§ One tri-color LED on the PIC faceplate that indicates overall status of
the PIC
§ Per-port pair of LEDs indicating Link OK and Receive Activity
Additionally, the Gigabit Ethernet PIC works with the Internet Processor II™
ASIC to support filtering, sampling, load balancing, class of service, and rate
limiting.
802.1Q VLAN Support
The Gigabit Ethernet PIC supports 802.1Q VLANs. In a hosting environment,
VLANs enable you to partition traffic from different servers into separate
subnets without having to use separate physical circuits between the switch
and the router. The router will partition the traffic according to the VLAN tags
within the packets, supporting multiple VLANs per port.
VRRP Support
The Gigabit Ethernet PIC supports VRRP at the physical interface level and
independently over each 802.1Q VLAN. Hence, a physical port can act as a
backup for another physical port, or you can configure VLANs on two
physical ports to act as backups for each other.
Port Monitoring
The Gigabit Ethernet PIC supports the collection of port statistics using the
EtherStats portion of the RMON MIB. These statistics are available both
through the CLI and through SNMP. Additionally, the following information is
available on the CLI.
§ All LED status information
§ Source address accounting statistics
§ MAC filtering status
