Chapter 4: Switch Functions
4. Switch Functions
4.1 VLAN Application Guide
4.1.1 Explanation of VLAN (Virtual LAN)
You can increase the efficiency of your network by dividing it into local segments (VLANs) instead of physical segments. A VLAN
(Virtual LAN) is a group of devices that you can place anywhere on a network without being restricted by physical connections
(a limitation of a traditional physical network). VLANs enable you to segment your network into groups, for example,
departmental, hiercrchial, or usage groups. A VLAN segments a network to make it more flexible than a physical network.
VLANs make it easy to relocate devices on networks (no physical cable moves). VLANs also give your network extra security and
help control network traffic.
The Industrial Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports up to 2048 VLANs. Ports are grouped into broadcast domains by
assigning them to the same VLAN. Frames received on a VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN, and multicast frames
and unknown unicast frames are flooded only to ports in the same VLAN.
4.1.2 Example 1: Default VLAN Settings
Each port in the LIG1014A/LIE1014A Switch has a configurable default VLAN number, known as its PVID. This places all ports on
the same VLAN initially, although each port PVID is configurable to any VLAN number between 1 and 4094.
The default configuration settings for the switch have all ports set as untagged members of VLAN 1 with all ports configured as
PVID =1. In default configuration example shown in the following figure, all incoming packets are assigned to VLAN 1 by the
default port VLAN identifier (PVID=1).
Figure 4-1. Default VLAN Settings.
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com
Page 19
Chapter 4: Switch Functions
4.1.3 Example 2: Port-based VLANs
When the LIG1014/LIE1014A receives an untagged VLAN packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the frame according to the PVID
setting on a port. As shown in the following figure, the untagged packet is marked (tagged) as it leaves the LIG1014/LIE1014A
through Port 2, which is configured as a tagged member of VLAN100. The untagged packet remains unchanged as it leaves the
LIG1014/LIE1014A through Port 7, which is configured as an untagged member of VLAN100.
Figure 4-2. Port-Based VLAN.
Configuration:
STEP 1: Go to Configuration -> VLANs -> Port VLAN configuration and configure PVID 100 on Port 1, Port 2, and Port 7.
Figure 4-3. Configure PVID.
STEP 2. Select Configuration -> VLAN -> Static VLAN. Create a VLAN with VLAN ID 100. Enter a VLAN name in the Name field.
STEP 3. Assign a VLAN tag setting to or remove it from a port by toggling the checkbox under an individual port number. The
tag settings determine if packets that are transmitted from the port tagged or untagged with the VLAN ID. The possible tag
settings are:
• Tag All : Specifies that the egress packet is tagged for the port.
• Untag port vlan: Specifies that the egress packet is untagged for the port.
• Untag All: Specifies that all frames, whether classified to the Port VLAN or not, are transmitted without a tag.
Page 20
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Switch Functions
Here we set tagged VLAN100 on Port 1 and Port 2, untagged VLAN100 on Port 7.
Figure 4-4. Set tagged and untagged VLAN on ports.
STEP 4: Transmit untagged unicast packets from Port 1 to Port 2 and Port 7. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet with VID
100. The packet has access to Port 2 and Port 7. The outgoing packet is stripped of its tag to leave Port 7 as an untagged packet.
For Port 2, the outgoing packet leaves as a tagged packet with VID 100.
STEP 5: Transmit untagged unicast packets from Port 2 to Port 1 and Port 7. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet with VID
100. The packet has access to Port 1 and Port 7. The outgoing packet is stripped of its tag to leave Port 7 as an untagged packet.
For Port 1, the outgoing packet leaves as a tagged packet with VID 100.
STEP 6: Transmit untagged unicast packets from Port 7 to Port 1 and Port 2. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet with VID
100. The packet has access to Port 1 and Port 2. For Port 1 and Port 2, the outgoing packet leaves as a tagged packet with VID
100.
STEP 7: Repeat step 4 using broadcast and multicast packets.
LIG1014/LIE1014A is able to construct a layer-2 broadcast domain by identifying a VLAN ID specified by IEEE 802.1Q. It forwards
a frame between bridge ports assigned to the same VLAN ID and can set multiple VLANs on each bridge port.
In the following figure, the tagged incoming packets are assigned directly to VLAN 100 and VLAN 200 because of the tag
assignment in the packet. Port 2 is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 100, and Port 7 is configured as an untagged
member of VLAN 200. Hosts in the same VLAN communicate with each other as if they were in a LAN. However, hosts in
different VLANs cannot communicate with each other directly.
Figure 4-5. IEEE 801.1Q Tagging.
In this case:
1. The hosts from Group A can communicate with each other.
2. The hosts from Group B can communicate with each other.
3. The hosts of Group A and Group B can’t communicate with each other.
4. Both the Group A and Group B can go to the Internet through the LIE1014A/LIG1014A.
Page 22
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Switch Functions
Configuration:
STEP 1: Go to Configuration -> VLANs -> Port VLAN configuration page and specify the VLAN membership as follows:
Figure 4-6. Specify VLAN membership.
STEP 2: Transmit unicast packets with VLAN tag 100 from Port 1 to Port 2 and Port 7. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet
with VID 100. The packet only has access to Port 2. For Port 2, the outgoing packet leaves as a tagged packet with VID 100.
STEP 3: Transmit unicast packets with VLAN tag 200 from Port 1 to Port 2 and Port 7. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet
with VID 200. The packet only has access to Port 7. The outgoing packet on Port 7 is stripped of its tag as an untagged packet.
STEP 4: Transmit unicast packets with VLAN tag 100 from Port 2 to Port 1 and Port 7. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet
with VID 100. The packet only has access to Port 1. For Port 1, the outgoing packet leaves as a tagged packet with VID 100.
STEP 5: Transmit unicast packets with VLAN tag 200 from Port 7 to Port 1 and Port 2. The LIG1014/LIE1014A should tag a packet
with VID 200. The packet only has access to Port 1. The outgoing packet on Port 1 will leave as a tagged packet with VID 200.
STEP 6: Repeat the above steps using broadcast and multicast packets.
Access Control List (ACL) is a traffic filter for ingress and egress packets. It checks each Ethernet packet and filters/forwards it to
its destination. ACL settings might include the packet's source or destination IP address, packet's source or destination MAC
address, IP protocols, and more. ACL examines these values to permit or access a packet.
The LIG1014A/LIE1014A's ACL function supports access control security for MAC address, IP address, Layer 4 Port, and Type of
Service. Each has five actions: Deny, Permit, Queue Mapping, CoS Marking, and Copy Frame. You can set the default ACL rule to
Permit or Deny. For details about the switch's ACL function, see the following table.
Table 4-1. Default ACL Rule Actions.
Deny Permit Queue Mapping CoS Marking Copy Frame
Permit (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
Deny (f) (g) (h) (i) (j)
Below is a description of the ACL rules listed in Table 4-1 that the switch uses:
(a): Permit all frames, but deny frames set in ACL entry.
(b): Permit all frames.
(c): Permit all frames, and map queues of the transmitting frames.
(d): Permit all frames, and change the CoS value of the transmitting frames.
(e): Permit all frames, and copy a frame set in ACL entry to a defined GE port.
(f): Deny all frames.
(g): Deny all frames, but permit frames set in ACL entry.
(h): Deny all frames.
(i): Deny all frames.
(j): Deny all frames, but to copy frame which set in ACL entry to a defined GE port.
4.2.2 Case 1: ACL for MAC address
The MAC address ACL filters source MAC address, destination MAC address, or both. When it filters both MAC addresses,
packets for both rules take effect. In other words, the switch does not filter MAC addresses if it only complies with the rule for
one of the two MAC addresses.
To filter only one directional MAC address, set the other MAC address to all zeros. The switch can also filter VLAN and Ether type.
If you don't want to filter VLAN and Ether type, set them both to all zeros.
Page 24
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Switch Functions
• Case 1: Permit all frames, but deny frames set in ACL entry.
Set the default ACL Rule of GE port to “Permit”, then bind a suitable profile with “deny” for ACL. The GE port can pass through
all packets except for the ACL entry of the bound profile.
Filter One MAC Address, but Deny Filtering for One VLAN
To filter one directional MAC address with one VLAN denied filtering, follow the steps listed next:
STEP 1: Create a new ACL Profile. (Profile Name: DenySomeMac)
Figure 4-7. Create new ACL profile screen.
STEP 2: Create a new ACL Entry rule under this ACL profile. (Deny MAC: 11 and VLAN: 4)
STEP 3: Bind this ACL profile to a GE port. (Port 4)
Figure 4-8. Bind the ACL profile to a Gigabit Ethernet port screen.
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com

