Table 3: Parameters in the output of the SHOW SWITCH PORT command

 

 

 

 

Parameter

Meaning

 

 

 

 

Actual speed/duplex

The port speed and duplex mode that this port is actually

 

 

running at. A combination of a speed (one of “10 Mbps”,

 

 

“100 Mbps” or “1000 Mbps”) and a duplex mode (one of

 

 

“half duplex” or “full duplex”).

 

 

 

 

Acceptable Frames Types

The value of the Acceptable Frames Type parameter, one of:

 

 

“Admit All Frames” or “Admit Only VLAN-tagged Frames”.

 

 

 

 

Broadcast rate limit

The limit of the rate of reception of broadcast frames for

 

 

this port, in frames per second.

 

 

 

 

Multicast cast rate limit

The limit of the rate of reception of multicast frames for this

 

 

port, in frames per second.

 

 

 

 

DLF rate limit

The limit of the rate of reception of DLF (destination lookup

 

 

failure) frames for this port, in frames per second.

 

 

 

 

Learn limit

The number of MAC addresses that may be learned for this

 

 

port. Once the limit is reached, the port is locked against

 

 

any new MAC addresses. One of “None” or a number from

 

 

1 to 256.

 

 

 

 

Intrusion action

The action taken on this port when a frame is received from

 

 

an unknown MAC address when the port is locked. One of

 

 

"None", “Discard”, “Trap” or “Disable”.

 

 

 

 

Current learned, lock state

The number of MAC addresses currently learned on this

 

 

port and the state of locking for this port. The lock state is

 

 

one of “not locked”, “locked by limit” or “locked by

 

 

command”.

 

 

 

 

Mirroring

The traffic mirroring for traffic in and out of this port. One

 

 

of “None”, “Rx” (for traffic received by this port), “Tx” (for

 

 

traffic sent on this port) or “Both”. The port to which

 

 

mirrored frames are being sent is also displayed.

 

 

 

 

Is this port mirror port

Whether or not this port is a mirror port. One of “No” or

 

 

“Yes”.

 

 

 

 

Enabled flow control(s)

Flow control parameters set for the port; zero, one or two

 

 

of ”Jamming” and “Pause”. If flow control is implemented

 

 

on the switch, then this kind of flow control is applied to the

 

 

port.

 

 

 

 

Send tagged pkts for VLAN(s)

The name and VLAN Identifier (VID) of the tagged VLAN(s),

 

 

if any, to which the port belongs.

 

 

 

 

Port-based VLAN

The name and VLAN Identifier (VID) of the port-based VLAN

 

 

to which the port belongs.

 

 

 

 

Ingress Filtering

The state of Ingress Filtering: one of “ON” or “OFF”.

 

 

 

 

Trunk Group

Name of trunk group to which the port belongs, if any.

 

 

 

 

STP

The name of the STP to which the port belongs.

 

 

 

Autonegotiation of Port Speed and Duplex Mode

Each of the switch ports can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode a port can transmit and receive data simultaneously, while in half duplex mode the port can either transmit or receive, but not at the same time. This versatility makes it possible to connect devices with different speeds and duplex modes to different ports on the switch. Such versatility also requires that each port on the switch know

C613-02013-00 specifications

The Allied Telesis C613-02013-00 is a versatile and powerful network switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. This device is part of Allied Telesis's extensive range of networking solutions, catering to both enterprise and industrial applications. It is engineered for high performance, reliability, and ease of management, making it a suitable choice for organizations that require robust connectivity solutions.

One of the main features of the C613-02013-00 is its support for advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities. This provides businesses with the necessary tools to manage and direct network traffic efficiently. The switch includes support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) technology, which allows for the segmentation of network traffic, enhancing both security and performance. With VLANs, organizations can isolate critical workloads and improve network management while ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access.

Another key characteristic of the C613-02013-00 is its extensive support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power along with data over standard Ethernet cabling. This is particularly beneficial for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, reducing the need for additional power supply infrastructure. With PoE capabilities, the switch simplifies installation and enhances flexibility in deploying network devices.

The C613-02013-00 also boasts advanced network management features, including support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for efficient monitoring and troubleshooting. This ensures that network administrators can maintain optimal performance and quickly address any issues that arise. Additionally, the switch supports network redundancy features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which helps to prevent network loops and minimizes downtime.

In terms of physical characteristics, the C613-02013-00 is designed for durability and ease of deployment in various environments. Its compact form factor allows for effective space utilization in data centers and network closets. Moreover, it features a fanless design, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments such as offices and classrooms.

In summary, the Allied Telesis C613-02013-00 is a robust network switch offering advanced features such as Layer 2 switching, PoE support, and comprehensive network management capabilities.
