Layer 2 Switch Settings
Note:
Layer 2 Switch functions and settings are also available when the Switch is configured to operate in the
IP Routing (Layer 3) mode.
Figure 7-14.
Layer 2 Switch Settings screen
Items on the screen above include:
Broadcast/Multicast Storm Mode
– Allows the Broadcast/Multicast Storm control to be
Enabled
or
Disabled
. This enables or disables, globally, the Switch’s reaction to Multicast storms, triggered at the threshold
set below.
Upper Threshold (Kpps)
– This is the number of thousands Broadcast/Multicast packets per second received
by the Switch – on one of the base ports – that will trigger the Switch’s reaction to a Broadcast/Multicast storm.
Configure Layer 3 - IP Networking
Routing Protocols
Setup RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector protocol that uses the hop count as its criteria for making
routing decisions.
RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which means that it performs routing within a single
autonomous system.
Figure 7-15.
Setup RIP screen
Items on the screen above include:
Interface Name
– Displays the name of the subnet on which RIP is to be setup. This subnet must be previously
configured on the Switch.
IP Address
– Displays the IP address corresponding to the subnet name above.
Tx Mode
– Displays whether transmitted RIP packets will be structured as
Rip
V1
,
V1 Compatible
,
Rip
V2
, or
Disable
. This entry specifies which version of the RIP protocol will be used to transmit RIP packets.
Disable
prevents the transmission of RIP packets.
