Feature Summaries
The following summaries describe VH-8G features in areas such as
standards compliance, functionality, performance, and options.
IEEE 802.1D Bridge
The VH-8G switch is fully compliant with IEEE 802.1D transparent
bridging specifications. An address table is provided for learning, filtering,
and forwarding. The switch can support up to a maximum of 12K
addresses. Addresses are automatically learned by the switch, and can
be individually assigned specific forwarding treatment by the network
administrator if desired. Forwarding table configuration can be made out-
of-band via the console interface or in-band via SNMP or Telnet. Static
and dynamic addresses are both stored in this table. One static address
is assigned per port by default. The Static Unicast Address Table
Configuration screen in the console menus allows you to assign additional
static addresses if required.

Redundant Power

(RPU) which can supply power to the switch if its primary
power supply fails. (Refer to the manual provided with
the RPU for further details.)
Serial Console Port Male DB-9 connector configured as a standard RS-232
connection for serial out-of-band management using the
console menus.
