• Key Features of the 8 Port Gigabit Web Managed Switch

QoS: The GSS-8T2SFPV2 offers powerful Quality of Service (QoS) functions.

This feature adds support of TOS fields within the IP packet header

(equal DSCP low 3 bits) on Layer 3 of the network framework and 4

types of network transmission events on Layer 4. QoS support is important

for real-time applications based on information taken from Layer 2 to Layer

4, such as VoIP.

VLAN: The GSS-8T2SFPV2 supports both Port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q

Tagged VLAN, with support for 8 active VLAN's having VLAN ID’s

from 1 to 4094. The VLAN feature in the switch offers the benefits of both

security and performance. VLAN is used to isolate traffic between different

users and thus provides better security. Limiting the broadcast traffic to

within the same VLAN broadcast domain also enhances performance.

Port Trunking: Allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link

Aggregation Group. Up to 4 Gigabit ports can be set up per trunk, and a

switch can support up to 4 trunking groups. Port trunks are useful for

switch-to-switch cascading, providing very high full-duplex connection

speeds.

Port Mirroring: Port mirroring copies traffic from a specific port to a target port. This

mechanism helps track network errors or abnormal packet transmission

without interrupting the flow of data.

Event Trapping: An SNMP Trap mechanism is used to inform network supervisors of

abnormal status on a switch. This event exception management

capability is available on networks that are managed via in-band

SNMP management software.

Bandwidth Bandwidth allocation rating can be set on a per

Control: port basis. Ingress and egress throughput can be limited to a pre-set

level appropriate to the traffic generally handled on a specific port.
