The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following pointers:
Note: Your switch model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to replace IP version 4
(IPv4). The IPv6 address protocol meets the current requirements of new applications
and the never ending growth of the Internet. The IPv6 address space makes more
addresses available but it must be approached with careful planning. Successful
deployment of IPv6 can be achieved with existing IPv4 infrastructures. With proper
planning and design, the transition between IP version 4 and 6 is possible today as well.
Use the IPv6 Interface page to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the logical
interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via all of the switch's front-panel
ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch's network interface do
not affect the configuration of the front-panel ports through which traffic is switched or
routed.

The RMON (Remote MONitoring) MIB is used with SNMP applications to monitor the
operations of network devices. The Switch supports the four RMON MIB groups listed
here:
Statistic group— This group is used to view port statistics remotely with SNMP
programs.
History group— This group is used to collect histories of port statistics to
identify traffic trends or patterns.
Event group— This group is used with alarms to define the actions of the
switch when packet statistic thresholds are crossed.
Alarm group—This group is used to create alarms that trigger event log
messages or SNMP traps when statistics thresholds are exceeded.
You can use your SNMP Network Management System (NMS) software and the RMON
section of the MIB tree to view the RMON statistics, history and alarms associated with
specific ports. Since RMON uses the SNMP agent for communicating with your NMS
software, the SNMP Agent must be enabled and the SNMP feature must be configured
on your switch. Since RMON works in conjunction with the SNMP agent, the SNMP
agent must be enabled for the RMON feature to be active.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”

RMON histories are snapshots of port statistics. They are taken by the switch at
predefined intervals and can be used to identify trends or patterns in the numbers or
types of ingress packets on the ports on the switch. The snapshots can be viewed with
your SNMP NMS software with the history group of the RMON portion of the MIB tree.
A history group is divided into buckets. Each bucket stores one snapshot of statistics of a
port. A group can have from 1 to 50 buckets. The more buckets in a group, the more
snapshots it can store.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”

statistics for the port. Each bucket can store one snapshot of RMON statistics.
Different ports can have different numbers of buckets. The range is 1 to 50
buckets.
Interval: This parameter specifies how frequently the switch takes snapshots of
the port’s statistics. The range is 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). For example, if
you want the switch to take one snapshot every minute on a port, you specify
an interval of sixty seconds.
Owner: This parameter is used to identify the person who created an entry. It is

RMON alarms are used to generate alert messages when packet activity on designated
ports rises above or falls below specified threshold values. The alert messages can take
the form of messages that are entered in the event log on the switch or traps that are
sent to your SNMP NMS software or both.
RMON alarms consist of two thresholds. There is a rising threshold and a falling
threshold. The alarm is triggered if the value of the monitored RMON statistic of the
designated port exceeds the rising threshold. The response of the switch is to enter a
message in the event log, send an SNMP trap, or both. The alarm is reset if the value of
the monitored statistic drops below the falling threshold.
The frequency with which the switch samples the thresholds of an alarm against the
actual RMON statistic is controlled by a time interval parameter. You can adjust this
interval for each alarm.
Here are the three components that comprise RMON alarms:
RMON statistics group: A port must have an RMON statistics group configured
if it is to have an alarm. When you create an alarm, you specify the port to
which it is to be assigned not by the port number, but rather by the ID number
of the port’s statistics group.
RMON event: An event specifies the action of the Switch when the ingress
packet activity on a port crosses a statistical threshold defined in an alarm. The
choices are to log a message in the event log of the Switch, send an SNMP trap
to an SNMP workstation, or both. Since there are only three possible actions
and since events can be used with more than one alarm, you probably will not
create more than three events.
Alarm: The last component is the alarm itself. It defines the port statistic to be
monitored and the rising and falling thresholds that trigger the switch to
perform an event. The thresholds of an alarm can have the same event or
different events. The switch supports up to eight alarms.

