EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of them from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determined that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through Bridges C and A because this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Reconfiguration Once the network topology has stabilized, each bridge listens for Hello BPDUs transmitted from the Root Bridge at regular intervals. If a bridge does not receive a Hello BPDU after a certain interval (the Max Age time), the bridge assumes that the Root Bridge, or a link between itself and the Root Bridge, has gone down. This will trigger the bridge to reconfigure the network to account for the change.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions y Bridge C is the Designated Bridge for LAN segment 3, because it has the lowest Root Path Cost for LAN Segment 3: ¾ The route through Bridges C and B costs 200 (C to B=100, B to A=100) ¾ The route through Bridges Y and B costs 300 (Y to B=200, B to A=100) y The Designated Bridge Port for LAN Segment 3 is Port 2 on Bridge C. Using STP on a Network with Multiple VLANs IEEE Std 802.

Factory Default 200000 Port Status Indicates the current Spanning Tree status of this port. “Forwarding” for normal transmission, or “Blocking” to block transmission.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The Traffic Prioritization Concept What is Traffic Prioritization? Traffic prioritization allows you to prioritize data so that time-sensitive and system-critical data can be transferred smoothly and with minimal delay over a network. The benefits of using traffic prioritization are: y Improve network performance by controlling a wide variety of traffic and managing congestion. y Assign priorities to different categories of traffic.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Even though the IEEE 802.1D standard is the most widely used prioritization scheme in the LAN environment, it still has some restrictions: y It requires an additional 4-byte tag in the frame, which is normally optional in Ethernet networks. Without this tag, the scheme cannot work. y The tag is part of the IEEE 802.1Q header, so to implement QoS at layer 2, the entire network must implement IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The EDS-516A supports two different queuing mechanisms: y Weight Fair: This method services all the traffic queues, giving priority to the higher priority queues. Under most circumstances, this method gives high priority precedence over low-priority, but in the event that high-priority traffic exceeds the link capacity, lower priority traffic is not blocked.
EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Port Highest Priority Setting Enable/Disable Description Set the Port Priority of the ingress frames to “High” queues. Factory Default Disable Description Select the option to enable the EDS-516A to inspect the Type of Service (TOS) bits in IPV4 frame to determine the priority of each frame.
