Gigabit Uplink Web Smart Switch

555555 Ping

The ping function is to test the connectedness of the link between the switch and destination.

5555 VLAN Setting

VLANs are logical subgroups with a Local Area Network (LAN\ that combine user stations and network devices into a single unit, regardless of the physical LAN segment to which they are attached. VLANs allow network traffic to flow more efficiently within subgroups.

VLANs use software to reduce the amount of time it takes for network changes, additions, and moves to be implemented.

VLANs can be created per unit, per device, or through any other logical connection combination, since they are software-based and not defined by physical attributes. VLANs function at Layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3 router working at a protocol level is required to allow traffic flow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify segments and coordinate with VLANs. VLANs are Broadcast and Multicast domains. Broadcast and Multicast traffic is transmitted only in the VLAN in which the traffic is generated.

555555 VLAN Mode

There are 3 types of VLAN mode supporting in the switch:

1) Port VLAN

VLANs are divided based on ports.

2) IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN

The IEEE802.1Q protocol defines a new format of the frame. It adds a tag header in the original Ethernet frame, as follows:

FFFFFFFFFFF IEEE802.1Q frame
