GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RMT gives network administrators the ability to remotely configure and monitor dumb layer 2 switches as though they were intelligent switches. With QoS, Trunking, VLAN, bandwidth control, remote control, and an 0.18µm process, the RTL8316B is a cost effective switch controller for a 16-port 10/100 dumb or smart switch application. Port trunking is supported on all ports to increase bandwidth. Load balancing and fault tolerance provide top performance and reliability. The RTL8316B provides 2-level priority queues for multimedia or realtime network applications. The CoS (Class of Service) can be port-based, IEEE 802.1p tag-based, and/or TCP/IP header TOS/DS field-based. The RTL8316B supports up to 32 VLAN groups that may be configured as port-based VLANs and/or IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs. ARP broadcast and Leaky VLAN are also supported. The RTL8316B supports diagnostics and analysis. Counters are included for: RX byte count, RX packet count, TX byte count, TX packet count, CRC error packet count, collision packet count, dropped packet count, and dropped byte count.
