Network 1 (eth0) Link Settings
Physical link parameters can be configured for an Ethernet (eth0) Network Link (see
) and a WLAN (wlan0) Link Interface (see
Table 5-2 Network 1 (eth0) Link Settings
Notes:
When speed is
Auto
, duplex must be
Auto
or
Half
.
When speed is not
Auto
, duplex must be
Half
or
Full
.
Fixed speed Full duplex will produce errors connected to Auto, due to duplex
mismatch.
Network 1 (eth0) QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) can be enabled and configured for both Network 1 (eth0) and Network 2
(wlan0). If enabled, the router will control the flow of outbound traffic according to the user-defined
filters. In other words, QoS improves performance by allowing the user to prioritize applications.
Filters can be defined to prioritize traffic based on the source or destination network, source or
destination port, or the source MAC address. Up to 32 user-defined filters can be added. The
following are predefined priority classes:
Network Control and Internetwork Control are typically used for network control packets such
as ICMP and have the highest priorities.
Move bandwidth allocation is a minimum 5% each to Network control.
Voice: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 30%.
Video: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 20%.
Critical Applications: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 15%.
Excellent Effort: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 10%.
Best Effort: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 10%.
Background: Bandwidth allocation is minimum 5% and has the lowest priority.
