1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the FM2008/2009 SNMP/Web Managed Switch.
The FM2008/2009 switches are compact desktop-sized switches that are
an ideal solution for the SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) network user.
They provide full wire-speed, Fast Ethernet switching that allows a
high-performance, low-cost connection. Each switch features
store-and-forward switching and can auto-learn and store source
addresses on an 8K-entry MAC address table
.

Figure 1-1. The FriendlyNET FM2009 Switch

The FM2008/2009 both provide 8 switched, auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Each switch will automatically detect the speed of the device(s) connected to it, allowing the user to use both 10 and 100Mbps legacy devices. The 10Mbps bandwidth will accommodate 10Mbps workgroup hubs while simultaneously providing the 100Mbps bandwidth needed to accommodate multimedia applications. In addition, each RJ-45 port supports Auto MDI/MDI-X function.
The FM2009 switch also provides one 100Base-FX fiber port. Four types of fiber connectors are available: SC, MT-RJ, VF-45 (multi-mode), and SC (single-mode). The fiber port can be used to connect to a remote site up to 2 kilometers (multi-mode) or 15–60 kilometers (SC single-mode) away.

.
40 User’s Manual
Page 41
3.4.1.2 System Configuration
On the left of this screen, you can view the Root Bridge Information. On the right, you can configure new values for the STP parameters.
Bridge Priority
Setting the Bridge Priority to a low value will increase the likelihood that the
current bridge will become the root bridge. If the current bridge is located
physically near the center of your network, you may wish to decrease the
Bridge Priority from its default value of 32768 to make it become the root
bridge. If the current bridge is near the edge of your network, it is best to
leave the value of the Bridge Priority at its default setting.
Hello Time
This is the time period between BPDUs transmitted by each bridge. The
default setting is 3 seconds.
Maximum Age
Each bridge should receive regular configuration BPDUs from the direction
of the root bridge. If the maximum age timer expires before the bridge
receives another BPDU, it assumes that a change in the topology has
41 User’s Manual
Page 42
occurred, and it begins recalculating the spanning tree. The default setting
for Maximum Age is
15 seconds.
Forward Delay
After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the Forward Delay parameter
regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port
begins forwarding traffic too soon (before a new root bridge has been
selected), the network can be adversely affected. The default value for
Forward Delay is 5 seconds.
: The above parameters (Hello Time, Maximum Age and Forward
Note
Delay) are constrained by the following formula:
(Hello Time + 1) <= Maximum Age <= 2 x (Forward Delay – 1)
In general, reducing the values of these timers will make the spanning tree
react faster when the topology changes, but may cause temporary loops as
the tree stabilizes in its new configuration. Increasing the values of these
timers will make the tree react more slowly to changes in topology, but will
make an unintended reconfiguration less likely. All of the bridges on the
network will use the values set by the root bridge. It is only necessary to
reconfigure that bridge if you wish to change the parameters.

PortState: View the spanning tree status for each port. PathCost:
cost factor to each port. The lower the assigned port path cost is, the more
likely that port will be accessed. The default port path cost for a 10Mbps or
100Mbps port is the result to the equation:
Path cost = 1000/LAN speed (in Mbps)
Therefore, for ports operating at 10Mbps, the default port path cost is 100.
For ports operating at 100Mbps, it is 10.
Port path cost is the spanning tree parameter that assigns a
If you change the value, you
need to restart the switch for the change to take effect. Priority:
so that if two or more ports have the same path cost, the STP selects the
path with the highest priority (the lowest numerical value). By changing the
priority of a port, you can make it more, or less, likely to become the root
port. The default value is 128, and the value range is 0 – 255.
The port priority is a spanning tree parameter that ranks each port,
If you change the value, you need to restart the switch for the change to take effect.

4.4.7 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 same
VLAN receive traffic from other VLAN members. Creating a VLAN from a
switch is logically equivalent to reconnecting a group of network devices to
another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged
into the same switch physically. The switch supports port-based and
protocol-based VLANs. In the default configuration, VLAN support is
enabled and all ports on the switch belong to the default VLAN, whose
VLAN ID (VID) is 1.
Note: The default VLAN cannot be deleted.
Port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)
This feature is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, 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. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN
numbers.
71 User’s Manual
Page 72
Protocol-based VLANs
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it itself has to be capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags, or it must be attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packets with different VLAN IDs, based on not only on the default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

From this page, you can set 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 want to participate in the VLAN but that don't support tagging. Only one untagged VLAN is allowed per port.
73 User’s Manual
Page 74
Ingress Filtering
Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be forwarded if the port belongs to that VLAN. The switch has two ingress filtering rules, as follows: Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with a VID matching this port's configured VID. Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop untagged Frames.
4.4.8 Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D)

6. Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems with installation of the FM2008/2009 switch.
Incorrect connections
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 miswired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair network performance. A Category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network installation.
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, 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 LED indicators, which assist in identifying common problems that you may encounter.
If the power LED indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet or with the power cord. However, if the switch powers off after having been running for a while, 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.
Cabling
RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or Category 5 or better cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
100Base-FX fiber port (FM2009 only): Fiber multi-mode connectors must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices over a 2–kilometer distance. However, fiber single-mode connectors must use 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable. With single-mode, you can connect two devices over a 15–60-kilometer distance in full duplex operation.
