Features 21
A LAG is composed of ports with the same speed, set to full-duplex
operation.
For more information, see
LAG Configuration .
Link Aggregation and LACP
LACP uses peer exchanges across links to determine, on an ongoing basis, the
aggregation capability of various links, and continuously provides the
maximum level of aggregation capability achievable between a given pair of
devices. LACP automatically determines, configures, binds, and monitors the
port binding within the system.
For more information, see
Link Aggregation .
BootP and DHCP Clients
DHCP enables additional setup parameters to be received from a network
server upon system startup. DHCP service is an on-going process. DHCP is an
extension of BootP.

Quality of Service Features
Class of Service 802.1p Support
The IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard for marking
and prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC sub-layer. 802.1p traffic
is classified and sent to the destination. No bandwidth reservations or limits
are established or enforced. 802.1p is a spin-off of the 802.1Q (VLANs)
standard. 802.1p establishes eight levels of priority, similar to the IP
Precedence IP Header bit-field.

Quality of Service .
Advanced QoS
Frames that match an ACL and were permitted entrance are implicitly
labeled with the name of the ACL that permitted their entrance. Advanced
mode QoS actions defined in network policies can then be applied to these
flows.
