Appendix C: Minimum Network Requirements
75
N7142 User Manual
a.
The N2300 Series Encoders and Decoders produce a frame payload larger than 1500 bytes. This requires the switch to
have the capacity of handling jumbo frames enabled.
6.
Quality of Service (QOS): Managing the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a network
becomes the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution.
a.
Not required for use with N-Series devices
b.
Policing
i.
A policer typically drops traffic.
ii.
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values can be configured in N-Series devices if QOS is required on the
network.
c.
Shaping
i.
A shaper typically delays excess traffic using a buffer, or queueing mechanism, to hold packets and shape the flow
when the data rate of the source is higher than expected.
ii.
Cannot be used with N2300 series.
7.
TCN Flood Off
a.
TCN (Topology Change Notification) flooding will cause unnecessary backplane and bandwidth usage when adding or
removing a device on the network, which can cause stream interruptions as the flooding sweeps through the network.
i.
Note that this command has to be assigned individually per port that is assigned to that VLAN. However it is not
necessary with ports on the same switch that will not be set up on the same VLAN as the N-Series devices.
b.
Command Example: NO IP IGMP SNOOPING TCN FLOOD
