Introduction

The Cisco SLM2008 8-port Gigabit Smart Switch with PD and AC Power allows
you to upgrade your existing network by replacing your current workgroup hub or
switch. At the same time, you can configure advanced features for security, QoS,
and Spanning Tree using its web-based configuration utility.

The Cisco SLM2008 switch not only allows you to upgrade to gigabit speeds but
also allows you to expand your network securely. The Gigabit Smart Switch with
PD have virtual LAN (VLAN) capabilities to restrict the flow of multicast and
broadcast traffic. Stations within a given VLAN can freely communicate using
either unicast or multicast addressing. Communication between different VLANs is
not possible.

1

Extensive QoS features make the solution ideal for real-time applications like Voice
and Video. The 4 priority queues together with the Weighted Round Robin and
Strict Priority scheduling techniques facilitate efficient coexistence of real-time
traffic with data traffic allowing them each to meet their QoS needs. Individual
users or applications can be prioritized above others using various Class of
Service options - by port, layer 2 priority (802.1p), and layer 3 priority (TOS or
DSCP). Intelligent broadcast and multicast storm controls minimize and contain the
effects of these types of traffic on regular traffic. IGMP Snooping limits
bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding all users.
Incoming traffic can be policed and outgoing traffic can be shaped allowing you to
control network access and traffic flow.

There are features that allow you to expand and grow your network of switches.
Link aggregation allows multiple high-bandwidth trunks between switches to be
setup. This also provides a level of reliability in that the system continues to
operate if one of the links breaks. Spanning Tree (STP) allow you to build a mesh of
switches increasing the availability of the system.

Getting to Know the Cisco SLM2008 Switch

Back Panel

Back Panel

The Ethernet ports are located on the back panel of the switch.

Port 1—This port supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD
standard, which enables a system to receive data and supply electrical power to
the switch over a standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. Any 802.3af­compliant PSE device, such as a PoE switch, can directly supply power to the
switch. Simply connect a standard twisted-pair cable from a PoE switch to Port 1
on the switch. Using PoE to power the switch eliminates the need to use the power
adapter and AC power.

2

Side Panels

To connect a device to a port, use a Category 5 network cable.

Ports 1-8—These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto­sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the
device connected to it and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.

The reset button and power port are located on the right side panel of the switch.

Configuring LACP Settings

Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the
bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link
between the switch and another network device. For dynamic LAGs, the switches
have to comply with LACP. This switch supports up to two LAGs. For example, a
LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4
Gbps when operating at full duplex.

Configuring VLAN Settings

A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but
communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment. VLANs help to
simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN
without having to change any physical connections. VLANs can be easily
organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage
groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such
as videoconferencing). You can create up to 16 VLANs on the switch.

To create a single VLAN, enter the VLAN ID and click Add. Use the VLAN ID
window to configure port members or LAG members for a specific VLAN index.

To configure VLAN Port Settings, follow these steps:

STEP 1 Click VLAN > VLAN Port Settings.

STEP 2 Configure the VLAN port settings by adding the required settings for each

interface.

• Enable Tx Force Untag—When this option is enabled, all egress frames

from this port become untagged. The default value is Disable. When this
function is disabled, only frames with the VLAN ID equal to the PVID will
become untagged, otherwise, frames are sent with a VLAN tag.

• Enable Ingress Filter—Determines how to process frames tagged for

VLANs for which the ingress port is not a member. The default value is
enabled. Ingress filtering only affects tagged frames. If ingress filtering is
disabled and a port receives frames with a VLAN tag that uses a different
PVID than the receiving port, the packet types will be forwarded to the port
belonging to the appropriate VLAN (determined by the VLAN tag). If ingress
filtering is enabled and a port receives frames tagged for VLANs for which it
is not a member, these frames will be discarded.

• Acceptable Frame Type—Sets the interface to accept all frame types,

including tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames. When set to
receive all frame types, any received frames that are untagged are

Configuring 802.1X Settings

Network switches can provide open and easy access to network resources by
simply attaching a client PC. Although this automatic configuration and access is a
desirable feature, it also allows unauthorized personnel to easily intrude and
possibly gain access to sensitive network data.

The IEEE 802.1X (dot1X) standard defines a port-based access control procedure
that prevents unauthorized access to a network by requiring users to first submit
credentials for authentication. Access to all switch ports in a network can be
centrally controlled from a server, which means that authorized users can use the
same credentials for authentication from any point within the network.

The Cisco SLM2008 switch uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol over
LANs (EAPOL) to exchange authentication protocol messages with the client, and
a remote RADIUS authentication server to verify user identity and access rights.
When a client connects to a switch port, the switch responds with an EAPOL
identity request. The client provides its identity (such as a user name) in an EAPOL

Advanced Configuration

Security

5

response to the switch, which it forwards to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS
server verifies the client identity and sends an access challenge back to the client.
The EAP packet from the RADIUS server contains not only the challenge, but the
authentication method to be used. The client can reject the authentication method
and request another, depending on the configuration of the client software and the
RADIUS server. The authentication method must be MD5. The client responds to
the appropriate method with its credentials, such as a password or certificate. The
RADIUS server verifies the client credentials and responds with an accept or
reject packet. If authentication is successful, the switch allows the client to access
the network. Otherwise, network access is denied and the port remains blocked.

The operation of 802.1X on the Cisco SLM2008 switch requires the following:

• The switch must have an IP address assigned.

• RADIUS authentication must be enabled on the switch and the IP address of

the RADIUS server specified.

• 802.1X must be enabled globally for the switch.

• Each switch port that will be used must be set to dot1X “Auto” mode.

• Each client that needs to be authenticated must have dot1X client software

installed and properly configured.

• The RADIUS server and 802.1X client support EAP. (The switch only

supports EAPOL in order to pass the EAP packets from the server to the
client.)

• The RADIUS server and client also have to support the same EAP

authentication type – MD5. (Some clients have native support in Windows,
otherwise the dot1x client must support it.)

Static MAC Address allows you to configure a switch port with the MAC address
of one or more devices that are authorized to access the network through that
port. The MAC address is bound to the ingress port specified on the list and does

Configuring QoS Settings

Network traffic is usually unpredictable and the only basic assurance that can be
offered is best effort traffic delivery. To overcome this challenge, QoS is applied
throughout the network. This ensures that network traffic is prioritized according
to specified criteria, and that specific traffic receives preferential treatment. QoS
in the network optimizes network performance and entails two basic facilities:

Classifying incoming traffic into handling classes, based on an attribute, including:

• The ingress interface

• Packet content

• A combination of these attributes

• Providing various mechanisms for determining the allocation of network

resources to different handling classes, including:

• The assignment of network traffic to a particular hardware queue

• The assignment of internal resources

You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that requires all
traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before lower priority queues are
serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative
weight of each queue. WRR uses a pre-defined relative weight for each queue that
determines the percentage of service time the switch services each queue before
moving on to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can
occur with strict priority queuing.

Configuring STP Settings

The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network
loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This
allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant
switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists
between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which
automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
