Resiliency
Spanning Tree Protocol ensures resiliency in
the network. In the event that preferred switch
path is broken or down. The resilient path takes
over and valuable data is still able to travel
from the server to the destination workstation.
Prioritize Network Traffic
The Priority Queuing is designed based on
IEEE 802.1p standard. It supports four levels of
priority per port for prioritizing critical network
traffic. This is very useful for application such
as video and sound streaming.

Copper-based modules and six blank modular
slots. Each slot can be used with either a
10/100/1000 Base-T copper module or a
1000Base-SX/LX fiber module. This
flexibility provides a high-speed connectivity in
the wiring closet, server farm or campus with
fiber or copper cabling.

SNMP Monitoring
The SNMP & RMON allow the
monitoring of data flow and network
statistics in the switch. The RMON allows
remote monitoring of the switch and to
alert user of any abnormal operations.
Four groups of RMON is supported:-
Statistics, History, Alarms and Events.
Management
SNMP and RMON management can be
access through the console port, by Telnet
or via a Graphical User Interface through
a common web-browser.

Layer 3 Functionality
Applications that needs support for Layer 3.
Supported protocols include RIP v1 and RIP v2,
OSPF and DVMRP v3.

OSPF and DVMRP v3.
IP Multicast filtering
Performance of the network is improved as the
multicast packets will only be forwarded to those
ports containing multicast group hosts or
multicast routers/switches, instead of flooding
traffic to all ports in the subnet.

Network availability through Layer 3
Quick fail-over protection and load-balancing in
routed uplinks are available through IP dynamic
routing.
