Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous Settings
Miscellaneous setting is used to configure output queue aging
time, VLAN stride and IGMP snooping.
¾
Output queue aging: This function is used to avoid the poor
utilization of the switch. When a packet
is stored in a switch for a long time, it
will expire from the allowable time
defined by the protocol and become a
useless packet. To prevent these
packets from wasting the bandwidth,
this switch provide an option for the
administrator to enable the queue
aging function.
¾
VLAN Striding: By selecting this function, the switch will
forward uni-cast packets to the destination
port, no matter whether destination port is in
the same VLAN.
¾
IGMP Snooping: When this function is enabled, the switch will
execute IGMP snooping version 1 and
version 2 without the intervention of CPU.
The IGMP report and leave packets are
automatically handled by the switch.
