Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total
bandwidth of a network, eliminated congestion problems, and greatly
reduced unnecessary transmissions.
This revolutionized networking by allowing two-way, simultaneous
transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex) that essentially
doubled the bandwidth. Secondly, it reduced the collision domain to a
single switch-port that eliminated the need for carrier sensing.
This technology also uses a store-and-forward technology approach
of inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data,
eliminating unnecessary transmissions that slow the network.
Ethernet Switching Technology supplies higher performance at lower
costs than other solutions. Due to wider bandwidth, no congestion,
and the reduction in traffic, switching is replacing expensive routers
and inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution.
Management Methods
The SmartGST-801M supports the following management methods:
n
n
n
Console and Telnet Management
Web-based Management
SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port.
Managing the SmartGST-801M with this method requires a direct
connection between a PC and the switch. Telnet management is
done over a network. Once the SmartGST-801M is on the network,
you can use Telnet to Log in and change the configuration.
Web-based Management
This switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash
memory. It offers advanced management features and allows users
to manage the SmartGST-801M from anywhere on the network
through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides
monitoring and control of network devices. It manages
configurations, statistic collection, performance, and security.

Network Application
This section provides a few samples of network topology in which the
SmartGST-801M is used. This switch is designed as a desktop or
segment switch.
Segment Application
In enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly
processed, this switch is perfect for departmental connections to the
corporate backbone.
Figure 3-2 Segment Application
You can use the SmartGST-801M to connect PCs, workstations, and
servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the
Switch. All the devices in this network can communicate with one
another. Connecting servers to the backbone switch allows other
users to access the server s data.
The SmartGST-801M automatically learns node addresses, which
filter, and forward all traffic based on the destination address. You
can use any of the Fiber ports to connect with another switch or hub
to interconnect each of your small switched workgroups to form a
larger and long distance switched network.
Figure 3-3 Use fiber ports to extend the distance between workgroups
In the above illustration, two SmartGST-801Ms are used to
interconnect two small workgroups. By using fiber ports to connect
switches, the distance between two switches via fiber cable can be
up to 30Km (using a SC Single Mode fiber connector).

Miscellaneous Setting:
MAC Address Age-out Time: Type the number of seconds that an
inactive MAC address remains in the switch’s address table. The valid
range is 300 ~ 765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.
Max bridge transit delay bound control: Limit the packet queuing time
in switch. If enabled, the packets exceeding queuing time will be dropped.
The valid values are 1 sec, 2 sec, 4 sec, and OFF. Default is 1 second.
Broadcast Storm Filter: To configure Broadcast Storm Control, enable it
and set the upper threshold for individual ports. The threshold is the
percentage of the port’s total bandwidth used by broadcast traffic. When
broadcast traffic for a port rises above the threshold you set, Broadcast
Storm Control becomes active. The valid threshold value are 5%, 10%,
15%, 20%, 25%, and OFF.
Priority Queue Service settings:
First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent depends on
arrival order.
All High before Low: All high priority packets sent before low priority
packets.
Weighted Round Robin: Select the preference given to packets in the
switch’s high-priority queue.
These options represent the number of high priority packets sent before
one low priority packet is sent. For example, 2 High: 1 Low means that
the switch sends 2 high priority packets before sending 1 low priority
packet.
Enable Delay Bound: Limits the queuing time for low priority packets.
The default Maximum Delay Time is 255ms.
If the low priority packets stay in the switch over the Max Delay Time,
they will be sent. The valid time range is 1 ~ 255 ms.
NOTE: Max bridge transit delay bound control must be enabled before enabling
Delay Bound.
QoS Policy: High Priority Levels: 0 ~7 priority levels can map to high or
low queue. When a frame’s VLAN Tag number is mapping the priority
level of the port; this frame can have high priority. (This QoS Policy is for
the entire switch, not for a single port)
Protocol Enable Setting:
En ble Sp nning Tree Protocol: Def ult recommended ( TP dis bled)
Enable Internet Group Multicast Protocol: enable IGMP protocol
IGMP Query Mode: Recognize different queries from clients or servers to
decide which query will be the first priority. The modes are as follows:
1. Auto Mode: Automatically chooses the switch with smallest IP
address for the IGMP Query.
2. Enable Mode: Enable one of switches to be the IGMP Query.
3. Disable Mode: Disable the other switches from being the IGMP
Query.
VLAN Operation Mode:
No VLAN (Default)
802.1Q (Tag VLAN) without GVRP VLAN mode
802.1Q (Tag VLAN) with GVRP VLAN mode
Port Based
The three topologies shown below indicate how the IGMP Query works
within a network:
1.
This topology is set when the router s IP address is smaller than other
Switches in the subnet.
2.
This topology is set when the router s IP address is larger than other
Switches in the subnet.
Note: The SmartGST-801M supports IGMP protocol but IGMP must be
enabled and the switch must be the querier.
3.
This topology is used when the Switch s IP address is not the
smallest in the subnet. If in Auto mode, the network will cause a Multicast Storm from the client IGMP report. The configuration is used to
avoid that.
Note:
4.
We recommend that the switch with the smallest IP address be
set as the VOD server.
All switches must be in Disable mode when the VOD server is set up
as the IGMP Querier.
GVRP (GARP [Generic Attribute Registration Protocol] VLAN
Registration Protocol)
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and
nodes. If the switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can
send a GVRP request using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch. The
switch will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.
5-4-3. Console Port Information
1. Console is a standard UART interface to communicate with Serial Port.
Users can use the Windows HyperTerminal program to link to the
switch. Connect To -> Configure
Baud rate (bits/sec): 9600

