Port security allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC addresses to pass through a port on the switch. The switch can learn up to 16K MAC addresses in total with no limit on individual ports other than the sum cannot exceed 16K.
MAC addresses aged out. MAC address aging out time can be set in the Switch Setup screen. The valid range is from 0 to 16K. “0” means this feature is disabled, so the switch will learn MAC addresses up to the global limit of 16K.
Queuing algorithms allow switches to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the bandwidth. The switch has eight physical queues, Q0 to Q7. Q7 has the highest priority and Q0 has the lowest.
Chapter 17 Queuing Method 17.1.2 Weighted Fair Scheduling (WFS) Weighted Fair Scheduling is used to guarantee each queue's minimum bandwidth based on their bandwidth weight (portion) (the number you configure in the Weight field) when there is traffic congestion. WFS is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. Queues with larger weights get more guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
This field is applicable only when you select Weighted Fair Scheduling. Enable Select a queue (Q0 to Q7) to have the switch use Strictly Priority to service the subsequent queue(s) after and including the specified queue for the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports.

Select Fixed to have the switch always use the port as an IGMP query port. Select this when you connect an IGMP multicast server to the port.
If you want to add a single multicast IP address, enter it in both the Start Address and End Address fields. Click Add to save the settings to the switch. Clear Click Clear to clear the fields to the factory defaults.
Chapter 21 Multicast 21.5.1 Types of MVR Ports In MVR, a source port is a port on the switch that can send and receive multicast traffic in a multicast VLAN while a receiver port can only receive multicast traffic. Once configured, the switch maintains a forwarding table that matches the multicast stream to the associated multicast group.
You can create up to three multicast VLANs and up to 266 multicast rules on the switch. Your switch automatically creates a static VLAN (with the same VID) when you create a multicast VLAN in this screen. Figure 61 MVR VES-1616F-3x Series User’s Guide...
Multicast VLAN Enter the VLAN ID (1 to 4094) of the multicast VLAN. 802.1p Priority Select a priority level (0-7) with which the switch replaces the priority in outgoing IGMP control packets (belonging to this multicast VLAN). Mode Specify the MVR mode on the switch. Choices are Dynamic and Compatible.
Configure MVR IP multicast group address(es) in the Group Configuration screen. Click Group Configuration in the MVR screen. A port can belong to more than one multicast VLAN. However, IP multicast group addresses in different multicast VLANs cannot overlap. Figure 62 MVR > Group Configuration The following table describes the labels in this screen.

H A P T E R Differentiated Services This chapter shows you how to configure Differentiated Services (DiffServ) on the switch. 22.1 DiffServ Overview Quality of Service (QoS) is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the flow are given the same priority. You can use CoS (class of service) to give different priorities to different packet types.
Chapter 22 Differentiated Services Figure 67 DiffServ Network Example Switch A marks traffic flowing into the network based on the configured marking rules. Intermediary network devices 1 and 2 allocate network resources (such as bandwidth) by mapping the DSCP values and the associated policies.
22.3 DSCP-to-IEEE802.1p Priority Setting You can configure the DSCP (DiffServ Code Point) to IEEE802.1p mapping to allow the switch to prioritize all traffic based on the incoming DSCP value according to the DiffServ-to- IEEE802.1p mapping table. The following table shows the default DSCP-to-IEEE802.1P mapping.

Use Telco-50 cables to connect the VDSL LINE port to the user equipment (VDSL modem) and the POTS/ISDN LINE port to the central office switch or PBX (Private Branch Exchange). The following diagram shows the pin assignments that you need to have on the Telco-50 connectors on the Telco-50 cables.
In a serial communications connection, generally a computer is DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and a modem is DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). The Switch is DCE when you connect a computer to the console port. The following diagrams and chart show the pin assignments of the console cable.

VIII Appendices and Index The appendices provide general information. Some details may not apply to your Switch. Legal Information (295) Customer Support (299) Index (303)
P P E N D I X IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 120 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation).
Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Table 97 Subnet Masks BINARY OCTET 8-bit mask 11111111 16-bit mask 11111111 24-bit mask 11111111...
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Table 99 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation (continued) SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.192 255.255.255.224 255.255.255.240 255.255.255.248 255.255.255.252 Subnetting You can use subnetting to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.
Figure 122 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 2 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet’s address itself, all ones is the subnet’s broadcast address).
Table 104 Eight Subnets (continued) SUBNET SUBNET ADDRESS Subnet Planning The following table is a summary for subnet planning on a network with a 24-bit network number. Table 105 24-bit Network Number Subnet Planning NO. “BORROWED” HOST BITS The following table is a summary for subnet planning on a network with a 16-bit network number.
You must also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on the Switch. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address for your Switch that is easy to remember (for instance, 192.168.1.1) but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
IP Address Conflicts Each device on a network must have a unique IP address. Devices with duplicate IP addresses on the same network will not be able to access the Internet or other resources. The devices may also be unreachable through the network. Conflicting Computer IP Addresses Example More than one device can not use the same IP address.
Appendix A IP Addresses and Subnetting Conflicting Computer and Router IP Addresses Example More than one device can not use the same IP address. In the following example, the computer and the router’s LAN port both use 192.168.1.1 as the IP address. The computer cannot access the Internet.
Appendix B Legal Information FCC Warning This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital switch, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial environment. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
