Chapter 3 Hardware Installation

3.1 Desktop Installation

Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and allow air circulation.

Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.

B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.

C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Figure 2-4. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch

3.2 Rack-mounted Installation

The 24 10/100TX plus 2-Gigabit copper/Mini GBIC Combo Managed Switch comes with a rack-mounted kid and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack.

The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.

11

Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:

A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch.

Figure 2-4. Attach mounting brackets with screws

B. After attaching the mounting brackets, position the 24 10/100TX plus 2-Gigabit copper/Mini GBIC Combo Managed Switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch to the rack by a screwdriver with the rack-mounting screws.

Figure 2-5. Mount the Switch in 19” Rack

Note:

For proper ventilation, allows about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installation.

12

3.3 Cabling

Twisted-pair segment can be established by using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable between the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) and the switch must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long and comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard for Category 5e or above.

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical communications for both telecommunication and data communication applications.

Please note that you must use the class I optical transceivers which conform to U.S. code of federal regulation, 21 CFR 1040.

To connect the transceiver and LC cable, please follow the steps shown as below:

First, insert the transceiver into the SFP slot. Notice that the triangle mark is the bottom of the module.

Transceiver to the SFP module

Make sure the module is aligned correctly and then slide the module into the SFP slot until a click is heard.

13

Transceiver Inserted

Second, insert the fiber cable of LC connector into the transceiver.

LC connector to the transceiver

14

To remove the LC connector from the transceiver, please follow the steps shown below:

First, press the upper side of the LC connector from the transceiver and pull it out to release.

Remove LC connector

Second, push down the metal loop and pull the transceiver out by the plastic part.

Pull out from the SFP module

3.4 Wiring the Power Inputs

Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.

1. Insert AC or DC power wires into the contacts.

Power 1: Pin 1 (-), 3 (+)

Power 2: Pin 5 (-), 7 (+)

Ground: Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8

2. To tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosing.

Note

The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range between 12~

24 AWG.

16

3.5 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact

The fault alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the switch will detect the fault status of the power failure, or port link failure (available for managed model) and then forms an open circuit. The following illustration shows an application example for wiring the fault alarm contacts.

Insert the wires into the fault alarm contacts (No. 9 & 10)

17

Chapter 4 Network Application

This chapter provides some sample applications to help the user to have more actual idea of industrial switch function application. A sample application of the industrial switch is shown as below:

18

4.1 X-Ring Application

The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network system to recover from network connection failure within 20ms or less, and make the network system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP) algorithm but its recovery time is less than STP/RSTP. The figure below is a sample of X-Ring application.

19

4.2 Coupling Ring Application

In the network, it may have more than one X-Ring group. Using the coupling ring function can connect each X-Ring for the redundant backup. It can ensure the transmissions between two ring groups not to fail. The following figure is a sample of coupling ring application.

20

4.3 Dual Homing Application

Dual Homing function is to prevent the connection loss from between X-Ring group and upper level/core switch. Assign two ports to be the Dual Homing port that is backup port in the X-Ring group. The Dual Homing function only works when the X-

Ring function is active. Each X-Ring group only has one Dual Homing port.

[NOTE] In Dual Homing application architecture, the upper level switches need to enable the Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.

21

4.4 Central Ring Application

Central ring is the advanced function that supports backup connection for transmission redundant purpose. While the connection fails, the system will recover from failure within 20 milliseconds. Apart from that, Central Ring also can handle up to

4 rings by configuring only a single switch as the Ring Master switch.

22

4.5 X-RSTP Application

X-RSTP is an advanced technique, allowing users to deploy a redundant ring-based network providing faster recovery time than RSTP, and preventing the links from looping. Due to the multi-linking paths, X-RSTP can provide a reliable network to maintain the system in normal condition when some of the links broken.

23

Chapter 5 Console Management

5.1 Connecting to the Console Port

The supplied cable which one end is RS-232 connector and the other end is RJ-45 connector. Attach the end of RS-232 connector to PC or terminal and the other end of

RJ-45 connector to the console port of the switch. The connected terminal or PC must support the terminal emulation program.

6.5 IP Configuration

The switch is a network device which needs to be assigned an IP address for being identified on the network. Users have to decide a means of assigning IP address to the switch.

