID numbers, and member ports to the VLANs. ▲ Important! The VLID numbers for the VLANs must be identical on the two switches, or communication will not be possible between the matching VLANS.

6216M Book Page 18 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Management If tagging for the port is disabled, then the following warning message appears on the screen: Normal port can't belong to more than one VLAN. Enable Tagging first, press any key to continue… See the "Toggle VLAN Tagging" section above for details on enabling tagging for a port. Adding VLANs to a Tagged Port You can make a tagged port a member of more than one VLAN Group at a time. Use option a for this purpose.
6216M Book Page 19 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Port Attribute Configuration ∆ Return to Port Attributes Configuration Menu Note: The option r is allowed only for tagged ports since, for a normal port, the VLAN cannot be removed. The port has to be a member of at least one VLAN in the system. Similarly, when a tagged port is a member of only one VLAN, the VLAN cannot be removed. In each of these cases, a warning message is displayed on the screen.
6216M Book Page 20 Wednesday, January 27, 1999 5:26 PM VLAN Management Example of System With Tagging The two-switch system shown in Figure 9-3 demonstrates the use of tagging to create some VLAN groups that can communicate with one another, and other groups that cannot communicate. By studying the figure, Table 9-4, and the descriptions that follow, you can learn the effects of tagging.
