Dimension GS-1116/GS-1124 Gigabit Switch
1-2
Getting to Know the GS1116/GS-1124
Both ports 15 and 16 in the GS-1116 (or 23 and 24 in the GS-1124) support 3.3V Mini GBIC. The
GBIC port auto detects between Giga copper and Mini GBIC. The Mini GBIC module is optional.
When the Mini GBIC module is not installed, these act as Giga copper connections.
The switch is an ideal solution for solving traffic block at the core of the network. It offers auto-
negotiation 100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports that can significantly improve your network
backbone performance.

1.2.1 IEEE 802.1p Class of Service
The IEEE 802.1p Class of Service (CoS) provides two queues for high and low priority traffic. This
improves network efficiency and performance by giving higher priority to outgoing traffic. The lower
queue has a priority value in the range of zero to three and the higher queue has a priority value in the
range of four to seven.
