Description of Software Features
The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance enhancing
features. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks
caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast
traffic storms from engulfing the network. Port-based and private VLANs,
plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration provide traffic
security and efficient use of network bandwidth. CoS priority queueing
ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across
the network. While multicast filtering provides support for real-time
network applications. Some of the management features are briefly
described below.
