4.2 Description of Features
The ECN330-switch provides a wide range of advanced performance-
enhancing features. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to
bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm suppression prevents
broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. Port-based (untagged),
tagged and protocol-based VLANs, plus support for automatic registration of
VLANs using GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), provides traffic
security and efficient use of network bandwidth. CoS priority queueing ensures
the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across the network.
While multicast filtering and routing provides support for real-time network
applications. The following is a brief description of some of the key management
features.
Configuration Backup and Restore – The current configuration settings can
be saved to a file on a TFTP server, and later download this file to restore the
ECN330-switch configuration settings.
Authentication – The ECN330-switch authenticates management access
through the console port, Telnet or web browser. User names and passwords
can be configured locally or can be verified using a remote authentication server
(RADIUS or ). Port-based authentication is also supported through
the IEEE 802.1X protocol. This protocol uses Extensible Authentication Protocol
ARP Static and dynamic address configuration, proxy ARP
Multicast Filtering Supports IGMP snooping and query for Layer 2, and
IGMP for Layer 3
Multicast Routing Supports DVMRP, PIM-DM, and PIM-SM
Tunneling Supports tunneling with IEEE 802.1Q tunneling (QinQ)
or L2MPLS
EAPS Supports Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching for
increased availability of Ethernet rings (RFC3619)
Power over
Ethernet Powers attached devices using Power over Ethernet
(PoE)
