8. Set ETH Function
8.1 Overview
The ETH Function Setting provides the following options:

Equipment Setting
Equipment Setting provides the Bridge Setting, Max Frame Size Setting, and FDB
Aging Time (under the Other Setting option). Bridge function is also known as the
switching function, which enables the device in the multiple network segments can
communicate with each other. User can configure the FDB (forward database)
aging time, default VLAN ID and VLAN mode here.

ETH Port Setting
This function provides the abilities that configure the attributes of the Ethernet port
on the front panel of iPASOLINK, including port name, line speed, Mode, Flow
Control etc.

VLAN Setting
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) enables multiple devices that are separated
physically can communicate as they are located in a same broadcast domain and
also protect the data from sending to other domain even they may connect
physically.
This function provides the abilities of creating, configuring and deleting the VLAN.

FDB Setting
iPASOLINK can learn the MAC address of the Ethernet frame dynamically and
save the port — MAC address mapping information into FDB (Forwarding
DataBase) based on 802.1d for each VLAN. User can also add the static mapping
information manually by this function.

ETH OAM Setting
iPASOLINK supports Ethernet OAM function based on ITU-T Y.1731 and
802.1ag, which enables network operators to measure the Ethernet link quality such
as delay, throughput, jitter, loss, etc., and is helpful for the maintenance and
troubleshooting.

RSTP Setting ( RSTP Port )
iPASOLINK supports RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), which prevents from
the layer 2 level link loop by a faster manner comparing to the legacy STP protocol.
