Introduction
The ES7510 is an industrial ten port managed PoE Plus switch that provides:
• Eight 10/100BASE-TX PoE Plus ports that are IEEE 802.3af (15.4W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) compliant
with a forced powering feature to support non-standard Power Devices (PDs)
• Two Gigabit (10/100/1000BASE-TX) uplink ports
The ES7510 meets the high power and advanced management needs of critical PoE applications such as realtime IP video surveillance and wireless communication utilizing Wimax and IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n access
points. Featuring a rugged design for harsh environments, web user interface, Command Line Interface (CLI),
SNMP management options, power scheduling, and eight fully compliant IEEE 802.3at PoE injector ports, the
ES7510 is easily configured to deliver up to 30W for even the most power intensive devices such as IP cameras
utilizing heaters and pan/tilt/zoom controls.
In addition to functioning as a PoE power source, the ES7510 includes features to enhance device control,
ensuring that power consumption does not exceed parameters that you define. This includes power budget
control functions to limit power output on devices not reporting correct consumption rates and device priority
options to guarantee power to critical devices while avoiding power supply overloads.
The ES7510 is equipped with full Layer 2+ management capabilities to provide the most flexible network
configuration and control. Features like Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allow grouping of multiple
ports to enhance bandwidth and provide load balancing while port-based VLAN with tunneling, QoS, IGMP
Snooping, and Rate Control features enable optimum control over network environments. In addition to the
full array of management capabilities, the ES7510 also supports security features that protect the network
and guarantee secure, reliable data transmission. Fault relay and email notification of event alarms, DHCP
supporting IP and MAC binding, IEEE 802.1x Access Control, SSH, and many other controls are included to
make secure administration and management a simple task.
The ES7510 provides features needed for network control and security in an industrial network environment.

Configuration Using the Web User Interface
The ES7510 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES7510 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES7510 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES7510. The CLI and Telnet are
discussed in
• In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7510 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES7510 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES7510 provides HTTP web user interface (
user interface (Page 26) for web management.
Configuration Overview
This subsection discusses a minimum level of configuration required to operate the ES7510.
1. If you have not done so, install the hardware, see Hardware Installation on Page 9.
2. If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the ES7510 IP address to meet
your network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and
NetVision, see

Subnet Mask
Note: In the CLI, the enabled bit of the subnet mask is used to represent the
number displayed in the web management interface. For example, 8
represents: 255.0.0.0,16 represents: 255.255.0.0, 24 represents:
255.255.255.0.
You can assign the gateway for the switch here. The default gateway is

Note: In the CLI, use 0.0.0.0/0 to represent the default gateway.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a
distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the
Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain
DNS Server 1/2
names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it
translates domain names meaningful into the numerical identifiers associated
with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these
devices worldwide.
You can enter an IPv6 address for the ES7510.
An IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits,
IPv6 Address
each group representing 16 bits (two octets). The groups are separated by
colons (:), and the length of IPv6 address is 128bits.
The 64-bit interface identifier is automatically generated from the MAC
address for the ES7510 using the modified EUI-64 format.
Prefix This IPv6 prefix specifies the size of a network or subnet. The default is 64.
The IPv6 default gateway IP address identifies the gateway (for example, a
IPv6 Default
Gateway
router) that receives and forwards those packets whose addresses are
unknown to the local network. The agent uses the default gateway address
when sending alert packets to the management workstation on a network
other than the local network.

The IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) supports very precise time
synchronization in an Ethernet network. There are two clocks, master and slave. The
master device periodically launches an exchange of messages with slave devices to help
each slave clock re-compute the offset between its clock and the master's clock.
To enable IEEE 1588, select Enable in the PTP State and choose Auto, Master or
Slave Mode. After the time is synchronized, the system time displays the correct time
from the PTP server.
Select the time zone where the ES7510 is located. The following table lists the time
zones for different locations for your reference. The default time zone is (GMT)
Greenwich Mean Time.
Click the Daylight Saving Time check box and then set the Daylight Saving Time

