3.4 VLAN
3.4.1 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
Go to VLAN > IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
IEEE 802.1Q is a protocol for Ethernet frame carrying VLAN tag. The traffic is encapsulated so that a
number of logically separate VLANs can be carried by the same physical LAN.
The VLAN ID associates a frame with specific VLAN and provides the information that switches need to
process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and
contains two bytes for the TPID (Tag protocol Identifier, residing within the type/length filed of the Ethernet
frame) and two bytes for the TCI (Tag Control Information, starting after the source address field of the
Ethernet frame).
The CFI (Canonical Format Indicator) is a single-bit flag, always set to zero for Ethernet switches. If a
frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to
an untagged port. The remaining twelve bits define the VLAN ID are independent of each other. A frame
with VID (VLAN Identifier) of null (0) is called a priority frame, meaning that only the priority level is
significant and the default VID of the ingress priority frames and the value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the
maximum possible number of VLAN configurations is 4094.

Once the VLAN table is configured and maintained in GS-5008PL, frames will be handled by all
operations of VLAN configuration. These operations include the stripping or adding of the IEEE 802.1Q
tag.

3.4.2 Port-Based VLAN
Go to VLAN > Port-Based VLAN
The port-based VLAN feature worksas a filter, filtering out traffic destined to non-private domain ports. For each
received frame, the forwarding table (FDB) resolves theDAand obtains a forwarding vector (list of ports to which
the frame will be forwarded).The FDB then applies the VLAN filter to the forwarding vector, effectively masking
out the non-private domain ports. The frame is only forwarded to those ports that meet the FDB criteria, as well
as the port-based VLAN criteria.

3.5 Trunking
Go to Trunking > LACP
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may
want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a
high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
The Switch supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk
groups.
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at
the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an
operational port fails, then one of the “standby” ports become operational without user intervention.
Please note that:
You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for
LACP trunking.
LACP only works on full-duplex links.
All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow
control settings.
Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network
topology loops.

3.6 QoS
GS-5008PL provide Quality of Service (QoS) feature. Two kinds of QoS mechanism are provided for
traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch either of them by Web pages.
When Quality of Service (QoS) feature is enabled, traffic will be forwarded according to predefined setting
of port-based QoS or 802.1p QoS.
If QoS type is set to port-based, the priority is based on the incoming port of the traffic. The current queue
for each port is configured as below.
