CNGE12FX4TX8MSPOE/TS
The ComNet CNGE12FX4TX8MS[POE]/TS is a twelve port, managed Ethernet switch.
The switch is mechanically designed to fit into the input file of a NEMA TS2 traffic
detector rack and derives power and ground from the backplane. The small form factor
allows the user to take advantage of existing rack space already dedicated within an
already space limited traffic cabinet making installation clean and easy. The four SFP
ports are 100/1000Mbps capable, allowing single-mode or multimode optical fiber
transmission with the use of optional SFPs. The density of the SFP ports allows for
an optical drop-and-repeat, ring or star (north-south-east-west) topology to address
the majority of traffic applications. The remaining eight RJ-45 ports allow for highthroughput 10/100/1000TX Gigabit connectivity on the local copper Ethernet access
ports. The CNGE12FX4TX8MSPOE/TS features IEEE 802.3at (30W) PoE on all eight
RJ-45 Ethernet ports for PoE-compliant devices such as wireless radios or IP cameras.
The ideal solution when footprint within the traffic cabinet is limited.

Redundancy
C-Ring
C-Ring is one of the most powerful Ring technologies in the world. The recovery time of C-Ring is
less than 30 ms. It can reduce unexpected damage caused by network topology change. C-Ring
supports 3 different Ring topologies: Ring, Coupling Ring and Dual Homing.
C-Ring interface
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
LabelDescription
C-RingMark to enable Ring.
Ring MasterThere should be one and only one Ring Master in a ring. However if there are two
or more switches which set Ring Master to enable, the switch with the lowest MAC
address will be the actual Ring Master and others will be Backup Masters.
1st Ring PortThe primary port, when this switch is Ring Master.
2nd Ring PortThe backup port, when this switch is Ring Master.
Coupling RingMark to enable Coupling Ring. Coupling Ring can be used to divide a big ring into
two smaller rings to avoid effecting all switches when network topology change. It is a
good application for connecting two Rings.
Coupling PortLink to Coupling Port of the switch in another ring. Coupling Ring needs four switches
to build an active and a backup link.
Set a port as coupling port. The coupled four ports of four switches will be run in
active/backup mode.
Dual HomingMark to enable Dual Homing. By selecting Dual Homing mode, Ring will be connected
to normal switches through two RSTP links (ex: backbone Switch). The two links work as
active/backup mode, and connect each Ring to the normal switches in RSTP mode.
ApplyClick “Apply” to set the configurations.
Note: It is not recommended to set one switch as a Ring Master and a Coupling Ring at the same
time due to heavy load.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CNGE12FX4TX8MS[POE]/TS
Legacy Ring
Legacy ring provides support for the switch to be used in an existing ring of ComNet X-Ring
enabled switches.
X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar
to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the X-Ring topology, every
switch should be enabled with X-Ring or Legacy Ring function and two ports should be assigned
as the member ports in the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group would be set as the master
switch that one of its two member ports would be blocked, called backup port, and another port
is called working port. Other switches in the X-Ring group are called working switches and their
two member ports are called working ports. When the failure of network connection occurs,
the backup port of the master switch (Ring Master) will automatically become a working port to

The switch supports the function and interface for setting the switch as the ring master or not. The
ring master can negotiate and place command to other switches in the X-Ring group. If there are
2 or more switches in master mode, the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address
number as the ring master. The X-Ring master ring mode can be enabled by setting the Legacy

CIST Ports
This page allows the user to inspect the current STP CIST port configurations, and possibly change
them as well. This page contains settings for physical and aggregated ports. The aggregation
settings are stack global.
LabelDescription
PortThe switch port number of the logical STP port.
STP EnabledControls whether STP is enabled on this switch port.
Path CostControls the path cost incurred by the port. The Auto setting will set the path cost as
appropriate by the physical link speed, using the 802.1D recommended values. Using
the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The path cost is used when
establishing the active topology of the network. Lower path cost ports are chosen as
forwarding ports in favor of higher path cost ports. Valid values are in the range 1 to
200000000.
PriorityControls the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having identical
port cost. (See above).
OpenEdge (state
flag)
Operational flag describing whether the port is connecting directly to edge devices.
(No Bridges attached). Transitioning to the forwarding state is faster for edge ports
(having openEdge true) than for other ports.
AdminEdgeControls whether the openEdge flag should start as being set or cleared. (The initial
openEdge state when a port is initialized).
AutoEdgeControls whether the bridge should enable automatic edge detection on the bridge
port. This allows openEdge to be derived from whether BPDU’s are received on the
port or not.
Restricted RoleIf enabled, causes the port not to be selected as Root Port for the CIST or any MSTI,
even if it has the best spanning tree priority vector. Such a port will be selected as an
Alternate Port after the Root Port has been selected. If set, it can cause lack of spanning
tree connectivity. It can be set by a network administrator to prevent bridges external
to a core region of the network influencing the spanning tree active topology, possibly
because those bridges are not under the full control of the administrator. This feature is
also know as Root Guard.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CNGE12FX4TX8MS[POE]/TS
LabelDescription
Restricted TCNIf enabled, causes the port not to propagate received topology change notifications
and topology changes to other ports. If set it can cause temporary loss of connectivity
after changes in a spanning trees active topology as a result of persistent incorrectly
learned station location information. It is set by a network administrator to prevent
bridges external to a core region of the network, causing address flushing in
that region, possibly because those bridges are not under the full control of the
administrator or is the physical link state for the attached LANs transitions frequently.
Point2PointControls whether the port connects to a point-to-point LAN rather than a shared
medium. This can be automatically determined, or forced either true or false. Transition
to the forwarding state is faster for point-to-point LANs than for shared media.

