Chapter 4 Switch Functions and their Configuration

Basic Switch Functions

4.1.3

Jumbo Frame Support

The device can transmit jumbo frames of up to 9KB (9216 bytes). (XG0224,XG0448)

The device can transmit jumbo frames of up to 16KB (16128 bytes). (XG2600)

4.1.4

Flow Control

Flow control is a function that prevents frame loss when the receive buffer in the switch overflows due to temporary traffic
overload by using a PAUSE frame.

When the device receives a PAUSE frame, it temporarily stops sending frames at the receive port. If the receive buffer
overflows, it is possible to restrict frame transmission from the connected device by sending a PAUSE frame.

For each port, it is possible to select whether or not to send a PAUSE frame. Select the mode depending on whether the
destination responds to a PAUSE frame or not.

To change the flow control mode, carry out the following procedures in "admin" Operation mode.

4.1.5

Storm Control

The device discards broadcast/multicast frames when the number of received broadcast frames are over a given threshold
to prevent unnecessary waste of bandwidth due to retained broadcast frames on the network. This function is called "Storm
Control".

For each port, it is possible to configure storm control.

When broadcast/multicast frames are discarded by storm control, system logs are output.

To configure storm control, carry out the following procedures in "admin" Operation mode.