„ DHCP Client: Enable or disable the DHCP client function. When DHCP client function is enabled, the switch will be assigned an IP address from the network

DHCP server. The default IP address will be replaced by the assigned IP address on DHCP server. After the user clicks Apply, a popup dialog shows up to inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled, the current IP will lose and user should find the new IP on the DHCP server.

„ IP Address: Assign the IP address that the network is using. If DHCP client function is enabled, this switch is configured as a DHCP client. The network

DHCP server will assign the IP address to the switch and display it in this column.

The default IP is 192.168.16.1 or the user has to assign an IP address manually when DHCP Client is disabled.

„

Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address. If DHCP client function is disabled, the user has to assign the subnet mask in this column field.

„ Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the switch. If DHCP client function is disabled, the user has to assign the gateway in this column field. The default gateway is 192.168.16.254.

„ DNS1: Assign the primary DNS IP address.

6.6 DHCP Server

DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol that is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.

The system provides the DHCP server function. Having enabled the DHCP server function, the switch system will be configured as a DHCP server.

33

„ DHCP Server: Enable or Disable the DHCP Server function. Enable—the switch will be the DHCP server on your local network.

„ Low IP Address: Type in an IP address. Low IP address is the beginning of the dynamic IP range. For example, dynamic IP is in the range between

192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast, 192.168.1.100 is the Low IP address.

„ High IP Address: Type in an IP address. High IP address is the end of the dynamic IP range. For example, dynamic IP is in the range between

192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200. In contrast, 192.168.1.200 is the High IP address.

„ Subnet Mask: Type in the subnet mask of the IP configuration.

„ Gateway: Type in the IP address of the gateway in your network.

„ DNS: Type in the Domain Name Server IP Address in your network.

„ Lease Time (sec): It is the time period that system will reset the dynamic IP assignment to ensure the dynamic IP will not been occupied for a long time or the server doesn’t know that the dynamic IP is idle.

„ And then, click

Apply

.

6.8 System Event Log

This page allows the user to decide whether to send the system event log, and select the mode which the system event log will be sent to client only, server only, or both client and server. What kind of event log will be issued to the client/server depends on the selection on the Event Configuration tab. There are five types of event—Device Cold

Start, Device Warm Start, Authentication Failure, X-Ring Topology Change, and Port

Event—available to be issued as the event log.

„

Syslog Client Mode: Select the system log mode—Client Only, Server Only, or

Both

. ‘Client Only’ means the system event log will only be sent to this interface of the switch, but on the other hand ‘Server Only’ means the system log will only be sent to the remote system log server with its IP assigned. If the mode is set in ‘Both’, the system event log will be sent to the remote server and this interface.

„ System Log Server IP Address: When the ‘Syslog Mode’ item is set as Server

Only/Both, the user has to assign the system log server IP address to which the log will be sent.

(link up, link down, and both) can be sent to the system log server/SMTP server respectively by setting the trigger condition.

„ System event selection: There are 4 event types—Device Cold Start, Device

Warm Start, Authentication Failure, and X-ring Topology Change. The checkboxes are not available for ticking unless the Syslog Client Mode on the

Syslog Configuration tab and the E-mail Alert on the SMTP Configuration tab are enabled first.

¾ Device cold start: When the device executes cold start action, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.

¾ Device warm start: When the device executes warm start, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.

¾ Authentication Failure: When the SNMP authentication fails, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.

¾

X-ring topology change: When the X-ring topology has changed, the system will issue the event log/email alert to the system log/SMTP server respectively.

„ Port event selection: Also, before the drop-down menu items are available, the

Syslog Client Mode

selection item on the Syslog Configuration tab and the E-

mail Alert

selection item on the SMTP Configuration tab must be enabled first.

Those drop-down menu items have 3 selections—Link UP, Link Down, and Link

UP & Link Down

6.10 SNTP Configuration

SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP which is an

Internet protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers to some time reference.

Because time usually just advances, the time on different node stations will be different. With the communicating programs running on those devices, it would cause time to jump forward and back, a non-desirable effect. Therefore, the switch provides comprehensive mechanisms to access national time and frequency dissemination services, organize the time-synchronization subnet and the local clock in each participating subnet peer.

Daylight saving time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

„

SNTP Client: Enable/disable SNTP function to get the time from the SNTP server.

