NETGEAR FS108P - ProSafe Switch Application Notes page 6

4. Configure the NETGEAR Switches
4.1. Using the NETGEAR FS108P and FS116P
The FS108P and FS116P are unmanaged switches, therefore no configuration is necessary. The
FS108P and FS116P should be connected to the LAN by an auto-negotiation enabled uplink so
that 100Mbps Full Duplex operation can be enabled. IEEE 802.1Q tags should be stripped from
packets before the packets are sent to the FS108P or the FS116P.
With the unmanaged FS108P and FS116P switches, traffic prioritization is not supported by the
NETGEAR products. It is unlikely that the ports for the Avaya Media Server or Media Gateway
would be plugged directly into these small switches. More likely the NETGEAR switches would
be attached to the LAN and the telephones would access the Avaya Media Server and Media
Gateway over the corporate LAN. Since traffic prioritization is not supported by these switches
it is important to ensure that the connection of these switches to the corporate LAN provides
adequate quality of service.
4.2. Configure the NETGEAR FS726TP
The configuration presented here only covers the Avaya IP Telephones on the PoE ports and one
Port (26) for the uplink. The administration of the remaining ports for data applications is not
covered.
