• Port Mirroring for monitoring purposes
This function allows you to set up a ‘mirror’ port on any specified port/s, such
that you can monitor the traffics of the monitored port/s without intervening
them. In effect, the traffics on the monitored port/s are replicated on the mirror
port, such that you can use a protocol analyzer to analyze the traffic for specific
problem.
• Port Priority for traffic prioritization (QoS)
Compex SXP224WM supports first come first serve basis. You can set the port
priority according to the types of operations you are working in.
• Bandwidth Control for limiting network bandwidth
Bandwidth control allows you to specify the maximum line bandwidth that a
particular transfer operation can use, so that it can be carried out at low priority
in the background without interfering any users or network applications. It is
ideally suitable for interactive network users.
• Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Compex SXP2224WM can support both port-based and 802.1Q VLANs. It
allows network administrator to separate the network into a few segments by
defining which port belong to which VLAN segment. This can effectively
control broadcast and multi-cast packet flooding the network. This not only
improves the network performance, but also provides security between
workgroups.
