WEB-BASED BROWSER MANAGEMENT

remotely control and centralized the power management simply by using a Cat5

cable to deliver both power and data.

PoE Configuration

PoE Enabled: When enabled (checked), you can use the port to supply power to

the attached — and thus, powered — device (PD), which in turn allows you to

remotely access that device and monitor its status.

PD Class: This indicates the PD’s classification (Class 0-4).

Delivering Power (W): This is the port’s output power.

Current (mA): This is the port current.

Voltage (V): This is the port voltage.

Power Budget (%): This is the percentage of power usage.

Storm Control

Broadcast storms can occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning or

if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too

much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded —

even to the point where everything comes to a complete halt. You can protect your

network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for each

port. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped.

Storm Control Configuration

There are three types of traffic that can be rate limited: Broadcast Rate, Multicast

Rate and Flooded Unicast Rate.

The Rate field (number of frames per second) is

set by a single drop-down list since the same threshold is applied to every port on

the switch. In other words — regardless of the flow-control settings — when the

threshold is exceeded, packets are dropped.
