D-Link DES-3010PA User Guide Feature MAC Multicast Support MDI/MDIX Support Multiple Spanning Tree Password Management Port Based Authentication Port Based Virtual LANs Port Mirroring Description Multicast service is a limited broadcast service, which allows oneto-many and many-to-many connections for information distribution. Layer 2 Multicast service is where a single frame is addressed to a specific Multicast address, from where copies of the frame are transmitted to the relevant ports. The device automatically detects whether the cable connected to an RJ-45 port is crossed or straight through, when auto-negotiation is enabled. Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Dependent Interface (MDI) and the standard wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX). Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) operation maps VLANs into STP instances. MSTP provides differing load balancing scenario. Packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths within MSTP Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more MSTP bridges by which frames can be transmitted. The standard lets administrators assign VLAN traffic to unique paths. Password management provides increased network security and improved password control. Passwords for SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP access are assigned security features. For more information on Password Management, see "Managing Passwords". Port based authentication enables authenticating system users on a per-port basis via an external server. Only authenticated and approved system users can transmit and receive data. Ports are authenticated via the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Port-based VLANs classify incoming packets to VLANs based on their ingress port. Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from a monitored port to a monitoring port. Users specify which target port receives copies of all traffic passing through a specified source port. Page 254
