It is more complex and comprehensive contrast to TP cabling in the fiber media. Basically, there are two categories of fiber, multi mode (MM) and single mode (SM). The later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports. They are SX, LX, LHX, XD, and ZX. From the viewpoint of connector type, there mainly are LC and BIDI LC.

Takes the Delay Time into Account

Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the IEEE

802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.1 series protocol specifications, in which the limitations are the timing requirement from physical signals defined by 802.3 series specification of Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY, and timer from some OSI layer 2 protocols such as 802.1d, 802.1q, LACP and so on.

The fiber, TP cables and devices’ bit-time delay (round trip) are as follows:

1000Base-X TP, Fiber 100Base-TX TP

Round trip Delay: 4096 Round trip Delay: 512

Cat. 5 TP Wire: 11.12/m

Cat. 5 TP Wire: 1.12/m Fiber Cable: 1.0/m

Fiber Cable: 10.10/m TP to fiber Converter: 56 Bit Time unit: 1ns (1sec./1000 Mega bit)

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

Bit Time unit: 0.01µs (1sec./100 Mega bit)

Sum up all elements’ bit-time delay and the overall bit-time delay of wires/devices must be within Round Trip Delay (bit times) in a half-duplex network segment (collision domain). For full-duplex operation, this will not be applied. You may use the TP-Fiber module to extend the TP node distance over fiber optic and provide the long haul connection.

A hierarchical network with minimum levels of switch may reduce the timing delay between server and client station. Basically, with this approach, it will minimize the number of switches in any one path; will lower the possibility of network loop and will improve network efficiency. If more than two switches are connected in the same network, select one switch as Level 1 switch and connect all other switches to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recommended to connect to the Level 1 switch. This is general if no VLAN or other special requirements are applied.

Case 1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access each other.

If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.

Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment, especially in physical location. The following diagram shows how it works and what the difference they are.

Case 2: Port-based VLAN -1

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

The same VLAN members could not be in different switches. Every VLAN members could not access VLAN members each other. The switch manager has to assign different names for each VLAN groups

at one switch.

Case 3: Port-based VLAN - 2

VLAN1 members could not access VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4 members. VLAN2 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could access

VLAN4 members.

VLAN3 members could not access VLAN1, VLAN2 and VLAN4. VLAN4 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could

access VLAN2 members.

Case 4: The same VLAN members can be at different switches with the same VID

We offer you three ways to startup the switch management function. They are RS-232 console, CLI, and Web. Users can use any one of them to monitor and configure the switch. You can touch them through the following procedures.

¾ Configuring the Management Agent of VigorSwitch P2260 through the Serial RS-232

Port

¾ Configuring the Management Agent of VigorSwitch P2260 through the Ethernet Port

Note: Please first modify the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS through RS-232 console, and then do the next.

Configuring the Management Agent of VigorSwitch P2260 through the Serial RS-232 Port

To perform the configuration through RS-232 console port, the switch’s serial port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC, through RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector. Next, run a terminal emulator with the default setting of the switch’s serial port. With this, you can communicate with the switch.

In the switch, RS-232 interface only supports baud rate 57.6k bps with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity check and no flow control.

RS-232

RS-232 cable with female DB-9 connector at both ends

VigorSwitch P2260 Default IP Setting: IP address = DHCP Enabled Subnet Mask = DHCP Enabled Default Gateway = DHCP Enabled

To configure the switch, please follow the procedures below:

1. Find the RS-232 DB-9 cable with female DB-9 connector bundled. Normally, it just

uses pins 2, 3 and 7. See also Appendix B for more details on Null Modem Cable Specifications.

2. Attaches the DB-9 female cable connector to the male serial RS-232 DB-9 connector

on the switch.

3. Attaches the other end of the serial RS-232 DB-9 cable to PC’s serial port, running a

terminal emulator supporting VT100/ANSI terminal with the switch’s serial port default settings. For example, Windows98/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.

Note: The switch’s serial port default settings are listed as follows: Baud rate 57600

4. When you complete the connection, then press <Enter> key. The login prompt will be

shown on the screen. The default username and password are shown as below: Username = admin Password = admin

Additionally, if a user connects VigorSwitch to VigorPro router, he also can access into VigorPro web configuration page to find out External Devices menu item. Then click the new added switch icon to open the web configuration of VigorSwitch.

Set IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP Address

You can first either configure your PC IP address or change IP address of the switch, next to change the IP address of default gateway and subnet mask.

For example, your network address is 10.1.1.0, and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can change the switch’s default IP address 192.168.1.1 to 10.1.1.1 and set the subnet mask to be 255.255.255.0. Then, choose your default gateway, may be it is 10.1.1.254.

Default Value VigorSwitch P2260 Your Network Setting IP Address 192.168.1.1 10.1.1.1

Subnet 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.1.254 10.1.1.254

After completing these settings in the switch, it will reboot to have the configuration taken effect. After this step, you can operate the management through the network, no matter it is from a web browser or Network Management System (NMS).

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

Configuring the Management Agent of VigorSwitch P2260 through the Ethernet Port There are three ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s Ethernet

port. They are CLI, Web browser and SNMP manager. The user interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just introduce the first two types of management interface.

Managing VigorSwitch P2260 through Ethernet Port

Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish the configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then, follow the procedures listed below.

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP

Cat. 5 cable with RJ-45 connector.

Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask may be different for the PC in the remote site.

2. Run CLI or web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 2.

For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS.