Chapter 4: Switch Functions
STEP 4: Send frames between Port 3 and Port 4, and see the test result.
LIE1014A
LIE1014A
Figure 4-9. Test result: frames sent betwen Port 3 and Port 4.
In this case, ACL function is disabled. All frames will pass through.
• Case 1: (c) Permit all frames, and map queues of the transmitting frames.
Set the default Gigabit Ethernet port ACL Rule to “Permit”, then bind a suitable profile with “Queue Mapping” for some ACL
functions. Map queues 0–7 of the frame received from this port.
• Case 1: (d) Permit all frames, and change the CoS value of the transmitting frames.
Set the default Gigabit Ethernet port ACL Rule as “Permit”, then bind a suitable profile with “CoS Marking” action for some ACL
functions. Change the CoS values of the VLAN frames received from this port.
To set one directional MAC address with CoS Marking:
STEP 1: Create a new ACL Profile. (Profile Name: CoSMarkingTest)
STEP 2: Create a new ACL Entry rule under this ACL profile.
(Filter SrcMAC: 11 and VLAN ID: 4 frame to CoS: 2)
STEP 3: Bind this ACL profile to a GE port. (Port 4)
STEP 4: Send frames between Port 3 and Port 4, and see the test result.
• Case 1: (e) Permit all frames, and copy a frame set in ACL entry to a defined GE port.
Set the default ACL Rule of GE port to “Permit”, then bind a suitable profile with “Copy Frame” for a mirror analyzer used.The
system will copy frames from a binding GE Port to analyzer port.
To set two directional MAC addresses with Copy Frame:
STEP 1: Create a new ACL Profile. (Profile Name: CopyFrameTest)
STEP 2: Create a new ACL Entry rule under this ACL profile. (SrcMAC: 13 and DesMAC: 11)
STEP 3: Set the analyzer port to enable and mirror the analyzer port.
STEP 4: Bind this ACL profile to a GE port. (Port 3)

