Page 40: Qos (Quality Of Service)
Default gateway This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in different subnet. Invalid gateway setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet. Primary DNS Primary DNS is the primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses. Secondary DNS Secondary DNS is a secondary domain name server that backups the primary DNS.
Page 41: Snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol)
QoS allows providing differentiated service levels for different types of traffic packets, which guarantees delivery of priority services especially when network congestion occurs. Adapting the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model, traffic flows are classified and marked with DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint) values, and thus receive the corresponding forwarding treatment from DiffServ capable routers.
