can enable the Port Mirroring feature. This feature allows all of the
traffic on any given port to be duplicated on a selected second port, so
it can be monitored and analyzed to help troubleshooting the network
and ensure the whole system behaves as required.
IEEE 802.1p. By defining certain switch ports, or certain traffic types,
with different priority levels, 802.1p prioritizes network flows so that
critical data is allowed to jump ahead of normal network traffic
passing through the switch at the same time. Network traffic priority
classification can be made by Port, by Tag or by IP Type of Service
(ToS).
validating network traffic entering each port to a list of acceptable
MAC addresses. If an unauthorized device is connected to any port on
the switch, the device will be refused connection by the Port Security
feature. The list of accepted devices can be entered by a system
manager, or learned and controlled by the MultiLink Switch itself.
MultiLink's Event Log will store and timestamp all configuration
changes and network problems detected by the switch. This data
can be used to analyze network problems and provide traceability to
network configuration changes.

network performance and security, MultiLink switches provide
support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) with compliance to
IEEE 802.1q. VLANs allow separation of a larger physical network
into smaller Virtual networks restrict network traffic to only VLAN on
which it resides, preventing excess traffic from crowding the network,
improving bandwidth allocation and optimizing network efficiency.
