Thank you for using this Managed Switch. It employs store and forward switching mechanism,
and provides low latency and faster data transmission. Moreover, it also supports advanced
functions such as QoS, Q-in-Q VLAN Tunneling, Rate Limiting, IGMP Snooping, and etc.. The
built-in management module allows users to configure this Switch and monitor the operation
status locally or remotely through network. For detailed descriptions on how to configure the
Switch, please refer to Section 2.
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
The Managed Switch supports IPv6. With IPv6, Internet Protocol version 6, can increase the
supply of packets from the IPv4 Internet Protocol version 4. Nowadays, with the development
of Technology, there are more computer users (Laptops, PC, Tablet Personal Computers) and
others such as smart phones, and any other devices with the need of Internet, requires large
amount of packet transmission, therefore leading to more demand for packets. In order to
fulfill this necessity, IPv6 provide the answer, by increase packet numbers enlarging
networking system for worldwide users in good form.

1.2 Management Preparations
The Managed Switch can be accessed through both Telnet connection and a web browser,
such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, etc.. Before you can access the Managed Switch to
configure it, you need to connect cables properly.
1.2.1 Connecting the Managed Switch
It is extremely important that proper cables are used with correct pin arrangements when
connecting Managed Switch to other devices such as switches, hubs, workstations, etc..
1000Base-X Fiber Port or 100/1000 Base-X Fiber Port
The 1000Base-X fiber port is located at the rear panel of the Managed Switch. This
port is primarily used for uplink connection and can operate at 1000M/Full or Half
Duplex mode. Duplex SC or WDM Simplex SC types of connectors are available. Use
proper multimode or single-mode optical fiber cable to connect this port with the other
Ethernet Fiber port.
Before connecting to other switches, workstations or media converters, make sure
both sides of the fiber transfer are with the same media type, for example 1000Base-X
Single-mode to 1000Base-X Single-mode, 1000Base-X Multimode to 1000Base-X
Multimode. Check that the fiber-optic cable type matches the fiber transfer model. To
connect to 1000Base-SX transfer, use the multimode fiber cable (one side must be
male duplex SC connector type). To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use the singlemode fiber cable (one side must be male duplex LC connector type).
10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Ports
The RJ-45 ports are located on the front panel of the Managed Switch. These RJ-45
ports allow users to connect their traditional copper-based Ethernet devices to the
9
network. All these ports support auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX auto-crossover, i.e.
the crossover or straight through CAT-5 cable may be used.
1.2.2 Assigning IP Addresses
IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, for example 168.168.8.100.
IP addresses are made up of two parts:
The first part (168.168.XXX.XXX in the example) indicates network address identifying
the network where the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three
allocation organizations. Depending on your location, each allocation organization
assigns a globally unique network number to each network that wishes to connect to
the Internet.
The second part (XXX.XXX.8.100 in the example) identifies the device within the
network. Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of
the IP addresses allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your
IP addresses were obtained.
Remember that an address can be assigned to only one device on a network. If you connect
to the outside, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you have
been allocated by the allocation organization. If you do not do this, your outside
communications will not be connected.
A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your
network. You must use the proper subnet mask for a proper operation of a network with
subnets defined.

2. Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter guides you to use Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet connection,
specifically in:
Configuring the system
Resetting the system
Upgrading newly released firmware
2.1 Remote Console Management-Telnet
You can use Command Line Interface to manage the Managed Switch via Telnet session.
For first-time users, you must first assign a unique IP address to the Managed Switch before
you can manage it remotely. Use any one of the RJ-45 ports on the front panel as the
temporary management console port to login to the device with the default username &
password and then assign the IP address using IP command in Global Configuration mode.
Follow steps described below to access the Managed Switch through Telnet session:
Step 1.Use any one of the RJ-45 ports on the front panel as a temporary management
console port to login to the Managed Switch.
Step 2.Run Telnet client and connect to 192.168.0.1. For first-time users, make sure
the IP address of your PC or workstation is assigned to an IP address between
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Step 3.When asked for a username, enter “admin”. When asked for a password, leave
the password field blank and press Enter (by default, no password is required.)
Step 4.If you enter CLI successfully, the prompt display Switch> (the model name of
your device together with a greater than sign) will appear on the screen.
Step 5.Once you enter CLI successfully, you can set up the Switch’s IP address,
subnet mask and the default gateway using “IP” command in Global
Configuration mode. The telnet session will be terminated immediately once the
IP address of the Switch has been changed.
Step 6. Use new IP address to login to the Managed Switch via Telnet session again.
Limitation: Only one active Telnet session can access the Managed Switch at a time.

Default Login
After you enter Telnet session, a login prompt will appear to request a valid and authorized
username and password combination. For first-time users, enter the default login username
“admin” and “press Enter key” in password field (no password is required for default setting).
When system prompt shows “Switch>”, it means that the user has successfully entered the
User Mode.
For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you add a new login username and
password using User command in Configuration Mode. When you create your own login
username and password, you can delete the default username (admin) to prevent
unauthorized accesses.
Forgot Your Login Username & Password?
If you forgot your login username and password, you can use the “reset button” to set all
configurations back to factory defaults. Once you have performed system reset to defaults,
you can login with default username and password. Please note that if you use this method to
gain access to the Managed Switch, all configurations saved in Flash will be lost. It is strongly
recommended that a copy of configurations is backed up in your local hard-drive or file server
from time to time so that previously-configured settings can be restored to the Managed
Switch for use after you gain access again to the device.
2.3 User Mode
In User mode, only a limited set of commands are provided. Please note that in Use Mode,
you have no authority to configure advanced settings. You need to enter Privileged mode and
Configuration mode to set up advanced functions of a switch feature. For a list of commands
available in User Mode, enter the question mark (?) or “help” command after the system
prompt displays “Switch>”.

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping
aging-time
[1-6000] /10
sec.
Specify the IGMP querier aging time. If
the switch does not receive join packets
from the end device within the specified
time, the entry associated with this end
device will be removed from the IGMP
table.
No command
Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping
Disable IGMP snooping function.
Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping aging time
Remove IGMP querier aging time setting.
Show command
Switch(config)# show ip igmp snooping
Show current IGMP snooping status
including immediate leave function.
Switch(config)# show ip igmp snooping groups
Show IGMP group table. When IGMP
Snooping is enabled, the Switch is able to
read multicast group IP and the
corresponding MAC address from IGMP
packets that enter the device.
4. Enable or disable IGMP snooping globally.
IGMP, Internet Group Management Protocol, is a communications protocol used to manage
the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent
multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships. It can be used for online
streaming video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources when supporting
these uses.
IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the
name, is a feature that allows the switch to “listen in” on the IGMP conversation between
hosts and routers by processing the layer 3 packets IGMP packets sent in a multicast
network.
When IGMP snooping is enabled in a switch, it analyses all the IGMP packets between hosts
connected to the switch and multicast routers in the network. When a switch hears an IGMP
report from a host for a given multicast group, the switch adds the host’s port number to the
multicast list for that group. And, when the switch hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the host’s
port from the table entry.
IGMP snooping can effectively reduce multicast traffic from streaming and other bandwidth
intensive IP applications. A switch using IGMP snooping will only forward multicast traffic to
the hosts interested in that traffic. This reduction of multicast traffic reduces the packet
processing at the switch (at the cost of needing additional memory to handle the multicast
tables), and also the workload at the end hosts since their network cards (or operating system)
will not have to receive and filter all the multicast traffic generated in the network.

