Introduction
Overview
The RocketLinx ES7506 is designed for industrial PoE applications such as IP surveillance or wireless access
points, where the power source is not conveniently located. The ES7506 provides:
• Four 10/100BASE-TX Power over Ethernet Plus ports
• Two redundant 10/100BASE-TX uplink ports
The ES7506 supports intelligent PoE control and schedule management. Each of the four PoE ports can be
configured in a weekly schedule by hourly basis and PoE on/off can be remotely controlled via SNMP and web
user interface.
It is compliant to both IEEE 802.3af PoE as well as the pioneer standard of IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus designed
for boosting PoE delivery up to 30W in each of the four PoE ports. The ES7506 can auto-detect 24V and 48V
power input and can deliver 24V and 48V PoE outputs which allow more applications where 48VDC is not an
option.
The two uplink ports can be configured as Redundant Ring ports recovering network failure in less than 5ms,
or RSTP ports integrating with other standard switches. Full network management features such as SNMP
v3, QoS, IGMP v3 are all supported. If the powered device fails to respond after a pre-configured time
interval, the ES7506 will reboot the powered device and continue to monitor the powered device in every preconfigured time interval. Also, unmanageable powered devices can be managed through the ES7506.
The IP31 rigid aluminum flat casing and wide operation temperature range ensure reliable operation in
places such as mass transit vehicles or outdoor usage.
Detailed specifications are available for the ES7506

All of the Ethernet ports automatically detect the signal from the connected devices to negotiate the link
speed and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex). Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or
workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the
transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.
Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into any switch port and connect the other side to your attached device.
The LNK/ACT LED is lit when the cable is correctly connected. Always make sure that the cables between
the switches and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) are less than 100 meters (328
feet) and meet these requirements.
• 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable

Configuration Using the Web User Interface
The ES7506 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES7506 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES7506 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES7506. The CLI and Telnet are
discussed in
• In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7506 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES7506 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES7506 provides HTTP web user interface (
user interface (Page 34) for web management.

Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet is one of the key features of the ES7506.It supports IEEE 802.3at higher power
capabilities and is in compliance with IEEE 802.3af standards. The ES7506 is equipped with power injectors
on ports one through four. Each port is capable of delivering 0.651mA of current.
The following pages are included in this section:
• PoE Control
• PoE Scheduling on Page 64
• PoE Status
PoE Control
The ES7506 also provides PD Status Detection. This provides automatic detection of a remote device powered
by the ES7506. If the remote system crashes or is unstable, the ES7506 performs a system reboot by turning
off and on again to trigger the remote device.
The power mode can be changed between IEEE 802.3af and forced via the combo box on the PoE configuration
page. When using IEEE 802.3af the ES7506 provides power to any device that complies with the IEEE
802.3af specification.
Note: If Forced mode is selected, power is provided even if no Ethernet cable is plugged in. Only use Forced
mode if you are attaching a device that is capable of receiving power through its Ethernet connection.

RSTP
If a switch has more than one path to a destination, it
leads to message loops that can generate broadcast
storms and quickly bog down a network.
The spanning tree was created to combat the negative
effects of message loops in switched networks. A
spanning tree uses a spanning tree algorithm (STA) to
automatically sense whether a switch has more than one
way to communicate with a node. It then selects the best
path (primary), and blocks the other paths. It also keeps
track of the blocked paths in case the primary path fails.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) introduced a standard
method to accomplish this. It is specified in IEEE
802.1D-1998. Later, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) was adopted and represents the evolution of STP,
providing much faster spanning tree convergence after a
topology change. This is specified in IEEE 802.1w. In
2004, IEEE 802.1w is included into the IEEE 802.1D2004 version. This switch supports both RSTP and STP
(all switches that support RSTP are also backward
compatible with switches that support only STP).This
page allows you to enable/disable RSTP, configure the
global setting and port settings.

