About This Guide xix
Chapter 8, 802.1p Configuration Menu Screens, describes how to use the screens to set the
transmit priority of each port, display the current traffic class mapping-to-priority of each port, set
ports to either transmit frames according to selected priority transmit queues or percentage of port
transmission capacity for each queue, assign transmit priorities according to protocol types, and
configure a rate limit for a given port and list of priorities.
Chapter 9, Layer 3 Extensions Menu Screens, introduces and describes how to enable or disable
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol, RFC 2236) on selected VLANs, or globally on all
VLANs that are available.
Chapter 10, Device Statistics Menu Screens, introduces and describes how to use the statistics
screens to gather statistics about the switch, interfaces, RMON, and HSIM/VHSIM and, if the
device is a repeater, repeater statistics.
Chapter 11, Network Tools Screens, describes how to access and use the Network Tools screens.
This chapter also lists built-in and new functional CLI commands, including examples.
Chapter 12, VLAN Operation and Network Applications, introduces VLANs, describes how
they operate, and how to configure them using the Local Management screens described in
Chapter 7. Examples are also provided to show how VLANs are configured to solve a problem and
how the VLAN frames travel through the network.
Appendix A, Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), describes the switch operation
when its ports are configured to operate under the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) application.
Appendix B, About IGMP, introduces the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), its
features and functions, and describes how it detects multicast routers.
NOTE: There is a global setting for GVRP that is enabled by default. However, this
setting is only accessible through a Management Information Base (MIB).