Speed setting: The speed mode is fixed. 100Mbps (Ports 1-8),
1000Mbps (Port 9, GBIC port)
Duplex setting: Port 1-8 support Full or Half Duplex. Port 9 only supports
Full Duplex.
Flow control setting: Port 1-8 can be enabled/disabled. Port 9 is always
enabled.
5-4-5. Trunk
Port Trunking allows multiple devices with Link Aggregation Control
instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation
Group to which the links belong. Link aggregation lets you group up to
eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature
can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation
requires full-duplex mode. For more detail information, refer to IEEE
802.3ad.
5-4-5-1. Aggregator setting
System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch
with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active
LACP.
1. Group ID: Users can create a link aggregation across two or more
ports. Choose the "group id" and click "Get".
2. LACP: If enabled, the group is a LACP static trunking group. If
disabled, the group is local static trunking group.
3. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to a
device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will
be created automatically.
4. Work Ports: The maximum number of ports that can be aggregated at
the same time is 4. If an LACP static trunking group is chosen, the
exceeding ports are standby and able to aggregate if the work ports
fail. If a local static trunking group, the number of ports must be the
same as group ports.
5. Select the ports to join the trunking group. If LACP is enabled, users
can configure the LACP Active/Passive status in each port.
6. Click Apply.
5-4-5-2. Aggregator Information
When setting an LACP aggregator, view relational information here.
5-4-5-3. State Activity
Active (selected): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Passive (not selected): The port does not automatically send LACP
protocol packets and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets
from the opposite device.
1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can
perform dynamic LACP trunking. A link with two passive LACP ports
will not perform dynamic LACP trunking because both ports are
waiting for an LACP protocol packet from the opposite device.
2. If you are an active LACP actor, when you select trunking port the
active status will be created automatically.
5-4-6. Filter Database
5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping
The SmartGST-801M supports IP Multicast. IGMP protocol can be
enabled on the web management s Advanced page. On the IGMP
Snooping information page, you can view different multicast groups,
VIDs, and member ports. IP multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0
through 239.255.255.255.
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
has three fundamental types of messages as follows:
Message
Query
Report
Leave
Group
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.
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to
be a member of a specific multicast group.
5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch’s address
table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the
switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device’s MAC
address when the device is disconnected or powered-off.
To add a static MAC address
1. From the main menu, click administrator, then click Filter Database.
2. Click Static MAC Addresses. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC
address of the port that should permanently forward traffic regardless
of a device’s network activity.
3. In the Port Number box, select a port number.
4. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tagbased VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.
5. Click add
5-4-6-3. Port Security
A port in Security Mode will be locked without address learning
permission. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the
address table can be forwarded normally. Users can disable the port from
learning any new MAC addresses and use the static MAC addresses
screen to define a list of MAC addresses that can use the secure port.
Enter the settings and click Submit to apply the changes on this page.
5-4-6-4. MAC Filtering
5-4-7. VLAN configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the
broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members
of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically,
creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to physically
connecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plugged into the original switch.
The SmartGST-801M supports port-based and protocol-base VLAN in
the Web Management page.
NOTE: The default VLAN cannot be deleted.
Support Port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)
Port-based Tagging rule VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard.
It is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch
vendors. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a tag into the
Ethernet frames. Tags contain a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the
VLAN numbers.
Support Protocol-based VLAN
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it must be
capable of either tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attach itself
to a VLAN-aware bridge. The bridge must be capable of classifying and
tagging the packets with a different VLAN ID based on not only default
PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
5-4-7-1. Basic
Create a VLAN and add tagged member ports to it.
1. From the main menu, click administrator -- VLAN configuration.
2. Click Add
3. Type a name for the new VLAN.
4. Type a VID (between 2-4094). The default is 1.
5. From the Available ports box, select ports to add to the switch and click
Add.
6. Click Apply
5-4-7-2. Port VID
Configure port VID settings
From the main Tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN page, click Port VID
Settings.
Port VID (PVID)
Sets the Port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given
port. For example, if port 9’s Default PVID is 100, all untagged packets on
port 9 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all ports is VID 1.
This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you would like to
add to the VLAN but don’t support tagging. Only one untagged VLAN is
allowed per port.
Ingress Filtering
Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN be forwarded if
the port belongs to that VLAN. The SmartGST-801M has two ingress
filtering rules.
Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with VID matching this
port’s configured VID.
Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frames.
5-4-8. Spanning Tree
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE
802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks. Enabled STP ensures
that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the
network. You can enable Spanning-Tree Protocol on the Web
Management s advanced page. Select enable Spanning-Tree protocol.
Unicom recommends that you enable STP on all switches to ensure a
single active path on the network.
View spanning tree information about the Root Bridge on this screen.
View spanning tree status about the switch here.
Parameter
Description
You can change the priority value, a value used to identify the root bridge.
Priority The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as
the root. Enter a number 1 through 65535.
You can change the Max Age value, the number of seconds a bridge waits
Max Age
without receiving Spanning-Tree Protocol configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration. Enter a number 6 through 40.

