The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance enhancing
features. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks
caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm suppression prevents
broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. Untagged (port-
based), tagged, and protocol-based VLANs, plus support for automatic
GVRP VLAN registration provide traffic security and efficient use of network
bandwidth. CoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving
real-time multimedia data across the network. While multicast filtering
provides support for real-time network applications.
Some of the management features are briefly described below.