RSTP
Parameter settings required for both STP and RSTP are the same. 802.1d refers to STP
mode, while 802.1w refers to faster RSTP mode.
Bridge Configuration
RSTP uses bridge ID to determine the root bridge, the bridge with the highest bridge ID
becomes the root bridge. The bridge ID is composed of bridge priority and bridge MAC
Priority (0-
61440)
address. The bridge with the highest priority becomes the highest bridge ID. If all the
bridge IDs have the same priority, the bridge with the lowest MAC address then becomes
the root bridge.
Note: The bridge priority value must be in multiples of 4,096. A device with a lower
number has a higher bridge priority. Ex: 4096 is higher than 32,768.
Enter a value from 6 to 40 seconds here. This value represents the time that a bridge waits
without receiving Spanning Tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting to
reconfigure.
Max Age (6-40)
If the ES7506 is not the root bridge, and if it has not received a hello message from the
root bridge in an amount of time equal to Max Age, then the ES7506 reconfigures itself as
a root bridge. Once two or more devices on the network are recognized as a root bridge, the
devices renegotiate to set up a new spanning tree topology.
Enter a value from 1 to 10 seconds here. This is a periodic timer that drives the switch to
Hello Time (1-
10)
send out bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) packet to check current STP status. The root
bridge of the spanning tree topology periodically sends out a hello message to other
devices on the network to check if the topology is healthy. The hello time is the amount of
time the root has waited during sending hello messages.
Enter a value between 4 and 30 seconds. This value is the time that a port waits before
Forward Delay
Time (4-30)
changing from Spanning Tree Protocol learning and listening states to forwarding state.
This is the amount of time the ES7506 waits before checking to see if it should be changed
to a different state.
Note: You must observe the following rule to configure Hello Time, Forwarding Delay, and Max Age
parameters.

Enter a value between 0 and 240, using multiples of 16. This is the value that decides
which port should be blocked by priority in a LAN.
Some of the rapid state transitions that are possible within RSTP depend upon whether
the port of concern can only be connected to another bridge (that is, it is served by a point-
Admin P2P
to-point LAN segment), or if it can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e, it is served by
a shared-medium LAN segment). This function allows P2P status of the link to be
manipulated administratively. Auto means to auto select P2P or Share mode. P2P means
P2P is enabled, while Share means P2P is disabled.
A port directly connected to the end stations cannot create a bridging loop in the network.
Admin Edge
To configure this port as an edge port, set the port to the Enable state. When the non-
bridge device connects an admin edge port, this port is in a blocking state and turns to a
forwarding state in 4 seconds.

Redundant Ring
The most common industrial network redundancy is to form a ring or loop. Typically, managed switches are
connected in series and the last switch is connected back to the first one. In such connection, you can
implement Redundant Ring technology. The ES7506 can only create a single ring.

In RDH, you do not need to configure a specific port to connect to other protocol. The RDH
selects the fastest link for the primary link and blocks all the other links to avoid a loop.
If the primary link failed, RDH automatically forwards the secondary link for a network
redundant. If there are more connections, they are standby links and are recovered if
both primary and secondary links are broken.

VLAN
VLAN
The RocketLinx ES7506 supports Port-Based VLAN functionality for the purpose of limiting a broadcast
domain to specific members of a group by physically grouping the members together.
The RocketLinx ES7506 determines the membership of a data frame by examining the configuration of the
port that received the transmission, or by reading a portion of the data frame’s tag header. A four-byte field in
the header is used to identify the VLAN. This VLAN identification indicates which VLAN the frame belongs
to. If the frame has no tag header, the switch checks the VLAN setting of the port that received the frame. If
the switch has been configured for port based VLAN support, it assigns the port’s VLAN identification to the
new frame.

Traffic Prioritization
Quality of Service (QoS) provides a traffic prioritization mechanism which allows you to deliver better service
to certain flows. QoS can also help to alleviate congestion problems and ensure high-priority traffic is
delivered first. This section allows you to configure Traffic Prioritization settings for each port with regard to
setting priorities.
The ES7506 QoS supports four physical queues, weighted fair queuing (WRR) and Strict Priority scheme, that
follows the IEEE 802.1p CoS tag and IPv4 TOS/DiffServ information to prioritize the traffic of your industrial
network.

This is also known as WRR (Weight Round Robin). The ES7506 follows the 8:4:2:1 rate to
process the packets in a queue from the highest priority to the lowest. For example, the
system processes 8 packets with the highest priority in the queue, 4 with middle priority,
2 with low priority, and 1 with the lowest priority at the same time.
Packets with higher priority in the queue are always processed first, except that there is
no packet with higher priority.

