DXS-3227, DXS-3227P, and DXS-3250 Features

This appendix describes the device features. The system supports the following features:

F e a t u r e	D e s c r i p t i o n
Auto Negotiation	Auto negotiation allows an device to advertise modes of opera-
	tion. The auto negotiation function provides the means to
	exchange information between two devices that share a point-to-
	point link segment, and to automatically configure both devices to
	take maximum advantage of their transmission capabilities.
	Auto negotiation provides port advertisement. Port advertisement
	allows the system administrator to configure the port speeds
	advertised.
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 over-
	flowing.
Back Pressure	On half-duplex links, the receiving port prevents buffer overflows
	by occupying the link so that it is unavailable for additional traffic.
Class Of Service	The IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard
	for marking and prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC
	sub-layer. 802.1p traffic is classified and sent to the destination.
	No bandwidth reservations or limits are established or enforced.
	802.1p is a spin-off of the 802.1Q (VLANs) standard. 802.1p
	establishes eight levels of priority, similar to the IP Precedence IP
	Header bit-field.
Command Line Interface	Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and semantics conform as
	much as possible to common industry practice. Syslog
	Syslog is a protocol that enables event notifications to be sent to
	a set of remote servers, where they can be stored, examined and
	acted upon. The system sends notifications of significant events
	in real time, and keeps a record of these events for after-the-fact
	usage.
Configuration File Management	The device configuration is stored in a configuration file. The Con-
	figuration file includes both system wide and port specific device
	configuration. The system can display configuration files in the
	form of a collection of CLI commands, which are stored and
	manipulated as text files.
DHCP Clients	Dynamic Host Client Protocol. DHCP enables additional setup
	parameters to be received from a network server upon system
	startup. DHCP service is an on-going process.
