3. SWITCH CAPABILITIES MODELS C5468
The model C5468 provides an onboard Gigabit Ethernet layer 2 switch with
management capabilities. The operating registers in the switch are accessible via a
register-level API that is provided in the host driver and described in section 10.5 of this
manual.
The switch can be programmed to support advanced features including following:
o
ARL table control (4K MAC-address management)
o
Aging Control
o
VLAN management (4K VLANS)
o
Trunking, aggregation and failover control
o
Port mirroring control
o
QoS / 802.1P / Priority / Differential Services
o
Port traffic control
o
Switch status
o
PHY (transceiver) control
o
Jumbo frame control
o
Port parameters and port state control
