Table 45 Switch Configuration: Switch Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
VLAN Type Choose 802.1Q or Port Based from the drop-down list box. The VLAN
Setup screen changes depending on whether you choose 802.1Q or Port
Based VLAN type in this screen. See
Section 16.3 on page 137 and the
VLAN chapter for more information on VLANs.
MAC Address Aging Time MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC
address learning to occur on a port, the port must be active.
Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically
learned MAC addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age
out (and must be relearned).
Queuing Method Select a queuing method. Choices vary depending on your switch models.
Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) services queues based on priority only.
When the highest priority queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority
queue begins. The default queuing method is Strictly Priority.
Weighted Round Robin Scheduling (WRR) services queues on a
rotating basis based on their queue weight (the number you select from
the drop-down list box for the corresponding queue). Queues with larger
weights get more service than queues with smaller weights.
Weighted Fair Scheduling is used to guarantee each queue's minimum
bandwidth based on their bandwidth portion (weight) (the number you
configure in the Weight field). Queues with larger weights get more
guaranteed bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
