■ Relay Agent Information option (option 82) for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). When forwarding client-originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server, the Cajun switch inserts this option, which contains information about the switch. The DHCP server uses this information to authenticate the client. For information on how to enable option 82, see "Enabling Option 82 for DHCP" on page 12 of this document. ■ Enhancement of the MAC Address Lock feature. This feature has been availabl

Classification of Traffic You can classify traffic by: ■ 802.1p tag priority (default) ■ Physical source port ■ IP characteristics of the frame (source address, destination address, and so forth) Frames are classified into eight priorities, or classes, ranging in number from 0 to 7. By default, the switch uses the priority from the 802.1p tag field, if present, to assign a priority to a frame. You can alternately set each physical port with a priority that ranges from 0 to 7. The switch the

WFQ Queue-Servicing Algorithm You can configure the WFQ service policy. The WFQ policy implemented in the Cajun II Queue Classification and Servicing sub-system is a variation of the textbook WFQ algorithm. In Cajun II WFQ, each queue is assigned a weight increment. The weight increment never varies; however, each queue also maintains an accumulated weight, which is updated after each queue service cycle. Queues are serviced based upon their relative accumulated weights. In each queue ser

Configuring Port Mirroring By Using the CLI Use the following CLI commands to configure port mirroring on 80- series modules. You must be in Global Configuration command mode to enter these commands. * Note: For information on how to enter Global Configuration command mode, see “Accessing/Exiting the Command Modes” in chapter 1 of Cajun P550R/P880/P882 Command Reference Guide. Setting Up Port To set up port mirroring, use the following CLI command: Mirroring >(config)# set port mirror fa

Table 2. Port Ranges for 80-Series Port Mirroring Module Port ranges that you can mirror 4-port gigabit modules 1–2 3–4 Any single port You can mirror any four single ports simultaneously (one port per channel). However you cannot mirror a port range and a single port within that range simultaneously. Example: You can mirror port 1 on channel 1, port 2 on channel 2, and port 3 on channel 3 simultaneously. However, you cannot mirror ports 1 through 2 on channel 1 and port 2 on

Table 2. Port Ranges for 80-Series Port Mirroring Module Port ranges that you can mirror 24-port 10/100 modules 1–12 — any 1 port or the entire range. 13–24 — any 1 port or the entire range. If you mirror a single port, you can mirror only 1 port per range at a time. Example: You can mirror port 1 on channel 1 and port 13 on channel 2 simultaneously. However, you cannot mirror port 1 on channel 1 and port 2 on channel 2 simultaneously. 48-port 10/100 modules 1–12 — any 1 por