Port Trunking
Port Trunking allows you to group multiple Ethernet ports in parallel to increase link bandwidth. The
aggregated ports can be viewed as a physical port that has a bandwidth equal to the combined bandwidth of
each trunked port.The member ports of the same trunk group can balance the loading and backup for each
other. The Port Trunking feature is usually used when you need higher bandwidth for the network backbone.
This is an inexpensive way for you to transfer more data.
The aggregated ports can interconnect to the another switch that also supports Port Trunking. Comtrol
supports two types of port trunking:
• Static Trunk
• IEEE 802.3ad
There are some different descriptions for the port trunking. Different manufacturers may use different
descriptions for their products, like Link Aggregation Group (LAG), Link Aggregation Control Protocol,
Ethernet Trunk, or Ether Channel.
When the other end uses IEEE 802.3ad LACP, you should assign IEEE 802.3ad LACP to the trunk. When the
other end uses non-802.3ad, you can then use Static Trunk.
There are two pages for port trunking, Aggregation Setting
on Page 62 and Aggregation Status on Page 63.

Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet is one of the key features of the ES7510. The ES7510 is IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
compliant. The ES7510 supports up to eight PoE injectors ports, each port with the ability to deliver 30W of
power.
The following pages are included in this section:
• PoE Control
• PoE Scheduling on Page 66
• PoE Status
PoE Control
In WiMax systems, wireless applications, and highend PoE applications, there are various types of
powered devices (PDs). To be compatible with
different PDs, the ES7510 is designed with three
powering modes, including:
• IEEE 802.3af mode
• IEEE 802.3at (LLDP classification mode)
• Forced powering mode to meet any PD type
IEEE 802.3at LLDP provides smart power budget
control behavior to fulfill the needs of higher end
setups requiring exact high power delivery. By
using the ongoing dynamic re-negotiation function
of the IEEE 802.3at LLDP, the ES7510 can perform
more intelligently by dynamically reallocating
power to the PDs. The ES7510 implements the 2
event and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
PoE into the system for efficient power budget
negotiation between the PSE and the PDs.
The ES7510 also provides PD Status Detection.
This provides automatic detection of a remote
device powered by the ES7510. If the remote
system crashes or is unstable, the ES7510
performs a system reboot by turning off and on
again to trigger the remote device.
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.
on Page 67
In IEEE 802.3at mode, the PSE recognizes the PD. It then emits a single classification pulse, and determines
that the PD is IEEE 802.3at high power. The PDs PoE control circuit marks that the PSE supports 1-event
classification. Later, the PSE applies 15.4W power to the PD and hence, starts the operation of PDs CPU and
networking block. If the PDs PoE CPU requests over 12.95W high power by LLDP, the LLDP packet is sent to
the PSE with the high power request. The PSE then allocates the request and sends back the 20W power to
start up the high power requesting device.

Network Redundancy
It is critical for industrial applications that the network remains running at all times. The ES7510 supports:
• Standard Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The ES7510 supports RSTP versions IEEE 802.1D-2004, IEEE 802.1D-1998 STP, and IEEE 802.1w
RSTP.
• Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
MSTP implements IEEE 802.1s, which uses RSTP for rapid convergence, enables VLANs to be grouped
into a spanning-tree instance, with each instance having a spanning-tree topology independent of other
spanning-tree instances. This architecture provides multiple forwarding paths for data traffic, enables
load balancing, and reduces the number of spanning-tree instances required to support a large number of
VLANs. MSTP was originally defined in the IEEE 802.1s and later merged into the IEEE 802.1Q-2003
specification.
• Redundant Ring
The Redundant Ring features 0 ms for restore and less than 5 ms for fail over for copper.
• Rapid Dual Homing (RDH)
Advanced RDH technology allows the ES7510 to connect with a core managed switch easily. With RDH
technology, you can also couple several Rapid Super Rings or RSTP groups together, which is also known
as Auto Ring Coupling.

STP Configuration
This page allows you to select the STP mode and configure the

(STP; IEEE 802.1D) provides a loop-free topology for any LAN
or bridged network.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP; IEEE 802.1w) is an
evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and was
introduced with the IEEE 802.1w standard, and provides faster
spanning tree convergence after a topology change. In most
cases, IEEE 802.1w can also revert back to IEEE 802.1D in
order to interoperate with legacy bridges on a per-port basis.
The new edition of the IEEE 802.1D standard, IEEE 802.1D2004, incorporates the IEEE 802.1t-2001 and IEEE 802.1w
standards.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP; IEEE 802.1s) which

