Port name

Friendly name assigned to the port.

Flow control

When this option is enabled, the MSM317 uses Ethernet flow control when exchanging traffic
with a connected device.
If you are using the Rate limiting option to limit ingress traffic you should enable flow
control. This will ensure that a client device does not send traffic in excess of the ingress
limit (providing that the client device supports flow control). Excess traffic is dropped when
the Rate limiting option is enabled.

Power over Ethernet

(Only available on Port 1)
Enables power forwarding on Port 1 allowing a PoE device to be powered when connected to
this port. See

Quality of service

The quality of service (QoS) feature provides a number of different mechanisms to prioritize
traffic from the switch ports when it is forwarded on the Uplink port. This is useful when the
MSM317 handles traffic from multiple devices that have different data flow requirements.
Four egress traffic queues are defined on the Uplink port. In order of priority, the queues are:
Queue
1
2
3
4
Note
These queues are also used by traffic from the wireless network. To see how QoS is
implemented for wireless traffic, see the MSM7xx Controllers Management and
Configuration guide.
