Uplink Port
Entry:
Select “5” from Main Menu.
Purpose:
The uplink port provides a way to connect the switch with a repeater hub, a workgroup switch, a router, or any type of interconnecting device compliance with IEEE 802.3 standards. Switch will send all frames with unmatched DA and multicast/broadcast frames to the uplink port. It is very important that each port is assigned to an uplink port, or data frames might be lost. The uplink port should be configured to be within the same VLAN as the source port. If the uplink port is not a member of the VLAN, the broadcast or multicast frames will not be forwarded to its designated uplink port. Multiple VLANs can share the same uplink port.
