Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on
your bench.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and
replacing cards.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the
chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages
to ground.
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist
strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
General observations
lean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
• C
• Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
• Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources

Introduction
The Patton CopperLink™ Model 2160 simplifies and provides cost effective network extension by utilizing
pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure enables service providers to offer broadband or data backhaul services to
businesses, governments, and various institutions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more
than ever, operators are finding the business case for leveraging their existing copper networks to be highly
attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.
Typical application
Patton’s CopperLink Auto-Rate Ethernet Extenders are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high speed
Ethernet Extension. They allow customers to take advantage of the existing copper infrastructure to connect
remote LAN’s across distances and at speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest
speed is achieved on each connection, and the plug-n-play operation ensures they are up and running in seconds. Add in the 4 x auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with the integrated crossover
switch to make setup even easier. The value of these Ethernet Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature—The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically determines the best possible rate for
each connection and sets up each extender without any need for user interface.
• Plug-and-Play—Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end of the extension, power them up, and
they are up and running. It doesn’t get any easier!
• High Speed/Long Reach—These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combination of speed and distance
seen anywhere in the industry!

Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 4 • Web configuration
Introduction
The Model 2160 provides a browser interface that allows you to configure and manage the Ethernet Extender.
Make sure that the PC you use for configuration has an Ethernet adapter and TCP/IP installed. After you set
up the IP address for the 2160, you can access the Ethernet Extender's Web interface applications directly in
your browser by entering the IP address. You can then use your Web browser to manage and configure the unit
from a PC.
Setting Up the WMI
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web Management Interface (WMI). The WMI
is an HTML-based management interface that allows you to easily set-up and manage the Model 2160.
The Model 2160 offers all monitoring and management features that allow users to manage this Model 2160
form anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Internet Explorer.
TCP/IP setup
When DHCP is enabled, the Model 2160 acts as a DHCP server in your network. The Model 2160 will automatically assign IP address for the management port connection.
To set up TCP/IP on a Windows PC:
1. Click the Start button. Select the Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Network icon.
3. In the Configuration window, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has been associated with your network
card and then click the property icon.
4. Click on the IP address tab and select Obtain IP address automatically. Click OK.
System Login
You may use a web browser such as Internet Explorer on your PC to connect the Model 2160. Type “http://”
and the IP address like as “http://192.168.1.1”.
The default IP address and sub net-mask of the MGMT port of the Model 2160 are 192.168.1.1 and
255.255.255.0. If DHCP is disabled, your PC can set the same net-mask such as 192.168.1.x where x is a
number from 2 to 254.

1. From the main menu, click Basic to display the basic installation page.
Figure 9. Operation mode and MGMT port setup page
2. For Operation Mode, select the radio button for CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) or CO (Central
Office). When using a “LAN to LAN” connection, one side must be set as CO and the other side must be
set as CPE.
3. Enter information for the MGMT port. The Model 2160 requires an IP address to be managed over the
network. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask specifies the network number
portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 . You can configure another IP
address and a different subnet mask for management purposes.
– IP: 192.168.1.1
– Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
– Host Name: SOHO
Some ISP providers require the Host Name as identification. You may check with your ISP to see if your
Internet service has been configured with a host name. In most cases, you can ignore this field.
4. Select an option for Trigger DHCP Service. If you don't need the DHCP service, select Disable.
5. Click Next to commit your changes and continue to the DHCP Server page (see “DHCP server” on
page 36).
DHCP server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network administrators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up
the users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another
location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator
supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a
computer is plugged into a different place in the network. The embedded DHCP server assigns network con-
Basic Configuration Options 36
Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 4 • Web configuration
figuration information to 253 users (max) accessing the Internet in the same time. For example, if the LAN IP
address is 192.168.0.1, the IP range of the LAN is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
To set up the DHCP Server for the Model 2160:
1. Click on Basic from the main menu, set up the Operation Mode and MGMT port, then click Next to
reach the DHCP Server page.
2. The DHCP server assigns the IP from the Start IP Address to the End IP Address. The legal IP address
range is from 0 to 255, but 0 is reserved as the network name and 255 is reserved for broadcast. This
implies that the legal IP address range is from 1 to 254. That means you cannot assign an IP greater than
254 or less than 1.
3. A Lease Time of 72 hours indicates that the DHCP server will reassign IP information every 72 hours.,
which is the default value for the Model 2160. You can set up the Lease Time for a range from 1 to 720
hours according to your application.
4. If you assign a fixed IP address to a device while using DHCP, you must enter the device's MAC address in
the Table of Fixed DHCP Host Entries.
5. Click Next to commit your changes and continue to the LAN page (see “LAN” on page 37).

