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.
CAUTION
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
• C
lean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
• Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
• Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources
Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and corrosive liquid

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!

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 Management 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.

Operation mode and Management port
To configure the operation mode and Management port in the WMI:
1. From the main menu, click Basic to display the basic installation page.
Figure 9. Operation mode and Management 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 Management 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 37).
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
Basic Configuration Options 37
Page 38
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration
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 con­figuration 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 Management 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.

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 44 shows a diagram of possible VLAN connections.

802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page. Then, select the radio button for 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN to display the configuration options.
Figure 16. 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN page
• VID (Virtual LAN ID): A number to identify the VLAN segment. Select from 1 to 4094.
• PVID (Port VID): An untagged member of the default VLAN. Select from 1 to 4094.
• 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.
In 802.1q, the VLAN information is written into the Ethernet packet itself. Each packet carries a VLAN ID (Virtual LAN ID) called a tag. This tag allows VLANs to be configured across multiple switches.
Note
VLAN tags may be stripped by the hardware or the software.
When using 802.1q, four bytes are added to the Ethernet frame, and 12 bits are used for the VLAN ID. Theo­retically, there can be up to 4096 VLANs per network.
An Ethernet packet that contains a VLAN ID is called a tagged packet. An Ethernet packet without a VLAN ID is called an untagged packet. Typically, all packets leave untagged, unless tagged by the adapter prior to arriving at the switch port.
Egress and Ingress Rules. Egress rules determine which frames can be transmitted out of a port, based on the Egress List of the associated VLAN. Each VLAN has an Egress List that specifies the ports out of which frames can be forwarded, and specifies whether the frames will be transmitted as tagged or untagged frames.
Ingress rules are a means of filtering out undesired traffic on a port. When Ingress Filtering is enabled, a port determines if a frame can be processed based on whether the port is on the Egress List of the VLAN associated with the frame.
When an untagged packet arrives at the switch port, the switch will write a VLAN ID into the header of the frame according to the PVID (port VLAN) definition. Typically, most switches today have all ports set to a default PVID of 1. When a tagged frame arrives at a switch port, the tag is respected.
A VID defines the member of a port group. A packet can only travel inside a member port when the member port is part of a VID port group. Different VID groups are not visible to one another.

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).
• 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.
• 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.

Figure 18. 802.1Q VLAN diagram
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 manually 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 VLAN­unaware 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.
Advanced Configuration Options 47
Page 48
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration
• 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 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.

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 20. 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.

Select the ports that the port-based priority rule should be applied. There are six ports to choose from: LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, DSL and Sniffing.
The common setting tables are:
WRR configuration: Each queue type can setup the queue weight from 1 to 15.
WFQ configuration: Each ports and their queue type can set the bandwidth.
Scheduling Configuration. The 2160 provides three combinations of four commonly used techniques: Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3. Select a type in the Scheduling Configuration section, then provide details in the corre­sponding table.
If you select Type 1, refer to “WRR Configuration” on page 52.
If you select Type 2 or Type 3, refer to “WFQ Configuration” on page 52.
The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Best Effort (BE) and Strictly Priority (SP). Refer to the following page for more information on how each Queue Type operates.
Advanced Configuration Options 50
Page 51
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration
• Weight Round Robin (WRR): All received packets will be stored into Queue 1, Queue 2, Queue 3, and
Queue 4. Assign a weight value for each queue. Then, WRR will re-assemble all packets from the four queues based on the weight assignments.
Figure 22. WRR Example
For example, Figure 22 shows the weight value of each queue, ranging from 4, 2, 5, and 1. When the 2160 starts to process all of the packets in these queues with WRR, a new packet develops based on the weight assignments. Then, the 2160 sends out the new packet.
• Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ): WFQ is a generalization of processor sharing, which allows several ses-
sions to share the same link. Refer to “WFQ Configuration” on page 52 to assign the data size of each queue that can be accepted by each port.
• Best Effort (BE): The BE Queue Type is used for data applications that have low priority or the potential to
delay. BE does not use traffic priority or weight assignments, therefore BE is not recommended for high pri­ority data, such as video or voice.
Advanced Configuration Options 51

Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration
• Strictly Priority (SP): The SP Queue Type uses queues that are based on priority only. SP transmits the
highest priority queue first, then the next highest priority queue, and so on. However, if there is always some content in the highest priority queue, then the other packets in the rest of queues will not be sent until the highest priority queue is empty. The SP algorithm is preferred when the received packets contain some high priority data, such as voice and video.

