Apply the Media Streaming Preset Mode
The Media Streaming Preset mode maximizes the throughput of traffic that the switch manages so that
streaming media such as music, videos, and movies can be processed very quickly. If you use the Media
Streaming mode, be sure that you connect your media streaming device to port 2 and the uplink to your
router to port 8.
Applying the Media Streaming Preset mode does the following:
• Sets the QoS port priority for ports 2 and 8 to Critical.
• Sets the QoS port priority for ports 1 and 3 through 7 to Low.
• Enables IGMP snooping for the switch (for more information, see Manage IGMP Snooping on page 65).
• Disables flow control for all ports (for more information, Manage Flow Control for a Port on page 36).
• Disables power saving for the switch (for more information, see Manage the Power Saving Mode on
page 78).
• Sets the QoS mode to port-based (for more information, see Use Port-Based Quality of Service and
Set Port Priorities on page 30).
Before you apply the Media Streaming Preset mode, you can save your current QoS, port prioritization,
multicast, flow control, and IGMP snooping settings and other settings as a custom preset mode (see Save
Your Quality of Service Settings as a Custom Preset Mode on page 28) so that you can easily revert to your
current QoS configuration.
To apply the Media Streaming Preset mode:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
