DESCRIPTION

VLAN Type

Choose 802.1Q or Port Based from the drop-down list box. The VLAN

Setup screen changes depending on whether you choose 802.1Q or Port

Based VLAN type in this screen. See

Section 16.3 on page 142

and the

VLAN chapter for more information on VLANs.

MAC Address Aging Time

MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC

address learning to occur on a port, the port must be active.
Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically

learned MAC addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age

out (and must be relearned).

Queuing Method

Select a queuing method. Choices vary depending on your switch models.
Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) services queues based on priority only.

When the highest priority queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority

queue begins. The default queuing method is Strictly Priority.
Weighted Round Robin Scheduling
(WRR) services queues on a

rotating basis based on their queue weight (the number you select from

the drop-down list box for the corresponding queue). Queues with larger

weights get more service than queues with smaller weights.
Weighted Fair Scheduling is used to guarantee each queue's minimum

bandwidth based on their bandwidth portion (weight) (the number you

configure in the Weight field). Queues with larger weights get more

guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
