† The ES7528 provides redundant or aggregated power inputs, depending on the
voltage of the power input. If there are more than two power inputs connected with
different voltages, the ES7528 is powered from the highest connected voltage
(redundant power). If the voltages of power inputs are the same, the total power
output is aggregated.
For example, to reach 700W, you can aggregate the power inputs accordingly:
• AC = 300W and DC1/2=400W
• DC1 = 350W and DC2/ = 350W
• PWR1 and PWR2 support power redundancy and reverse polarity protection.
• Accepts a positive or negative power source but PWR1 and PWR2 must apply to the same mode.
• If both power inputs are connected, the ES7528 is powered from the highest connected voltage.
• The ES7528 can emit an alarm if PWR1 or PWR2 are no longer receiving power. See the Warning
discussion on Page 123
to configure an alarm.
3. Connect a ground wire between the chassis and earth ground using 12-24AWG wire to ensure that the
ES7528 is not damaged by noise or electrical shock.
a. Loosen the earth ground screw on the back of the ES7528.
b. Insert the ground wire.
c. Tighten the ground screw after the earth ground wire is connected.

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.

Hardware Installation
The SFP cage is 2 x1 design.
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 or higher cable
• 100BASE-TX: Category 5 or higher cable
• 1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or higher cable
• IEEE 802.3af: Category 5 cable
• IEEE 802.3at:Category 5e / 6 cable
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 25-28)
The ES7528 equips four Gigabit SFP ports
combined with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports
(Ports 25-28). The SFP ports accept standard
mini GBIC SFP transceivers that support
1000BASE-X (1000BASE-SX/LX/LHX/XD/ZX).
To ensure system reliability, Comtrol
recommends using Comtrol certified SFP
Transceivers.
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP fiber
transceiver.
2. Connect the transmit channel to the receive
channel at each end.
3. Check the direction/angle of the fiber transceiver and the fiber cable.
Note: This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED Beam.
The SFP port does not function until the fiber cable is linked to another active device. The SFP and
corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module has
priority thus no traffic is sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45
connection, remove the corresponding SFP.
Multi-Mode cables should not exceed 2KM and Single-Mode cables should not exceed 30km.

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 ES7528.
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 ES7528 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

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.

NTP client: Click Time Setting Source if you want the NTP client to permit the ES7528 to
enable the NTP client service. NTP client is automatically enabled if you change the
Time Setting Source to NTP Client. The system sends a request packet to acquire
current time from the NTP server you assign.
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 ES7528 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 Start and
End times. During Daylight Saving Time, the ES7528 time is one hour earlier than the
actual time.

Jumbo Frame
The typical Ethernet frame range is from 64 to 1,518 bytes. This is
sufficient for general usages. However, when users want to transmit large
files, the files may be divided into many small size packets. When the
transmission speed becomes slow, long size Jumbo frame may solve the
issue.
The ES7528 allows you configure the size of the Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU). The default value is 1,518 bytes. You can increase the MTU
size to support jumbo frames on all interfaces by setting the Jumbo Frame
MTU. The maximum Jumbo Frame size is 9,216 bytes. You can freely
change the available packet size.

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 72 and Aggregation Status on Page 73.
Aggregation Setting

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.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet is one of the key features of the ES7528. The ES7528 is IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
compliant. The ES7528 supports up to 24 PoE injectors ports, each port with the ability to deliver 606 mA
current.
The following pages are included in this section:
• PoE Control
• PoE Scheduling on Page 77
• PoE Status
PoE Control
In WiMax systems, wireless applications, and high-end PoE applications, there are various types of powered
devices (PDs). To be compatible with different PDs, the ES7528 is designed with four powering modes,
including:
• IEEE 802.3af mode
• IEEE 802.3at 2-event 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 ES7528 can perform more intelligently by dynamically reallocating power to the PDs. The
ES7528 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 ES7528 also provides PD Status Detection. This provides automatic detection of a remote device powered
by the ES7528. If the remote system crashes or is unstable, the ES7528 performs a system reboot by turning
off and on again to trigger the remote device.

Network Redundancy
It is critical for industrial applications that the network remains running at all times. The ES7528 supports:
• Standard Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The ES7528 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 ES7528 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 global
STP/RSTP bridge configuration. Spanning Tree Protocol (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 802.1D-2004,
incorporates the IEEE 802.1t-2001 and IEEE 802.1w standards.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP; 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 a loop-free topology with load balancing while
reducing 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.

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 ES7528 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.

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 ES7528 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 ES7528.
The following figure displays an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
The ES7528 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 ES7528 can reach up to 256x256 VLANs. With different standard tags, it also improves
network security.
VLAN Configuration pages allow you to add and remove a VLAN, configure port Ingress/Egress parameters,
and view the VLAN table. The following pages are included in this group:

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), Tunnel Mode, 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 95
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 Tag, it indicates that the egress packet is always
tagged. This is configured in the Static VLAN Configuration table (Page 95
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.
EtherType
This allows you to define the EtherType manually. This is an advanced QinQ parameter
that allows you to define the transmission packet type.
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.
When you select Admit All, untagged frames or Priority-Tagged only frames received
Accept Frame

on this port are accepted and assigned to the PVID for this frame. This control does
not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames, such as Super Ring, STP, GVRP and

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 ES7528 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.

classification. This control does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames, such as

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows you to set-up VLANs automatically rather than manual

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.

VLAN Table
This table displays the current settings of your VLAN table, including VLAN ID, Name, Status, and Egress
rule of the ports.
VLAN Table Page
VLAN ID The ID of the VLAN.
Name The name of the VLAN.
Static means that this is a manually configured static VLAN.
Unused means this VLAN is created by web user interface/CLI and has no
member ports and the VLAN is not workable yet.
Dynamic means this VLAN was learnt by GVRP.
• -- No VLAN setting.
Status
• T A Trunk Link is a LAN segment used for multiplexing VLANs
between VLAN bridges. All the devices that connect to a Trunk Link
must be IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-aware, which sends and receives frames
with IEEE 802.1Q tags.
• U An Access Link is a LAN segment used to multiplex one or more IEEE
802.1Q VLAN-unaware devices into a Port of a VLAN Bridge. Devices
that are connected to an Access Link sends and receives frames without
IEEE 802.1Q tagging, which is the identification of the VLAN it belongs
to.
After creating the VLAN, the status of this VLAN remains in Unused status until you add ports to the VLAN.

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.
This figure shows a typical private VLAN network. A SCADA/Public Server or NMS workstation is usually
located in a primary VLAN. Client PCs and rings are usually located within the secondary VLAN.
The following web pages are in this group:
• PVLAN Configuration
• PVLAN Port Configuration
• PVLAN Information
Optionally, you can use the CLI for configuration, see Private VLAN (CLI)
on Page 100
on Page 101
on Page 102
on Page 178.
PVLAN Configuration
PVLAN Configuration allows you to assign a private VLAN type. Choose the
private VLAN types for each VLAN you want configure.
Note: You must have previously configured a VLAN in the VLAN Configuration
screen. Refer to VLAN Configuration
on Page 95 for information.
Private VLAN Configuration Page
• Primary VLAN - The uplink port is usually the primary
VLAN. Ports within a primary VLAN can communicate with
ports in a secondary VLAN
• Secondary VLAN - The client ports are usually defined within
VLAN ID
secondary VLAN. The secondary VLAN includes Isolated
VLAN 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.
