Port Trunking 1.3 PORT TRUNKING Port Trunking is used for load balancing or load sharing. Port Trunking provides a mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding Port Trunking. The benefits of Port Trunking include the following: • All purchased bandwidth is used.
802.1p Port Priority 1.7 802.1p PORT PRIORITY The 802.1p port priority is used to assign a default priority to the frames received without priority information in their tag header, map prioritized frames to the appropriate transmit queues, and prioritize frames according to protocol type. The 802.1p port priority is part of the IEEE 802.1D standard. 1.8 MANAGEMENT Management of the module can be either in-band or out-of-band.
UPN Support 1.11 UPN SUPPORT User Personalized Networks (UPN) is an architecture that allows network administrators to map network services to identified users, machines, peripherals and other network entities. UPN consists of three tiers: • Classification rules make up the first or bottom tier. The rules apply to devices in the UPN environment, such as switches and routers. The rules are designed to be implemented at or near the user’s point of entry to the network.
