Ingress and Egress Rates: This settings determines the port bandwid th control and works only when the port speed is set to Auto. 6.9.2 VLAN Settings (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of port s which act as a small “virtual” network of their own, independent of the other ports.
freeConnect Smart 2420 User’s Manual 19 Note: T runking will only work if the ports are connected to similarly tr unked ports on another Switch. There are three group s of ports that can be trunked together .
Figure 20: Mirror Setting Page 6.9.5 QoS Setting The Switch supports two types of QoS, port-based and 802.1P-based. QoS stands for quality of service, and is used for prioritizing p ackets which are sensitive to delays such as multimedia streaming and V oIP (voice over IP) applications.
freeConnect Smart 2420 User’s Manual 21 For 802.1P-based QoS, select IEEE 802.1P Based as the QoS type, and select the priority to give each 802.1P tag level (Figure 22).