Interval: This parameter specifies the time (in seconds) over which the data is
sampled. Its range is 1 to 2147483647 seconds.
Variable: This parameter specifies the RMON MIB object that the event is
monitoring.
Sample type: This parameter defines the type of change that has to occur to
trigger the alarm on the monitored statistic. There are two choices from the
pull-down menu - Delta value and Absolute value. Delta value- setting
compares a threshold against the difference between the current and previous
values of the statistic. Absolute value- setting compares a threshold against the
current value of the statistic.
Rising Threshold: This parameter specifies a specific value or threshold level of
the monitored statistic. When the value of the monitored statistic becomes
greater than this threshold level, an alarm event is triggered. The parameter’s
range is 1 to 2147483647.
Falling Threshold: This parameter specifies a specific value or threshold level of
the monitored statistic. When the value of the monitored statistic becomes less
than this threshold level, an alarm event is triggered. The parameter’s range is
1 to 2147483647.
Rising Event Index: This parameter specifies the event index for the rising
threshold. Its range is 1 to 65535. This field is mandatory and must match an
Event Index that you previously entered in “Events”.
Falling Event Index: This parameter specifies the event index for the falling
threshold. Its range is 1 to 65535. This field is mandatory and must match an
Event Index that you previously entered in “Events”.

Port - Specifies the port number. The All value indicates ports 1 through 10 on
the Switch. You cannot change this parameter. You can use the All row value in
the Port column to apply Admin Status, Mode, Jumbo, Flow Contrl, EAP, BPDU
settings to all ports at the same time.
Trunk - This parameter indicates the trunk group number. A number in this
column indicates that the port has been added to a trunk using static or
dynamic 802.3ad LACP link aggregation.
Type - This parameter indicates the port type. On the Switch, the port type is
1000TX for 10/100/1000Base-T twisted-pair ports (1-8) and 100FX or 1000TX
for the SFP ports (9-10) for fiber SFP type.
Link Status - This parameter indicates the status of the link between the port
and the end node connected to the port. The possible values are:
Admin. Status: This parameter indicates the operating status of the port. You

can use this parameter to enable or disable a port. You may want to disable a
port and prevent packets from being forwarded if a problem occurs with the
node or cable connected to the port. You can enable the port to resume
normal operation after the problem has been fixed. You can also disable an
unused port to secure it from unauthorized connections. The possible values
are:
oIgnore -This parameter applies to the All row only and indicates that
the Admin. Status field must be set individually for each port.
oEnabled - This parameter indicates the port is able to send and receive
Ethernet frames.
oDisabled - This parameter indicates the port is not able to send and
receive Ethernet frames.
port. You can use this parameter to set the speed and duplex mode of a port.
The possible settings are:
oIgnore -This parameter indicates that the All setting does not apply to
the Mode field. In other words, each port is set individually.
oAuto -This parameter indicates the port is using Auto-Negotiation to
set the operating speed and duplex mode. The actual operating speed
and duplex mode of the port are displayed in parentheses (for
example, “1000/F” for 1000 Mbps full duplex mode) after a port
establishes a link with an end node.
oAuto (1000F) -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
1000Mbps operation in Auto-Negotiation mode.
o1000/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for
1000Mbps operation in full-duplex mode.
o100/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 100Mbps
operation in full-duplex mode.
o10/Full -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Mbps
o100/Half -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 100Mbps
operation in half-duplex mode.
o10/Half -This parameter indicates the port is configured for 10Mbps
operation in half-duplex mode.
Note: When selecting a Mode setting, the following points apply:
o When a twisted-pair port is set to Auto-Negotiation, the end node should
also be set to Auto-Negotiation to prevent a duplex mode mismatch.
o A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects
that the end node is not using Auto-Negotiation. This can result in a
mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed duplex
mode of full-duplex to a switch port, disable Auto-Negotiation on the port
and set the port’s speed and duplex mode manually.
o The only valid setting for the SFP ports is Auto-Negotiation.
Jumbo: This parameter indicates whether or not jumbo frames can be accepted
by the switch. You may want to activate jumbo frames when your switch will
transmit video and audio files. The possible values are:
oIgnore -This parameter indicates that the All setting does not apply to
the Jumbo field. In other words, each port is set individually.
oEnabled -This parameter indicates the port is permitted to accept
jumbo frames.
oDisabled -This parameter indicates the port is not permitted to accept
jumbo frames.
Note: When QoS is enabled on a port, the Jumbo frame parameter cannot be
enabled.
Flow Ctrl: Flow Control, This parameter reflects the current flow control setting
on the port. The switch uses a special pause packet to notify the end node to
stop transmitting for a specified period of time. The possible values are:
oIgnore - This parameter indicates that the All setting does not apply to
the Flow Control field. In other words, each port is set individually.
oEnabled - This parameter indicates that the port is permitted to use
flow control.
EAP: This parameter reflects the current Extensible Authentication Protocol
BPDU: This parameter reflects the current BPDU setting on the port. The

