    The switch supports flow control based on the IEEE 802.3x standard. Port Mirroring – The switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any port to a monitor port. You can then attach a protocol analyzer or RMON probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify connection integrity.
  • Page 14 This buffer can queue packets awaiting transmission on congested networks. Virtual LANs – The switch supports up to 64 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network.

  • Page 15: Chapter 2: Initial Configuration

    This should be done before you permanently install the switch in the network. Follow this procedure: Place your EZ Switch close to the PC that you intend to use for configuration. It helps if you can see the front panel of the switch while working on your PC.

  • Page 32: Storm Control

    • Rate(number of frames per second) – The Rate field is set by a single drop-down list. The same threshold is applied to every port on the switch. When the threshold is exceeded, packets are dropped, irrespective of the flow-control settings.

  • Page 33: Port Mirroring

    Note: 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 should be used to ensure that the total ingress bandwidth never exceeds the egress bandwidth.
