Advanced Industrial Ethernet Capability
•
Message Rate Filtering (Broadcast Storm Protection)
Poorly configured applications and devices or malicious users can flood your
network with broadcast packets that are forwarded to all ports and can quickly
consume most of a network’s bandwidth. The EOTec 2104 Ethernet Ring Switch
protects against broadcast storms by limiting the quantity of broadcast and
multicast messages. This protection is enabled by default.
•
Priority Queuing (Traffic Prioritization using QoS, CoS, ToS/DiffServ)
With priority queuing configured in the EOTec 2104 Ethernet Ring Switch, lowpriority data will not interfere with your time-critical data again. Network traffic can
be prioritized to achieve the performance that time-sensitive data demands.
Refer to the EOTec 2104 Switch Tools on-line help for more information and
details on configuring priority queuing.
•
Port Mirroring
This advanced diagnostic capability allows messages from one or more ports to
be copied to another port. Then a port analyzer or sniffer program can be used to
monitor the traffic without affecting the operation of the switch. Configure the
Weed Ring Switch for port mirroring through the EOTec 2104 Switch Tools. See
the on-line help for details.
Important: To ensure the highest rate of communication for your switch connection and
minimize lost data due to collisions or bottlenecks always match port settings with the
connected link partner. See Configuring the 2104 Ring Switch Ports section for more
information.
