802.1p Port Priority

1.7802.1p PORT PRIORITY

The 802.1p port priority is used to assign a default priority to the frames received without priority information in their tag header, map prioritized frames to the appropriate transmit queues, and prioritize frames according to protocol type. The 802.1p port priority is part of the IEEE 802.1D standard.

1.8MANAGEMENT

Management of the module can be either in-band or out-of-band. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP-compliant Network Management Software, such as the Enterasys Networks’ NetSight™ management product. In-band management using Telnet and Enterasys Networks’ Webview™ is also provided. Out-of-b and Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.

Local Management provides the ability to manage the devices. Refer to the Matrix C Series Configuration Guide for more information.

1.9SWITCHING OPTIONS

The devices provide 802.1Q switching between all of the front panel interfaces. In the 802.1Q mode (the default mode of operation), the device functions as an 802.1D switch until you configure VLANs. Up to 4094 VLANs can be configured. When VLANs are configured, the backplane ports are automatically configured as Q-trunk ports.

IEEE 802.1Q switching allows migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.

1.10 STANDARDS COMPATIBILITY

The C1H124-48 and C1G124-24 devices are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.1D, and 802.1Q standards. The devices provide IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The devices support a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), and RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB). A full suite of Enterasys Networks Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting. For information on how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to the Release Notes for a complete list of supported MIBs.

C1H124-24, C1H124-48 specifications

Enterasys Networks, a prominent player in the field of networking technology, has developed a range of innovative solutions tailored for modern enterprise demands. Among their offerings are the C1H124-48 and C1H124-24 switches, both designed to facilitate robust connectivity and superior network performance.

The Enterasys C1H124-48 is a 48-port Ethernet switch, designed to meet the needs of dense network environments. It supports a variety of Ethernet standards, making it versatile for different deployment scenarios. This model boasts advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities, ensuring that data packets are efficiently managed and routed within local networks. With support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), this switch can supply power to connected devices, such as IP phones and wireless access points, without the need for separate electrical wiring.

Conversely, the C1H124-24 is a 24-port variant that shares many features with its larger counterpart. It is ideal for smaller office environments or as part of a larger stack in complex installations. Both models support high throughput rates to handle heavy data traffic, ensuring seamless connectivity and minimal latency for end-users.

One of the key strengths of both switches is their integration of advanced security features. They support features such as VLAN tagging and Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing network administrators to segment traffic and enforce strict security protocols. This is essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

In addition to security, the C1H124 models utilize cutting-edge technologies such as Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical network applications, ensuring that bandwidth-intensive tasks like video conferencing and cloud applications receive the necessary resources. This capability is vital in modern enterprises where operational continuity depends on reliable network performance.

Additionally, Enterasys Networks emphasizes ease of management with both models. They come equipped with intuitive management interfaces and support for network management protocols, allowing for straightforward monitoring and configuration. This reduces the administrative burden on IT staff and enhances operational efficiency.

In summary, the Enterasys Networks C1H124-48 and C1H124-24 switches are well-engineered solutions that cater to a variety of networking needs. With their comprehensive feature set, including PoE support, advanced security, QoS, and user-friendly management, they are positioned to enhance network performance and security in diverse organizational settings. The decision to adopt these switches can lead to significant improvements in connectivity and overall network efficiency.
