SYSTEM (Green) The system LED lights up to indicate that the Switch is powered on. LINK/ACT (1-8) (Green) The LINK/ACT LED lights up to indicate a functional network link through the corresponding port (1 through 8) with an attached device. It flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. PoE (Orange) The PoE LED lights up to indicate a device is connected utilizing Power over Ethernet on the corresponding port (1 through 8).
Gigabit (Orange) The Gigabit LED lights up to indicate a Gigabit connection on the corresponding RJ-45 port (G1 through G2). ETHERNET 1-8 The Switch is equipped with 8 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps. They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. G1-G2 The Gigabit Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. They can operate in half and fullduplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. The G1 and G2 RJ-45 ports are shared with the miniGBIC ports. miniGBIC1/2 The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps. Console The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PCs serial port for configuration using your PCs HyperTerminal program. Refer to Chapter 4: Using the Console Interface for Configuration for more information.

Providing various mechanisms for determining the allocation of network resources to different handling classes, including:
The assignment of network traffic to a particular

The assignment of internal resources Traffic shaping
The terms Class of Service (CoS) and QoS are used in the following context: CoS provides varying Layer 2 traffic services. CoS refers to classification of traffic to traffic-classes, which are handled as an aggregate whole, with no per-flow settings. CoS is usually related to the 802.1p service that classifies flows according to their Layer 2 priority, as set in the VLAN header. QoS refers to Layer 2 traffic and above. QoS handles perflow settings, even within a single traffic class.

QoS > CoS Settings

Broadcast Control Indicates whether broadcast packet types are forwarded on the specific interface. Mode Specifies the Broadcast mode currently enabled on the device. The possible field values are:
Unknown Unicast, Multicast & Broadcast Counts
Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast traffic. & Broadcast Counts Multicast traffic together.

Multicast

Broadcast
Broadcast Only Counts only Broadcast traffic.
Rate Threshold The maximum rate (packets per second) at which unknown packets are forwarded. The default value is 3500. The range is 70 -100000.
Network traffic is usually unpredictable, and the only basic assurance that can be offered is best effort traffic delivery. To overcome this challenge, Quality of Service (QoS) is applied throughout the network. This ensures that network traffic is prioritized according to specified criteria, and that specific traffic receives preferential treatment. QoS in the network optimizes network performance and entails two basic facilities: Classifying incoming traffic into handling classes, based on an attribute, including:

QOS > CoS Settings

The CoS Settings screen contains fields for enabling or disabling CoS. In addition, the Trust mode can be selected. The Trust mode relies on predefined fields within the packet to determine the egress queue settings. The CoS Settings screen has two areas, CoS Settings and CoS to Queue. CoS Mode Indicates if QoS is enabled on the interface. The possible values are:
Disable Disables QoS on the interface.
Basic Enables QoS on the interface. Advanced Enables Advanced mode QoS on the

interface.
