Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The IEEE 802.1D (STP) and IEEE 802.1w (RSTP) Spanning Tree Protocols are supported on the MM314 and MM316 switched LAN ports.
Note:
STP is not supported in the G250.
Port mirroring
Both the G250 and the G350 support network traffic monitoring by port mirroring. You can configure port mirroring on any LAN port. You implement port mirroring by connecting an external traffic probe device to one of the LAN ports. The probe device monitors traffic that is sent and received through other ports by copying the packets and sending them to the monitor port.
Note:
You cannot configure port mirroring on the G350 fixed LAN port or the G250/
G350 WAN Fast Ethernet ports.
Port redundancy
You can configure port redundancy on the G350. Port redundancy allows you to provide both a primary link and a backup link to an important resource.Port redundancy is supported between any two PoE ports on the MM314 or the MM316 media modules.
WAN services
The G250/G350 has an internal router and provides direct access to outside WAN lines. You can use the G250/G350 as the endpoint device for a WAN line. You can also use the G250/ G350 as the router for a WAN line with an external endpoint device.
