Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge with 5-Port Switch
Cost - The path cost to forward packets from this port, it's usually inversely proportional to the speed of the
port.
State - The STP state determined by the Spanning Tree protocol. They are Blocking, Listening, Learning and
Forwarding. This is determined by the STP Daemon.

QOS
This screen is used to configure the Quality of Service (QOS), Storm Filtering, and Flow Control settings for the
managed switch feature.
Global QOS Mode - There are 4 output queues per port with different priority. This QOS setting will let user
choose between a more evenly distributed Weighted Fair Queue or a strict Priority scheme. With Priority
scheme, the packets in the higher priority queue will always be forwarded first. With Weighted Fair Queue, the
switch will forward the packets with a 8:4:2:1 ratio.
Diff Serv Map - Select which bit in the packets' diff serv field to map to IP Diff Serv priority.
802.1p PRI Map - Select which bit in the packets' 802.1p priority field to map to 802.1p priority.
Click the Apply Global Setting button to save your global settings.
QOS Port Setting - Ports 1 through 5 are the wired ports. Port 6 is the wireless port.
QOS Priority - Select how to determine the QOS priority of each packet.
IP Diff Serv - It will use the IPv4 Diff Serv/Tos field to determine the QOS priority if the packet is an IP packet.
Otherwise, the lowest priority will be used.
802.1p - It will use the VLAN Priority Field to determine the QOS priority. Otherwise, the lowest priority will be
used.
Critical/High/Medium/Low - This setting will set all packets coming into this port to this priority value. Critical
is the highest and Low is the lowest.
Ingress Rate Mode - This is used for rate limiting. We can limit packet rate entering a specific port. This mode
will choose which packets will be limited. The limit will be set in the Ingress Rate field.
