4 Optimize Performance With Quality of Service This chapter covers the following topics: • • • • Enable 802.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX Enable 802.1p/DSCP-Based Quality of Service 802.1p/DSCP-based priority uses a field in the data packet header that identifies the class of data in the packet (for example, voice or video). When 802.1p/DSCP-based priority is used, the switch reads information in the packet header to determine the priority to assign to the packet. The switch reads both 802.1p tag information and DSCP/ToS tag information.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX Configure Port-Based Quality of Service You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports configured as higher priority transmit their packets first. You must determine which ports will carry delay-sensitive data. To configure port-based QoS: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX 10. To set a different port priority for one or more other ports, repeat Step 9. Set Up Rate Limiting You can limit the rate at which the switch accepts incoming data and the rate that it retransmits outgoing data. Rate limiting can be set for a port in addition to other QoS settings. If the port rate limit is set, the switch restricts the acceptance or retransmission of data to the values configured. To set up rate limiting: 1.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX Set Up Broadcast Filtering You can configure the switch to block broadcast storms (massive transmission of broadcast packets forwarded to every port on the same VLAN). If they are not blocked, broadcast storm packets can delay or halt the transmission of other data. Some switches allow you to select a storm control rate for each port. Others assign a predetermined storm control rate for all ports on the switch.
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX 9. To set a different rate for one or more other ports, repeat Step 8.