„ Daylight Saving Time: This is used as a control switch to enable/disable daylight saving period and daylight saving offset. Users can configure Daylight Saving

Period and Daylight Saving Offset in a certain period time and offset time while there is no need to enable daylight saving function. Afterwards, users can just set this item as enable without assign Daylight Saving Period and Daylight Saving

Offset again.

„ UTC Timezone: Universal Time, Coordinated. Set the switch location time zone.

6.13 Advanced Configuration

This page enables the user to select the filter packet type including Flooded

Unicast/Multicast Packets

, Control Packets, IP Multicast Packets, and Broadcast

Packets

for the purpose of limiting the network bandwidth not being occupied by those storm-like packets. All the packet type filtering conditions can be active at the same time. Besides, the user can configure Broadcast Storm Rate of this switch to limit the ingress broadcast storm rate.

Flooded Unicast:

LAN switches use forwarding tables to direct traffic to specific ports based on the VLAN number and the destination MAC address of the frame. When there is no entry corresponding to the frame’s destination MAC address in the incoming VLAN, the unicast frame will be sent to all forwarding ports within the respective VLAN, which causes flooding.

Multicast:

Multicast is the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, creating copies only when the links to the destinations split.

IP Multicast Packets:

An IP Multicast group address is used by sources and the receivers to send and receive packets. Sources use the group address as the IP destination address in their data packets. Receivers use this group address to inform the network that they are interested in receiving packets sent to that group.

6.17.1 Broadcast Storm Filter

„ Flooded Unicast/Multicast Packets: When this checkbox is ticked, the switch will filter the flooded Unicast/Multicast packets in accordance with the filter rate set in the Broadcast Storm Rate selection item.

„ Control Packets: Having ticked this checkbox, the switch will enable the filter of control packets including BPDU (RSTP/LACP/GVRP), ARP, EAPOL etc. in accordance with the filter rate set in the Broadcast Storm Rate selection item.

„ IP multicast Packets: Having ticked this checkbox, the switch will filter the IP multicast packets in accordance with the filter rate set in the Broadcast Storm

When the MAC address table is full, it won’t learn the MAC address any more.

Therefore, the aging time function allows users to set aging time in seconds for each record. Once the aging time of the record matches the setting, the record (dynamic

MAC address) will be removed from the MAC table. Also, the records will be removed from the MAC table when the particular port links down, which means that every record will be removed if it was learned from that port.

Aging Time interface

„ Aging Time of MAC Table: Set the aging time as OFF, 150 sec, 300 sec, or 600 sec to remove the record (s) whose property of aging time match this setting.

Jumbo Frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1522 bytes of payload.

Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9022 bytes of payload. Many, but not all, gigabit Ethernet switches and gigabit Ethernet network interface cards support jumbo frames, but all fast Ethernet switches/network interface cards support only standardsized frames. It requires hardware and software process for each frame. With the frame size being increased, the same amount of data can be transferred with less effort.

System Priority: A value which is used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP peer of the trunk group.

„ Group ID: There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the trunk group.

„ LACP: When enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an

LACP trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first. Please notice that a trunk group, including member ports split between two switches, has to enable the LACP function of the two switches. When disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any handshaking with its member ports; but member ports won’t know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk group.

„ Work ports: This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active port up to four. With LACP static trunk group, e.g. you assign four ports to be the members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is set as two; the exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be aggregated if working ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP), the number of work ports must equal the total number of group member ports.

6.18 Port Mirroring

The Port mirroring is a method for monitoring traffic in switched networks. Traffic through ports can be monitored by one specific port, which means traffic goes in or out Monitored (source) port will be duplicated into Analysis (destination) port.

Port Trunk – Port Mirroring interface

„ Mode: Choose the type of being monitored packets. RX means only the received packets of the monitored port will be copied and sent to the analysis port. TX means only the transmitted packets of the monitored port will be copied and sent to the analysis port. Both RX/TX means both received & transmitted packets of the monitored port will be copied and sent to the analysis port.

„ Analysis Port: There is only one port can be selected to be the analysis

(destination) port for monitoring both RX and TX traffic which come from the source port. Users can connect the analysis port to LAN analyzer or Netxray.

„ Monitored Port: Choose a port number to be monitored. Only one port can be monitored during the monitoring process.