For IP address ACL, the switch can filter source IP address, destination IP address, or both. You can set an IP range ACL. When the
switch filters both IP addresses, packets that coincide with both rules will take effect. In other words, the switch does filter ACL
for IP address if it only coincides with one rule.
To filter only one directional IP address, set the other IP address to all zeros. The switch also filters Protocols (TCP=6, UDP=17, etc.)
Certain Protocols under these IP addresses will take effect. If you don't want the switch to filter Protocol, set it to zero. For details
about testing, refer to MAC ACL above.
4.2.4 Case 3: ACL for L4 Port
For Layer 4 port ACL, the switch can filter (1) source IP address, (2) source L4 port, (3) destination IP address, (4) destination L4
port, and (5) UDP or TCP Protocol. You can filter (1)– (4) for all or some specific values, but you should select exactly one Protocol
from UDP or TCP.
When it filters both directional IP address and L4 port, packets that coincide with both rules will take effect. In other words, the
switch does not filter if it only coincides with one rule.
To filter only one directional IP address or L4 port, set the other IP address and the L4 port to all zeros. For details about testing,
refer to MAC ACL above.
4.2.5 Case 4: ACL for ToS
For Type of Service (ToS) ACL, the switch can filter (1) source IP address with ToS type, (2) destination IP address with ToS type, or
(3) both, or (4) neither (if you select neither, the switch just filters ToS). When it filters both IP addresses, packets that coincide
with both rules will take effect. In other words, the switch does not filter if it only coincides with one rule.
To filter only one directional IP address, set the other IP addresses to all zeros. For details about testing, refer to Case 1: MAC ACL
above.
This value (7) is reserved and set to 0.
Ex: Pre (001) means 1
Pre (100) means 4
ToS (00010) means 1

4.4 QoS Application Guide
4.4.1 Explanation of QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) features allow you to allocate network resources to mission-critical applications at the expense
of applications that are less sensitive to factors such as time delays or network congestion. You can configure your network
to prioritize specific types of traffic, ensuring that each type receives the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) level.
4.4.2 SP/SPWRR/WRR
The LIG1014A/LIE1014A can be configured to have 8 output Class of Service (CoS) queues (Q0–Q7) per port, into which each
packet is placed. Q0 is the highest priority Queue. Each packet’s 802.1p priority determines its CoS queue. You need to bind
VLAN priority/queue mapping profile to each port, and, for every VLAN priority, assign a traffic descriptor. The traffic descriptor
defines the shapping parameter on every VLAN priority for Ethernet interface. Currently LIG1014A/LIE1014A supports Strict
Priority (SP)/SPWRR (SP+WRR)/WRR (Weighted Round Robin) scheduling methods on each port.
Several examples for various QoS combinations are listed next. You can configure QoS using the Web-based management system,
CLI (Command Line Interface), or SNMP.
4.4.3 Example 1: SPQ without Shaping (Default profile)
Send 2 Streams (Stream 0, Stream 1) from Port 1 to Port 2. Both streams are running at 100 Mbps. Stream 0 includes VLAN
Priority 0, Stream 1 includes VLAN Priority 7. Set Port 2 link speed to 100 Mbps.
Expected Result:
Port 2 only can receive 100 Mbps of Stream 1, and Stream 0 will be discarded.
Step 1. Go to Configuration —> Ports —> set port 2 link speed to 100 Mbps full duplex.

