MSAP2000 AAMS User’s Guide

IEEE 802.1p Priority

Your MSAP2000 AAMS uses IEEE 802.1p Priority to assign priority levels to individual PVCs.

Multiple PVC and ATM QoS

The MSAP2000 AAMS allows you to use different channels (also called Permanent Virtual Circuits or PVCs) for different services or subscribers. Define channels on each DSL port for different services or levels of service and assign each channel a priority. ATM Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to regulate the average rate and fluctuations of data transmission. This helps eliminate congestion to allow the transmission of real time data (such as audio and video).

IEEE 802.1x Port-based Authentication

The MSAP2000 AAMS supports the IEEE 802.1x standard for centralized user authentication and accounting management through an optional network authentication (RADIUS) server or local user database.

Management

•Remote configuration backup/restore and firmware upgrade

•SNMP manageable

•Text-based management locally via console port and remotely via telnet

•Editable plain text based configuration file

Security

•Password protection for system management

•VLAN

MAC (Media Access Control) Count Filter

You can limit the number of MAC addresses that may be dynamically learned on a port. You may enable/disable the MAC count filter on individual ports.

Static Multicast Filter

Use the static multicast filter to allow incoming frames based on multicast MAC address(es) that you specify. This feature can be used in conjunction with IGMP snooping to allow multicast MAC address(es) that are not learned by IGMP snooping.

IGMP Snooping

With IGMP snooping, group multicast traffic is only forwarded to ports that are members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your MSAP2000 AAMS.
