Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch 3000 10/100 supports the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) which is a bridge-based system for
providing fault tolerance on networks. STP allows
you to implement parallel paths for network traffic,
and ensure that:
■
Redundant paths are disabled when the main
paths are operational
■
Redundant paths are enabled if the main traffic
paths fail
For more information about STP, refer to
.
PACE
The Switch 3000 10/100 supports PACE (Priority
Access Control Enabled) technology, which allows
multimedia traffic to be carried over standard Ether-
net and Fast Ethernet LANs. PACE provides two fea-
tures:
■
Implicit Class of Service
— When multimedia traf-
fic is transmitted, it is given a higher priority
than other data and is therefore forwarded ahead
of other data when it arrives at the Switch. The
Implicit Class of Service feature minimizes latency
through the Switch and protects the quality of
multimedia traffic.
■
Interactive Access
— When two-way multimedia
traffic passes over an Ethernet network, interfer-
ence can occur because access to the bandwidth
is unequally allocated to traffic in one direction.
The Interactive Access feature allocates the avail-
able bandwidth equally in both directions, there-
fore increasing the quality of the traffic.

Switch, refer to
