4.3.1Port Access
The Port Access option allows the ports to be disabled/enabled while maintaining the port configuration and network link
To configure Port Access, select option 11 for the Fiber port and option 12 for the UTP port from the Port configuration screen.
4.3.2Bandwidth Control
The 10/100M2 Bandwidth Control is accessed by selecting option 8 at the Port configuration screen. The 10/100M2 provides separate ingress and egress rate control on each port.
Ingress rates are limited by Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Committed Burst Size (CBS). The committed information rate (CIR) is the rate at which the network supports data transfer under normal operations. The committed burst size (CBS) defines the number of bits that can transmit over a specified time interval when congestion is occurring. Ingress CIR values are entered as a number of kbps, ranging from 64kbps to 100,000kbps. CIR values will be rounded to the nearest 64k. CBS values can range from 5kB to 150kB.
Ingress rate limiting provides an excess traffic policy with the option to “drop” the excess frames or “accept, send PAUSE” to the port’s link partner when traffic excess the ingress CIR and CBS values.
Egress rate are selected from a menu of 20 options.
Egress rate limiting can be selected to use either Starvation Queuing (low latency) or Weighted Fair Queuing (high latency). Starvation Queuing processes all high priority traffic before any low priority traffic and uses a strict priority scheme. Weighted Fair Queuing will process high priority traffic more often then low priority traffic in an 8 (high priority), 4, 2, 1 (low priority) weighted scheme.
