Chapter 3: Network Application
This section provides few samples of network topology in which the switch used. In
general, Ether-GSH2404W is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large
address table (8K MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting
networking segments.
PC, workstations and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with
Ether-GSH2404W. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the switch can connect with another switch or hub to interconnect
other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. Meanwhile, you
can also use fiber ports to connect switches.
3.1 Small Workgroup
Ether-GSH2404W can be used as a standalone switch for personal computers, server
and printer server which are directly connected to form a small workgroup.

4.5 VLAN Setting
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain,
which would allows user to isolate network traffic so only the members of VLAN will
receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from 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.

4.6 Aggregation
Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link
for increased throughput. It provides load balancing and redundancy of links in a
switched inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth
equal to the sum of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across
an individual link within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm.
Traffic pattern on the network should be considered carefully before applying it. When
AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User’s Manual
19
Page 23

a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted
across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen.

4.10 IGMP Snooping
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 and report
packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
The switch support IP multicast that IGMP protocol can be enabled on switch then
displays the IGMP snooping information. IP multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0

A static router port. It is a port that has a multicast router, which has
a connection to the internet, attached to it. Selecting a router port will allow
multicast packets coming from the router to be propagated through the network,
as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming from the network to be
propagated to the router. All IGMP Report packets will be forwarded to the router
port, and IGMP queries (from the router port) will be flooded to all ports. All UDP
multicast packets will be forwarded to the router port because routers do not send
IGMP reports or implement IGMP snooping.

4.14 Port Mirroring
The Port mirroring is a method for monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic through
ports can be monitored by one specific port. That is, traffic goes in or out monitored
ports will be duplicated into analysis port.
Analysis Port:
It means mirror port can be used to see all monitor port traffic.
( Mirror port can be connected to LAN analyzer or Netxray)
Monitor Port:
the ports which wants to be monitored. All monitor port traffic will be
copied to analysis port. Maximum 23 monitor ports can be selected.

5. Troubleshooting
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
This section is intended to help user to solve the most common problems on the
Ether-GSH2404W 24x10/100/1000TX plus 4 Mini-GBIC Web Managed Switch.
5.1 Incorrect connections
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when the switch link with
other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable,
10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted
cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail.
For fiber connection, please notice that fiber cable mode and fiber module should be
match.
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.
Non-standard cables
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and
other network problem, and can seriously impair network performance. A category-5
cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network installation.
RJ-45 ports:
RJ-45 connections: 100
Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any
twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should
use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps connections. The length does not exceed 100
meters.
use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP ) cable for
Ω
Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100Ω

5. Troubleshooting
Improper Network Topologies
It is important to make sure that user have a valid network topology. Common topology
faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end
nodes. In addition, user should make sure that 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 network
performance.
5.2 Diagnosing LED Indicators
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying
problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where user can
find possible solutions.
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, user may have a
problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the switch powers off after
running for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at
power outlet. If the problem still cannot be resolved, contact the local dealer for
assistance.
