Description of Switch Functions

Jumbo Frame

The Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch supports Jumbo Frames, which means that it can

transmit the same data in fewer frames. This helps to ensure fewer overheads, shorter

processing time and fewer interruptions.

VLAN

This switch supports Virtual LAN, which means the network can be segmented into groups to

reduce collisions caused by wide broadcasting. The switch supports both port-based VLAN

and 802.1q tag-based VLAN. Port-based VLAN directs incoming packets to VLANs according

to their ingress ports; 802.1q-based VLAN adds a tag to the header of the packet to direct the

packet to the right VLAN.

Aggregation (Trunking)

The Trunk function groups several ports into one combined transmission channel. This

increases the bandwidth, which helps to boost backbone connectivity. The switch allows a

maximum of four groups, and eight members for each group.
