CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.4.3 COMPATIBLE SFP MODULES
The following SFPs are available from Black Box to operate with the switch.
To install this switch, place it on a large flat surface with a power socket nearby. This surface should be clean, smooth, and level.
Make sure that there is enough space around the switch for RJ-45 cables, the power cord, and ventilation.
If you’re installing this switch in a 19-inch rack, use the rackmount kit (L brackets) and screws included in the product package.
Fasten all screws so the rackmount kit and the switch are tightly conjoined before installing it in a 19-inch rack.
Before installing an SFP module in the switch, make sure the SFP type of the two ends is the same and the transmission distance
and wavelength of the fiber cable meets your requirements. We recommend purchasing SFP transceivers from Black Box.
WARNING: Laser. If using an optical fiber SFP adapter when connecting to a Black Box switch or other device, the user
must observe precautions for working with a Class 1 laser product.
Follow these steps to install the SFP module:
1. Plug in the SFP fiber transceiver first. The SFP transceiver has two plugs for fiber cable, one is TX (transmit), the other
is RX (receive).
2. Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the opposite end of the fiber link.
For more information about product safety, refer to the safely information at the beginning of this manual.

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. 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. The hash algorithm automatically applies load balancing to the ports in the trunk. A port failure within the
trunk group causes the network traffic to be directed to the remaining ports. Load balancing is maintained whenever a link in a trunk
is lost or returned to service.

FIGURE 5-10. IGMP CONFIGURATION SCREEN
IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. IGMP Snooping, as implied by the name, is a feature that allows
a Layer 2 switch to “listen in” on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers by processing the layer3 IGMP packets sent in a
multicast network.
When IGMP Snooping is enabled in a switch, it analyzes all IGMP packets between hosts connected to the switch and multicast
routers in the network. When a switch hears an IGMP report from a host for a given multicast group, the switch adds the host’s port
number to the multicast list for that group. When the switch hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the host’s port from the table entry.
Prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic, and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
IGMP Enabled: When enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to determine which hosts want to receive multicast traffic.
Router Ports: Set if ports are connecting to the IGMP administrative routers.
Unregistered IPMC Flooding enabled: Set the forwarding mode for unregistered (not-joined) IP multicast traffic. The traffic will flood when
enabled and forward to router-ports only when disabled.
IGMP Snooping Enabled: When enabled, the port will monitor network traffic to determine which hosts want to receive the multicast traffic.
IGMP Querying Enabled: When enabled, the port can serve as the Querier, which is responsible for asking hosts if they want to receive
multicast traffic.

Port Mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one port (or an entire VLAN) to a network
monitoring connection on another switch port. This is commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network
traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.
Port to Mirror to: The port that will “duplicate” or “mirror” the traffic on the source port. Only incoming packets can be mirrored. Packets will
be dropped when the available egress bandwidth is less than the ingress bandwidth.

Tx Interval: The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbors to keep the network discovery information up-to-date. The
interval between each LLDP frame is determined by the Tx Interval value.
Tx Hold: Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in the LLDP frame will be considered valid. The LLDP
information valid period is set to Tx Hold multiplied by Tx Interval seconds.
Tx Delay: If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address), a new LLDP frame is transmitted, but the time between the LLDP frames will
always be at least the value of the Tx Delay seconds. Tx Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx Interval value.
Reinit Delay: When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted, an LLDP shutdown frame is transmitted to the neighboring
units, signaling that the LLDP information isn’t valid anymore. Tx Reinit controls the amount of seconds between the shutdown frame and a
new LLDP initialization.

FIGURE 5-15. QOS MODE MENU
This switch supports IEEE 802.1p and DSCP for QoS. Click the QoS Mode scroll-down menu to choose the QoS mode you would like
to apply, and the QoS Configuration will change according.
QoS IEEE 802.1p
FIGURE 5-16. 802.1P CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Packets are prioritized using the 802.1p field in the VLAN tag. This field is three bits long, representing the values 0–7. When the QoS
Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table appears, allowing you to map each of the eight 802.1p values to a local priority
queue (low, normal, medium or high).
When the QoS Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table is displayed. The Custom Prioritize Traffic is the default and
suggested value.

FIGURE 5-17. QOS CONFIGURATION SCREEN
In DSCP mode, packets are prioritized using the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. The Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) is a six-bit field that is contained within an IP (TCP or UDP) header. The six bits allow the DSCP field to take any value
in the range 0–63. When QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP Configuration table is displayed, allowing you to map each of the DSCP
values to a hardware output queue (low, normal, medium or high). The default settings map all DSCP values to the high priority egress
queue.
You can use the Prioritize Traffic drop-down list to quickly set the values in the DSCP Configuration table to a common priority queue.
Use Custom if you want to set each value individually.
When the QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP Configuration table is displayed.
Strict: Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting all traffic in the higher priority queues before servicing lower priority
queues.
WRR: Weighted Round-Robin shares bandwidth at the egress ports by using scheduling weights with default values of 1, 2, 4, 8 for queues 0
through 7, respectively. (This is the default selection.)
NOTE: WRR can only be selected if Jumbo Frame mode is disabled on the Port Configuration page.

Tx Frames: The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.
Rx Frames: The number of LLDP frames received on the port.
Rx Error: The number of received LLDP frames containing some kind of error.
Discarded Frames: If an LLDP frame is received on a port, and the switch’s internal table has run full, the LLDP frame is counted and
discarded. This situation is known as “Too Many Neighbors” in the LLDP standard. LLDP frames require a new entry in the table when the
Chassis ID or Remote Port ID is not already contained within the table. Entries are removed from the table when a given port’s link is down,
an LLDP shutdown frame is received, or when the entry ages out.
TLVs Discarded: Each LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information, known as TLVs (TLV is short for “Type Length Value”). If a TLV
is malformed, it is counted and discarded.
TLVs Unrecognized: The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.
Org. TLVs Discarded: The number of organizationally received TLVs.
Ageouts: Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the LLDP information is valid (age-out time). If no new LLDP frame is
received within the age-out time, the LLDP information is removed, and the age-out counter is incremented.
