Front Panel Image

The front panel image contains the following components (as illustrated in Figure 3-3):

❏ Status LEDs — real-time LEDs that represent the LEDs

on the SuperStack II Switch 1000’s front panel. These LEDs indicate power, management, and port activity.

❏ Device — the SuperStack II Switch 1000. ❏ Port — each port on the SuperStack II Switch 1000. ❏ VLAN groups — groups of conﬁgured VLANs on the

SuperStack II Switch 1000. These are identiﬁed by a number (displayed in the VLAN identiﬁcation window) and a group marker (a green “v” displayed in each port that belongs to the VLAN group).

Setting Community Strings

Community strings deﬁne access rights for reading and writing SNMP data objects for a device.

The community strings (read community and write community) for the SuperStack II Switch 1000 are manually set in the device via its console port. In order to access the device with IntraSpection, the community strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the device.

▲ Important: It is recommended that you set the commu-

nity strings for the device in IntraSpection before you

attempt to perform any network management functions.

This section describes how to set the community strings in IntraSpection to match those set in the SuperStack II Switch 1000.

▲ Important: You must know the community strings of

the SuperStack II Switch 1000 in order to correctly set them in IntraSpection. Refer to the SuperStack II Switch 1000’s User’s Guide for instructions on viewing the device’s community strings.

Managing the Port Address Table

The Port Address Table is a table of node addresses that the device receives on its ports. It uses the information in the table to decide whether a frame should be forwarded or ﬁltered.

By modifying entries in the Port Address Table, you can restrict access to certain ports by specifying the physical addresses that are allowed to connect to the ports.

The table holds a maximum of 500 entries. Initially, all entries are ageing entries (that is, they are removed from the table if, after a period of time, the device has not transmitted or if the device is reset or powered off). Entries can be set as “permanent” to remain in the table regardless of the aging time or if the switch is powered off or reset.

VLAN

This chapter provides an overview of VLAN and explains how to use it with the SuperStack II Switch 1000.

VLAN Overview

VLAN stands for virtual local area network. VLAN is a netw or k conﬁguration tool that allows you to “group” together speciﬁc ports on the same switch, designating them as their own virtual network segments.

With the SuperStack II Switch 1000 Personality Module, the use of VLAN lets you:

❏ Create up to 16 separate user groups

❏ Limit broadcast and multicast trafﬁc

❏ Increase security (by specifying which segments

can communicate with each other)

❏ Allocate network resources (such as servers)

❏ Designate speciﬁc application groups

You can create up to 16 separate VLANs on the SuperStack II Switch 1000 by assigning each port on the switch to a VLAN number . By grouping certain ports together, you effectively “cut” the switch into completely independent segments.

For example, you can designate ports 2, 6, and 8 to be on VLAN1 and ports 1, 10, and 12 to be on VLAN2. As a result, each group of ports will have its own workgroup and resources within its domain. You can create and reconﬁgure these workgroups, reallocate resources as required, and gather statistics at the VLAN group and port levels.

Page 5-1

VLAN

Viewing VLAN Groups

The SuperStack II Switch 1000 comes with 16 groups of VLAN. At startup, all of the switch’ s ports are on vlan1 (displa yed as 1001 in the VLAN Identiﬁcation Window).

▲ Important: You can delete VLAN groups; however, it

is not recommended.

To view the VLAN groups:

▲ Important: To access and use the VLAN groups via the

VLAN View menu, you must use Netscape Communi- cator v. 4.0.

❏ Click VLANView on the SuperStack II Switch 1000

Device Page. The VLAN View Page appears. Figure 5-1 is an example

of the VLAN View Page conﬁgured with eight groups of VLAN.

Creating VLAN Groups

The SuperStack II Switch 1000 comes with 16 groups of VLAN. By default, all of the switch’s ports are assigned to vlan1.

To create more groups of VLANs, “group” together the ports that you want to have on the same segment by dragging and dropping a port button onto a VLAN group button.

To create a VLAN group:

1 Open the SuperStack II Switch 1000’s Device Page. 2 Wait for the page to validate (it is validated when you

see ﬂashing LEDs). ∆ Note: The front panel image on the Device Page

displays the currently selected VLAN group (such as

1001) as well as the ports that are assigned to that VLAN. See “Selecting a VLAN Group for Management” on page 3-5 for more information.

3 Click once on the VlanView menu.

The VLAN View Page appears.

4 Locate the port you want to assign to a VLAN by ﬁnd-

ing its port button on the VLAN window. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the VLAN window to

scroll to the right and locate port buttons that are not visible on the screen.

Address List

This menu displays the SuperStack II Switch 1000’s MAC address table. The MAC address table is a table of node addresses that the device

receives on its ports. It uses the information in this table to decide whether a frame should be forwarded or ﬁltered. Each entry consists of the MAC address of the device and an identiﬁer f or the port on which it was received.

▲ Important: The MAC address table holds a maxi-

mum of 500 entries.

The SuperStack II Switch 1000 learns entries automatically by listening to and learning the information that is broadcast when a new node logs onto the network. The SuperStac k II Switch 1000 chec ks the source and destination address as packets pass through it and records the information in the table.

▲ Important: You cannot manually add an entry into

the Port Address Table.

Field Description

LocationType Read-only ﬁeld; displays the types of physical enti-

ties (and their locations) that the device can contain.

Note:

A stack/chassis (such as the SuperStack II Switch 1000) contains a number of physical entities (such as power supplies and cards/units).

Each physical entity resides at some location. A stack/ chassis can contain a number of types of locations. Each type of location is specialized to a different purpose.

There are ﬁve types of locations deﬁned:

❏ (1) modular-slot — a location of this type can

take a number of different entities. They are general purpose and are often the purpose of the device.

❏ (2) power-supply-bay — contains a power

supply.

❏ (3) fan-position — holds a fan. ❏ (4) backplane-position — contains only a

backplane.

❏ (5) stackableUnit-position — a stack has only

entities of type stackableUnit.