(EAP) setting on the port. The possible values are:
oIgnore - This parameter indicates that the All setting does not apply to
the EAP field. In other words, each port is set individually.
oEnabled - This parameter indicates that the port is able to send and
receive EAP packets.
oDisabled - This parameter indicates that the port is disabled and is not
able to send or receive EAP packets.
possible values are:
oIgnore - This parameter indicates that the All setting does not apply to
the BPDU field. In other words, each port is set individually.
oEnabled - This parameter indicates that the switch will pass BPDU
frames through the switch and broadcast them through all other
ports.
oDisabled - This parameter indicates that the switch will not pass BPDU
frames through the switch, With RSTP or STP enabled, the switch will
receive BPDU frames and process them according to the spanning tree
protocol.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides network topology for any arrangement of
bridges/switches. STP also provides a single path between end stations on a network,
eliminating loops. Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an
extended network can cause bridges to forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in
increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on Spanning Tree, and click on Protocol.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
Global STP Status: Select the STP state on the device. The possible field values
are:
o Disable – Disables STP on the device. This is the default value.
o Enable – Enables STP on the device.
Protocol Version: Specifies the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) mode to enable
on the switch. The possible field values are:
o STP – Enables STP 802.1d on the device.
o RSTP – Enables Rapid STP 802.1w on the device. This is the default
value.
oMSTP – Enables Multiple STP 802.1s on the device.
Bridge Priority: The Bridge Priority has a range 0 to 61440 in increments of
4096. To make this easier for you, the Web Management Utility divides the
range into increments. You specify the increment that represents the desired
bridge priority value.
Maximum Age: The Maximum Age defines the amount of time a port will wait
for STP/RSTP information. MSTP uses this parameter when interacting with
STP/RSTP domains on the boundary ports. Its range is 6 - 40 seconds
Hello Time: The Hello Time is frequency with which the root bridge sends out a
BPDU.
Forward Delay: The Forward Delay defines the time that the bridge spends in
the listening and learning states. Its range is 4 - 30 seconds.
Transmit Hold Count: The Transmit Hold Count specifies the maximum number
of BPDUs that the bridge can send per second. Its range is 1 - 10.
Max Hop Count: The Max Hop Count is a parameter set in a BPDU packet when
it originates. It is decremented by 1each time it is retransmitted by the next
bridge. When the Hop Count value reaches zero, the bridge drops the BPDU
packet. Its range is 6 - 40 hops.
In addition, this section also displays the spanning tree root information.

on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on Spanning Tree, and click on Port.
3. Review the settings. For each entry, click Apply to save changes.
STP Status: Indicates if spanning tree protocol is active or not on the port.
Select one of the following choices from the pull-down menu:
o Enable - The spanning tree protocol is enabled on the port.
o Disabled - The spanning tree protocol is disabled on the port.
Note: BPDU passthrough must be disabled for all ports under Physical
interface for STP can be enabled.
Priority: Indicates the port priority. If two paths have the same port cost, the
bridges must select a preferred path. In some instances this can involve the use
of the port priority parameter which is used as a tie breaker when two paths
have the same cost.
The range for port priority is 0 to 240. As with bridge priority, this range is
broken into increments, in this case multiples of 16. To select a port priority for
a port, you enter the desired value. Table 1 lists the values that are valid.
Valid Port Priority Values
Admin Cost (0 = Auto): The administratively assigned value for the contribution
of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root. Writing a
value of '0' assigns the automatically calculated default Path Cost value to the
port. If the default Path Cost is being used, this object returns '0' when read.
External Cost: This defines a metric that indicates the relative cost of
forwarding packets to the specified port list. Port cost can be set automatically
or as a metric value. Define a value between 1 and 200000000 to determine
the external cost. The lower the number, the greater the probability the port
will be chosen to forward packets. The default port cost: 100Mbps port =
200000. Gigabit port = 20000.
Status – Displays the current port spanning tree status.
oBlocking - A blocking state does not allow network traffic to be sent or
received on a the port except for BPDU data. A port with a higher path
cost to the root bridge than another on the switch causes a switching
loop and is placed in the blocking state by the Spanning Tree
algorithm. The port’s state may change to the forwarding state if the
other links in use fail and the Spanning Tree algorithm determines the
port may transition to the forwarding state.
oListening - This state occurs on a port during the convergence process.
The port in the listening state processes BPDUs and awaits new
information that would cause the port to return to the blocking state.
oLearning - While the port does not yet forward frames (packets), in
this state the port does learn source addresses from frames received
and adds them to the filtering (switching) database.
oForwarding - A port that both receives and sends data. This indicates
normal operation. STP continues to monitor the port for incoming
BPDUs that indicate the port should return to the blocking state to
prevent a loop.
oDisabled - This state is not strictly part of STP. However, a network
administrator can manually disable a port.
Edge: Indicates if a port is connected to an edge device in the network topology
or not. Selecting the Forcetrue parameter designates the port as an edge port.
Edge ports cannot create loops, however an edge port can lose edge port
status if a topology change creates a potential for a loop. An edge port
normally should not receive BPDU packets. If a BPDU packet is received, it
automatically loses edge port status. Selecting the Forcefalse parameter
indicates that the port does not have edge port status. Selecting the Auto
parameter indicates that the port have edge port status or not have edge port
status automatically. The default setting for this parameter is Auto.
P2P: Choosing the Forcetrue parameter indicates a point-to-point (P2P) shared
link. P2P ports are similar to edge ports however they are restricted in that a
P2P port must operate in full-duplex.
Like edge ports, P2P ports transition to a forwarding state rapidly thus
benefiting from RSTP. A P2P value of Forcefalse indicates that the port cannot
have P2P status. Auto allows the port to have P2P status whenever possible
and operate as if the P2P status were true. If the port cannot maintain this
status, (for example if the port is forced to half-duplex operation) the P2P
status changes to operate as if the P2P value were Forcefalse.
The default setting for this parameter is Auto.
Restricted Role: Toggle between True and False to set the restricted role state
of the packet. If set to True, the port will never be selected to be the Root port.
The default value is False.
Restricted TCN: Toggle between True and False to set the restricted TCN of the
packet. Topology Change Notification (TCN) is a BPDU that a bridge sends out
to its root port to signal a topology change. If set to True, it stops the port from
propagating received TCN and to other ports. The default value is False.
Migrate: Indicates if the port is configured to accept RSTP and STP BPDUs.

