Manageable 8/9-Port Switch

PLEASE NOTE:

I. Half-duplex mode uses back pressure flow control to prevent the receiving buffer from being overrun by data from a source node.

II.Full-duplex mode uses 802.3x flow control standard to prevent fast data traffic from overrunning slow data traffic.

III. Auto-sensing mode is in use after auto-negotiating with the other end of the link.

BASIC FUNCTIONS

In general, the D-GES7600 is responsible for switching both VLAN tagged and untagged frames from a receiving port to one or more transmitting ports. The switch performs multiple steps during the switching process:

VLAN CLASSIFICATION

LEARNING

FILTERING

AGING

Below is additional information about tasks that the switch performs during unicast and multicast switching.

UNICAST SWITCHING

VLAN CLASSIFICATION

When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways:

-If the frame is untagged, the switch classifies the frame to an associated VLAN.

-If the frame is tagged, the switch uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify the broadcasting domain of the frame.
