1. Introduction

1-1. Overview of SM8P-SFP

SM8P-SFP, 6-Port 100/1000 Dual Speed SFP + 2-Port RJ-45/100/1000 SFP Managed Switch, is a standard switch that meets all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit Ethernet specifications. The switch can be managed through RJ-45 console port via directly connection, or through Ethernet port using CLI or Web-based management unit, associated with SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administrator can logon the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a friendly way. The overall network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is also improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch features comprehensive and useful function such as ACL, IP-MAC Binding, DHCP Option 82, QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security, SNMP/RMON, IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. It is suitable for both metro-LAN and office application.

Others the switch increase support the Power saving for reduce the power consumption with "ActiPHY Power Management" and "PerfectReach Power Management" two technique.It could efficient saving the switch power with auto detectthe client idle and cable length to provide different power.

In this switch, Port 7 and Port 8 include two types of media --- TP and (100/1000M) SFP Fiber (LC, BiDi LC…); this port supports 10/100/1000Mbps TP or 100/1000 Dual Speed SFP Fiber with auto-detected function. (100/1000M) SFP Fibertransceiveris used forhigh-speedconnectionexpansion

10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE

802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. (100/1000M) SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-SX/LXstandards and100-FXstandards.

1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional full duplex signal overa single fiber simultaneously.

For upgrading firmware, please refer to the Section 3-21 or Section 4-2-2 for more details. The switch will not stop operating while upgrading firmware and after that,the configurationkeeps unchanged.

PortSecurity:

Supportallowed,deniedforwardingand port securitywith MAC address.

Link Layer DiscoveryProtocol(LLDP):

IEEE Standard─ ─ 802.1AB （Link Layer Discovery Protocol），Provide more easy debug tool and enhance the networking management availability,

Othersit can provideauto-discovery device and topology providing

SNMP/RMON:

SNMP agent and RMON MIB. In the device, SNMP agent is a client software which is operating over SNMP protocol used to receive the command from SNMP manager (server site) and echo the corresponded data, i.e. MIB object. Besides, SNMP agent will actively issue TRAP informationwhen happened.

RMON is the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of the SNMP MIB.

The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON MIB (RFC 1757)-statistics Group 1,2,3,9, Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643), EthernetMIB (RFC 1643) and so on.

IGMPSnooping:

Support IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236): The function IGMP snooping is used to establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the member ports, and, in nature, avoid wasting the bandwidth while IP multicastpacketsare running over thenetwork.

IGMPProxy:

The implementation of IP multicast processing. The switch supports IGMP version 1 and IGMP version 2, efficient use of network bandwidth, and fast response time for channel changing. IGMP version 1 (IGMPv1) is described in RFC1112 ,and IGMP version 2 (IGMPv2) is described in RFC

2236. Hosts interact with the system through the exchange of IGMP messages. Similarly, when you configure IGMP proxy, the system interacts

Rev.A1

18-May-11

with the router on its upstream interface through the exchange of IGMP messages. However, when acting as the proxy, the system performs the host portion of the IGMP task onthe upstream interfaceas follows:



When queried, sends group membershipreports to the group.



When one of its hostsjoins a multicast address group to which none of its other hosts belong,sends unsolicited group membershipreportsto that group.



When the lastof its hosts in a particular multicast group leaves the group,sends an unsolicited leave group membershipreportto the all-routers group (244.0.0.2).

PowerSaving:

The Power saving using the "ActiPHY Power Management" and "PerfectReach Power Management" two techniques to detect the client idle and cable length automatically and provides the different power. It could efficientto save theswitch power andreduce the powerconsumption.

Q-

in-QVLAN for performance & security:

The VLAN feature in the switch offers the benefits of both security and performance. VLAN is used to isolate traffic between different users and thus provides better security. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN broadcast domain also enhances performance. Q-in-Q, the use of double VLAN tags is an efficient method for enabling Subscriber Aggregation.Thisis very usefulin the MAN.

MVR:

Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) can support carrier to serve content provider using multicast for Video streaming application in the network. Each content provider Video streaming has a dedicated multicast VLAN. The MVR routes packets received in a multicast source VLAN to one or more receive VLANs. Clients are in the receive VLANs and the multicast serveris inthe source VLAN.

AccessControl List (ACL):

The ACLs are divided into EtherTypes. IPv4, ARP protocol, MAC and VLAN parameters etc. Here we will just go over the standard and extended access lists for TCP/IP. As you create ACEs for ingress classification, you can assign a policy for each port, the policy number is 1-8, however, each policy can be applied to any port. This makes it very easy to determine what type of ACL policy youwillbe workingwith.

IP-MAC-PortBinding:

The IP network layer uses a four-byte address. The Ethernet link layer uses a six-byte MAC address. Binding these two address types together allows the transmission of data between the layers. The primary purpose of IPMAC binding is to restrict the access to a switch to a number of authorized users. Only the authorized client can access the Switch’s port by checking the pair of IP-MAC Addresses and port number with the pre-configured database. If an unauthorized user tries to access an IP-MAC binding enabledport, the systemwill block the access by droppingitspacket.

Rev.A1 18-May-11

SSLand SSHfor secure Management: (Optional by Project Requirement, Refer to device’sFW v5.0x upper)

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) supports the encryption for all HTTP traffic, allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the switch. And Secure Shell (SSH) which supports the encryption for all transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access overIP networks

Note: The SSL only provide the CLI for switch management and SSH

defaultenablewithoutUI for management.

TACACS+: (Optional by Project Requirement, Refer to device’s FW v5.0x upper)

The switch supports to ease switch management security administration by using a password with CiscoTACACS+authenticationserver

Syslog:

The Syslog is a standard for logging program messages . It allows separation of the software that generates messages from the system that stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. It is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms.

