III-4 VLAN This page allows user to configure each port of selected VLANs. Item Description Apply Click “Apply” to save the values. Port Designated port number. PVID Enter a Port VLAN ID for each port. Click “Create New VLAN” to enter new Create New VLAN VLAN settings.
III-5 Link Aggregation Link aggregation is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if, for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
Item Description LACP Global Select “Enable “or “Disable” to enable or disable State Link Aggregation Control Protocol. Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk.
Item Description Enable Mirror Enable/disable port mirroring. Select the mirror direction: Both( Ingress and Egress) Mirror Direction Ingress Egress Monitor Port Select the mirror destination port. Mirrored Port List Choose the destination of the mirrored port. Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
III-7-3. IEEE 802.1p QoS If QoS type is set to 802.1p, the priority is based on the incoming PCP field of the traffic. The current queue for each PCP is configured as below. PCP value Priority Acronym Traffic types 0 (lowest) Background 1 (default) Best effort...
Item Description WFQ(Weighted Fair Queue) Schedule Method Strict Priority WFQ weight options: Weight (WFQ Method ONLY) Click Apply to save the changes. Apply III-8 Broadcast Storm Control A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the network ports, creating traffic and impacting network performance in a negative way. The broadcast storm control feature prevents network ports from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or DLF (Destination Lookup Failure) traffic storm.
“Apply” to apply the settings. III-9 Rate Limiting When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5008E provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast packets in your network. Click the drop down menus to change the Ingress/Egress rate, and click “Apply”...
III-10 Loop Detect/Prevent GS-5008E provides a Loop Protection feature for unmanaged environments. There are two kinds of mechanism are available, which are Loop Detection and Loop Prevention. Users can choose to enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention. The Loop Discovery frame uses the system MAC as source address. When the port receives the discovery frame and found that the source MAC is the same as system MAC, loop is determined.
III-11 IGMP Snooping IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic to control delivery of IP multicasts. Network switches with IGMP snooping listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers and maintain a map of which links need which IP multicast transmission.
NOTE: While port trunking (LACP) is enabled, port trunking port can't be set as "Static Router Port Function Description Blocking Enable/disable Blocking Unknown Multicast filter Unknown Multicast Enable IGMP Snooping and select the “IGMP Static Enable IGMP Route port”. Snooping Apply.
