Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Dependent Interface (MDI) and the standard wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX). For information about configuring MDI/MDI for ports or LAGs, see "Defining Port Configuration" or "Defining LAG Configuration." Hardware Watchdog Support The switch uses Hardware Watchdog to detect issues and take corrective action when the software stops responding. Auto Negotiation Auto negotiation allows the device to

MAC Address Supported Features MAC Address Support The switch supports up to 16K MAC addresses and reserves specific MAC addresses for system use. Self-Learning MAC Addresses The switch enables MAC addresses to be automatically learned from incoming packets. Automatic Aging for MAC Addresses MAC addresses that have not seen any traffic for a given period are aged out, which prevents the Bridging Table from overflowing. For information about configuring the MAC Address age-out period, see "Viewi

For information about configuring port mirroring, see "Defining Port Mirroring Sessions." Broadcast Storm Control When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, broadcast and multicast frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. The flooding occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes connected on all ports. Storm control limits the amount of multicast and broadcast frames accepted and forwarded by the switch. For information about configuring storm control, see "Enabling Storm Control." VLAN Suppo

Private VLAN Edge Private VLAN Edge (PVE) ports are a Layer 2 security feature that provides port-based security between adjacent ports within a VLAN. It is an extension of the common VLAN. Traffic from protected ports is sent only to the uplink ports and cannot be sent to other ports within the VLAN. For information about configuring PVE ports, see "Configuring Ports". Spanning Tree Protocol Features Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) per Device 802.1d STP is a standard requirement of Layer 2 swit

Link Aggregation Link Aggregation Up to seven ports can combine to form a single Link Aggregated Group (LAG). This enables fault tolerance protection from physical link disruption, higher bandwidth connections and improved bandwidth granularity. A LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, set to full-duplex operation. For information about configuring LAGs, see "Defining LAG Configuration." Link Aggregation and LACP LACP uses peer exchanges across links to determine, on an ongoing basis, th

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) In IP routing, routers and Layer 3 switches use various routing protocols to discover network topology and define routing tables. ARP automatically determines Device Next-Hop MAC addresses of systems, including directly attached end systems. Users can override and supplement this by defining additional ARP table entries. For information about configuring ARP, see "Defining ARP Settings." ICMP Messages Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages are used