VLAN
Tagged
Network > VLAN > Tagged
A VLAN is a group of ports that can be anywhere in the network, but communicate as
though they were in the same area.
VLANs can be easily organized to reflect department groups (such as R&D, Marketing),
usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (multimedia applications such as
video conferencing), and therefore help to simplify network management by allowing
users to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change any physical
connections.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on VLAN, and click on Tagged VLAN.
3. Review the settings.
VLAN ID – Enter the VLAN ID for the new VLAN.
VLAN Name – Enter the VLAN name.
Management VLAN – Click the drop-down list and select Enabled to allow
access to the switch management page through the new VLAN. If you want to
restrict management access through this VLAN, select Disabled.
Note: By default, the default VLAN VID 1 is set as the Management VLAN.
Tagged/Untagged/Not Member VLAN Ports
On a port, the tag information within a frame is examined when it is received to
determine if the frame is qualified as a member of a specific tagged VLAN. If it is, it is
eligible to be switched to other member ports of the same VLAN. If it is determined that
the frame’s tag does not conform to the tagged VLAN, the frame is discarded.
Since these VLAN ports are VLAN aware and able to read VLAN VID tagged information
on a frame and forward to the appropriate VLAN, typically tagged VLAN ports are used
for uplink and downlink to other switches to carry and forward traffic for multiple VLANs
across multiple switches. Tagged VLAN ports can be included as members for multiple
VLANs. Computers and other edge devices are not typically connected to tagged VLAN
ports unless the network interface on these device can be enabled to be VLAN aware.
Select the tagged VLAN ports to add to the new VLAN.
Untagged VLAN ports are used to connect edge devices (VLAN unaware) such as
computers, laptops, and printers to a specified VLAN. It is required to modify the Port
VID settings accordingly for untagged VLAN ports under Bridge > VLAN > Port Settings.
(e.g. If the VID for the VLAN is 2, the PVID should also be set to 2)
Select the untagged VLAN ports to add to the new VLAN.
In the sections Static Tagged, Static Untagged, and Not Member, you can add the type
of VLAN ports to add to the new VLAN (Tagged or Untagged) and assign ports that are
not members (Forbidden) of the new VLAN.

