60 Configuring & Monitoring The Switch ELS100-24TXG
Configuring Class of Service
You can configure Class of Service parameters using the Class of Service
Configuration Menu. This menu permits you to configure priority levels to
traffic being forwarded through the switch. During periods of congestion,
Class of Service settings ensure that traffic which has been assigned high
priority is forwarded through the switch ahead of normal priority traffic. For
further information, see Appendix E, “Class of Service.”
To configure Class of Service, do the following:
1. Select Class of Service Configuration Menu from the Switch
Configuration Menu.
2. Turn the global switch Class of Service operation on or off by toggling
the Class of Service Enable option by pressing a.
3. Select Priority Threshold and enter a number between 0 and 7. This
number represents the threshold between high and low priority traffic
passing through the switch.
4.
Select Configure Port Priority.
The Port Priority Menu displays. From this menu, individual port pri-
ority levels can be configured.
Configuring Port Operation
You can configure 10/100 ports for operational parameters such as auto-
negotiation, duplex mode, port speed and flow control. On the Gigabit
Ethernet ports, flow control and auto-negotiation can be configured, but
duplex mode and port speed cannot. The Gigabit Ethernet ports always
operate in full duplex mode and at a 1000Mbps speed.
To configure port operation, do the following:
1. Select Port Menu from the Main Menu.
2. Select Configure and enter an individual port number or multiple port
numbers. Press [Enter].

ration screen.

multiple ports, separated by commas or hyphens, in ei-
ther:

a range: ports 6-9
or a combination of both: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10-15, 21, 23
