8. Rate

Control

This function can limit the burst traffic rate for physical ports. The traffic could
be ingress traffic or egress traffic. This function can protect the network
bandwidth usage by different users.

9. IP Multicast with IGMP Snooping

IP multicast function can forward packets to a group of users connected on
different ports. The user group is learned by the switch from the packets from
IGMP active router with IGMP snooping function. It is often used for video
applications.

10. Protected Port

This function can protect a port from communicating with some other ports.
Even these ports are in the same VLAN. This protection is still valid. For
example, Port 1,2,3,4 are marked as protected ports. Port 1,2,3,4 cannot
communicate with each other, but they can communicate with the other ports.
This is for port isolation application though they are in the same VLAN.

11. Software Backup/Update

This switch supports backup and update functions for its internal software and
its network configuration. It could be done in three ways.

a. From console when booting: doing by Xmodem protocol and by terminal

program for boot code and run-time code updating.

b. From console/Telnet when running: doing by TFTP protocol and it will need a

TFTP server in network for run-time code and configuration backup/update.

c. From web browser: doing by http protocol and by web browser for run-time

code and configuration backup/update.