„ And then, click

6.20 VLAN configuration

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same

VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN on a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.

This switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN. The default configuration of VLAN operation mode is “Disable”.

VLAN Configuration interface

75

A port-based VLAN basically consists of its members—ports, which means the VLAN is created by grouping the selected ports. This method provides the convenience for users to configure a simple VLAN easily without complicated steps. Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLANtagging is ignored. The port-based VLAN function allows the user to create separate

VLANs to limit the unnecessary packet flooding; however, for the purpose of sharing resource, a single port called a common port can belongs to different VLANs, which all the member devices (ports) in different VLANs have the permission to access the common port while they still cannot communicate with each other in different VLANs.

[NOTE]

Remember to execute the “Save Configuration” action, otherwise the new configuration will lose when switch power off.

78

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) can be implemented on the switch to logically create different broadcast domain.

When the 802.1Q VLAN function is enabled, all ports on the switch belong to default

VLAN of VID 1, which means they logically are regarded as members of the same broadcast domain. The valid VLAN ID is in the range of number between 1 and 4094.

The amount of VLAN groups is up to 256 including default VLAN that cannot be deleted.

Each member port of 802.1Q is on either an Access Link (VLAN-tagged) or a Trunk

Link (no VLAN-tagged). All frames on an Access Link carry no VLAN identification.

Conversely, all frames on a Trunk Link are VLAN-tagged. Besides, there is the third mode—Hybrid. A Hybrid Link can carry both VLAN-tagged frames and untagged frames. A single port is supposed to belong to one VLAN group, except it is on a

Trunk/Hybrid Link.

The technique of 802.1Q tagging inserts a 4-byte tag, including VLAN ID of the destination port—PVID, in the frame. With the combination of Access/Trunk/Hybrid

Links, the communication across switches also can make the packet sent through tagged and untagged ports.

79

802.1Q Configuration

„ Pull down the selection item and focus on 802.1Q then press

Apply

to set the

VLAN Operation Mode in 802.1Q mode.

„ Enable GVRP Protocol: GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a protocol that facilitates control of virtual local area networks (VLANs) within a larger network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification, which defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration data. This allows network devices to dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices. For example, having enabled GVRP on two switches, they are able to automatically exchange the information of their VLAN database. Therefore, the user doesn’t need to manually configure whether the link is trunk or hybrid, the packets belonging to the same VLAN can communicate across switches. Tick this checkbox to enable GVRP protocol. This checkbox is available while the VLAN

Operation Mode is in 802.1Q mode.

„ Management VLAN ID: Only when the VLAN members, whose Untagged VID

(PVID) equals to the value in this column, will have the permission to access the switch. The default value is ‘0’ that means this limit is not enabled (all members in different VLANs can access this switch).

„ Select the port you want to configure.

„ Link Type: There are 3 types of link type.

¾ Access Link: A segment which provides the link path for one or more stations to the VLAN-aware device. An Access Port (untagged port), connected to the access link, has an untagged VID (also called PVID). After an untagged frame gets into the access port, the switch will insert a four-byte tag in the frame. The contents of the last 12-bit of the tag is untagged VID.

When this frame is sent out through any of the access port of the same PVID, the switch will remove the tag from the frame to recover it to what it was.

Those ports of the same untagged VID are regarded as the same VLAN group members.

Note: Because the access port doesn’t have an understanding of tagged frame, the column field of Tagged VID is not available.

80

¾ Trunk Link: A segment which provides the link path for one or more VLANaware devices (switches). A Trunk Port, connected to the trunk link, has an understanding of tagged frame, which is used for the communication among

VLANs across switches. Which frames of the specified VIDs will be forwarded depends on the values filled in the Tagged VID column field.

Please insert a comma between two VIDs.

Note:

1. A trunk port doesn’t insert tag into an untagged frame, and therefore the untagged

VID column field is not available.

2. It’s not necessary to type ‘1’ in the tagged VID. The trunk port will forward the frames of VLAN 1.

3. The trunk port has to be connected to a trunk/hybrid port of the other switch. Both the tagged VID of the two ports have to be the same.

¾ Hybrid Link: A segment which consists of Access and Trunk links. The hybrid port has both the features of access and trunk ports. A hybrid port has a PVID belonging to a particular VLAN, and it also forwards the specified tagged-frames for the purpose of VLAN communication across switches.

