1. Iiswitshi ezingalawulwayo
Okokuqala, makhe sithethe malunga nokutshintsha okungalawulwayo. Iiswitshi ezingalawulwayo zikwabizwa ngokuba ziiswiti zobudenge. Ukubeka nje, abacubunguli ngokuthe ngqo idatha, bafake nje intambo ye-Intanethi. Iswitshi engalawulwayo yeyesixhobo somaleko wedatha. Inokuchonga ulwazi lwedilesi ye-MAC kwipakethi yedatha, emva koko uyithumele ngokwedilesi ye-MAC, kwaye urekhode ezi dilesi ze-MAC kunye namachweba ahambelanayo kwitafile yedilesi yangaphakathi ngokwayo.

Inzuzo yayo kukuba kulula ukuyisebenzisa, iplagi kunye nokudlala, ingasetyenziswa kwinani elikhulu loluhlu, olulungele ukusetyenziswa kwiindawo ezinoxinano lwezixhobo zePC eziphezulu, kwaye zingabizi kwaye zinokugcina imali.

2. UTshintsho oluLawulwayo
Ukutshintshwa kolawulo lwenethiwekhi kuthetha ngokoqobo, ukutshintshela okunokulawulwa yinethiwekhi, kukho iindlela ezintathu zokulawula, ezinokulawulwa nge-port ye-serial, nge-Web, kunye ne-software yolawulo lwenethiwekhi. Idatha yokutshintshwa kolawulo lwenethiwekhi iya kuqwalaselwa ngeProtocol yoLawulo lweNethiwekhi elula (SNMP). Iprotocol ye-SNMP okwangoku iyeyona isetyenziswa ngokubanzi iprotocol yolawulo lwenethiwekhi esekwe kuthungelwano lwe-TCP/IP. Inokwenza idilesi yedatha, izibuko, uhlobo lweprotocol, inkonzo, njl.

Umsebenzi wenguqu elawulwayo kukugcina zonke izixhobo zenethiwekhi zikwimeko efanelekileyo. Imveliso yokutshintsha yolawulo womnatha ibonelela ngeendlela ezininzi zolawulo lwenethiwekhi ezisekelwe kwi-terminal control port (Console), esekelwe kwiphepha leWeb, kwaye ixhasa ukungena kwe-Telnet okude kwinethiwekhi. Ngoko ke, abalawuli benethiwekhi banokwenza ukubeka iliso kwexesha langempela lendawo okanye elikude lemo yokusebenza yokutshintsha kunye nesimo sokusebenza kwenethiwekhi, kwaye ulawule isimo sokusebenza kunye nemodi yokusebenza yazo zonke iizibuko zokutshintsha kwimbono yehlabathi.

Ziziphi iingenelo zokutshintsha okulawulwayo?
* I-bandwidth enkulu ye-backplane, isantya sokudlulisa idatha ngokukhawuleza;
* Kukho iintlobo ezininzi zezibuko ezinikezelweyo, kunye neefom ze-interface ezahlukeneyo ezifana ne-SFP, i-GE, i-Ethernet esheshayo, i-Ethernet, njl.
* Inkxaso yecandelo le-vlan, abasebenzisi banokwahlula imimandla yezicelo ezahlukeneyo, balawule ngokufanelekileyo kwaye balawule inethiwekhi, kwaye bacinezele ngakumbi izaqhwithi zokusasaza;
*Umthamo omkhulu wedatha, inqanaba elincinci lokulahleka kwepakethi, kunye ne-latency ephantsi;
* Ukudityaniswa kwekhonkco kuvumela ukutshintsha kunye nokutshintsha kunye neeseva ukuba zidityaniswe kunye ngamachweba amaninzi e-Ethernet ukufezekisa ukulinganisa umthwalo;
*Ukuhamba kolwazi lwedatha kunokulawulwa ngokusekelwe kumthombo, indawo ekuyiwa kuyo, kunye necandelo lothungelwano;
*Ngomsebenzi wokukhusela we-ARP, inokuphucula kwaye inciphise ubuqhetseba be-ARP yenethiwekhi;
*Idilesi ye-MAC inokubotshwa;
*Umsebenzi wokujonga isibuko unokukhuphela itrafikhi kunye nobume bezibuko elinye ukuya kwelinye izibuko lokutshintsha ukuze libe phantsi kweliso;
*Ukuxhasa umsebenzi weDHCP;
*Uluhlu lolawulo lokufikelela lunokulawula iipakethi zedatha ye-IP, njengokukhawulela i-traffic yayo, ukufikelela, kunye nokubonelela nge-QoS, njl.;
*Ngokusebenza kakuhle kokhuseleko, inokucoca kwaye itshixe iidilesi ze-MAC, kwaye inokwakha iitafile zokugqithisela ze-MAC ezimileyo;
*Inokuxhasa i-IEEE802.1Q kunye neVLAN esekwe kubuchwephesha bechweba. I-GVRP (i-GARP, i-VLAN Registration Protocol) kunye ne-GMRP (i-GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) ebandakanyekayo kwi-IEEE802.1QVLAN nayo ixhaswa ngokubanzi;
*Ngomsebenzi weSNMP, inokulawula ngcono kwaye ilawule inethiwekhi;
*Elula ukwandisa kunye nesicelo esiguquguqukayo, inokulawulwa ngesoftware yolawulo lwenethiwekhi, okanye ifikeleleke ukude ngolawulo lwayo lokufikelela, ukwandisa ukhuseleko kunye nokulawulwa kwenethiwekhi.