Delay time
states to the forwarding state. Enter a number 4 through 30.
The following parameter can be configured on each port. Click Apply.
Parameter
Description
You can make a port more or less likely to become the Root Port. The
Port Priority
range is 0-255. The default setting is 128. The lowest number has the
highest priority. If you change the value, you must reboot the switch.
Specifies the path cost of the port that is used to determine which
Path Cost ports are the forwarding ports. The lowest number is the forwarding
port. The range is 1 - 65535. The default value base on IEEE802.1D:
10Mb/s = 50-600
100Mb/s = 10-60
If you change the value, you must reboot the switch.
5-4-9. Port Mirror
The Port Mirror is a method of monitoring traffic in switched networks.
Traffic through ports can be monitored by one specific port. That is, traffic
going in or out of monitored ports will be duplicated into the mirror port.
Roving Analysis State: Enable or disable the port mirror function.
Mirror Ports: The ports you want to mirror. All traffic selected here will be
copied to the mirror port. You can select up to 9 monitor ports. To disable
the function, select monitor port to none.
Monitor Rx: Monitor receiving frames from the port.
Monitor Tx: Monitor sending frames from the port.
5-4-10. SNMP
Any network management running the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can managed by the SmartGST-801M switch, provided
the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the
management station. The SNMP is a Protocol that governs the transfer of
information between management and agent. The SmartGST-801M
supports SNMP V1.
1. Use this page to define management stations as trap managers and to
enter SNMP community strings. User can also define a name,
location, and contact person for the switch. Fill in the system options
data, then click Apply to update the changes on this page
Name: Enter a name to be used for the switch.

Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on
the SmartGST801M.
Incorrect connections
n
Faulty or loose cables
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be
OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct the
problem, try a different cable.
n
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network
collisions and can seriously impair network performance.
n
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology.
Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too
many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should
make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops.
Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active
cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms
that will severely impact your network performance.
Diagnosing LED Indicators
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist
in identifying problems. The LEDs indicate common problems you
may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is
plugged in, you may have a problem with power outlet or power cord.
However if the Switch powers off after running a short time, check for
loose power connections, power losses, or surges at the power
outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local
dealer for assistance.
n
Cabling
100Base-FX fiber port: For Multi-Mode fiber, connectors must use
50/125 or 62.5/125 m Multi-Mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices up to 2 km apart. Single Mode fiber connectors must use
9/125 m Single Mode fiber cable. With Single Mode fiber cable,
devices can be up to 30km apart in full duplex operation.
