7. QoS Setting
Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes network traffic and manages available bandwidth so that
the most important traffic goes first. QoS is implemented as rules or policies that prioritize
packets, optionally change information in the packet header, and assign them to outbound port
queues based on their priority.
7.1 Priority Mode
Each switch port has four types of outbound traffic queues based on priority: First-In-First-Out,
All-High-before-Low and Weight-Round-Robin.
The queue priority determines the order of exit for packets in the queue. For example, packets
in a high priority queue leave the switch before packets in other queues.
Please click QoS Setting Priority Mode
Page 33
There are three Priority Modes to select.
First-in-First-Out: The first receiving packet will be firstly transmitted.
All-High-before-Low: All packets will be assigned to either Q2 (high) piority queue or Q1
(low) priority queue.
Weight-Round-Robin: set the ratio of the transmitting packet for the low priority to high
priority.
When the queue weight is set to "0", it will be treated as "8"
The "low wieght" and "high weight" means the ratio of the packet in the
transmit queue. For example,
If "low weight" and "high weight" are set to "3" and "5", the ratio of the
trasmit packet for the low priority to high priority is 3/5.
Page 34
7.2 Class of Service
You can set QoS mode of per port by different bases.
Please click QoS Setting Port, 802.1p, IP/DS based
As long as any of three COS schemes(802.1p,IP TOS/DS or Port Base) is mapped to "high",
the data packet will be treated as the high priority.
Enable is High Priority
Page 35
7.3 Class of Service Configuration
Please click QoS Setting TCP/UDP Port Based
Base on different protocol, you can choose four different types of Class of Service for each
TCP/UDP port number -First-in-First-out, Discard, High Priority or Law Priority to control the
incoming packet.
The Class of Service for TCP/UDP port number allows the network administrator to assign the
specific application to a priotity queue.
F-I-F-O: The incoming packet will be forwared in first-in-first-out scheme.
Discard: The incoming packet will be discarded at the source port.
Page 36
High: The incoming packet will be forwareded with the high priority.
Low: The incoming packet will be forwareded with the Low priority.
The mask defines which bit is ignored within the IP address bit 0 ~ bit 7.
For example, UDP/TCP port = 65535 and mask = 5,this means 65530, 65531, 65534 and
65535 are all taken into account. UDP/TCP port =65535 and mask=0, this means only
65535 is taken into account.
TCP/UDP Port QoS function: When the "override" item is selected, the Port_based,
Tag_based, IP TOS_based, CoS listed above will be ignored.

8.2 Service Protocol Filter
You can enable or disable this function of per port.
Please click Security Service Protocol Filter
Function: setting Disable / Enable the function.
Port Filtering Rule: The outgoing packet with selected protocol will be either forwarded or
dropped at secure WAN port as the figure shown below.
Page 39
"negative" means the selected protocol will be dropped and other protocols will be
forwarded.
"positive" means the selected protocol will be forwarded and other protocol will be
dropped.
Protocol: choose protocols which you want.
Secure WAN Port: choose secure ports which you want.
1. The secure WAN port should be set at the physical port which is
connected to the server.
2. Once this function is enabled, the switch will check the destination
TCP/UTP port number at the outgoing direction of the secure WAN port.
** If the condition matches, this packet will be dropped or forwarded.
3. The description of Secure WAN port is shown on the bottom of this
screen.

9. Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Protocol(STP) allows only one active path at a time between any two network
devices (this prevents the loops) but establishes the redundant links as a backup if the initial link
should fail. If STP costs change, or if one network segment in the STP becomes unreachable, the
spanning tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning tree topology and reestablishes the link by
activating the standby path. Without spanning tree in place, it is possible that both connections
may be simultaneously live, which could result in an endless loop of traffic on the LAN.
9.1 STP Bridge Settings
This setting is to avoid the loop network.
Please click Spanning Tree STP Bridge Setting
Page 41
STP Mode: choose “Disable”, “STP” or “RSTP”
Bridge Priority: Set the priority of the Bridge.
Hello Time: Provides the time period between root bridge configuration messages.
Max Age: Indicates when the current configuration message should be deleted.
Forward Delay: Provides the length of time that bridges should wait before transitioning
to a new state after a topology change. (If a bridge transitions too soon, not all network
links might be ready to change their state, and loops can result.)
Click “Save” to confirm and finish the setting.
9.2 STP Port Setting
Please click Spanning Tree STP Port Setting
Port No.: Choose Port 1 ~ Port 26
Page 42
Priority: Setting 0~ 240
RPC: The RPC= Root Path Cost: 0 = AUTO. When the loop is found, the STP/RSTP will
calculate the cost of its path.

10. Trunking (Link aggregation)
Link aggregation can aggregate multiple Ethernet ports together to form a logical aggregation
group. To upper layer entities, all the physical links in an aggregation group are a single logical
link.
Link aggregation is designed to increase bandwidth by implementing outgoing/incoming load
sharing among the member ports in an aggregation group. Link aggregation group also allows for
port redundancy, which improves connection reliability.
Page 43
Please click Trunking Link Aggregation Setting
There are two groups to choose and each group is 4 ports and the third group is for 2 ports.
This standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), a mechanism for allowing
ports on both sides of a redundant link to configure themselves into a trunk link (aggregate link),
without the need for manual configuration of the ports into trunk groups.
When you enable link aggregation on a group of Brocade ports, the Brocade ports can negotiate
with the ports at the remote ends of the links to establish trunk groups.
Page 44
Member: Choose link group port.
State: Choose Enable / Disable the link group function.
Type: The IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enables the dynamic
aggregation of physical links and The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is defined in
IEEE 802.3ad. It uses link aggregation control protocol data units (LACPDUs) for information
exchange between LACP-enabled devices. With the usage of preserved fields in LACPDUs,
LACP can deliver extended functions in addition to its basic functions.
Static: switch and switch between must be fixed and setting Link Aggregation
Group(LAG) function.
LACP: switch sides set to LACP mode, The ports on the switch through asking way to
check whether to join LAG, If there to join LAG, LACP connection can be achieved,
otherwise they skipped LACP connection.
Activity: Both switches use “LACP” to configure the Trunk, at least one of them should be
“Active”.
Active:Set the port in this category will take the initiative to ask link port whether the
LACP trunk. If yes, Join the Manage Connections in LACP
Passive:The main can reply to active, and passive connectivity to reach LA CP.

11. DHCP Relay Agent
11.1 DHCP Relay Agent
Since DHCP clients request IP addresses via broadcast messages, the DHCP server and
clients must be on the same subnet. Therefore, a DHCP server must be available on each
subnet. It is not practical.
DHCP relay agent solves the problem. Via a relay agent, DHCP clients communicate with a
DHCP server on another subnet to obtain configuration parameters. Thus, DHCP clients on
different subnets can contact the same DHCP server for ease of centralized management and
cost reduction.
Please click DHCP Relay Agent DHCP Relay Agent
DHCP Relay State: Select DHCP Relay function Disable or Enable.
DHCP Relay Hops Count Limit (1-16): The maximum numbers of DHCP relay agents
that will handle DHCP relayed traffic. The maximum value is 16 hops.
Page 46
DHCP Relay Option 82 State: The DHCP Information option (Option 82) is commonly
used in metro or large enterprise deployments to provide additional information on
“physical attachment” of the client. Option 82 is supposed to be used in distributed DHCP
server/relay environment, where relays insert additional information to identify the client’s
point of attachment. You can select the function Disable or Enable.
Click “Save” to confirm and finish the setting.
Your DHCP server must be configured to accept DHCP option 82. If the
server is not configured for DHCP option 82, the server does not use the
DHCP option 82 information in the requests sent to it when it formulates its
reply messages
