NETGEAR green power-saving features:
-
Energy efficiency mode that fully conforms to the IEEE802.3az standard.
- Per-port automatic change to a lower power mode when the port link is down.
Among the key software features, the switch provides traffic management and multicast
efficiency:
•
Traffic management:
- Dynamic MAC address management.
- IEEE 802.1Q–based or port-based VLAN.
- QoS based on weighted round robin (WRR).
-
Port-based and IEEE 802.1p–based Quality of Service (QoS).
-
QoS based on Type of Service (ToS).
- DSCP support.
- Rate limiting.
•
Multicast efficiency:
-
IGMP snooping, v1, v2 and v3 (source filtering is not supported).
-
Blocking of unknown multicast traffic.
- Static multicast router port.
Certain features such as USB charging ports, link aggregation, and PoE+ ports are
available on specific switch models, as follows:
•
USB charging ports. See USB charging ports (model GSS108E) on page 18.
•
Link aggregation . See Static LAG connections (models GSS116E and GSS108EPP)
on page 20.
•
PoE+ ports. See PoE applications (model GSS108EPP) on page 21.