Private
Network > VLAN > Private
The private VLAN feature allows you to create a more secure VLAN that is completely
isolated to its members and cannot communicate with other VLANs. A private VLAN
partitions the Layer 2 broadcast domain of a VLAN into subdomains, allowing you to
isolate the ports on the switch from each other. A subdomain consists of a primary
VLAN and one or more secondary VLANs. All VLANs in a private VLAN domain share the
same primary VLAN. The secondary VLAN ID differentiates one subdomain from
another. The secondary VLANs may either be isolated VLANs or community VLANs. A
host on an isolated VLAN can only communicate with the associated promiscuous port
in its primary VLAN. Hosts on community VLANs can communicate among themselves
and with their associated promiscuous port but not with ports in other community
VLANs.
The following guidelines apply when configuring private VLANs: The default VLAN 1
cannot be a private VLAN. The management VLAN 4095 cannot be a private VLAN. The
management port cannot be a member of a private VLAN.IGMP Snooping must be
disabled on isolated VLANs. Each secondary port's (isolated port and community ports)
PVID must match its corresponding secondary VLAN ID. Ports within a secondary VLAN
cannot be members of other VLANs. All VLANs that make up the private VLAN must
belong to the same Spanning Tree Group.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).

GVRP Global Settings
Network > GVRP > GVRP Global Settings
The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows network devices to share VLAN
information and to use the information to modify existing VLANs or create new VLANs,
automatically. This makes it easier to manage VLANs that span more than one switch.
Without GVRP, you have to manually configure your switches to ensure that the various
parts of the VLANs can communicate with each other across the different switches.
With GVRP, which is an application of the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP), this is done for you automatically.

This chapter contains a description of the Switch’s Voice VLAN feature and the
procedures to create, modify, and delete a voice VLAN configuration.
The Voice VLAN feature is specifically designed to maintain high quality, uninterrupted
voice traffic through the switch. When talking on a voice over IP phone, a user expects
to have no interruptions in the conversation and excellent voice quality. The Voice VLAN
feature can be configured to meet these requirements.
CoS with Voice VLAN
The Voice VLAN CoS parameter maintains the voice quality between the ingress and
egress ports of the switch. CoS must be enabled for the Voice VLAN CoS priority to take
effect. The CoS priority level that you config is applied to voice traffic on all ports of the
voice VLAN. Normally, most (non-Voice) Ethernet traffic transverses the switch through
lower order egress queues. To avoid delays and interruptions in the voice data flow, the
CoS priority level assigned to the voice VLAN should be mapped to a higher order queue
and the scheduling algorithm should be set to Strict Priority. These settings ensure that
the voice data packets are processed before other types of data so that the voice quality
is maintained as the voice data passes through the switch.
Organization Unique Identifier (OUI)
Each IP phone manufacturer can be identified by one or more Organization Unique
Identifiers (OUIs). An OUI is three bytes long and is usually expressed in hexadecimal
format. It is imbedded into the first part of each MAC address of an Ethernet network
device. You can find the OUI of an IP phone in the first three complete bytes of its MAC
address.
Typically, you will find that all of the IP phones you are installing have the same OUI in
common. The switch identifies a voice data packet by comparing the OUI information in
the packet’s source MAC address with an OUI table that you configure when you initially
set up the voice VLAN. This is important when the Auto-Detection feature for a port and
is a dynamic voice VLAN port.
When you are configuring the voice VLAN parameters, you must enter the complete
MAC address of at least one of your IP phones. An “OUI Mask” is automatically
generated and applied by the Web Management Utility software to yield the
manufacturer’s OUI. If the OUI of the remaining phones from that manufacturer is the
same, then no other IP phone MAC addresses need to be entered into the configuration.
However, it is possible that you can find more than one OUI from the same
manufacturer among the IP phones you are installing. It is also possible that your IP
phones are from two or more different manufacturers in which case you will find
different OUIs for each manufacturer. If you identify more than one OUI among the IP
phones being installed, then one MAC address representing each individual OUI must be
configured in the voice VLAN. You can enter a total of 10 OUIs.
Dynamic Auto-Detection vs Static Ports
Prior to configuring the voice VLAN, you must configure a tagged VLAN which is the
basis for the voice VLAN configuration. The VLAN must be configured with one or more
tagged or untagged ports that will serve as the voice VLAN uplink/downlink. By default,
a tagged or untagged port is a static member of a tagged VLAN. The ports that you
choose to configure as dynamic Auto-Detection ports
must be connected directly to an IP phone. When you initially define the ports of a
tagged VLAN for your voice VLAN configuration, they must be configured as a “Not
Member” ports. The “Not Member” ports are eligible to dynamically join the voice VLAN
when voice data is detected with a predefined OUI in the source MAC address. The port
will leave the voice VLAN after a specified timeout period. This port behavior is
configured with the voice VLAN Auto-Detection feature.
For the Auto-Detection feature to function, your IP phone(s) must be capable of
generating 802.1Q packets with imbedded VLAN ID tags. You must manually configure
your IP phone(s) for the same VLAN ID as the switch’s voice VLAN ID. When voice data is
detected on one of the “Not Member” ports, the packets from the IP phone will contain
the voice VLAN ID so they are switched within the switch’s voice VLAN.
One or more ports in your voice VLAN must be configured as Static tagged or untagged
members. Static VLAN members are permanent member ports of the voice VLAN and
there is no dependency on the configuration of the devices connected to the ports.
These ports might be connected to other voice VLAN network nodes such as other
Ethernet switches, a telephone switch, or a DHCP server. The voice VLAN AutoDetection feature cannot be enabled on Static tagged or tagged ports.
Note: Any Static tagged members of the voice VLAN are required to have the port VLAN
ID (PVID) configured to be the same as the voice VLAN ID. This insures that all untagged
packets entering the port are switched within the voice VLAN as the voice data passes
through the switch.
If the IP phone(s) that you are installing cannot be configured with a VLAN ID, then the
switch ports should be configured as Static tagged ports within the voice VLAN.
Note: Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP- MED) is not
supported on the switch. Each IP phone that is VLAN aware should be manually
configured for the VLAN ID that matches your voice VLAN ID. Each of the voice VLAN
ports connected to an IP phone should be configured as “Not Member” ports of the
tagged VLAN.

