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.
