13. Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous setting is used to configure output queue aging time, VLAN stride and IGMP
snooping.
 Output queue aging: This function is used to avoid the poor utilization of the switch. When a
packet is stored in a switch for a long time, it will expire from the allowable time defined by the
protocol and become a useless packet. To prevent these packets from wasting the bandwidth,
this switch provide an option for the administrator to enable the queue aging function.
 VLAN Striding: By selecting this function, the switch will forward uni-cast packets to the
destination port, no matter whether destination port is in the same VLAN.
 IGMP Snooping: When this function is enabled, the switch will execute IGMP snooping version
1 and version 2 without the intervention of CPU. The IGMP report and leave packets are
automatically handled by the switch.
