74 6.3 Community Name and Security SNMP v.1 was not designed to be a secure protoco l. There is no true password, althou gh the string known as a community string does serve some of the same purpos es. SNMP-aware devices, such as this switch, often ship with well-known community strings.
75 6.4.2 MIB Groups Supported The following MIB-II groups are supported: • The System group – General information about the manag ed system, such as contact information and system name • The Int.
76 Chapter 7. Switching Concepts A bridge is a hardware device used to connect multiple n etworks into one big net work. However, when a bridge receives a broadcast from one i nterface, it will fo rward the frame to all interfaces and flood the wire, easily over whelming the network.
77 7.1.3 Port VLAN ID To allow untagged packets to participate in a VLAN, a Port VLAN ID (PVID) must be assigned in the relevant port(s). Each port on the switch has a default PVID of 1 (the default VLAN) and will receive both tagg ed and untagged frames.
78 Forward Delay After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the For war d Delay parameter regulates the dela y before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port begins forwarding tr affic too soo n (before a new root bridge has b een selected), the network can be adversely affected.
79 7.3.2 Flow Control With a link operating at a high data rate, a switch ma y experience occas ional limitations in the buffer space used to store Ethernet frames before fo rwarding them. In this situation, if the sendin g station continues to send frames, the switch will have no option but to disca rd the frames.