IP address:

The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication. Its address structure looks is shown below. It is “classful” because it is split into predefined address classes or categories.

Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and host identifier in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network identifier (address) and host identifier (address). The former indicates the network where the addressed host resides, and the latter indicates the individual host in the network which the address of host refers to. And the host identifier must be unique in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is version 4, known as IPv4.

Network identifier Host identifier

With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A, class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address range described below.

32 bits

Class A:

Address is less than 126.255.255.255. There are a total of 126 networks can be defined because the address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for default route and 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for loopback function.

Class B:

IP address range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255. Each class B network has a 16-bit network prefix followed 16-bit host address. There are 16,384 (2^14)/16 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 65534 (2^16 –2) hosts per network.

Class C:

IP address range between 192.0.0.0 and 223.255.255.255. Each class C network has a 24-bit network prefix followed 8-bit host address. There are 2,097,152 (2^21)/24 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 254 (2^8 –2) hosts per network.

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

Class D and E:

Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast.

According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP address blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal network. We call it Private IP address and list below:

Class A 10.0.0.0 --- 10.255.255.255 Class B 172.16.0.0 --- 172.31.255.255 Class C 192.168.0.0 --- 192.168.255.255

Please refer to RFC 1597 and RFC 1466 for more information.

Subnet mask:

It means the sub-division of a class-based network or a CIDR block. The subnet is used to determine how to split an IP address to the network prefix and the host address in bitwise basis. It is designed to utilize IP address more efficiently and ease to manage IP network.

For a class B network, 128.1.2.3, it may have a subnet mask 255.255.0.0 in default, in which the first two bytes is with all 1s. This means more than 60 thousands of nodes in flat IP address will be at the same network. It’s too large to manage practically. Now if we divide it into smaller network by extending network prefix from 16 bits to, say 24 bits, that’s using its third byte to subnet this class B network. Now it has a subnet mask

255.255.255.0, in which each bit of the first three bytes is 1. It’s now clear that the first two bytes is used to identify the class B network, the third byte is used to identify the subnet within this class B network and, of course, the last byte is the host number.

Not all IP address is available in the sub-netted network. Two special addresses are reserved. They are the addresses with all zero’s and all one’s host number. For example, an IP address 128.1.2.128, what IP address reserved will be looked like? All 0s mean the network itself, and all 1s mean IP broadcast.

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long, 255.255.255.128, contains 126 members in the sub-netted network. Another is that the length of network prefix equals the number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask. With this, you can easily count the number of IP addresses matched. The following table shows the result.

Prefix Length No. of IP matched No. of Addressable IP

/32 1 /31 2 /30 4 2 /29 8 6 /28 16 14 /27 32 30 /26 64 62 /25 128 126 /24 256 254 /23 512 510 /22 1024 1022 /21 2048 2046 /20 4096 4094 /19 8192 8190 /18 16384 16382 /17 32768 32766 /16 65536 65534

According to the scheme above, a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 will partition a network with the class C. It means there will have a maximum of 254 effective nodes existed in this sub-netted network and is considered a physical network in an autonomous network. So it owns a network IP address which may looks like 168.1.2.0.

With the subnet mask, a bigger network can be cut into small pieces of network. If we want to have more than two independent networks in a worknet, a partition to the network must be performed. In this case, subnet mask must be applied.

For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like 255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network.

Default gateway:

For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as default router. Basically, it is a routing policy. The gateway setting is used for Trap Events Host only in the switch.

For assigning an IP address to the switch, you just have to check what the IP address of the network will be connected with the switch. Use the same network address and append your host address to it.

VigorSwitch P2260 User’s Guide

First, IP Address: as shown above, enter “192.168.1.1”, for instance. For sure, an IP address such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC.

Second, Subnet Mask: as shown above, enter “255.255.255.0”. Any subnet mask such as

255.255.255.x is allowable in this case.

DNS:

The Domain Name Server translates human readable machine name to IP address. Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server generally has a static IP address. To connect to a server, the client needs to know the IP of the server. However, user generally uses the name to connect to the server. Thus, the switch DNS client program (such as a browser) will ask the DNS to resolve the IP address of the named server.

This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the switch through the web user interface it supports, to access and manage the 24-Port 10/100Mbps TP and 2-Port Gigabit TP/SFP Fiber management Ethernet switch. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.

The default values of the managed switch are listed in the table below:

After the managed switch has been finished configuration in the CLI via the switch’s serial interface, you can browse it. For example, type http://192.168.1.1 browser, it will show the following screen (see Figure below) and ask you inputting username and password in order to login and access authentication. The default username and password are both “admin”. For the first time to use, please enter the default username and password, then click the <Login> button. The login process now is completed.

Just click the link of “Forget Password” in WebUI or input “Ctrl+Z” in CLI’s login screen in case the user forgets the manager’s password. Then, the system will display a serial No. for the user. Write down this serial No. and contact your vendor, the vendor will give you a temporary password. Use this new password as ID and Password, and it will allow the user to login the system with manager authority temporarily. Due to the limit of this new password, the user only can login the system one time, therefore, please modify your password immediately after you login in the system successfully.

In this login menu, you have to input the complete username and password respectively, the switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This looks inconvenient, but safer.

In the switch, it supports a simple user management function allowing only one administrator to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more users using administrator’s identity, the switch will allow the only one who logins first to configure the system. The rest of users, even with administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. For those who have no administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. There are only a maximum of three users able to login simultaneously in the switch.
