3 3 Optimize Performance With Quality of Service This chapter covers the following topics: • Enable 802.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch Enable 802.1p/DSCP-Based Quality of Service 802.1p/DSCP-based priority uses a field in the data packet header that identifies the class of data in the packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p/DSCP-based priority is used, the switch reads information in the packet header to determine the priority to assign to the packet. The switch reads both 802.1p tag information and DSCP and ToS tag information. If an ingress packet contains an 802.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch Enable Port-Based Quality of Service You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports configured as higher priority transmit their packets first. You must determine which ports will carry delay-sensitive data. To enable port-based QoS: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch Note: Models GSS108E and GSS108EPP provide 8 ports. Model GSS116E provides 16 ports. 9.

4 4 Use VLANS for Traffic Segmentation This chapter covers the following topics: • VLAN Overview • Create a Basic Port-Based VLAN • Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN Groups • Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in a Basic Configuration • Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration • Add Tagged or Untagged Ports to an 802.1Q-Based VLAN • Specify a Port PVID for an 802.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch VLAN Overview Virtual LANs (VLANs) are made up of networked devices that are grouped logically into separate networks. You can group ports on a switch to create a virtual network made up of the devices connected to the ports. Ports can be grouped in VLANs using port-based or 802.1Q criteria: • Port-based VLANs. Assign ports to virtual networks. Ports with the same VLAN ID are placed in the same VLAN.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch The Switch Information page displays. 5. Select VLAN. The Basic Port-based VLAN Status page displays. 6.

8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch Test Cable Connections You can use the cable diagnostic feature to easily find out the health status of network cables. If any problems exist, this feature helps quickly locate the point where the cabling fails, allowing connectivity issues to be fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians hours of troubleshooting. If an error is detected, the distance at which the fault is detected is stated in meters. (This is the distance from the port.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch Resolve a Subnet Conflict to Access the Switch If you power on the switch before you connect it to a network that includes a DHCP server, the switch uses its own default IP address of 192.168.0.239. This subnet might be different from the subnet used in your network. You might see the following message if you try to use the ProSAFE Plus Utility to access the switch: The switch and manager IP address are not in the same subnet.
8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Click Switch solid green. If the associated PoE port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions that are listed in the following table. Table 2. PoE fault conditions and possible solutions PoE Fault Condition Possible Solution A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port. The problem is most likely with the attached PD.
