5.
Supports 4 Queues
6.
Fixed value that is not provisionable - only supported on 7x6MOD
7.
Up to thirty different rate limits are supported: 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 756Kbps, 1Mbps, 1.5Mbps
2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4 Mbps, 5Mbps, 6Mbps, 7Mbps, 8Mbps, 9Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, 16Mbps,
18Mbps, 20Mbps, 25Mbps 30Mbps, 35Mbps, 40Mbps, 45Mbps, 50Mbps, 60Mbps, 70Mbps, 80Mbps
and 90Mbps independently on each port and on the frame direction: Tx or Rx
8.
On non-gig capable versions - Up to seven different rate limits are supported: 128Kbps, 256Kbps,
512Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 4 Mbps and 8Mbps independently on each port and on the frame direction: Tx
or Rx. If additional granularity or higher limits are needed, please see the section on Network Processor
Based Rate Limiting.
9.
On Non Gig capable versions - If it is necessary to rate limit TCP traffic - then it is recommended to use
the Network Processor Based Rate Limiting. Rate Limiting in the RX direction can result in packet loss -
which results in lower throughput than configured for TCP sessions.
10.
Rate limiting on these devices is based on 64Kb granularity - the user is able to enter values between 0
and 100Mbps
11.
Rate limiting on these devices is based on 64Kb granularity - the user is able to enter values between 0
and 100Mbps.
12.
Coax Mode is not supported.
13.
When assigning VLANs - these ports can be defined as TAGGED or UNTAGGED - it is not possible to
support both.
14.
Supports BroadCast Rate Limiting and MultiCast Rate Limiting
15.
Ports supported are from Lan1 up to a max of LAN6 - depending on the number of Ethernet ports avail-
able.
16.
Additional ports can be present depending on the Module added - for example hpna - if the HPNA Lan
module is present; CESC and CESD if the T1/E1 Circuit emulation module is present; Glan if the Gig
WAN Module is present. All these ports can be managed like a normal LAN port - but it is not recom-
mended that any changes be made to the CESC port.
17.
It is possible ot use the LAN4 port as a WAN port.
18.
It is possible to use the LAN6 port as a Wan port - if the Fiber port is not being used.
19.
Supported Rate Limits for Broadcast and multicast data are 3.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% or the total port
capacity.
20.
On Gig Enabled devices, Supported Rate Limits for Broadcast and Multicast data are
128Kbps,
256Kbps, 512Kbps, 756Kbps, 1Mbps, 1.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 5Mbps, 6Mbps, 7Mbps,
8Mbps, 9Mbps, 10Mbps 12Mbps, 14Mbps, 16Mbps, 18Mbps, 20Mbps, 25Mbps, 30Mbps, 35Mbps,
40Mbps, 45Mbps, 50Mbps, 60Mbps, 70Mbps, 80Mbps, 90Mbps.
21.
Supports FLOW
and JAMMING Control of flow-control options.
22.
On Gig Ports the same rates are supported below 100Mbps. In addtion the following rates are sup-
ported: 100Mbps, 150MBps, 200Mbps, 250Mbps, 300Mbps, 350MBps, 400Mbps, 450Mbps,
500Mbps, 600Mbps, 700Mbps, 800Mbps, 900Mbps.
