between switch B and C is deliberate ly chosen as a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link (default port cost = 19). Gigabit ports could be used, but the port cost should be increased from t he default to ensure that the link between switch B and s witch C is the blocked link. 4.6.2 S p anning T ree Configuration The S panning T ree Protocol (STP) operates on[...]

the default setting is 128.The lo wer number has the highest priority . Path Cost: S pecifies the path cost of the port. The switch uses this parameter to help determine which port will become a for warding port. Lower numbers will be used as forwarding ports first. The range is from 0 to 65535. The default values based on I EEE802.1D are: 10Mb/s =[...]

It allows a maximum of eight ports to be aggregated at the same time. The Sw itch support Gigabit Ethernet ports (up to 12 groups). If the group is defined as a LACP static link aggregationing group, then any extra ports selected are placed in a standby mode fo r redundancy if one of the other ports fails. If the group is defined as a local static [...]

The Switch allows you to further tailor how priority tagged data packets are handled on your network. Using queues to manage pri ority tagged data allows you to specify its relative priority to sui[...]

new VLAN is created, the member ports assigned to the new VLAN will be removed from the DEF AUL T _ VLAN port member list. The DEF AUL T_VLAN has a VID = 1. Port-based VLAN Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a s[...]

MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 i n the Ether T ype field. When a packet's Ether T ype field is equal to 0x8100, the packet ca rries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p t ag. The tag is contained in the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priority , 1 bit of Canonical Format Identifier (CFI - used for encapsula[...]

decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. T agged packet s are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. T agged packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is. T ag-a ware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the s witch to VID on the [...]

4.8 QoS 4.8.1 Underst and QOS Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioriti zation feature that a llows you to establish control over network traffic. QoS enables you to assign various gr ades of network service to different types of traffic, such as multi-media, video, protocol-s pecific, time critical, and file-backup traffic. QoS redu[...]

Rules are associated with a QoS Profile (see above). T o implement QoS on your network, you need to carry out the follo wing actions: 1. Define a service level to determine the pr iority that will be applied to traffic. 2. Apply a classifier to determine how the incoming traffic will be classified and thus treated by the Swi tch. 3. Create a QoS pr[...]

A host sends an IGMP “report” to join a group A host will never send a report when it wants to leave a group (for version 1). A host will send a “leave” report when it wants to leave a group (for version 2).
