DHCP Server

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a means of passing

configuration information (including the IP address of a TFTP server and a

configuration file name) to hosts on a TCP/IP network. The switch can serve

as a DHCP server or client.
For more information on the device serving as a DHCP server, see "SNMP" on

page 161.

Protected Ports

The Protected Ports feature provides Layer 2 isolation between interfaces

(Ethernet ports and LAGs) that share the same Broadcast domain (VLAN)

with other interfaces.
For more information, see "Protected Ports" on page 255.

Proprietary Protocol Filtering

This feature enables user control over the filtering of packets with proprietary

protocols such as CDP, VTP, DTP, UDLD, PaGP, and SSTP. The user can

select any combination of the protocols to be filtered, for example: CDP and

VTP.
For more information, see "Proprietary Protocol Filtering" on page 255.

Identifying a Switch via LED

The switch provides the ability to turn on a LED (through the GUI interface)

for a specific length of time.
For more information, see LED Definitions.