Select the desired SNR Margin value from the drop-down list. SNR margin is an index of line connection
quality. You can see the actual SNR margin in STATUS. You will experience better line connection quality for
larger SNR margin values.
For example, if you set the SNR margin is 5, the LINE connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR
margin is lower than 5. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line
connection quality. You may select the SNR margin from the range -10 to 21.
Line Probe
For adaptive mode applications, set the Line Probe to Enable. The Model 2160 will adapt the data rate accord-
ing to the line status. The screen will prompt the parameters that will be written in NVRAM. Check the
parameters before writing in NVRAM.
For all other applications, set the Line Probe to Disable.
Click Restart to reboot the Model 2160 with the new settings. Click Continue to configure other options.

VLAN
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page.
Figure 14. VLAN page
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.
With MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the
subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network resources
of another on the same LAN.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical
broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each every individual port.
With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.
You can select from two types of VLAN: 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN and Port-Based VLAN. The VLAN Setup
screen changes depending on whether you choose 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type.
The IEEE 802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure.
Figure 15 on page 43 shows a diagram of possible VLAN connections.

Tag-Based VLAN Overview. Figure 17 shows the breakdown of the VLAN tag field.
Figure 17. VLAN tag field
The Tag Control Information (TCI) section of a VLAN tag includes information on the user Priority level,
the Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) and VLAN ID (VID).
Advanced Configuration Options 44
Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 4 • Web configuration
• Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) is a defined value of 8100 in hex. When a frame has the EtherType equal to
8100, this frame carries the tag IEEE 802.1Q / 802.1P.
• User Priority defines the priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with
0 being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. IEEE 802.1P defines the operation for these
3 user priority bits.
• Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) is always set to zero for Ethernet switches. CFI is used for compatibility
reasons between an Ethernet-type network and Token Ring-type network. If a frame received at an Ethernet
port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to an untagged port.
• VLAN ID (VID) is the unique identification number of the VLAN, which is used by the standard 802.1Q.
It has 12 bits and allows the identification of 4096 (212) VLANs. Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is
used to identify priority frames and the value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN configurations are 4,094.
The Model 2160 initially configures one VLAN by default, VID=1. A port such as LAN1–4, line or sniffing
can have only one Port VID (PVID), but can have as many VID groups as the Model 2160 has memory in its
VLAN table to store them.
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domin thus increase network performance
through reduced boardcast traffic. You can modify VLAN groups at any time by adding, moving or changing
ports without any re-cabling.

Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Tagging. Before enabling VLANs for the Model 2160, you must first assign each
port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN1 as untagged
ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate
network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs. Then, assign ports on the
other VLAN-aware network devices along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either man-

ually or dynamically using Generic VLAN Routing Protocol (GVRP). However, if you want a port on this
Model 2160 to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network devices nor the host
at the other end of the connection supports VLANs, then you should add this port to the VLAN as an
untagged port.
Note VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-
unaware network inter-connection devices, but the VLAN tags
should be stripped off before passing it on to any end-node host that
does not support VLAN tagging.
• VLAN Classification - When the Model 2160 receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If
the frame is untagged, the Model 2160 assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default
VLAN ID of the receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the Model 2160 uses the tagged VLAN ID to
identify the port broadcast domain of the frame.
• Port Overlapping - You can use port overlapping to allow access to commonly shared network resources
among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers.
• Untagged VLANs - Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to
increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate
from other VLANs configured on the Model 2160. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.
• Port VID (PVID) - A PVID is a VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Default:
1). If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to this VLAN, the interface will
automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be
configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to that group.
• Link Type - The Link Type determines the types of frames the port can accept. Access means the port can
only receive or send untagged frame types. Trunk means that the port can only receive or send tagged frame
types.

Port-Based VLAN
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page. Then,
select the radio button for Port-Based VLAN to display the configuration options.
Figure 19. Port-Based VLAN page
Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address
and its associated port. When using the port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user or system attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in
the same VLAN. The network administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration
is static and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
As with other VLAN approaches, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other VLAN
domains on the network. After a port has been assigned to a VLAN, the port cannot send to or receive from
devices in another VLAN.
The default setting for port-based VLANs (shown in Figure 19) is that all of ports are connected so that all
ports can communicate with each other. Essentially, there are no virtual LANs. This option is the most flexible
but the least secure.
If you click the LAN1 to LAN4 only with line and Sniffing (as shown here),
there are port isolation means that each LAN’s port can only communicate
with management port and cannot communicate with each other. This option
is the most limiting but also the most secure.

