Structure of This Guide

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.

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).

Appendix B, About IGMP, introduces the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), its features and functions, and describes how it detects multicast routers.