• TP Port and CableInstallation

In the switch, TP port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so both types of

cable, straight-through (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6 in 10/100M TP; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in Gigabit TP) and crossed-over (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 3, 6, 1, 2) can be used. It means youdo not have to tell from them,just plug it.

Use Cat. 5 grade RJ-45 TP cable to connect to a TP port of the switch and the

other end is connected to a network-aware device such as a workstation or a server.

Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected to a

Gigabit10/100/1000TP device.

Now, you canstart having theswitch in operation.

•

Power On

The switch supports 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. The power supply will automatically convert the local AC power source to DC power. It does not matter whether any connection plugged into the switch or not when power on, even modules as well. After the power is on, all LED indicators will light up immediately and then all off except the power LED still keeps on. This represents a reset of the system.

•

FirmwareLoading

After resetting, the bootloader will load the firmware into the memory. It will take about 30 seconds, after that, the switch will flash all the LED once and automaticallyperforms self-test and is in readystate.

It is more complex and comprehensive contrast to TP cabling in the fiber media. Basically, there are two categories of fiber, multi mode (MM) and single mode (SM). The later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports. They are SX, LX, LHX, XD, and ZX. From the viewpoint of connector type, there mainlyare LC and BIDI LC.

Takesthe Delay Time intoAccount

Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.1 series protocol specifications, in which the limitations are the timing requirement from physical signals defined by 802.3 series specification of Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY, and timer from some OSI layer 2 protocols such as802.1d, 802.1q, LACP andso on.

The fiber,TP cables anddevices’bit-time delay(roundtrip) are as follows:

Table 2-2

Rev.A1 18-May-11

Sum up all elements’ bit-time delay and the overall bit-time delay of wires/devices must be within Round Trip Delay (bit times) in a half-duplex network segment (collision domain). For full-duplex operation, this will not be applied. You may use the TP-Fiber module to extend the TP node distance over fiber optic and providethe long haul connection.

•

TypicalNetworkTopologyin Deployment

A hierarchical network with minimum levels of switch may reduce the timing delay between server and client station. Basically, with this approach, it will minimize the number of switches in any one path; will lower the possibility of network loop and will improve network efficiency. If more than two switches are connected in the same network, select one switch as Level 1 switch and connect all other switches to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recommended to connect to the Level 1 switch. This is general if no VLANor other specialrequirementsare applied.

Case1:All switch ports arein the samelocal area network. Every port can access

each other (See Fig. 2-3).

Fig. 2-3 No VLAN Configuration Diagram

If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicateeachother directly is boundedin the same VLAN area.

Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment, especially in physical location. The following diagram shows how it works and whatthe differencethey are.

2-1-4.ConfiguringtheManagementAgentofSM8P-SFP

We offer you three ways to startup the switch management function. They are RJ-45 console, CLI, and Web. Users can use any one of them to monitor and configurethe switch. Youcan touch them through the followingprocedures.

Section2-1-4-1:Configuringthe ManagementAgent of SM8P-SFPthrough the

ConsoleRJ-45Port

Section2-1-4-2:Configuringthe ManagementAgent of SM8P-SFPthrough the

EthernetPort

Note: Please first modifythe IP address, Subnet mask,Defaultgatewayand DNS

throughRJ-45console, and thendo the next.

2-1-4-1.Configuringthe ManagementAgent of SM8P-SFPthrough the Console

RJ-45 Port

To perform the configuration through RJ-45 console port, the switch’s console port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC, through RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable with RJ-45 connector. Next, run a terminal emulator with the default setting of the switch’s serial port. With this, you can communicatewiththeswitch.

In the switch, RJ-45 interface only supports baud rate 115200 bps with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no paritycheck and no flow control.

2-1-5.IPAddressAssignment

For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled

in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, DefaultGatewayand DNS.

IP address:

The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-11. It is “classful” becauseit is split into predefined address classes orcategories.

Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and host identifier in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network identifier (address) and host identifier (address). The former indicates the network where the addressed host resides, and the latter indicates the individual host in the network which the address of host refers to. And the host identifier must be unique in the same LAN. Here the term of IP addresswe used is version 4, known as IPv4.

32 bits

Networkidentifier Hostidentifier

Fig. 2-11 IP addressstructure

With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A, class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address rangedescribedbelow.

ClassA:

Address is less than 126.255.255.255. There are a total of 126 networks can be defined because the address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for default route and

127.0.0.0/8isreservedfor loopback function.

Bit # 0 1 7 8 31

Network address Host address

Class B:

IP address range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255. Each class B network has a 16-bit network prefix followed 16-bit host address. There are 16,384 (2^14)/16 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 65534 (2^16 –2) hosts per network.

Bit # 0 1 2 3 23 24 31

Network address Host address

Class D and E:

Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 andis used for IP broadcast.

According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP address blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal network.We call it Private IP address andlist below:

Pleaserefer to RFC 1597 andRFC 1466 for more information.

Subnetmask:

It means the sub-division of a class-based network or a CIDR block. The subnet is used to determine how to split an IP address to the network prefix and the host address in bitwise basis. It is designed to utilize IP address more efficiently and ease to manageIP network.

For a class B network, 128.1.2.3, it may have a subnet mask 255.255.0.0 in default, in which the first two bytes is with all 1s. This means more than 60 thousands of nodes in flat IP address will be at the same network. It’s too large to manage practically. Now if we divide it into smaller network by extending network prefix from 16 bits to, say 24 bits, that’s using its third byte to subnet this class B network. Now it has a subnet mask 255.255.255.0, in which each bit of the first three bytes is 1. It’s now clear that the first two bytes is used to identify the class B network, the third byte is used to identify the subnet within this class B network and, of course, the last byte is the host number.