• PVID (Port VID): An untagged member of the default VLAN. Select from 1 to 4094.
• TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier): Enter 33024 for IEEE802.1Q .
• Link Type: Select from Access or Trunk. Access means the port can receive or send untagged packets. Trunk
means that the port can receive or send tagged packets.
A VLAN tag uses the tag protocol identifier (TPID) field to identify the protocol type of the tag. The value of
this field, as defined in IEEE 802.1Q, is 0x8100 (33024).
Figure 21. VLAN Tag structure of an Ethernet frame
On devices of different vendors, the TPID of the outer VLAN tag of QinQ frames may have different default
values. You can set or modify this TPID value, so that the QinQ frames, when arriving at the public network,
carries the TPID value of a specific vendor to allow interoperation with devices of that vendor.
The TPID in an Ethernet frame has the same position with the protocol type field in a frame without a VLAN
tag. To avoid chaotic packet forwarding and receiving, you cannot set the TPID value to any of the values in
table 8 on page 49.

Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be
dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the network inadequate for time-critical application such as video-on-demand.
Click on QoS under Advanced on the main menu to reach the QoS advanced configuration page.
Figure 22. QoS page
QoS (Quality of Service) is used to decide which devices can get priorities to pass though the Model 2160 once
the bandwidth is exhausted or fully saturated.
There are three types of QoS priority modes: Port Based Priority, VLAN Tag Priority and IP DSCP Priority.
You can also disable the QoS function.

Port Based Priority
Click on QoS under Advanced on the main menu to reach the QoS advanced configuration page. Then, select
the radio button for Port Based Priority to display the configuration options.
Figure 23. QoS - Port Based Priority page
In the Port Based Priority table, select the ports that the port-based priority rule should be applied. There six
ports to choose from: LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, line and Sniffing.
In the Scheduling Configuration section, you can set up the Queue type from type 0 to type 3. Each Queue
type can setu p the queue Weight from 1 to 15.
The Queuing method is used to configure queuing algorithms for outgoing traffic. Queuing algorithms allows
the Model 2160 to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a
source from monopolizing the bandwidth.
The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Best Effort (BE), and Strictly Priority (SP).
• WRR services on a rotating basis and is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. A
queue is a given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that port. The queue then
moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the
end of the list, and so on, depending on the number of queues being used, This works in a looping fashion
until a queue is empty.
• BE is used for data applications or any non-classified traffic. This would include e-mail, Internet browsing,
data back-up etc. The BE class is for traffic that can afford to wait and not affect the overall outcome of the
data application.
• SP services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the Model 2160, traffic on the highest prior-
ity queue, Q3 is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q2
transmitted until Q2 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q1 and so on. If higher priority queues
never empty, then traffic on lower priority never gets sent. The SP class is typically for video applications
that require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be considered good quality.

Figure 24. QoS - VLAN Tag Priority page
VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has
an 802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this Ethernet Extender), these tagged frames can carry VLAN
membership information.

Priority defines the user priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with 0
being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. Each Priority level can be set queue from 0 to 3.

In the Scheduling Configuration table, you can set up the type of QoS operation from 1 to 3. You can also set
up the Queue Weight from 1 to 15.
WRR Scheduling Configuration Example. For example, you
can set the Model 2160 use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the
percentage of service time to services each queue before moving on
to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can
occur with strict priority queuing.

IP DSCP Priority
Differentiated Services Overview. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service (CoS) model that
enhances best-effort Internet services by differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria.
Packets are specifically marked, allowing network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for
video playback, voice calls or other delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.
DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (ToS) field in the IP
header. The DS field contains a 2-bits unused field and 6-bits DSCP field which can define up to 64 service
levels. Figure 27 shows the DS field:
Figure 27. Differentiated Services field
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels (26=64) of service determines the forwarding behavior that each
packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies. Table 11 shows how the bits are used in the DSCP field.

The standardized DiffServ field of the packet is marked with a value so that the packet receives a particular forwarding treatment at each network node. RFC 2597 defines the assured forwarding (AF) classes. There are
four AF classes, AF1x through AF4x. Within each class, there are three drop probabilities. Depending on a
given network's policy, packets can be selected for a PHB based on required throughput, delay, jitter, loss, or
according to priority of access to network services. Classes 1 through 4 are referred to as AF classes.
Table 12 illustrates the DSCP coding for specifying the AF class with the probability. Bits 0, 1, and 2 define the
class; bits 3 and 4 specify the drop probability; bit 5 is always 0.