4.4.4 Example 2: SPQ with Shaping
Send two Streams (Stream 0, Stream 1) from port 1 to port 2. Both streams are running at 100 Mbps. Stream 0 includes VLAN
Priority 0, Stream 1 includes VLAN Priority 7. Stream 3 and Stream 4 are used only for learning which to make sure the traffic
does not flood.
Expected Result:
Port 2 only can receive 20 Mbps of Stream 1, and 80 Mbps of Stream 0.
Send three Streams (Stream 0, Stream 1, and Stream 2) from Port 1 to Port 2. These Streams each have 100 Mbps. Stream 0
includes VLAN Priority 0, Stream1 includes VLAN Priority 3, Stream2 includes VLAN Priority 7. Stream 3, Stream 4, and Stream 5
are used only for learning to make sure the traffic is not flooding. WRR supports weight assignment; the range of weight value is
from 1 to 255. LIG1014A/LIE1014A applies WRR scheduling and weight 1 for all the Gigabit Ethernet ports. In the following case,
assign Weight 2 for Priority 0, Weight 3 for Priority 3, and Weight 5 for Priority 7.
Expected Result:
Port 2 can receive about 20 Mbps of Stream 30 Mbps of Stream 1 and 50 Mbps of Stream 2.
Send 4 Streams (Stream 0, Stream 1, Stream 2, and Stream 3) from Port 1 to Port 2. These Streams each have 100 Mbps. Stream
0 includes VLAN Priority 0, Stream 1 includes VLAN Priority 1, Stream 2 includes VLAN Priority 2, Stream 3 includes VLAN Priority
3, and Stream 4 includes VLAN Priority 6. Stream 5, Stream 6, Stream 7, Stream 8, and Stream 9 are used only for learning to
make sure traffic is not flooding. WRR supports a range of weight values from 1 to 255. LIG1014A/LIE1014A applies WRR
scheduling and weight 1 for all the Gigabit Ethernet Port. In the following case, we will assign Weight 1 for Priority 0, Weight 2
for Priority 1, Weight 3 for Priority 2, and Weight 4 for Priority 3. In SP-WRR mode, queue 0 to queue 3 belongs to WRR, and
queue 4 to queue 6 belongs to SP.
Expected Result:
In Case 1, Port 2 can receive about 10 Mbps of Stream 0, 20 Mbps of Stream 1, 30 Mbps of Stream 2, and 40 Mbps of Stream 3
if we send Stream 0 to Stream 3 to Port1. In Case 2, we expect Port 2 only can receive 100 Mbps of Stream 6, and Stream 0 to
Stream 3 will be discarded.
STEP 1: Go to Configuration —> Qos —> Port shaping, and click on Port 2 to create a Qos profile.

4.5 IGMP Application Guide
4.5.1 Explanation of IGMP
IGMP is an acronym for Internet Group Management Protocol. It is a communications protocol used to manage the membership
of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group
memberships. It is an integral part of the IP multicast specification, similar to ICMP for unicast connections. IGMP can be used for
online video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources when supporting these uses.

4.6 802.1x Authentication Application Guide
4.6.1 Explanation of 802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1x derives keys that you can use to provide per-packet authentication, integrity, and confidentialily. Typically, you would
use the keys along with well-known key derivation algorithms (e.g., TLS, SRP, MD5-Challenge, etc.). The LIG1014A/LIE1014A
switch supports the 802.1x authentication function per port (Port 1–Port 10). Enable the system's 802.1x function, then choose
the ports and type you want to apply. If you enable 802.1x authentication control for a certain Ethernet port on the switch, this
port should be authenticated before using any service from the network.

Configuration
Supplicant’s NIC Setting
STEP 1: Configure a static IP address 20.20.20.10 and a net mask 255.255.255.0 for the supplicant.
(If a DHCP server will assign an IP address for supplicant, you can ignore this step.)
STEP 2: Select the IEE E802.1x Authentication Enable check box, then configure the EAP type as MD5-Challenge.
After setting this function in the NIC, the supplicant should enter a correct pair of account and password to use this Ethernet port
service from the LIG1014A/LIE1014A.

Authentication Behavior
The supplicant should pass authentication process to use any service. After the supplicant enters the correct account and
password stored in RADIUS server, it can be authenticated successfully. The authentication process is described in the following
diagram.

5.4.2 Fiber, SFP
For both 100/1000 Mbps fiber speed connections, the SFP slots are available. The SFP slot accepts the fiber transceivers
that typically have an LC connector.
The fiber transceivers have options of multimode, single mode, long-haul or specialapplication transceivers.
DANGER:
Never attempt to view optical connectors that might be emitting laser energy.
Do not power up the laser product without connecting the laser to the optical fiber and putting the dust cover
in position, because laser outputs will emit infrared laser light at this point.