Note:

1. It’s not necessary to type ‘1’ in the tagged VID. The hybrid port will forward the frames of VLAN 1.

2. The trunk port has to be connected to a trunk/hybrid port of the other switch. Both the tagged VID of the two ports have to be the same.

„ Untagged VID: This column field is available when Link Type is set as Access

Link and Hybrid Link. Assign a number in the range between 1 an 4094.

„ Tagged VID: This column field is available when Link Type is set as Trunk Link and Hybrid Link. Assign a number in the range between 1 an 4094.

„ The user can view spanning tree information of Root Bridge.

„ The user can modify RSTP state. After modification, click

Apply

.

¾ RSTP mode: The user must enable the RSTP function first before configuring the related parameters.

¾ Priority (0-61440): The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. If the value is changed, the user must reboot the switch. The value must be a multiple of 4096 according to the protocol standard rule.

¾ Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds a switch waits without receiving

Spanning-tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6 through 40.

¾ Hello Time (1-10): The time that controls the switch to send out the BPDU packet to check RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1 through 10.

¾ Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds a port waits before changing from its Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to the forwarding state. Enter a value between 4 through 30.

[NOTE]

Follow the rule as below to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and

Forward Delay Time.

This web page provides the port configuration interface for RSTP. You can assign higher or lower priority to each port. Rapid spanning tree will have the port with the higher priority in forwarding state and block other ports to make certain that there is no loop in the LAN.

„ Select the port in the port column field.

„ Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000.

„ Priority: Decide which port should be blocked by setting its priority as the lowest.

Enter a number between 0 and 240. The value of priority must be the multiple of

16.

„ Admin P2P: The rapid state transitions possible within RSTP are dependent upon whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly another bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared medium LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status of the link to be manipulated administratively. True means the port is regarded as a point-to-point link. False means the port is regarded as a shared link. Auto means the link type is determined by the autonegotiation between the two peers.

„ Admin Edge: The port directly connected to end stations won’t create bridging loop in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to “True” status.

„ Admin Non Stp: The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is not including STP mathematic calculation. False is including the STP mathematic calculation.

6.23 QoS Configuration

Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. QoS guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP or

Video Teleconferencing, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication. In the absence of network congestion, QoS mechanisms are not required.

„ QoS Mode: Select the QoS policy rule.

¾ Disable Qos Priority: The default status of QoS Priority is disabled.

¾ High Empty Then Low: When all the high priority packets are empty in queue, low priority packets will be processed then.

¾

Highest:SecHigh:SecLow:Lowest=8:4:2:1: The switch will follow 8:4:2:1 rate to process priority queue from High to lowest queue. For example, while the system processing, 1 frame of the lowest queue, 2 frames of the low queue, 4 frames of the middle queue, and 8 frames of the high queue will be processed at the same time in accordance with the 8,4,2,1 policy rule.

¾ Highest:SecHigh:SecLow:Lowest=15:7:3:1: Having set this QoS mode, the process order is in compliance with the transfer rate of 15:7:3:1.

¾ Highest:SecHigh:SecLow:Lowest=15:10:5:1: Having set this QoS mode, the process order is in compliance with the transfer rate of 15:10:5:1.

„ 802.1p priority [7-0]: Configure per priority level. Priority 0 ~ 7: each priority has four priority levels—Highest, SecHigh, SecLow, and Lowest.

„ Default Ingress Port Priority Mapping: Configure the priority level for each port. The port ingress level is between 0 and 7.

„ TOS/DSCP Priority Mapping: The system provides 0 ~ 63 TOS priority level. Each level has 8 priorities—0 ~ 7. The default priority for each port is 0. When the IP packet is received, the system will check the TOS level value in the IP packet. For example,

94

TOS level 25 is set as 0 and each port only follows the TOS priority policy. When the packet received through all the ports on the switch, the system will check the TOS value of the received IP packet. If the TOS value of received IP packet is 25 (priority =

0), the packet priority has the highest priority.

6.24 IGMP Configuration

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the

Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP have three fundamental types of message shown as follows:

Message

Query

Report

Description

A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response from each host belonging to the multicast group.

A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report message.

Leave

Group

A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit being a member of a specific multicast group.

