Basic Functions

In general, the LBG1000Aswitch 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

FORWARDING

AGING

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