Command / Example
Description
Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping immediateleave
Enable IGMP immediate leave function.
No command
Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping
immediate-leave
Disable IGMP immediate leave function.
Show command
Switch(config)# show ip igmp snooping
Show current IGMP snooping status
including immediate leave function.
Switch(config)# show ip igmp snooping groups
Show IGMP group table.
5. Enable or disable IGMP snooping immediate-leave function.
This works only when IGMP Snooping is enabled. When Immediate Leave is enabled, the
Switch immediately removes the port when it detects IGMPv1 & IGMPv2 leave message on
that port.
2.5.6 IPv6 Command
Brief Introduction to IPv6 Addressing
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and number about 3.4×1038. IPv6 addresses are written in
eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons, such as
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
IPv6 unicast addresses other than those that start with binary 000 are logically divided into
two parts: a 64-bit network prefix and a 64-bit interface identifier.
Stateless Autoconfiguration
IPv6 lets any host generate its own IP address and check if it's unique in the scope where it
will be used. IPv6 addresses consist of two parts. The leftmost 64 bits are the subnet prefix to
which the host is connected, and the rightmost 64 bits are the identifier of the host's interface
on the subnet. This means that the identifier need only be unique on the subnet to which the
host is connected, which makes it much easier for the host to check for uniqueness on its
own.
Link local address
The first step a host takes on startup or initialization is to form a link-local address from its
MAC address and the link-local prefix FE80::/10. This is done by putting the prefix into the
leftmost bits and the MAC address (in EUI-64 format) into the rightmost bits, and if there are
any bits left in between, those are set to zero.
25
IPv6 command
Parameter
Description
Switch(config)# ipv6
address autoconfig
Configuration of IPv6 addresses
using stateless autoconfiguration.
Switch(config)# ipv6
address dhcp auto

address autoconfig
Disable IPv6 stateless autoconfig.
Switch(config)# no ipv6
address dhcp
Disable DHCPv6 function.
Switch(config)# no ipv6
address dhcp rapid-
Disable rapid-commit feature.
Global address
This is done in the same fashion as the link-local address, but instead of the link-local prefix
FE80:: it will use the prefix supplied by the router and put it together with its identifier (which
by default is the MAC address in EUI-64 format).
Some IPv6 addresses are reserved for special purposes, such as loopback, 6to4 tunneling,
and Teredo tunneling, as outlined in RFC 5156. Also, some address ranges are considered
special, such as link-local addresses for use on the local link only, Unique Local addresses
(ULA), as described in RFC 4193, and solicited-node multicast addresses used in the
Neighbor Discovery Protocol.
DHCPv6
IPv6 hosts may automatically generate IP addresses internally using stateless address
autoconfiguration, or they may be assigned configuration data with DHCPv6.
Set up the IPv6 address of the Managed Switch or configure the Managed Switch to get
an IP address automatically from DHCPv6 server.

LLDP stands for Link Layer Discovery Protocol and runs over data link layer. It is used for
network devices to send information about themselves to other directly connected devices on
the network. By using LLDP, two devices running different network layer protocols can learn
information about each other. A set of attributes are used to discover neighbor devices. These
attributes contains type, length, and value descriptions and are referred to TLVs. Details such
as port description, system name, system description, system capabilities, and management
address can be sent and received on this Managed Switch. Use Spacebar to select “ON” if
you want to receive and send the TLV.

This method allows a DHCP server to
differentiate between the two kinds of
client machines and process the
requests from the two types of modems
appropriately.
This command enables DHCP option60.

Cyclical Redundancy Check
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical
scheme rather than the physical layout. VLAN can be used to combine any collections of LAN
segments into a group that appears as a single LAN. VLAN also logically segments the
network into different broadcast domains. All broadcast, multicast, and unknown packets
entering the Switch on a particular VLAN will only be forwarded to the stations or ports that
are members of that VLAN.
VLAN can enhance performance by conserving bandwidth and improve security by limiting
traffic to specific domains. A VLAN is a collection of end nodes grouped by logics instead of
physical locations. End nodes that frequently communicate with each other are assigned to
the same VLAN, no matter where they are physically located on the network. Another benefit
of VLAN is that you can change the network topology without physically moving stations or
changing cable connections. Stations can be ‘moved’ to another VLAN and thus
communicate with its members and share its resources, simply by changing the port VLAN
settings from one VLAN to another. This allows VLAN to accommodate network moves,
changes and additions with the greatest flexibility.
The Managed Switch supports two types of VLAN, these are: IEEE 802.1q Tag VLAN and Q
in Q VLAN.

