l Currently, each port can be configured on the device to forward data to other ports.
5.7 Bandwidth Control
Rate limit functions to control the ingress/egress traffic rate on each port via configuring the available bandwidth of each
port. In this way, the network bandwidth can be reasonably distributed and utilized.
Choose the menu Configuration→ Bandwidth Control to load the following page.
Figure 5-7-1
If you select port to set ingress/egress rate, the system will automatically select integral multiple of 16Kbps that closest to
the rate you entered as the real ingress/egress rate.
Ingress: Configure the bandwidth for receiving packets on the port. You can select a port to set Ingress rate, the system
will automatically select integral multiple of 16Kbps that closest to the rate you entered as the real Ingress rate.
Egress: Configure the bandwidth for sending packets on the port. You can select a port to set Egress rate, the system will
automatically select integral multiple of 16Kbps that closest to the rate you entered as the real Egress rate.
5.8 Jumbo Frame
Due to tremendous amount of traffic occurring in Ethernet, it is likely that some frames might have a frame size greater
than the standard Ethernet frame size. By allowing such frames (called jumbo frames) to pass through Ethernet ports, you
can forward frames with a size greater than the standard Ethernet frame size and yet still within the specified parameter
range.
