8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide • Flow Control - Allows flow control to be Enabled or Disabled for the selected port. • Configure Port from 1 to - Select the port range to be configured. Switch Settings The Switch can operate in one of two modes: • Layer 2 Only with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support - The switching process is based upon the source and destination MAC addresses only. 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the Switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device. • IP Routing with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support - The switching process is based upon the IP source and destination addresses, if present. If the IP addresses are not present, the switching process is based upon the MAC addresses (as in Layer 2 above). 802.1Q VLANs are supported and the switch is considered as a VLAN-tag aware device. The Switch must be rebooted when changing the operation mode before the new operation mode can take effect. Switch Operation Mode The field Restart Mode can be set using the drop-down menu on the Switch Operation Mode screen (under Switch Settings on the Configuration menu) to one of the two switch operation modes: Layer 2 Only, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs and IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. To make a change in the operation mode of the Switch effective, click the Apply button. The Switch must be restarted to change the operating mode. Figure 7-13. Switch Operation Mode screen Items on the screen above include: • Current Mode - Displays the Switch's current operating mode. • Restart Mode - Allows the selection of the operating mode of the Switch after a switch restart. The options are Layer 2, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, and IP Routing, Support IEEE 802.1Q VLANs. 156
