CHAPTER 1 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide Connection Guidelines General The 470T switch is can auto-negotiate port duplex. It can operate at half-duplex or full-duplex at 100Mbps, and full-duplex at 1000Mbps. The switch matches the highest possible speed (up to 1000Mbps) of an attached device. The 470F operates at full-duplex and at 1000Mbps. Cabling Use Category 5 unshielded, twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable to connect NOTE 1000Mbps or 100Mbps devices to the switch.

® Using the Intel NetStructure™ 470T 2 and 470F Switches Overview ® Chapter 2 provides an overview for using the Intel NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches within a network. This chapter covers switching features like flow control and spanning tree, and includes a discussion of the more advanced features such as link aggregation and the types of VLANs available on the switch. If you are familiar with switching technology you can skip ahead to a particular section within the chapter. The followin

CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide Sample Configuration The following example illustrates how the 470T and 470F switches can be used in a network. In this example, the Intel NetStructure 480T Routing Switch is the backbone of the network, providing routing capability. The 470T and 470F switches provide gigabit connectivity from the 480T to the Intel Express 460T Standalone Switches through the 460T gigabit uplinks. 100Mbps 1000Mbps Link Aggregation group Intel®

Using the 470 Switch CHAPTER 2 Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Flow Control During heavy network activity, the switch’s port buffers can receive too much traffic and fill up faster than the switch can send the information. In cases like this, the switch tells the transmitting device to wait until the information in the buffer can be sent. This traffic control mechanism is called flow control. The method of flow control depends on whether the port is set to full-duplex or ha

Path: 2 Cost: 200 CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide The switch checks the amount of broadcast traffic on each port every 20 seconds. If the port detects that the amount of broadcast traffic exceeds the upper threshold on two subsequent checks, the port drops all broadcast traffic. When broadcast traffic is dropped for storm control, the switch continues to check the amount of broadcast traffic on each port. For the port to begin accepting broadcast traffic again, t

Using the 470 Switch CHAPTER 2 Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches In this example, Client A can communicate with Server B over two different paths. The primary path is Path 1 because the cost of the connection between switches A and C is lower than the cost between switches A, B and C. If the primary path fails, traffic is automatically sent over the backup path. Tagged Frames The 802.1D (1998 Edition) and 802.1Q specifications published by the IEEE extended Ethernet function

CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide Although there are eight priority levels, the 470 switches can only put a packet into one of the two queues. The switch maps levels 0-3 to the low queue and levels 4-7 to the high queue. If a packet is untagged, the switch can be set to use either the high or low queue for that port. The 470 switches preserve the priority level of the packet. Express 460T 7 6 HIGH 5 4 transmit Incoming queue Network packet for the port 3 2 1 LOW

Using the 470 Switch CHAPTER 2 Using the Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches Guidelines The switch treats aggregated links as a single port. This includes spanning tree and VLAN configurations. For the 470F: Anchor ports 1, 3, and 5 can each have up to four aggregated ports; anchor port 7 can have two. For the 470T: Anchor ports 1 and 3 can each have up to four aggregated ports; anchor ports 5 and 7 can each have two. All ports share the same settings as the anchor port. You ca

CHAPTER 2 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide Port-based VLANs Port-based VLANs are the simplest and most common form of VLAN. In a port-based VLAN, the system administrator assigns the ports to a specific VLAN. For example, the system administrator can designate ports 1, 2, and 3 as part of the engineering VLAN and ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 as part of the marketing VLAN. Port-based VLANs are easy to configure and all changes are transparent to the users because they take place at
