Extreme Networks Summit1 manual Quality of Service QOS, IP Unicast Routing, IP Multicast Routing

SUMMARY OF FEATURES

The Summit supports up to 64 Spanning Tree Domains (STPDs).

For more information on STP, refer to Chapter 7.

QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS)

The Summit has policy-based Quality of Service (QoS) features that enable you to specify service levels for different traffic groups. By default, all traffic is assigned with the “normal” QoS policy profile. If needed, you can create other QoS policies and apply them to different traffic types so that they have different guaranteed minimum bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, and priority.

For more information on Quality of Service, refer to Chapter 8.

IP UNICAST ROUTING

The Summit can route IP traffic between the VLANs that are configured as virtual router interfaces. Both dynamic and static IP routes are maintained in the routing table. The following routing protocols are supported:

•RIP version 1

•RIP version 2

•OSPF

For more information on IP unicast routing, refer to Chapter 9.

IP MULTICAST ROUTING

The Summit can use IP multicasting to allow a single IP host to transmit a packet to a group of IP hosts. The Summit supports statically configured IP multicast routes, and multicast routes that are learned by way of the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP).

For more information on IP multicast routing, refer to Chapter 11.
