2.1System Features

Main features of hiD 6615 S223/S323, having Fast Ethernet switch and Layer 3 switching function which supports both Ethernet switching and IP routing, are follow.

!	Routing functionalities such as RIP, OSPF, BGP and PIM-SM are only available for hiD
	6615 S323. (Unavailable for hiD 6615 S223)

VLAN

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is made by dividing one network into several logical networks. Packet can not be transmitted and received between different VLANs. There- fore it can prevent unnecessary packets accumulating and strengthen security. The hiD 6615 S223/S323 recognizes 802.1q tagged frame and supports maximum 4096 VLANs and Port based, Protocol based, MAC based VLANs.

Quality of Service (QoS)

For the hiD 6615 S223/S323, QoS-based forwarding sorts traffic into a number of classes and marks the packets accordingly. Thus, different quality of service is providing to each class, which the packets belong to. The QoS capabilities enable network managers to protect mission-critical applications and support differentiated level of bandwidth for man- aging traffic congestion. The hiD 6615 S223/S323 support ingress and egress (shaping) rate limiting, and different scheduling type such as SP (Strict Priority), WRR (Weighted Round Robin) and WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing).

Multicasting

Because broadcasting in a LAN is restricted if possible, multicasting could be used in- stead of broadcasting by forwarding multicast packets only to the member hosts who joined multicast group. The hiD 6615 S223/S323 provides IGMP V2, IGMP snooping and PIM-SM for host membership management and multicast routing.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is to manage Network Elements using TCP/IP protocol. The hiD 6615 S223/S323 supports SNMP version 1, 2, 3 and Remote Monitoring (RMON). Network operator can use MIB also to monitor and manage the hiD 6615 S223/S323.

IP Routing

The hiD 6615 S323 is Layer 3 switch, which has routing table and IP address as router. Therefore, it supports static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2 and BGP v4 for unicast routing.
