Loop Guard
Loop guard protects against network loops on the edge of you network.
Double Tag Mode (DT)
For untagged packets, DT adds outer VLAN tag and inner VLAN tags. For tagged packets, DT adds
an outer VLAN tag.
System Monitoring
• System status (link status, rates, statistics counters)
• Temperatures, voltage reports and alarms.
Configurable Alarms
The system allows you to customize the priority levels of individual alarms and the alarm severity
threshold for recording alarms on an individual slot(s).
Alarm LED
An ALM (alarm) LED lights when the GLC1320G-55 is overheated, the voltage readings are outside
the tolerance levels, a fan fails, or another alarm with a severity level of MAJOR or CRITICAL
occurs.
IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN
Your GLC1320G-55 uses the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), which allows
it to deliver tagged/untagged frames to and from its ports. The IES supports up to 4094 individual
VLANs.
Multicast VLAN
Multicast VLAN is designed for applications (such as Media-on-Demand (MoD)) using multicast
traffic across an Ethernet ring-based service provider network. Multicast VLAN allows one single
multicast VLAN to be shared among different subscriber VLANs on the network. This improves
bandwidth utilization by reducing multicast traffic in the subscriber VLANs and simplifies multicast
group management.
IEEE 802.1x Port-based Authentication
The GLC1320G-55 supports the IEEE 802.1x standard for centralized user authentication and
accounting management through an optional network authentication (RADIUS) server.
Port Isolation
The GLC1320G-55's port isolation feature allows each port to communicate with the uplink port but
not communicate with each other. This option is the most limiting but also the most secure.
