(24) 10/100/1000 BASE-TX + (4) 1000BASE-FX with Power over Ethernet (PoE)

v1.4 Sept 2012

The ComNetCNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ Managed Redundant Ring Ethernet Switch provides robust transmission of (24) 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) ports and (4) 1000BASEFX ports of Ethernet data. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3at, up to 720 watts of PoE or PoE+ power is available for distribution across all 24 Base-TX ports. The four 1000BASEFX ports may be used with multimode or single-mode optical fiber when used with ComNet SFPs. The exclusive C-Ring protects mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast recovery technology. eConsole, a powerful, easy-to-use Windows-based utility, allows the CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ to be centrally managed. Diverse media selection provides for easy implementation of point-to-point, linear add-drop, drop-and-repeat, star, or true self-healing ring and mesh network system architectures. The electrical ports support the 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet IEEE802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are included for simplicity and ease of installation. These network-managed layer 2 switches are optically (1000BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any IEEE802.3 compliant Ethernet device. Unlike most Ethernet switches, the environmentally hardened CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ is designed for direct deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating environments. Featuring a low-profile 1-RU high rack-mountable package, these units may be mounted within any standard 19-inch rack cabinet, and the high-capacity power supply for operation of the switch and PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) is completely self-contained.

Overview

Introduction

CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ series is managed Redundant Ring Ethernet switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) ports with PoE (PSE) function and 4x1000BASE-X SFP ports. With completely support of Ethernet Redundancy protocol, C-Ring (recovery time < 30ms over 250 units of connection), Legacy Ring and MSTP/RSTP/STP (IEEE 802.1 s/w/D) can protect your mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast recovery technology. ComNet switches provide advanced IP-based bandwidth management that can limit the maximum bandwidth for each IP device. Users can configure IP cameras and Network Video Recorders with more bandwidth and limit other device bandwidth. ComNet switches also support application-based QoS (Quality-of-Service). Application-based QoS can set highest priority for data stream according to the TCP/UDP port number. The ComNet special IP police function can only permit allowed IP address with MAC address to access the networking. Hacker cannot access the IP surveillance network without permission. It can avoid

hackers from stealing video privacy data and attacking IP camera, Network Video Recorders and controllers. ComNet switches also provided advanced DOS/DDOS auto prevention. If there is any IP flow become big in short time, ComNet switches will lock the source IP address for certain amount of time to prevent the attack. Its hardware based prevention so it can prevent DOS/ DDOS attack immediately and completely. CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ series also supports Power over Ethernet, a system to transmit electrical power up to 30 watts, along with data, to remote devices over standard CAT5/5-e/6 cable in an Ethernet network. Each CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ series switch has 24 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) ports. PSE is a device (switch or hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE connection. All functions of the CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE+ series can be centrally managed by a powerful windows utility, eConsole. These switches are one of the most reliable choices for highly managed and Gigabit Fiber Optic Ethernet applications requiring PoE.

LLDP Parameters

This page allows the user to inspect and configure the current LLDP port settings.

Label

Description

TX Interval

The switch is periodically transmitting LLDP frames to its neighbor’s

 

for having the network discovery information up-to-date. The interval

 

between each LLDP frame is determined by the TX Interval value.

 

Valid values are restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.

TX Hold

Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information

 

in the LLDP frame shall be considered valid. The LLDP information

 

valid period is set to TX Hold multiplied by TX Interval seconds. Valid

 

values are restricted to 2 - 10 times.

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 TX Delay seconds. TX Delay cannot be

 

larger than 1/4 of the TX Interval value. Valid values are restricted to

 

1 - 8192 seconds.

TX Reinit

When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted

 

a LLDP shutdown frame is transmitted to the neighbComNet 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. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 10 seconds.

table are decoded. All other TLVs are discarded (Unrecognized CDP TLVs and discarded

 

CDP frame are not shown in the LLDP statistic. Only). CDP TLVs are mapped into LLDP

 

neighbor’s table as shown below.

 

 

CDP TLV “Device ID” is mapped into the LLDP “Chassis ID” field.

 

CDP TLV “Address” is mapped into the LLDP “Management Address” field. The CDP

 

address TLV can contain multiple addresses, but only the first address is shown in the

 

LLDP neighbor’s table.

 

 

CDP TLV “Port ID” is mapped into the LLDP “Port ID” field.

 

 

CDP TLV “Version and Platform” is mapped into the LLDP “System Description” field.

 

Both the CDP and LLDP supports “system capabilities”, but the CDP capabilities cover

 

capabilities that are not part of the LLDP. These capabilities are shown as “others” in the

 

LLDP neighbor’s table.

 

 

If all ports have CDP awareness disabled the switch forwards CDP frames received from

 

neighbor devices. If at least one port has CDP awareness enabled all CDP frames are

 

terminated by the switch.

 

 

Note: When CDP awareness for a port is disabled the CDP information isn’t removed

 

immediately, but will be removed when the hold time is exceeded.

LLDP Neighbor Information

This page provides a status overview for all LLDP neighbors. The displayed table contains a row for each port on which an LLDP neighbor is detected. The columns hold the following information:

Label

Description

Local Port

The port on which the LLDP frame was received.

Chassis ID

The Chassis ID is the identification of the neighbor’s LLDP frames.

Remote Port ID

The Remote Port ID is the identification of the neighbor port.

System Name

System Name is the name advertised by the neighbor unit.

Port Description

Port Description is the port description advertised by the neighbor

 

unit.

Local Counters

 

 

Label

Description

 

Local Port

The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.

TX Frames

The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.

Rx Frames

The number of LLDP frames received on the port.

 

Rx Errors

The number of received LLDP frames containing some kind of error.

Frames DiscardedIf 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 Neighbor’s” 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 links 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

The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.

Unrecognized

 

 

Org. Discarded

The number of organizationally TLVs received.

 

Age-Outs

Each LLDP frame contains information about how long time 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.
