Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domin thus increase network performance through reduced boardcast traffic. You can modify VLAN groups at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling. SERVER 802.
PAGE 48
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration • Untagged VLANs - Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on the Model 2160. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.
PAGE 49
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration Quality of Service (QoS) Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the network inadequate for time-critical application such as video-on-demand.

Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration • Weight Round Robin (WRR): All received packets will be stored into Queue 1, Queue 2, Queue 3, and Queue 4. Assign a weight value for each queue. Then, WRR will re-assemble all packets from the four queues based on the weight assignments. Figure 22. WRR Example For example, Figure 22 shows the weight value of each queue, ranging from 4, 2, 5, and 1.
PAGE 52
Model 2160 Series User Manual 4 • Web configuration • Strictly Priority (SP): The SP Queue Type uses queues that are based on priority only. SP transmits the highest priority queue first, then the next highest priority queue, and so on. However, if there is always some content in the highest priority queue, then the other packets in the rest of queues will not be sent until the highest priority queue is empty.

QoS - VLAN Tag Priority Table Configuration Example. As an example, you can set the Model 2160 to use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage of service time to provide each queue before moving on to the next queue.

Model 2160 Series User Manual 5 • Console and Telnet configuration QoS Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the network inadequate for a time-critical application such as video-on-demand.

Model 2160 Series User Manual 5 • Console and Telnet configuration VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has an 802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this Ethernet Extender), these tagged frames can carry VLAN membership information. Priority defines the user priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with 0 being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level.