Use this page to change the CoS values into the Physical Queue mapping table. Since the switch fabric of
ES7506 supports four queues, Lowest, Low, Middle, and High users should therefore assign how to map the
CoS value to the level of the physical queue.
You can assign the mapping table or follow the suggestion
of the IEEE 802.1p standard. The ES7506 uses IEEE
802.1p suggestion as default values. CoS Values 1 and 2
are mapped to physical Queue 0, the lowest queue. CoS
Values 0 and 3 are mapped to physical Queue 1, the low/
normal physical queue. CoS Values 4 and 5 are mapped to
physical Queue 2, the middle physical queue. CoS Values
6 and 7 are mapped to physical Queue 3, the high
physical queue.
Class of service (CoS) is a 3 bit field within a layer two
Ethernet frame header defined by IEEE 802.1p when
using IEEE 802.1Q tagging. The field specifies a priority value of between 0 and 7 inclusive that can be used
by Quality of Service (QoS) disciplines to differentiate traffic.
While CoS operates only on Ethernet at the data link layer, other QoS mechanisms (such as DiffServ) operate
at the network layer and higher. Others operate on other physical layers. Although IEEE 802.1Q tagging
must be enabled to communicate priority information from switch to switch, some switches use CoS to
internally classify traffic for QoS purposes.
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a model where traffic is treated by intermediate systems with relative
priorities based on the type of services (ToS) field. Defined in RFC2474 and RFC2475, the DiffServ standard
supersedes the original specification for defining packet priority described in RFC791. DiffServ increases the
number of definable priority levels by reallocating bits of an IP packet for priority marking. The DiffServ
architecture defines the DiffServ field, which supersedes the ToS field in IPv4 to make per-hop behavior
(PHB) decisions about packet classification and traffic conditioning functions, such as; metering, marking,
shaping, and policing.

Multicast Filtering
For multicast filtering, the ES7506 uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping technology.
IGMP is an internet protocol that provides a way for internet device to report its multicast group membership
to adjacent routers. Multicasting allows one computer on the internet to send data to a multitude of other
computers that have identified themselves as being interested in receiving the originating computer’s data.
Multicasting is useful for such applications as updating the address books of mobile computer users in the
field, sending out newsletters to a distribution list, and broadcasting streaming media to an audience that has
tuned into the event by setting up multicast group membership.
In effect, IGMP Snooping manages multicast traffic by making use of switches, routers, and hosts that
support IGMP. Enabling IGMP Snooping allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage
multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP has three fundamental types of messages, as shown in the
following table.

MAC Address Table Page
Each switch fabric has a size limit to write the learnt MAC address. To save more
entries for a new MAC address, the switch fabric ages out a non-used MAC address
entry per the Aging Time timeout.
This value determines the interval that an automatically learnt MAC address
Aging Time (Sec)
entry remains valid in the forwarding database, since its last access as a source
address, before being purged. The value should be increments of 15 in seconds.
The minimum age time is 15 seconds. The maximum age time is 3825 seconds or
almost 64 minutes. The default Aging Time is 300 seconds.
If the value is set to 0, the aging function is disabled and all learned addresses
remain in the database forever.
Static Unicast MAC
Address
Some applications may require that you type in the static Unicast MAC address to
its MAC address table. Type the MAC address (format: xxxx.xxxx.xxxx), select its
VID, and Port ID, and then click Add to add it to MAC Address Table.
This displays all the MAC addresses learnt by the switch fabric.
MAC Address Table
The packet types include Management Unicast, Static Unicast, Dynamic Unicast,
Static Multicast, and Dynamic Multicast.
The table allows you to sort the address by the packet types and port.
• Management Unicast means the MAC address of the switch. It belongs only to
the CPU port.
• Static Unicast MAC addresses can be added and deleted.
• Dynamic Unicast MAC is a MAC address learnt by the switch Fabric.
• Static Multicast can be added by the CLI and can be deleted using the web user

Overview
The ES7506 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES7506 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES7506 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES7506.
• In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7506 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES7506 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI.
If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the ES7506 IP address to meet your
network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and
NetVisionPortVision DX, which is discussed in Configuring the Network Settings
If you want to use the web user interface for configuration, see Configuration Using the Web User Interface
Page 31.
Use the following procedures to access the ES7506 using the CLI:
• Using the Serial Console
• Using a Telnet/SSH Console
This section contains information about the following groups of commands:
• Basic Settings (CLI)
• Port Configuration (CLI)