Traffic Prioritization
Storm Control
There is a unicast storm rate control, multicast storm rate control, and a broadcast storm rate
control. These only affect flooded frames, i.e. frames with a (VLAN ID, DMAC) pair not present on
the MAC Address table.
The rate is 2^n, where n is equal to or less than 15, or “No Limit”. The unit of the rate can be
either pps (packets per second) or kpps (kilopackets per second). The configuration indicates the
permitted packet rate for unicast, multicast, or broadcast traffic across the switch.
Note: Frames, which are sent to the CPU of the switch are always limited to approximately 4 kpps.
For example, broadcasts in the management VLAN are limited to this rate. The management
VLAN is configured on the IP setup page.
LabelDescription
Fr ame TypeThe settings in a particular row apply to the frame type listed here: unicast, multicast,
or broadcast.
EnableEnable or disable the storm control status for the given frame type.
RateThe rate unit is packet per second (pps), configure the rate as 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K,
64K, 128K, 256K, 512K, or 1024K.
The 1 kpps is actually 1002.1 pps.

Port Classification
QoS is an acronym for Quality of Service. It is a method to guarantee a bandwidth relationship
between individual applications or protocols.
LabelDescription
PortThe port number for which the configuration below applies
QoS ClassControls the default QoS class.
All frames are classified to a QoS class. There is a one to one mapping between QoS
class, queue and priority. A QoS class of 0 (zero) has the lowest priority.
If the port is VLAN aware and the frame is tagged, then the frame is classified to a QoS
class that is based on the PCP value in the tag as shown below. Otherwise the frame is
classified to the default QoS class.
PCP value: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
QoS class: 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7
If the port is VLAN aware, the frame is tagged and Tag Class is enabled, then the
frame is classified to a QoS class that is mapped from the PCP and DEI value in the tag.
Otherwise the frame is classified to the default QoS class.
The classified QoS class can be overruled by a QCL entry.
Note: If the default QoS class has been dynamically changed, then the actual default
QoS class is shown in parentheses after the configured default QoS class.
DP levelControls the default Drop Precedence Level.
All frames are classified to a DP level.
If the port is VLAN aware and the frame is tagged, then the frame is classified to a DP
level that is equal to the DEI value in the tag. Otherwise the frame is classified to the
default DP level.
If the port is VLAN aware, the frame is tagged and Tag Class is enabled, then the
frame is classified to a DP level that is mapped from the PCP and DEI value in the tag.
Otherwise the frame is classified to the default DP level.
The classified DP level can be overruled by a QCL entry.
PCPControls the default PCP value.
All frames are classified to a PCP value.
If the port is VLAN aware and the frame is tagged, then the frame is classified to the
PCP value in the tag. Otherwise the frame is classified to the default PCP value.

Common Server Configuration
This page allows you to configure the Authentication Servers
LabelDescription
TimeoutThe Timeout, which can be set to a number between 3 and 3600 seconds, is the maximum
time to wait for a reply from a server.
If the server does not reply within this time frame, we will consider it to be dead and
continue with the next enabled server (if any).
RADIUS servers are using the UDP protocol, which is unreliable by design. In order to cope
with lost frames, the timeout interval is divided into 3 subintervals of equal length. If a reply
is not received within the subinterval, the request is transmitted again. This algorithm causes
the RADIUS server to be queried up to 3 times before it is considered to be dead.
Dead TimeThe Dead Time, which can be set to a number between 0 and 3600 seconds, is the period
during which the switch will not send new requests to a server that has failed to respond to
a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying to contact a server that it
has already determined as dead.
Setting the Dead Time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if
more than one server has been configured.
