Quality of Service (QoS)
See Chapter 10,"Quality
of Service (QoS)" on
page 135.
The local management software 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 a normal QoS policy
profile.
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.
Unicast Routing
The 480T routing switch can route IP or IPX traffic between VLANs
that are configured as virtual router interfaces. Both dynamic and
static IP routes are maintained in the routing table. The routing
protocols supported include:
See “IP Unicast
Routing” on page 189.
•RIP version 1
•RIP version 2
•OSPF-2
•IPX/RIP
•BGP-4
For further information consult these chapters:
•"IP Unicast Routing" on page 189
•"RIP and OSPF" on page 223
•"Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)" on page 255
•"IPX Routing" on page 291
IP Multicast Routing
See “IP Multicast
Routing” on page 275.
The 480T routing switch enables you to use IP multicasting to allow
a single IP host to transmit a packet to a group of IP hosts. It supports
multicast routes learned by way of the Distance Vector Multicast
Routing Protocol (DVMRP) or Protocol Independent Multicast,
dense or sparse mode (PIM-DM or PIM-SM).
