Configurable on the Switch

4 management accounts configured on the Switch.
Authentication via RADIUS and TACACS+ also available.

VLAN

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be

partitioned into multiple logical networks. Devices on a logical network

belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With

VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not

in the same group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.

MAC Address Filter

Filter traffic based on the source and/or destination MAC address and

VLAN group (ID).

DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol)

Relay

Use this feature to have the Switch forward DHCP requests to DHCP

servers on your network.

IGMP Snooping

The Switch supports IGMP snooping, enabling group multicast traffic to

be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing

you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your Switch.

Queuing

Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is

network congestion. The following scheduling services are supported:

Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR). This

allows the Switch to maintain separate queues for packets from each

individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the

bandwidth.

Bandwidth Control

Bandwidth control means defining a maximum allowable bandwidth for

incoming and/or out-going traffic flows on a port.

Broadcast Storm Control

Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and

destination lookup failure (DLF) packets the Switch receives per second

on the ports.

Two Rate Three Color

Marker

Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM, defined in RFC 2698) is a type of

traffic policing that identifies packets by comparing them to two user-

defined rates: the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Peak

Information Rate (PIR).

Differentiated Services

(DiffServ)

With DiffServ, the Switch marks packets so that they receive specific

per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route

based on the application types and traffic flow.

Port Mirroring

Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic going from one or all ports to

another or all ports in order that you can examine the traffic from the

mirror port (the port you copy the traffic to) without interference.

Static Route

Static routes allow the Switch to communicate with management

stations not reachable via the default gateway.

Multicast VLAN Registration

(MVR)

Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications (such as

Media-on-Demand (MoD)) using multicast traffic across a network. MVR

allows one single multicast VLAN to be shared among different

subscriber VLANs on the network.
This improves bandwidth utilization by reducing multicast traffic in the

subscriber VLANs and simplifies multicast group management.

STP (Spanning Tree

Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid

STP)

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links

between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a Switch to interact with

other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to ensure that only

one path exists between any two stations on the network.

Loop Guard

Use the loop guard feature to protect against network loops on the edge

of your network.
