Optimizing Network 
Performance 

When the network traffic is heavy, overloaded ports can be identified by 
watching the Utilization or Collision Ratio. It may be the time to tune the 
system to match the environment. 

Since the system resources are shared by all ports, the system allocates a 
limited budget to every port to prevent one failed port from using up all the 
resources. However, since the loading varies from port to port, the resources 
allocated for each port should be changed based on the traffic via the Mini-
Console to get the best network performance. 

Three resource modes are available, 

Low, Medium 

and

 High

The following table shows the resource distribution between modes. 

MODE 

Using Condition 

Low 

The port assigned the lowest amount of 
resources. 

Medium 

The port assigned a medium amount of 
resources. 

High 

The port assigned the highest amount of 
resources.