VLAN
Virtual LAN (VLAN) is defined as a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they
can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Because VLAN is based on logical instead of physical connections, it is extremely flexible.
You can setup the Virtual LAN (VLAN) parameters in VLAN command. The Model 2160 supports VLANto-PVC only for bridge mode operation, i.e., the VLAN spreads over both the CO and CPE sides, where there
is no layer 3 routing involved. The unit supports up to 8 active VLANs with shared VLAN learning (SVL)
bridge out of 4096 possible VLANs specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
The vlan command menu lists commands for setting up the line port. Move the cursor “ >>” to vlan in the
setup menu and press Enter. The following menu displays:
>>
mode Trigger virtual LAN function
modify Modify virtual LAN table
pvid Modify port default VID
link_mode Modify port link type
list Show VLAN configuration
To activate the VLAN function, move the cursor “ >> “ to mode and press Enter. The products support two
types of VLAN: 802.1Q and Port-Based.
802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of
VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure. Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port.
Mode
You can choose from two types of VLANs: 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN or Port Based VLAN. If you are not
going to use the VLAN function, set this option to Disable.

Command: setup vlan modify <1~8> <0~4094> <string>
Message: Please input the following information.
VLAN table entry index <1~8>: 1
VID value (ENTER for default) <1>: 10
VLAN port membership (ENTER for default) <111111>:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VLAN Port membership ris represented with 1 or 0. VLAN port membership is a 6-digit binary number
in which bit 0 to bits 5 represent LAN1 to LAN4, line and Sniffing ports respectively.
For example: [
setup vlan modify 1 10 111111
] means use index as 1 , VID = 10 and all six ports are the same
membership (VLAN ID=10).
Use the pvid command to change the member port to untagged members:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: setup vlan pvid <1~6> <1~4094>
Message: Please input the following information.
Port index <1~6>:
VID value (ENTER for default) <1>:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PVID (Port VID) is an untagged member from 1 to 4094 for the default VLAN.
For example:
[ set vlan pvid 1 100]
[ set vlan pvid 2 100]
[ set vlan pvid 3 100]
[ set vlan pvid 4 100]
[ set vlan pvid 5 100]
[ set vlan pvid 6 100]
This example shows that all untagged members of all ports all have the same membership (VLAN ID=100).
To modify the link type of the port, move the cursor to link_mode and press Enter. There are two types of link:
access and trunk. A Trunk link will send the tagged packet form the port. An Access link will send an
untagged packet from the port. The port index 1 to 4 represents LAN ports. Index 5 represents line, and index
6 represents Sniffing.

Port-Based VLAN. With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user
or system attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the same
VLAN. The network administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration is static
and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
You can set up Port-Based VLAN using the method for 802.11Q. However, VID , PVID or link type do not
matter for Port-Based VLAN. Use the list command to check the status of the VLAN.

QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be
dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the network inadequate for a time-critical application such as video-on-demand.
The qos command menu lists commands for managing traffic. Move the cursor “ >>” to qos in the setup menu

The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Best Effort (BE), and Strictly Priority (SP).
• WRR services on a rotating basis and is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. A
queue is a given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that port. The queue then
moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the
end of the list, and so on, depending on the number of queues being used, This works in a looping fashion
until a queue is empty.
• BE is used for data applications or any non-classified traffic. This would include e-mail, Internet browsing,
data back-up etc. The BE class is for traffic that can afford to wait and not affect the overall outcome of the
data application.
Setup Command Menu 80
Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 5 • Console and Telnet configuration
• SP services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the Model 2160, traffic on the highest prior-
ity queue, Q3 is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q2
transmitted until Q2 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q1 and so on. If higher priority queues
never empty, then traffic on lower priority never gets sent. The SP class is typically for video applications
that require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be considered good quality.

VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has
an 802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this Ethernet Extender), these tagged frames can carry VLAN
membership information.
Priority defines the user priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with 0
being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. Each Priority level can be set queue from 0 to 3.

For example, you can set the Model 2160 to use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing (Type 1) that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the
percentage of s time to services for each queue before moving on to the next queue.

IP DSCP Priority QoS
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service (CoS) model that enhances best-effort Internet services by
differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria. Packets are specifically marked, allowing
network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for video playback, voice calls or other
delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels (26=64) of service determines the forwarding behavior that each
packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network administrators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up
the users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another
location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator
supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a
computer is plugged into a different place in the network.
