“Low Queue Delay Bound” option. Low Queue Delay Bound: This controls how low priority packets are queued in the switch. The Max Delay Time setting defines when a low priority packet is given more priority to send. Broadcast Storm Filter: To configure broadcast storm control, enable it and set the upper threshold for individual ports.
802.1x Protocol: Enables or disables the 802.1x port security protocol. 2.4.3 Console Port Information The Console port on the 24 + 2 Giga SNMP Ethernet Switch is a standard RS-232 UART interface. This is used to connect to the serial interface on your PC, or terminal.
2. Auto Negotiation: Used to set the auto-negotiation mode. Settings are: Auto, Nway and Forced. # Auto instructs the switch to learn the parameters of the device connected. # Nway instructs the switch to use the Nway protocol to instruct devices connected to the port of its defined parameters.
This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network, such as another switch or a server, and also provide redundancy features. 1. System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
4. Work ports: Allows a maximum of four ports to be aggregated at the same time. If the group is defined as a LACP static trunking group, then any extra ports selected are placed in a standby mode for redundancy if one of the other ports fails.

There are 0~7-priority levels that can be mapped to either the high or low queues. QosMode Options: First Come First Served, All High before Low, High/Low Queue Service Ratio. The “High/Low Queue Service Ratio” enables the switch administrator to determine the ratio of high priority packets sent against low priority packets. - 48 -...
4.2.8. MAC Address Configuration 4.2.8.1 Static MAC Address When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address after it has been disconnected or powered-off from the network, and then reconnected at some time later.

5.0 Application Examples: 5.1 VLAN applications used with switch. A VLAN is a simple option to protect your network against broadcast storms by creating segments based on Layer2 Ethernet information. It avoids the complexity and heavy processing requirements of Layer3 IP based routers, while providing some similar functionality.
You can group users according to some shared characteristic, such as a common business function or a common protocol. A single switch may have several independent VLAN’s within it. Below is an example with an R&D, Manufacturing and Administration department that has been partitioned into two different VLAN groups.