MSTP Configuration
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is a direct extension of RSTP. It can provide an independent
spanning tree for different VLANs. It simplifies network management, creates a faster convergence than
RSTP by limiting the size of each region, and prevents VLAN members from being segmented from the rest of
the group (as sometimes occurs with IEEE 802.1D STP).
While using MSTP, there are some new concepts of network architecture. A switch may belong to different
groups, act as root or designate switch, or generate BPDU packets for the network to maintain the forwarding
table of the spanning tree. MSTP can also provide load balancing between switches.
One VLAN can be mapped to a Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI). The maximum number of instances
that the ES7510 supports is 16, with a range from 0-15. The MSTP builds a separate Multiple Spanning Tree
(MST) for each instance to maintain connectivity among each of the assigned VLAN groups. An Internal
Spanning Tree (IST) is used to connect all the MSTP switches within an MST region. An MST Region may
contain multiple MSTP instances.
The following figure shows a MSTP instance with two VLANs. Each instance has a root node and forwarding
paths.
A Common Spanning Tree (CST) interconnects all adjacent MST regions and acts as a virtual bridge node for
communications with STP or RSTP nodes in the global network. MSTP connects all bridges and LAN
segments with a single Common Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). The CIST is formed as a result of the
running spanning tree algorithm between switches that support the STP, RSTP, or MSTP protocols.
The following diagram shows a CST attached to a larger
network. In this network, a Region may have different
instances and its own forwarding path and table, however,
the CST acts as a single bridge.

The switch with highest priority (highest value) is automatically selected as the Ring
Device Priority
Master (RM). When one of the ring ports on this switch becomes a forwarding port and
the other one becomes a blocking port. If all of the switches have the same priority, the
switch with the highest MAC address is selected as the Ring Master.
In a Rapid Super Ring environment, you should have two Ring ports. Whether this
Ring Port1
switch is a Ring Master or not. When configuring Rapid Super Rings, two ports should
be selected to be Ring ports. For a Ring Master, one of the Ring Ports becomes the
forwarding port and the other one becomes the blocking port.

Rapid Dual Homing is an important feature of Rapid Super Ring redundancy technology.
When you want to connect multiple RSR or form redundant topology with other vendors,
RDH allows you to have a maximum of seven multiple links for redundancy without any
Rapid Dual
Homing
problem.
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
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of nodes for the purpose of limiting a broadcast domain to specific
members of a group without physically grouping the members. The VLAN allows you to isolate network traffic
so that only members of the VLAN could receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a
VLAN from a switch is the logical equivalent of physically reconnecting a group of network devices to another
Layer 2 switch, without actually disconnecting these devices from their original switches.
The ES7510 supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, which is also known as Tag-Based VLAN. This Tag-Based VLAN
allows a VLAN to be created across different switches. IEEE 802.1Q tag-based VLAN makes use of VLAN
control information stored in a VLAN header attached to IEEE 802.3 packet frames. This tag contains a
VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates which VLAN a frame belongs to. Since each switch only has to check a
frame’s tag, without the need to dissect the contents of the frame, this saves a lot of computing resources
within the ES7510.
The following figure displays an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
The ES7510 supports VLAN tunneling (QinQ), which expands the number of VLANs by adding a tag to the
802.1Q packets. The original VLAN is usually identified as Customer VLAN (C-VLAN) and the new VLAN is
Service VLAN(S-VLAN). By adding the additional tag, QinQ increases the possible number of VLANs. After
QinQ is enabled, the ES7510 can reach up to 256x256 VLANs. With different standard tags, it also improves
network security.

VLAN Port Configuration
The VLAN Port Configuration page allows you to configure VLAN port parameters on a specific port. These
parameters include the port VLAN ID (PVID), Accept Frame Type and Ingress Filtering
VLAN Port Configuration Page
Enter the port VLAN ID (PVID). The PVID allows the switches to identify which port
belongs to which VLAN. To keep things simple, it is recommended that PVID is
PVID
equivalent to VLAN IDs. The values of PVIDs are from 0 to 4,095 (0 and 4,095 are
reserved), 1 is the default value; 2 to 4,094 are valid and available in this column. Enter
the PVID you want to configure.
None - IEEE 802.1Q tunnel mode is disabled.
802.1Q Tunnel: QinQ is applied to the ports which connect to the C-VLAN. The port
receives a tagged frame from the C-VLAN. You need to add a new tag (Port VID) as an SVLAN VID. When the packets are forwarded to the C-VLAN, the S-VLAN tag is
removed. After 802.1Q Tunnel mode is assigned to a port, the egress setting of the port
should be Untag, it indicates that the egress packet is always untagged. This is
configured in the Static VLAN Configuration table (Page 85
Tunnel Mode
802.1Q Tunnel Uplink: QinQ is applied to the ports which connect to the S-VLAN. The
port receives a tagged frame from the S-VLAN. When the packets are forwarded to the
S-VLAN, the S-VLAN tag is kept. After 802.1Q Tunnel Uplink mode is assigned to a
port, the egress setting of the port should be Ta g, it indicates that the egress packet is
always tagged. This is configured in the Static VLAN Configuration table (Page 85
example, if the VID of S-VLAN/Tunnel Uplink is 10, the VID of C-VLAN/Tunnel is 5.
The 802.1Q Tunnel port receives Tag 5 from C-VLAN and adds Tag 10 to the packet.
When the packets are forwarded to S-VLAN, Tag 10 is kept.
This defines the accepted frame type of the port. There are two modes you can select:
• Admit All mode means that the port can accept both tagged and untagged packets.

