Configuring Advanced Features
This chapter describes the following features and how to configure them with
the switch’s built-in interfaces:
■ Stack Management (Page 9-2): Use your network to stack switches
without the need for any specialized cabling.
■ Port-Based VLANs — Page 9-48:
■ GVRP — Page 9-74:
■ Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP) — Page 9-88:
Use the switch to reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage on a per-port basis
by configuring IGMP controls.
■ Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (Page 9-99): Use STP to automatically
block loops in your network by ensuring that there is only one active path
at a time between any two nodes on the network.
For general information on how to use the switch’s built-in interfaces, see:
■ Chapter 2, “Using the Menu Interface”
■ Chapter 3, “Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)”
■ Chapter 4, “Using the Web Browser Interface
