SIM: enable or disable the SIM state on the Switch. Disabled will render all SIM functions on the Switch
inoperable.
Role State: There are two states for the Role: Commander and Candidate.
Commander: Choosing this parameter will make the Switch a Commander Switch (CS).
The user may join other switches to this Switch, over Ethernet, to be part of its SIM group. Choosing
this option will also enable the Switch to be configured for SIM.
Candidate: A Candidate Switch (CaS) is not the member of a SIM group but is connected to a
Commander Switch. This is the default setting for the SIM role.
Discovery Interval (30-90): The user may set the discovery protocol interval, in seconds that the Switch will
send out discovery packets. Returning information to a Commander Switch will include information about
other switches connected to it. (Ex. MS, CaS). The user may set the Discovery Interval from 30 to 90
seconds.
Hold Time (100-255): This parameter may be set for the time, in seconds the Switch will hold information
sent to it from other switches, utilizing the Discovery Interval. The user may set the hold time from 100 to
255 seconds.
Click Apply for the settings to take effect.
NOTE: The function does not work with
management switch.
NOTE: The Single IP Management feature
supports IPv4 and IPv6.
QoS > Bandwidth Control
The Bandwidth Control page allows network managers to define the bandwidth settings for a specified port’s
transmitting and receiving data rates.
Figure 5.77 – QoS > Bandwidth Control
From Port / To Port: A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Type: This drop-down menu allows you to select between RX (receive), TX (transmit), and Both. This
setting will determine whether the bandwidth ceiling is applied to receiving, transmitting, or both
receiving and transmitting packets.
No Limit: This drop-down menu allows you to specify that the selected port will have no bandwidth limit.
