Cascaded Connection
By utilizing a combination of
three 24-port Fast Ethernet
Rackmount Web-Smart Switches
and a single 4-port server (as
shown in the figure at right),
each 24-port Smart Switch is
able to support two trunks, with
each trunk allowing as many as
four ports to be available for use
in a cascaded connection.
VLAN Configuration
VLAN (virtual local area network) is a logical network group that limits the
broadcast domain. It allows
you to isolate network traffic
so only members of the
VLAN receive traffic from
the same VLAN members.
Basically, creating a VLAN
within a switch is logically
equivalent to reconnecting a
group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still physically plugged into the same switch.
Port Monitoring Configuration
Port monitoring is
forwarding specified
direction of packets from
several monitored ports
to a specified
monitoring port.
