RJ-45 port separately. For detail information See Section 2.3 of this manual for information to access the “6K-MNS Software user guide” One frequently-used application for the Managed Multilink ML810 Switch copper ports is to connect one of them using a fiber media converter to another Switch in the network backbone, or to some other remote 100Mb device.
Page 59 When operating in 100Mb half-duplex mode, cable distances and hop-counts may be limited within that collision domain. The Path Delay Value (PDV) bit-times must account for all devices and cable lengths within that domain. For Multilink ML810 Fast Ethernet switched ports operating at 100Mb half-duplex, the bit time delay is 50BT.
Page 60: Flow-Control, Ieee 802.3X Standard
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION Flow-control, IEEE 802.3x standard Multilink ML810 Switches incorporate a flow-control mechanism for Full-Duplex mode. The purpose of flow-control is to reduce the risk of data loss if a long burst of activity causes the switch to save frames until its buffer memory is full. This is most likely to occur when data is moving from a 100Mb port to a 10 Mb port and the 10Mb port is unable to keep up.

Short for virtual LAN (VLAN), a VLAN creates separate broadcast domains or network segments that can span multiple MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switchs. A VLAN is a group of ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. The IEEE 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership...
Page 166 VLAN 3 FIGURE 10–2: Ports assigned to multiple VLANs By default, on the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch, VLAN support is enabled and all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN (DEFAULT-VLAN). This places all ports on the switch into one physical broadcast domain.
Page 167: Tag Vlan Vs. Port Vlan
VLAN (broadcast domain) can be extended across a large network. 802.1Q-compliant switch ports, such as those on the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch, can be configured to transmit tagged or untagged frames. A tag field containing VLAN information can be inserted into an Ethernet frame.
Page 168 If the port also wants to send broadcast traffic, the proper leave (sending out of information) and join rules (receiving information) have to be configured on the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch. It is recommended to use IEEE 802.1q tagged based VLANs over port based VLANs because of there multi-vendor interoperability and capability of carrying the isolated tagged VLAN information when more than one switch is involved.
Page 169: Configuring Port Vlans Through The Command Line Interface
VLANs is needed however the broadcasts and multicasts are isolated to the specific VLAN. GE recommends using the set-port command for setting the port based VLAN as well. The port-based VLAN feature supports a maximum of 1 VLAN per port. Any pre-existing VLAN tags on traffic coming into the switch on a port-based VLAN port will be removed.

This duplication leads to a “broadcast storm” or other erratic behavior that can bring down the network. As recommended in the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard, the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch uses single-instance STP. This means a single spanning tree is created to make sure there are no network loops associated with any of the connections to the switch.

Page 231: Description
14.1.2 QoS Concepts The MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch supports QoS as specified in the IEEE 802.1p and IEEE 802.1q standards. QoS is important in network environments where there are time-critical applications, such as voice transmission or video conferencing, which can be adversely effected by packet transfer delays or other latency in a network.
Page 232: Diffserv And Qos
To make the preemptive queuing possible, most switches implement at least two queue buffers. The MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch has two priority queues, 1 (low) and 0 (high).When tagged packets enter a switch port, the switch responds by placing the packet into one of the two queues, and depending on the precedence levels the queue could be rearranged to meet the QoS requirements.
Page 233 ToS byte. The MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch has the capability to provide QoS at Layer 2. At Layer 2, the frame uses Type of Service (ToS) as specified in IEEE 802.1p. ToS uses 3 bits, just like IP precedence, and maps well from Layer 2 to layer 3, and vice versa.
Page 234: Configuring Qos Through The Command Line Interface
14.2 Configuring QoS through the Command Line Interface 14.2.1 Commands The MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch supports three types of QoS - Port based, Tag based and ToS based. QoS is disabled by default on the switch. QoS needs to be enabled and configured.

The ML810 supports IGMP L2 standards as defined by RFC 1112. IGMP is disabled by default and needs to be enabled on the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch. IP multicasting is defined as the transmission of an IP datagram to a “host group”, a set of zero or more hosts identified by a single IP destination address.
Page 244 (within a subnet) and allows IGMP-configured hosts (and routers) to join or leave multicast groups. When IGMP is enabled on the MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch, it examines the IGMP packets it receives to: • Learn which ports are linked to IGMP hosts and multicast routers/queriers belonging to any multicast group.
Page 245 In this case, the IGMP-configured switch runs as a querier. PCs 2, 5, and 6 are members of the same IP multicast group. IGMP is configured on switches 3 and 4. MULTILINK ML810 MANAGED EDGE SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 15–3...
Page 246: Ip Multicast Filters
IP multicast addresses occur in the range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 (which corresponds to the Ethernet multicast address range of 01005e-000000 through 01005e- 7fffff in hexadecimal.)

Page 247: Igmp Support
The difference between Version 1 and Version 2 is that version 1 does not have a “Leave” mechanism for the host. The MultiLink ML810 Managed Edge Switch does pruning when there is a leave message or a time expires on a port, we prune the multicast group membership on that port.
