Destination MAC - All traffic with the same destination MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk. ■ This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address is the same for all traffic.
LACP Setting The LACP (link aggregation control protocol) dynamically aggregates ports and removes aggregations. LACP interacts with its peer by sending LACPDUs (link aggregation control protocol data units). Web Smart switch interface To arrange LACP settings, Click Configuration, Link Aggregation, LACP Setting. Enable LACP on the switch.
Static VLAN Table Setting The VLAN (virtual local area network) technology is developed for switches to control broadcast operations in LANs. By creating VLANs in a physical LAN, you can divide the LAN into multiple logical LANs, each of which has a broadcast domain of its own. Hosts in the same VLAN communicate with each other as if they are in a LAN.
■ VLAN Name – Name of the VLAN (1-100 characters) VLAN Port Setting Arranging VLAN attributes for specific interfaces, including the default Port VLAN identifier (PVID). Web Smart switch interface To specify attributes for VLAN port members, Click Configuration, VLAN, VLAN Setting. Select one or more ports or trunks to configure.
VLAN-Stacking Table Setting Set the stacking VLAN membership for selected interfaces to be part of the Service Provider VLAN (S-VLAN), that is uplink ports for a 802.1Q Tunnel. This stacking VLAN is used to segregate and preserve customer VLAN IDs for traffic crossing the service provider network. The switch supports up to 64 S-VLAN IDs. Web Smart switch interface To manage stacking VLAN port members, Click Configuration, VLAN Stacking, S-VLAN Table.
Vlan Stacking Setting After configuring port members for stacking VLANs on the switch, the ports connected to a service provider network need to be enabled as doubled tagged ports. Also the Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) value must be set for the doubled-tagged ports to identify 802.1Q tagged frames. Web Smart switch interface To manage stacking VLAN port settings, Click Configuration, VLAN Stacking, S-VLAN Setting.

is detecting network loops. Where more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled. (Range: 0-240, in steps of 16; Default: 128) ■ P2P - The link type attached to an interface can be set to automatically detect the link type, or manually configured as point-to-point or shared medium.
Quality of Service (QoS) QoS is the evaluation on the service ability of network delivery or on the capacity of dealing with situations such as delay, delay jitter and packet loss rate in packet delivery. Port-based Priority Setting Management of the default port priority for each port on the switch. Web Smart switch interface To configure global settings for Spanning Tree: 1.
DSCP-based Priority Setting The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a six-bit field in the IP header, allowing coding for up to 64 different forwarding behaviors. The DSCP replaces the ToS bits, but it retains backward compatibility with the three precedence bits so that non-DSCP compliant, ToS-enabled devices, will not conflict with the DSCP mapping.
Priority to Queue Mapping Setting The QoS technique known as class of service (CoS), is a 3-bit field within an Ethernet frame header when using tagged frames on an 802.1 network. So up to eight separate traffic priorities are defined in IEEE 802.1p. Always can map the priority levels to the switch’s output queues in any way that benefits application traffic for our own network.
Packet Scheduling Setting You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before lower priority queues are serviced, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), or Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue.
to the sum of the weights of all queues. (This is the default selection.) Weight-round-robin - Share bandwidth at the egress ports by using the scheduling weights for queues 1 ■ through 8 respectively. WRR specifies a relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage of service time the switch services each queue before moving on to the next queue.
■ LLDP Status - Enable LLDP on the switch. (Default: Disabled) ■ Transmission Interval - Configure the periodic transmit interval for LLDP advertisements. (Range: 5-32768 seconds; Default: 30 seconds) This attribute must comply with the following rule: (Transmission Interval * Transmission Hold Time) ≤ 65536, and Transmission Interval ≥...
