Virtual Channel Settings

The switch enables fine tuning for a specific application, by configuring the parameters for eight
virtual channels. The first two virtual channels are reserved for switch internal functions and are not
available for modification.
The default virtual channel settings have already been optimized for switch performance. Changing
the default values can improve switch performance, but can also degrade performance. Do not
change these settings without fully understanding the effects of the changes.
The Virtual Channel Setting fields are as follows:
