  • Page 37: Configuring Rate Limits

    Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.

  • Page 39: Port Broadcast Control

    The same percentage threshold is applied to every port on the switch. When the threshold is exceeded, packets are dropped, irrespective of the flow control settings.

  • Page 40: Port Mirroring

    If the total ingress bandwidth exceeds the mirror port's egress bandwidth, packets will eventually be dropped on ingress to the switch which means they will not reach the mirror port or their intended destination port. Input rate-limiting in conjunction with port flow-control could be used to ensure that the total ingress bandwidth never exceeds the egress bandwidth.

  • Page 41: Trunks Membership

    This is the default state. • Trunk T1-T8 – These columns correspond to the eight trunks that are supported by the Switch. Clicking on the radio button in any one of these columns causes the port to become a member of the corresponding trunk.

  • Page 45 VLAN 1. You can add up to seven VLANs to the configuration of the switch. Each VLAN must be given a VLAN ID in the range 2-4094. One port can be a member of up to eight VLANs. All packets travelling through the switch are associated with one and only one VLAN.
  • Page 46 ONFIGURING THE WITCH tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames. When set to receive all frame types, any received frames that are untagged are assigned to the default VLAN. PCs should be connected to ports with Packet Type set to “All”.

  • Page 47: Qos Settings

    QoS (Quality of Service) is a mechanism which is used to prioritize certain traffic as it is moves through the switch. Traffic can be classified as High or Normal priority and, when the switch is heavily loaded, it is the Normal priority packets that are dropped first.
  • Page 48 ONFIGURING THE WITCH table appears and you are able to select up to ten IP Ports for prioritization. Prioritized port numbers can be in the range 0 - 65535 inclusive. The specified ports will be given either normal or high priority depending on the value selected in the Priority drop-down list.