The switch supports IP multicast. You can enable IGMP protocol via setting the IGMP

Configuration page to see the IGMP snooping information. IP multicast addresses are in the range of 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.

„ IGMP Protocol: Enable or disable the IGMP protocol.

„ IGMP Query: Select the IGMP query function as Enable or Auto to set the switch as a querier for IGMP version 2 multicast networks.

„ Last Member Query Count: This item allows the user to specify the query counts—1 or 2. If query count is set as 1, the switch will query whether any member is still in the IGMP group for sending one query after the query interval.

With query count being set as 2, the switch will send two queries after the query interval.

6.26 X-Ring

X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the

X-Ring topology, every switch should be enabled with X-Ring function and two ports should be assigned as the member ports in the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group would be set as the master switch that one of its two member ports would be blocked, called backup port, and another port is called working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches and their two member ports are called working ports. When the failure of network connection occurs, the backup port of the master switch (Ring Master) will automatically become a working port to recover from the failure.

The switch supports the function and interface for setting the switch as the ring master or not. The ring master can negotiate and place command to other switches in the X-

Ring group. If there are 2 or more switches in master mode, the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring master. The X-Ring master ring mode can be enabled by setting the X-Ring configuration interface. Also, the user can identify whether the switch is the ring master by checking the R.M. LED indicator on the panel of the switch.

The system also supports the Couple Ring that can connect 2 or more X-Ring group for the redundant backup function; Dual Homing function that can prevent connection lose between X-Ring group and upper level/core switch. Apart from the advantages,

Central Ring

can handle up to 4 rings in the system and has the ability to recover from failure within 20 milliseconds.

This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again. Via this interface, you can add / modify / delete a static MAC address.

Add the Static MAC Address

You can add static MAC address in the switch’s MAC table here. If the destination address and the VLAN ID of the packet meet the conditions set in the Static MAC

Addresses

table, the packet will be forwarded to the port only.

„ MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the port that should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device network activity.

„ Port No.: Pull down the selection menu to select the port number to which the traffic will be forwarded.

„ VLAN ID: Key in the VLAN ID to be the forwarding condition.

.

„ If you want to delete the MAC address from filtering table, select the MAC address and click

Delete

.

107

Static MAC Addresses interface

108

By filtering MAC address with VLAN ID, the switch will drop the packet when both its destination MAC address and VLAN ID meet the condition configured in the MAC

Filtering

table. You can add and delete the MAC filters.

You can view all of the MAC addresses learned by the selected port. This interface shows the MAC addresses information group by port.

„ Port No.: Select the port number to view its MAC address.

„ Current MAC Address: The static & dynamic MAC address information of the selected port will be displayed in here.

6.29.4 MAC Address Table—Multicast Filtering

Multicasts are similar to broadcasts, they are sent to all end stations on a LAN or

VLAN. Multicast filtering is the function, which end stations can receive the multicast traffic if the connected ports had been included in the specific multicast groups. With multicast filtering, network devices only forward multicast traffic to the ports that are connected to the registered end stations.

„ IP Address: Assign a multicast group IP address in the range of 224.0.0.0 ~

239.255.255.255.

„ VLAN ID: Assign a VLAN ID that limit the source and destination ports must belong to the same VLAN. Therefore, the packet meets the conditions will then be forwarded to the destination port.

„ Member Ports: Tick the check box beside the port number to include them as the member ports in the specific multicast group IP address.

„ Click

Add

to append a new filter of multicast to the field, or select the filter in the field and click

Troubles shooting

„ Verify that you are using the right power cord/adapter (AC/DC 100 ~ 240V).

Please don’t use the power output higher than 240V, or this switch will be burned down.

„ Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct the user network. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections that depend on the connector type the switch equipped: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections, 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections, or 100Ω Category 5e/above cable for 1000Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

„

Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators, which describe common problems the user may encounter and where the user can find possible solutions.

„ If the power indicator does not light on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with power cord. Then check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact the local dealer for assistance.

„ If the LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the packets still cannot be transmitted. Please check the user system’s Ethernet devices’ configuration or status.

Appendix A — RJ-45 Pin Assignment

„ RJ-45 ports

The UTP/STP ports will automatically sense for Fast Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX connections), or Gigabit Ethernet (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T connections).

Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation without changing straight through or crossover cabling. See the figures below for straight through and crossover cable schematic.
