cos

Class of Service (CoS): Provides priority handling of packets

traversing the switch, based on the IEEE 802.1p priority carried

 

 

by each packet.

 

 

CoS messages also include Quality of Service (QoS) events.

 

 

The QoS feature classifies and prioritizes traffic throughout a

 

 

network, establishing an end-to-end traffic priority policy to

 

 

manage available bandwidth and improve throughput of

 

 

important data.

 

dhcp

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server

Management and Configuration Guide

 

configuration: Switch is automatically configured from a

 

 

DHCP (Bootp) server, including IP address, subnet mask,

 

 

default gateway, Timep Server address, and TFTP server

 

 

address.

IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard.

 

gvrp

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP): Manages dynamic

Advanced Traffic Management Guide

 

802.1Q VLAN operations, in which the switch creates

 

 

temporary VLAN membership on a port to provide a link to

 

 

another port in the same VLAN on another device.
