AirLive Ether-GSH8TW v2 / 8TW+v2 User’s Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

Ether-GSH8TW v2/GSH8TW+ v2 is high speed switch that provides up to 8 10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports (2 x MiniGBIC for Ether-8TW+ v2). Besides, it provides many advanced functions for nowadays variety of network application but at lower costs. Users doesn’t have to learn many sophisticated management functions which are usually shown in SNMP switch but just to learn some simple or common control or setting function through either out-of-band RS232 port or Ethernet port. However, some new, advanced and important functions such as Tag-VLAN, Trunking, RSTP and IGMP are also supported same as SNMP switch. This means, users doesn’t have to pay high costs as traditional layer 2 SNMP switch while one still can get advanced or common function to meet the requirements of an advanced network application. This makes it very suitable for small or medium size company to build up simple network at beginning phase with lower cost. An optional long-ear accessory also makes it possible to operate in the rack mount environment.

Non-blocking and maximum wire speed performance is designed on all switched ports. It not only supports auto-negotiation but also AUTO-MDIX function on all switched 8 10/100/1000M RJ-45 Gigabit copper ports no matter running with half or full duplex mode. These functions make users easy to use and reduce the matching effort between straight and cross-over line issues.

8G web smart switch supports both port-based and 802.1Q (tag-based) VLAN to catch-up the application needed for coming VLAN age. To increase bandwidth application, it supports up to 4 trunk groups with maximum 8 ports on one trunk, moreover, these trunk ports are with fair-over function to provide redundant back-up when one or some of trunk ports malfunction. Moreover, to reduce convergent time of STP protocol, Rapid STP (RSTP) is supported. To support multicast application IGMP is also supported.

Full LED status display eases user’s installation and inspection, a reset button is also provided to allow users to easily go back to default setting.

Chapter 2 Web management

After login is successfully validated, the switch’s home page will show up. The left part on the page provides the function menus, while the right part provides the individual configuration value or system parameters value. Function manuals are divided into three categories: Configuration, Monitoring and Maintenance, and all functions are shown briefly below.

2.1 Configurations

2.1.1 System

The system diagram shows general common system information, they are H/W, F/W version, MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, IP gateway, default VLAN value of management port, name, password, timeout value, and SNMP communities…etc. Once the user finish the setting, he must press the “ Apply “ button to execute all his setting, and whenever he needs, he may press the “ Refresh “ button to get updated status of system information.

AirLive Ether-GSH8TW v2 / 8TW+v2 User’s Manual

2.1.1.1 DHCP

The default DHCP is off, so Default IP or user defined IP is used when this machine is turning-ON, but if this switch needs an IP assigned from DHCP server, user may click the square field and then press “ Apply “ to get an IP which will be assigned by DCHP server “. User must be aware that if he enables DHCP from web page, and if the DHCP server is working, then after enabling DHCP, he will lose contact of the web page, because the IP address has been changed. At this moment, go through terminal mode and check configuration of

IP, then get Dynamic IP to return to web page.

2.1.1.2 Relocate HTTP port number

The default port number of HTTP command is 80, but unauthorized users may intrude this switch if he knows the IP of this switch. Network manager may relocate this port number to other value, from 1024 to 65535, the same idea as above, once network manager change the value of HTTP’s port number, he will lose contact and he must regain web page by command modified as below:

http://192.168.1.100:port_value

2.1.1.3 Tag VLAN management group (CPU port)

At first time you turn on this device, all ports belong to default VLAN ID group (VID = 1), so they can communicate to each other, and hence any port can be used as web management port to talk with CPU port inside. But, for example, assume user uses port 1 as web management port, then user create VLAN ID = 10 on port 7,8 and create another VLAN ID = 20 on port 5,6, now 3 VLAN groups will be shown on VLAN group table after he press “ Apply “ button. If VLAN 10 and VLAN ID 20 must be isolated, then user must delete member port 5,6,7,8 in default VLAN group (VID = 1). Be aware that CPU port still remains on VID = 1 group now, user can only perform web management through one of 4 ports, that is port 1,2,3,4, but if user want to perform web management from other port in existing different VLAN group, for example port 8 in VID =10, then after creating new VLAN groups, he must go to system configuration page, and select Tag VLAN Management Group to 10 by pressing “ Apply “ command, then move RJ-45 ( web management port ) from port 1 to port 8, then user can perform web management from new RJ-45 port again. But if user forgets which group that CPU belongs to, there are two ways to solve this condition below.

(1)Through console port, check configuration of IP if he gets password

(2)Press “Reset” button few seconds, let system return to default settings, that is,

---- >> IP address = 192.168.1.100; … VID = 1, all settings return to factory default
