Switch Features 233

Table 13 Features of the OfficeConnect Managed Fast Ethernet PoE Switch (continued)

Feature	Description
SNMP Alarms and Trap Logs	The system logs events with severity codes and timestamps. Events are
	sent as SNMP traps to a Trap Recipient List.
SNMP Versions 1 and 2	Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) over the UDP/IP protocol
	controls access to the system.
Spanning Tree Protocol	802.1D Spanning tree is a standard Layer 2 switch requirement that
	allows bridges to automatically prevent and resolve L2 forwarding loops.
	Switches exchange configuration messages using specifically formatted
	frames and selectively enable and disable forwarding on ports.
SSL	Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables
	secure transactions of data through privacy, authentication, and data
	integrity. It relies upon certificates and public and private keys.
Static MAC Entries	MAC entries can be manually entered in the Bridging Table, as an
	alternative to learning them from incoming frames. These user-defined
	entries are not subject to aging, and are preserved across resets and
	reboots.
TCP	Transport Control Protocol (TCP). TCP connections are defined between 2
	ports by an initial synchronization exchange. TCP ports are identified by
	an IP address and a 16-bit port number. Octets streams are divided into
	TCP packets, each carrying a sequence number.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol	The device supports boot image, software and configuration
	upload/download via TFTP.
Virtual Cable Testing	VCT detects and reports copper link cabling occurrences, such as open
	cables and cable shorts.
VLAN Support	VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast
	domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the
	VLAN tag or based on a combination of the ingress port and packet
	contents. Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in the same
	VLAN.
Web-based Management	With web-based management, the system can be managed from any
	web browser. The system contains a Web Server, which serves HTML
	pages, through which the system can be monitored and configured. The
	system internally converts web-based input into configuration commands,
	MIB variable settings and other management-related settings.
