4 Brocade 6910 Ethernet Access Switch Configuration Guide

53-1002581-01

Description of Software Features

The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance enhancing features. Flow control

eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm

suppression prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. Untagged (port-based),

tagged, and protocol-based VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration provide

traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. CoS priority queueing ensures the minimum

delay for moving real-time multimedia data across the network. While multicast filtering provides

support for real-time network applications.

Some of the management features are briefly described below.

Configuration

Backup and

Restore

You can save the current configuration settings to a file on the management station (using the web

interface) or an FTP/SFTP/TFTP server (using the web or console interface), and later download

this file to restore the switch configuration settings.

Port Mirroring 8 sessions, one or more source ports to one analysis port

Congestion Control Rate Limiting

Throttling for broadcast, multicast, unknown unicast storms

Random Early Detection