When a port on an Ethernet switch becomes oversubscribed, its egress
queues contain more packets than the port can handle in a timely manner. In this
situation, the port may be forced to delay the transmission of some packets, resulting in
the delay of packets reaching their destinations. A port may be forced to delay
transmission of packets while it handles other traffic, and, in some situations, some
packets destined to be forwarded to an oversubscribed port from other switch ports
may be discarded.
Minor delays are often of no consequence to a network or its performance. But there
are applications, referred to as delay or time sensitive applications, which can be
impacted by packet delays. Voice transmission and video conferences are two examples.
If packets carrying data in either of these cases are delayed from reaching their
destination, the audio or video quality may suffer.
This is where Cost of Service (CoS) is of value. It allows you to manage the flow of traffic
through a switch by having the switch ports give higher priority to some packets, such as
delay sensitive traffic, over other packets. This is referred to as prioritizing traffic.

This is the highest priority level. Ports set to
the Critical level are guaranteed to receive
power before any of the ports assigned to
the other priority levels.
High
Ports set to the High level receive power
only when all the ports assigned to the

This is the lowest priority level. Ports set to
the Low level receive power only when all
the ports assigned to the Critical and High
levels are already receiving power. This
level is the default setting.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Power over Ethernet
The main advantage of PoE is that it can make installing a network easier. The selection
of a location for a network device is often limited by whether there is a power source
nearby. This constraint limits equipment placement or requires the added time and cost
of having additional electrical sources installed. However, with PoE, you can install PoE
compatible devices wherever they are needed without having to worry about whether
there is power source nearby.
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
A device that provides PoE to other network devices is referred to as power sourcing
equipment (PSE). The Gigabit Web Smart PoE+ Switch is a PSE device which provides DC
power to the network cable and functions as a central power source for other network
devices.
Powered Device (PD)
A device that receives power from a PSE device is called a powered device (PD).
Examples include wireless access points, IP phones, webcams, and even other Ethernet
switches.
PD Classes PDs are grouped into five classes. The classes are based on the amount of
power that PDs require. The Gigabit Web Smart PoE+ Switch supports all five classes.
Power Budget
Power budget is the maximum amount of power that the PoE switch can provide at one
time to the connected PDs. Port Prioritization As long as the total power requirements
of the PDs is less than the total available power of the switch, it can supply power to all
of the PDs.
However, when the PD power requirements exceed the total available power, the
switch denies power to some ports based on a process called port prioritization.
The ports on the PoE switch are assigned to one of three priority levels. These levels and
descriptions are listed in Table 3. Without enough power to support all the ports set to
the same priority level at one time, the switch provides power to the ports based on the
port number, in ascending order. For example, when all of the ports in the switch are set
to the low priority level and the power requirements are exceeded on the switch, port 1
has the highest priority level, port 2 has the next highest priority level and so forth.
Power(mW) - Indicates the Power in milliwatts that the port is supplying power
to the PD.
Voltage(V) - Indicates the Voltage in volts as measured at the port when the
port is supplying power to the PD.
Current(mA) - Indicates the Current in milliamps that the port is supplying to
the PD.
