Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
— IGMP Snooping—Toggle to enable or disable Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) Snooping. IGMP snooping enables the GbE Interconnect Switch to register
IGMP packets being forwarded through the GbE Interconnect Switch in order to
obtain multicast membership information from them and learn which ports contain
multicast members. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring IGMP
Snooping” section later in this chapter.
— Switch GVRP—Toggle to enable or disable GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP) on the GbE Interconnect Switch. GVRP allows dynamic propagation of
VLAN registration accross the GVRP enabled switches on the same network. For
additional information, refer to the “Configuring GVRP” section later in this chapter.
— Telnet Status—Toggle to enable or disable access to the GbE Interconnect Switch
over the network using the Telnet protocol.
— Web Status—Toggle to enable or disable use of a Web-based browser to manage the
GbE Interconnect Switch.
— Group Address Filter Mode—Toggle to select the IGMP group address filter mode
for forwarding multicast packets. The options are Forward All, Forward All
Unregistered, and Filtered All Unregistered.
— Scheduling Mechanism for CoS Queues—Toggle to select the Class of Service
queue scheduling option: RoundRobin or Strict. If you select Strict, when the
highest priority queue is full, those packets are the first to be forwarded. If you select
RoundRobin, the forwarding is based on the settings made on the Class of Service
Configuration screen. For more information, refer to the “Configuring the Class of
Service, Default Port Priority, and Traffic” section later in this chapter.
— Trunk Load Sharing Algorithm—Toggle to select how load sharing will be
determined. The trunk load sharing options are destination address, source address,
and source and destination address.
— Backpressure—Toggle to enable or disable backpressure flow control in and out of
the switch. When backpressure is enabled and there is incoming traffic congestion on
a 10/100 port, the receiving port sends a request to the transmitting port. The
transmitting port acknowledges the request and stops sending packets for a random
amount of time, before it starts sending again.
— SNTP—Toggle to enable or disable Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). For
additional information, refer to the “Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Date
and Time” section later in this chapter.
3. After making your changes, highlight APPLY.
4. Press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
in this chapter.