Configuration Example. As an example, you can set the Model 2160 to 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 provide each queue before moving on to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with strict priority queuing.

• Packets with priority 6 and priority 7 go to Queue 1.
• When, data flow traffic is jammed:
- Queue 1 Packets will go first because weight is equal to 15 (the biggest value).
- Queue 3 Packets will go next because the weight is the second largest value.
- Queue 2 Packets are the next after Queue 3 Packets.

Limiting bandwidth to specific users and ports helps control network congestion, ensure high performance, create efficient networks, and prevent a small number of users from monopolizing network bandwidth.
Rate limiting control can be used to intelligently manage bandwidth allocation in the networking. It can pre­vent one user or device from dominating the available network bandwidth, and it allows IT managers to allo­cate greater bandwidth to the departments and applications that need it.
You can set up the data rate limit on each port from 0 to 22. The data rates available are 00 (No limit), and the Ingress Rate x 1024kbps. The default setting is No limit on each port.

Remote Management Hosts
The Remote Management Host section of the Security Administration page enables you to set up the legal IP addresses from which authorized persons can configure the Model 2160. This is the most secure way for the network administrator to set up the legal address of configuration.
Figure 48. Remote Management Host section
A configuration of 0.0.0.0 will allow all hosts on Internet or LAN to access the Model 2160. If you leave the trusted host list completely blank, you will block all PCs on the WAN from accessing the Model 2160. On the other hand, only PCs in the LAN can access the Model 2160. If you type the exact IP address in the filed, only that host can access the Model 2160.
Click Finish to commit your changes. The browser will prompt the configured parameters and check it before writing into NVRAM. Press Restart to reboot the Model 2160 with the new settings. Click Continue to con­figure other options.
SNMP Administration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides for the exchange of messages between a network management client and a network management agent for remote management of network nodes. These mes­sages contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes in order to obtain statistics, set con­figuration parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP communications can occur over the LAN or WAN connection.
The Model 2160 can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community strings to implement SNMP security. This Model 2160 support both MIB I and MIB II.

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 mode <Disable|8021Q|Port>

802.1Q VLAN. To modify the VLAN rule, move the cursor to modify and press Enter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), Best Effort (BE), and Strictly Priority (SP).
• Weight Round Robin (WRR): All received packets will be stored into Queue 1, Queue 2, Queue 3, and
Queue 4. Assign a weight value for each queue. Then, WRR will re-assemble all packets from the four queues based on the weight assignments.
• Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ): WFQ is a generalization of processor sharing, which allows several ses-
sions to share the same link.
• Best Effort (BE): The BE Queue Type is used for data applications that have low priority or the potential to
delay. BE does not use traffic priority or weight assignments, therefore BE is not recommended for high pri­ority data, such as video or voice.
• Strictly Priority (SP): The SP Queue Type uses queues that are based on priority only. SP transmits the
highest priority queue first, then the next highest priority queue, and so on. However, if there is always some content in the highest priority queue, then the other packets in the rest of queues will not be sent until the highest priority queue is empty. The SP algorithm is preferred when the received packets contain some high priority data, such as voice and video.

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.
Table 26. VLAN Tag Priority Levels
Priority Level Traffic Type
0 (default) Best Effort
1 Background 2 Spare 3 Excellent Effort 4 Controlled Load 5 Video, less than 100 milliseconds latency and jitter 6 Voice, less than 10 milliseconds latency and jitter 7 Network Control
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.
Set up queue index (0, 1, 2 or 3) on each DSCP:

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.
