Optimize Performance With Quality of Service

NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility
Configure Port-Based Quality of Service
You can assign a priority to all data passing through a particular port. Data with a higher
priority is transmitted faster. If packets arrive at several ports at the same time, the ports
configured as higher priority transmit their packets first. You must determine which ports will
carry delay-sensitive data.
To configure port-based QoS:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon or tile.
The Switch Selection page displays a list of Web Managed (Plus) switches that it
discovers on the local network.
3. Select the switch.
If you do not see the switch, click the REFRESH button.
4. Click the APPLY button.
You are asked to enter the password for the switch.
5. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Status page displays.
6. Select QoS.
The Quality of Service page displays.
7. If this is the first time that you are setting up port-based QoS, select the Port Based radio
button and continue with Step 8.
Otherwise, see Step 9.
A pop-up window opens, informing you that the current QoS settings will be lost.
8. Click the Yes button.
The pop-up window closes and the port priority options display.
