2.4 Knowing your SNMP-FSH2602MG v2

Below are descriptions and diagrams of the product:

2.5 Hardware Installation

Set the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where you put your SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 to allow attachment of cables, power cord and allow air circulation.
2.5.1 Attaching Rubber Feet
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 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 SNMP-FSH2602MG v2.
These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
2.5.2 Rack-mounted Installation
The SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 comes with a rack-mounted kid and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack. The SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Perform the following steps to rack mount the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2
and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2.
B. After attached mounting brackets, position the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 in the rack by
lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.

Enable MAC address Aging Out: Switch has one MAC table which can record or
update relation of MAC and port. Once other packets having the same destination are transmitted, Switch can easily know which path is right. It can save system resource of the Switch and decrease times of packet collision. However, the memory of the Switch is limited, MAC table needs to drop some inactive MAC to learn active MAC address continuously, so it is necessary to configure MAC table aging time.
z Age-out Time: Fill in the number of seconds that an inactive MAC address
remains in the Switch's address table. The valid range is 300~765 seconds (must be multiple of 3). The default is 300 seconds.
Max Bridge Transmit Delay Bound: Limit the packets queuing time in Switch. If
enabled, the packets whose queuing time exceed your setting will be dropped. The valid value is 1sec, 2 sec, 4 sec and off. The default is OFF
z Enable Low Queue Delay Bound: Limit queuing time of low priority packets in
Switch. If the low priority packets which time of staying in Switch exceed Max Delay Time, it will be sent. The valid range is 1~255 ms.

4. Web Management in SNMP-FSH2602MG v2
NOTE: Please make sure that “Max bridge transit delay bound” is enabled before enabling Delay Bound, because “Enable Low Queue Delay Bound” must be worked under situation of “Max bridge transit delay bound control is enabled”.
Broadcast Storm Filter: A broadcast storm means that your network is overwhelmed
with constant broadcast or multicast traffic. It will lead to a complete loss of network connectivity eventually. Therefore, filter function can protect your network against broadcast storms.
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 transmit threshold for a port is reached to your threshold value, broadcast storm filter becomes active and drops all broadcast traffic. The valid threshold value is 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and off.
Priority Queue Service settings: There are many different applications, users, or
data flows in a real network environment. However, the network capacity is limited, you have to keep some network services in good performance such as real-time streaming multimedia over IP or on-line games. Therefore, you can use priority mechanism to prioritize your network services. You have three kinds of priority queue service type to select.
z First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent is depended on arrive
order.
z All High before Low: The high priority packets are sent before low priority
packets.
z Weighted Round Ratio: 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, “5 High: 1 Low” means that the switch sends 5 high priority packets before sending 1 low priority packet. The valid ratio is 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1 and 7:1.

AirLive SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 User’s Manual
4. Web Management in SNMP-FSH2602MG v2
Qos Policy: High Priority Levels: 0~7 priority level can map to high or low queue.
Once some levels are checked, it means that they have high priorities.
4.4.2.3 Misc Config
Collisions Retry Forever: “Disable” – In half duplex, if collision happens, Switch will
retry 48 times and then drop frame. Otherwise, if collision happens, the Switch will retry forever when “Enable”.
Hash Algorithm: CRC Hash or Direct Map for MAC address learning algorithm. After
selecting one of both, chipset will learn MAC address according to your selected algorithm.
IFG Compensation:
Ethernet devices must allow a minimum idle time between transmission of Ethernet frames known as the interframe gap (IFG). This idle time gives the network media a chance to stabilize, and other network components to process the frame. The minimum interframe gap is 96 bit times (the time it takes to transmit 96 bits of raw data on the medium), which is 9.6 μs for 10 Mbit/s Ethernet, 960 ns for 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, 96 ns for 1 Gbit/s (gigabit) Ethernet.
Generally, the interframe gap is not always 96 bit frames, if it is less than 96 bit times, it will occur that transmission speed of SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 would be over 100/1000Mbps. If SNMP-FSH2602MG v2 transmit frames at a more than 100Mbps rate that causes some 10/100Mbps device to enter into a state of congestion (i.e. no buffer space remaining to receive additional frames), 10/100Mbps device may transmit a Pause frame which halt the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. The flow control mechanism would begin to prevent from packet loss. User can select “Enable” or “Disable” to IFG Compensation.
802.1x Protocol: It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach
to a LAN, either establishing a point-to-point connection or preventing it if authentication fails. Use can enable or disable 802.1x protocol. Once enabled, you can configure 802.1x setting in another web.

which Query will be the first priority. The modes are: a. Auto Mode: Chooses the switch that has the smallest IP address to be set for the
IGMP Query mode. b. Enable Mode: Enables the switch to be the IGMP Querier. c. Disable Mode: Disables all other switches from being the IGMP Querier.
The following three topologies explain how IGMP Query works and to be configured within a network:
1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is smaller than other switches in the subnet.
