Dynamic VLAN Assignment (DVA) - The system supports Dynamic VLAN assignment
based on 802.1x RADIUS Attributes. A predefined VLAN is assigned to a new user/port, after
successful authentication of that user/port.
Forwarding/Filtering of Unregistered Multicast Frames - This feature enables to configure
how to handle MC Frames that belong to unregistered MC groups.
Unregistered MC groups are the groups that are not known to the switch. The switch learns
about MC groups by IGMP Snooping, or by static configuration.
Normally, MC frames are always flooded to all ports in the VLAN. If IGMP Snooping is
enabled, the switch learns about existence of MC groups and keeps track of which ports have
joined to which MC group. This enables the switch to forward the MC frames (from a
registered MC group) only to ports that are registered to that MC group. All unregistered MC
frames, i.e., the MC frames that do not belong to a registered MC group, are still flooded to all
ports on the VLAN.
The “Forwarding/Filtering of Unregistered MC Frames” feature enables to configure whether
to forward or to filter these MC frames.
STP BPDU Guard - BPDU Guard is used as a security mechanism to protect the network
from invalid configurations.