Ingress filtering instructs the VLAN engine to filter out undesired traffic on a port.
• When you Enable Ingress Filtering, the port checks whether the incoming frames
belong to the VLAN they claimed or not. The port then determines if the frames can
be processed or not. For example, if a tagged frame from TEST VLAN is received,
Ingress
Filtering
and Ingress Filtering is enabled, the ES7510 determines if the port is on the TEST
VLAN’s Egress list. If it is, the frame can be processed. If it is not, the frame is
dropped.
• When you select Disable, the port accepts all incoming frames regardless of its
VLAN classification. This control does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames,
such as Super Ring, STP, GVRP and LACP. It does affect VLAN dependent BPDU
frames, such as GMRP.

GVRP Configuration
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows you to set-up VLANs automatically rather than manual
configuration on every port on every switch in the network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification.
This defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration data that allows network devices to
dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices.
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that defines procedures by which end stations and
switches in a local area network (LAN) can register and de-register attributes, such as identifiers or
addresses, with each other. Every end station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end
stations and switches that can be reached. GVRP, like GARP, eliminates unnecessary network traffic by
preventing attempts to transmit information to unregistered users. In addition, it is necessary to manually
configure only one switch and all the other switches are configured accordingly.

Private VLAN
A private VLAN helps to resolve the primary VLAN ID shortage, client ports’ isolation and network security
issues. The private VLAN features provides primary and secondary VLANs within a single switch.
Primary VLAN: The uplink port is usually a member of the primary VLAN. A primary VLAN contains
promiscuous ports that can communicate with Secondary VLANs.
Secondary VLAN: The client ports are usually defined within secondary VLAN. The secondary VLAN
includes Isolated and Community VLANs. The client ports can be isolated VLANs or can be grouped in the
same Community VLAN. The ports within the same community VLAN can communicate with each other,
however, the isolated VLAN ports cannot.

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 ES7510 QoS supports four physical queues, weighted fair queuing (WRR) and Strict Priority scheme, that

network.

This is also known as WRR (Weight Round Robin). The ES7510 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.

Use this page to change the CoS values into the Physical Queue mapping table. Since the switch fabric of
ES7510 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 ES7510 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

Multicast Filtering
For multicast filtering, the ES7510 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.

asks for a response from each host that belongs to the multicast
group.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol to exchange
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member
of the
TCP/IP protocol suite. The ES7510 supports SNMP v1 and v2c and v3.
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents
and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides
in a managed switch. An agent translates the local management
information from the managed device into a SNMP compatible format.
The manager is the console through the network.
The following web pages are included in this group:
• SNMP Configuration
• SNMP V3 Profile on Page 101
• SNMP Traps
Optionally, you can use the CLI for configuration, see SNMP (CLI)
Page 169.

Use this page to configure the SNMP v1/v2c Community. The community string can be viewed as the
password because SNMP v1/v2c does not request you to enter a password before you try to access the SNMP
agent.
The community includes two privileges:
• Read Only privilege, you only have the ability to read the values of MIB tables. The default community
string is public.
• Read and Write privilege, you have the ability to read and set the values of MIB tables. The default
community string is private.
The ES7510 allows you to assign four community strings. Type
the community string, select the privilege, and then click Apply.
Note: When you first install the device in your network, we
recommend that you change the community string. Most
SNMP management applications use public and private
as the default community name, this could be a network
security leak.
