Chapter 48 Product Specifications 270 Table 109 Feature Descriptions FEATURE DESCRIPTION IP Routing Domain An IP interface (also known as an IP routing domain) is not bound to a physical port. Configure an IP routing domain to allow the switch to route traffic between different networks. VLAN A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same group(s); the traffic must first go through a router. VLAN Stacking Use VLAN stacking to add an outer VLAN tag to the inner IEEE 802.1Q tagged frames that enter the network. By tagging the tagged frames ("double-tagged" frames), the service provider can manage up to 4,094 VLAN groups with each group containing up to 4,094 customer VLANs. This allows a service provider to provide different service, based on specific VLANs, for many different customers. MAC Address Filter Filter traffic based on the source and/or destination MAC address and VLAN group (ID). DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Use this feature to have the MM-7201 assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your network. IGMP Snooping The switch supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your switch. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) With DiffServ, the switch marks packets so that they receive specific perhop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Classifier and Policy You can create a policy to define actions to be performed on a traffic flow grouped by a classifier according to specific criteria such as the IP address, port number or protocol type, etc. Queuing Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion. Two scheduling services are supported: Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR). This allows the switch to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the bandwidth. Port Mirroring Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic going from one or all ports to another or all ports in order that you can examine the traffic from the mirror port (the port you copy the traffic to) without interference. Static Route Static routes tell the switch how to forward IP traffic when you configure the TCP/IP parameters manually. Port Cloning Port cloning allows you to copy attributes from one port to another port or ports. Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications (such as Media-on-Demand (MoD)) using multicast traffic across a network. MVR allows one single multicast VLAN to be shared among different subscriber VLANs on the network. This improves bandwidth utilization by reducing multicast traffic in the subscriber VLANs and simplifies multicast group management. IP Multicast With IP multicast, the switch delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody. In addition, the switch can send packets to Ethernet devices that are not VLAN-aware by untagging (removing the VLAN tags) IP multicast packets. RIP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a routing device to exchange routing information with other routers. MS-7206 User's Guide
