2.3 Features and Benefits

Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs

Magnum 6K8-Series Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at

once) performance with standard Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) included.

They are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 16 100Mb or 8+2 Gigabit ports for

backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.

Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization

The Magnum 6K8-Series switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing

priority-to-priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-

and application-specific priorities of data, the QoS software may be configured.
