General options in this section:
- «Enable Switch » - this checkbox enables/disables global switch operation
- Max Sources - sets the maximum allowed number of records in the switch MAC address table. The default number of records is 5000.
- STP MINT mode - enables/disables the STP MINT mode. STP MINT mode is used to exclude the wired switches with the enabled STP protocol influence on the network operation. The mode blocks the BPDU frames of the STP protocol configured on wired switches so that the switch cannot detect the loop and block its ports. STP MINT mode in conjunction with the RSTP protocol enabled in the Infinet devices allows to break the loop and support the PRF protocol functioning that operates through the wired segment.

Disabling the switch in the absence of routing settings can lead to termination of packet transmitting through the device. |
- «Remove L3 Management» Management - by clicking this button you can delete the "sviX" interface, which is available in the default configuration, for the unit management
- «Create L3 Management» Management - by clicking this button you can add an "sviX" interface for the unit management via Web interface (please consult the configuration examples presented in chapter "Configuration scenarios").
«Switch "Switch Group configuration» configuration" section:

| Scroll Title |

| | Switch parameter | Description |
|---|
| Group # | - Displays the Switch Group number
- Assign the switch group identifier (must be unique within the MINT network segment)
| | Status | - Select the Switch Group status: started, stopped or discard
| | Interfaces | - Add Ethernet or/and Radio as Switch Group interface(s) via the «Ports» button
- "Select": pass (selected by default), strip or tag for VLAN tag modification for each added interface
- The Interfaces section provides the means to control the VLAN tag processing mode, as each local interface supports three different scenarios:
- "Pass" - transparent mode, traffic remains unchanged.
- "Strip" - all tags are stripped.
- "Tag" - all packets are tagged with the specified VLAN tag
- Another option in this field is to remove one or both added interfaces
| | STP | - Add an STP VLAN number in case that spanning tree support is enabled
| | Repeater | - Enable/disable repeater support
- The unit acts as a simple switch, relaying packets to all ports, except the source port
| | IGMP | - Enable/disable IGMP snooping support
- Please refer to the information provided in the next section for details
| | Flood | - Allow/deny unlimited unicast flood without protection filter
| | Inband | - Allow/deny access to the device through in-band broadcast/multicast management traffic
- It is enabled by default
| | Mode | - Set the working mode of the switching group: normal, trunk, in-trunk (give it the trunk group number created on the BS), upstream, downstream
- Normal (standard mode) - the switch group operation is based on the configured Rules, packets are processed without modification (this is the default option)
- Trunk - the inbound traffic is untagged and placed into switch groups in accordance with its VLAN tag
- In-Trunk - allows filtering out the traffic that belongs to a certain switch group that is a member of a trunk Switch Group
- Upstream - used mainly in video surveillance systems for upstream multicast flows
- Downstream - used in video surveillance systems for downstream traffic
| | Description | - Type a description sentence for the current switch group
| | Default Action | - Set the default action: permit/deny
- In the absence of any Switching rule, or if a packet does not match to any Switching rule, the default action for this group or interface is taken
| | Default QM Channel | - Allocate a default logical channel
- The default logical channel must be prior created in the "Traffic Shaping" section
- In the absence of any Switching rule, or if a packet does not match to any Switching rule, the default logical channel is allocated
- For the indications on how to create a logical channel, please refer to the "Traffic Shaping" section below
| | Default Priority | - Allocate the default priority for all the packets going through the Switch group:
- “Up to” - used to increase the packet priority to the specified value only if the processed packet has a lower priority
- “Set” - used to assign a new priority regardless of the value already assigned to the packet
- In the absence of any Switching rule, or if a packet does not match to any Switching rule, the default priority is allocated
