EDS-510A Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions The STP protocol is part of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition bridge specification. The following explanation uses bridge instead of switch. What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that is used to implement parallel paths for network traffic. STP uses a loop-detection process to: y y Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e., paths that have a lower bandwidth).
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions What happens if a link failure is detected? As shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual y y y y Featured Functions Which bridge should be the Root Bridge. The Root Bridge is the central reference point from which the network is configured. The Root Path Costs for each bridge. This is the cost of the paths from each bridge to the Root Bridge. The identity of each bridge’s Root Port.

EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-510A increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage. The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions VLANs provide extra security: Devices within each VLAN can only communicate with other devices on the same VLAN. If a device on VLAN Marketing needs to communicate with devices on VLAN Finance, the traffic must pass through a routing device or Layer 3 switch. VLANs help control traffic: With traditional networks, congestion can be caused by broadcast traffic that is directed to all network devices, regardless of whether or not they need it.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions Access Port: The port connects to a single device that is not tagged. The user must define the default port PVID that determines to which VLAN the device belongs. Once the ingress packet of this Access Port egresses to another Trunk Port (the port needs all packets to carry tag information), the EDS-510A will insert this PVID into this packet to help the next 802.1Q VLAN switch recognize it.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions y Port 6 connect a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 5; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 5. y Port 7 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 4; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 4. After proper configuration: y y y y Packets from device A will travel through “Trunk Port 3” with tagged VID 5.

EDS-510A Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions The physical network can have a maximum of 64 VLAN settings. Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your EDS-510A. The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Network without multicast filtering Group 1 Multicast Stream Group 2 Multicast Stream Serial ports Console IGMP Group2 LAN 1 IGMP Group1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 IGMP Group2 IGMP Group1 All hosts receive the multicast traffic, even if they don’t need it.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Query Mode Query mode allows the EDS-510A to work as the Querier if it has the lowest IP address on the subnetwork to which it belongs. IGMP querying is enabled by default on the EDS-510A to help prevent interoperability issues with some multicast routers that may not follow the lowest IP address election method. Enable query mode to run multicast sessions on a network that does not contain IGMP routers (or queriers).
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
