Feature | Description |
|
|
Auto Negotiation | The purpose of auto negotiation is to allow a device to advertise modes of |
| operation. The auto negotiation function provides the means to exchange |
| information between two devices that share a |
| segment, and to automatically configure both devices to take maximum |
| advantage of their abilities. |
| Auto negotiation is performed totally within the physical layers during link |
| initiation, without any additional overhead to either the MAC or higher |
| protocol layers. Auto negotiation allows the ports to do the following: |
| ■ Advertise their abilities |
| ■ Acknowledge receipt and understanding of the common modes of |
| operation that both devices share |
| ■ Reject the use of operational modes that are not shared by both |
| devices |
| ■ Configure each port for the |
| ports can support |
|
|
Automatic MAC Addresses Aging | MAC addresses from which no traffic is received for a given period are |
| aged out. This prevents the Bridging Table from overflowing. |
|
|
Back Pressure | On half duplex links, the receiver may employ back pressure (i.e. occupy |
| the link so it is unavailable for additional traffic), to temporarily prevent |
| the sender from transmitting additional traffic. This is used to prevent |
| buffer overflows. |
|
|
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) | ARP converts between IP addresses and MAC (i.e., hardware) addresses. |
| ARP is used to locate the MAC address corresponding to a given IP |
| address. |
|
|
Class Of Service (CoS) | Provide traffic belonging to a group preferential service (in terms of |
| allocation of system resources), possibly at the expense of other traffic. |
|
|
Command Line Interface | The Command Line Interface (CLI) is an interface using a serial connection |
| that allows the switch to be configured. |
