	LINK	DESCRIPTION
	Queuing	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure queuing with
	Method	associated queue weights for each port.

	VLAN Stacking	This link takes you to screens where you can configure VLAN stacking
		which helps to distinguish multiple customers VLANs.

	Multicast	This link takes you to screens where you can configure various multicast
		features, IGMP snooping and create multicast VLANs.

	AAA	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure authentication,
		authorization and accounting services via external servers. The external
		servers can be either RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
		Service) or TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System
		Plus).

	IP Source	This link takes you to screens where you can configure filtering of
	Guard	unauthorized DHCP and ARP packets in your network.

	Loop Guard	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure protection
		against network loops that occur on the edge of your network.

	VLAN Mapping	This link takes you to screens where you can configure VLAN mapping
		settings on the Switch.

	Layer 2	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure L2PT (Layer 2
	Protocol	Protocol Tunneling) settings on the Switch.
	Tunneling

	sFlow	This link takes you to screens where you can configure sFlow settings on
		the Switch. This feature is used to monitor traffic in switched networks.

	Errdisable	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure the Switch to
		limit specific traffic, to shut down a port because of specific reasons and
		activate the port automatically for preconfigured criteria.

	PPPoE	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure PPPoE
		Intermediate Agent settings on the Switch.

	Private VLAN	This link takes you to a screen where you can block traffic between ports
		in a VLAN on the Switch.

	Green	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure Green Ethernet
	Ethernet	power saving settings on the Switch.

	IP Application

	Static Routing	This link takes you to a screen where you can configure static routes. A
		static route defines how the Switch should forward traffic by configuring
		the TCP/IP parameters manually.

	DiffServ	This link takes you to screens where you can enable DiffServ, configure
		Two Rate Three Color Marker settings and set DSCP-to-IEEE802.1p
		mappings.

	DHCP	This link takes you to screens where you can configure the DHCP
		settings.

	Management

	Maintenance	This link takes you to screens where you can perform firmware and
		configuration file maintenance as well as reboot the system.

	Access Control	This link takes you to screens where you can change the system login
		password and configure SNMP and remote management.
