or VLAN lists. Using access lists allows you select traffic based on Layer 2, Layer 3,
or Layer 4 information contained in each packet. Based on network policies, different
kinds of traffic can be marked for different kinds of forwarding.
Multicast Filtering – Multicast filtering is a system where network devices forward
multicast traffic only to the ports that are registered with the multicast group. Without
mulicast filtering the data packet will be broadcast to all endstations within a LAN or
VLAN. The purpose is to keep the non-multicast group members from receiving
unsolicited packets and to prevent a possible reduction in network performance. The
switch uses IGMP Snooping and Query to manage multicast group registration.
System Defaults
The switch’s system defaults are provided in the configuration file
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg.” To reset the switch defaults, this file should be set as
the startup configuration file (page 3-23).
