GS752TXS and GS728TXS Smart Switches Table 21. IP routing statistics (Continued) Field IcmpOutRedirects IcmpOutEchos IcmpOutEchoReps IcmpOutTimestamps IcmpOutTimestampReps IcmpOutAddrMasks IcmpOutAddrMaskReps Description The number of ICMP Redirect messages sent. For a host, this object is always zero, since hosts do not send redirects. The number of ICMP Echo (request) messages sent. The number of ICMP Echo Reply messages sent. The number of ICMP Timestamp (request) messages. The number of ICMP Timestamp Reply messages sent. The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages sent. The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages sent. Configure VLAN Routing You can configure GS752TXS and GS728TXS Smart Switches software with some ports supporting VLANs and some supporting routing. You can also configure the software to allow traffic on a VLAN to be treated as if the VLAN were a router port. When a port is enabled for bridging (default) rather than routing, all normal bridge processing is performed for an inbound packet, which is then associated with a VLAN. Its MAC Destination Address (MAC DA) and VLAN ID are used to search the MAC address table. If routing is enabled for the VLAN, and the MAC DA of an inbound unicast packet is that of the internal bridge-router interface, the packet is routed. An inbound multicast packet is forwarded to all ports in the VLAN, plus the internal bridge-router interface, if it was received on a routed VLAN. Since a port can be configured to belong to more than one VLAN, VLAN routing might be enabled for all of the VLANs on the port, or for a subset. VLAN Routing can be used to allow more than one physical port to reside on the same subnet. It could also be used when a VLAN spans multiple physical networks, or when additional segmentation or security is required. This section shows how to configure GS752TXS and GS728TXS Smart Switches software to support VLAN routing. A port can be either a VLAN port or a router port, but not both. However, a VLAN port can be part of a VLAN that is itself a router port. VLAN Routing Wizard The VLAN Routing Wizard creates a VLAN, adds selected ports to the VLAN. The VLAN Wizard gives the user the option to add the selected ports as a Link Aggregation (LAG). With this wizard, you can: • Create a VLAN and generate a unique name for VLAN. • Add selected ports to the newly created VLAN and remove selected ports from the default VLAN. 160