3.4.6.1.3 DHCP-Option60-Based VLAN
This is an option existing to identify the vendor and functionality of a DHCP client. One
method that a DHCP client can utilize to communicate to the server that it is using a certain
type of hardware or firmware is to set a value in its DHCP requests called the Vendor Class
Identifier (VCI) (Option 60).
This method allows a DHCP server to differentiate between the two kinds of client machines
and process the requests from the two types of modems appropriately.
To enable DHCP option60, following steps are required:
1. Create a new VLAN entity. (Refer to section 3.4.6.1.1)
2. Set the ports sending tagged packets as trunk mode. (Refer to section 3.4.6.1.2)
74
Click the option Configure Default Port VLAN ID from the IEEE 802.1q Tag VLAN menu
and then the following screen page appears.

box to enable it or vice versa.
Enable: Check enable box to activate mapping function.
Vendor-ID: The information is a variable-length string of characters which has a meaning
specified by the vendor of the DHCP client.
VID: The value this option is set to gives the DHCP server a hint about any required extra
information that this client needs in a DHCP response.
Click “Clean” to delete information of a port.

3.4.8 IGMP Snooping
IGMP, Internet Group Management Protocol, is a communications protocol used to manage
the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent
multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships. It can be used for online
streaming video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources when supporting
these uses.
IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the
name, is a feature that allows the switch to “listen in” on the IGMP conversation between
hosts and routers by processing the layer 3 packets IGMP packets sent in a multicast
network.
When IGMP snooping is enabled in a switch it analyses all the IGMP packets between hosts
connected to the switch and multicast routers in the network. When a switch hears an IGMP
report from a host for a given multicast group, the switch adds the host’s port number to the
multicast list for that group. And, when the switch hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the host’s
port from the table entry.
IGMP snooping can very effectively reduce multicast traffic from streaming and other
bandwidth intensive IP applications. A switch using IGMP snooping will only forward multicast
traffic to the hosts interested in that traffic. This reduction of multicast traffic reduces the
packet processing at the switch (at the cost of needing additional memory to handle the
multicast tables) and also reduces the workload at the end hosts since their network cards (or
operating system) will not have to receive and filter all the multicast traffic generated in the
network.
77
Click the option IGMP Snooping from the Switch Management menu and then the following
screen page appears.
IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable IGMP Snooping.
Aging Time: Specify the IGMP querier aging time. If the switch does not receive join packets
from the end device within the specified time, the entry associated with this end device will be
removed from the IGMP table.
Immediate Leave: Enable or disable Immediate Leave function. This works only when IGMP
Snooping is enabled. When Fast Leave is enabled, the Managed Switch immediately
removes the port when it detects IGMPv1 & IGMPv2 leave message on that port.
Click the “OK” button to apply the settings.
3.4.9 LLDP Configuration
LLDP stands for Link Layer Discovery Protocol and runs over data link layer which is used for
network devices to send information about themselves to other directly connected devices on
the network. By using LLDP, two devices running different network layer protocols can learn
information about each other. A set of attributes are used to discover neighbor devices. These
attributes contains type, length, and value descriptions and are referred to TLVs. Details such
as port description, system name, system description, system capabilities, management
address can be sent and received on this Managed Switch. Use Spacebar to select “ON” if
you want to receive and send the TLV.
Select the option LLDP Configuration from the Switch Management menu and then the
following screen page appears.
78
