3.1.3.1 Port Rate
Port Rate is used to control Broadcast Storms.
Select the type of rate control from the table, the options are: limit all frames, limit just
multicast and flooded unicast frames (these are the unknown unicast frames and includes
broadcast frames), limit just multicast frames (including broadcast) and limit just
broadcast frames. The range for the 100M ports is 62kps to 100,000kbps and for the
Gigabit ports 62 kbps to 256,000kbps. If the speed is set to 0 the restricted speed is
disabled.
Select Apply> once changes have been made.

3.1.3.2 VLAN
VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow one network to be divided into multiple logical
subnets. The terminal equipment connected to the ports of a switch in the same VLAN
are able to communicate with each other as defined by their logical relationship rather
than their physical connectivity.
Once in this menu select <Add> to set up a new VLAN. Enter a VLAN name and VLAN ID,
VLAN1 is the default for the switch so the range of ID numbers that can be set is from 2
to 4093.
The members of the VLAN need to be set as either tagged or untagged. If a port is set to
be untagged it is an access port. This is used to connect an end station that is VLAN-
unaware, this port provides connectivity through the switch without the actual end
station being required to support VLAN tagging. If a port is untagged the priority of the
port can be set from 0 to 7.
