Before start using the switch, the IP address setting of the switch should be done, then perform the following steps:

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

5e 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. Please refer to the above figure about the Web Smart Switch default IP address information.

2. After configuring correct IP address on your PC, open your web browser and access

switch's IP address.

Default system account is "admin", with password "admin" in default. Switch IP address is "192.168.1.224" by default with DHCP client enabled.

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 s p lit 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 ide n tifier (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

32 bits

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.

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 cl ass 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 G1280 User’s Guide

Page 18

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 I P 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 it s 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, a nd

all 1s mean IP broadcast.

VigorSwitch G1280 User’s Guide

Page 19

In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long, 255.255.255.1 28, contain s 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.

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.

 First, IP Address: as shown above, enter “192.168.1.224”, for instance. For sure, an

IP address such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC.

Use the IP Address screen to configure the switch IP address and the default gateway device. The gateway field specifies the IP address of the gateway (next hop) for outgoing traffic.

The switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.224. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Info

If VigorSwitch has connected to Vigor router, it will use the IP address obtained from the DHCP server on Vigor router. Thus, the user must type the assigned IP as URL for accessing into the web user interface of VigorSwitch. If not, 192.168.1.224 shall be the default IP.

Port Setting is used to configure settings for the switch ports, trunk, Layer 2 protocols and other switch features.

Available settings are explained as follows:

Item Description Ports Use the drop down list to selelct one or more LAN port(s). Enable State Enable –Click it to enable the port.

Disable – Click it to disable the port.

Speed Port speed capabilities:

 Auto: Auto speed with all capabilities.  Auto-10M: Auto speed with 10M ability only.  Auto-100M: Auto speed with 100M ability only.  Auto-1000M: Auto speed with 1000M ability only.  Auto-10/100M: Auto speed with 10/100M ability.  10M: Force speed with 10M ability.  100M: Force speed with 100M ability.  1000M: Force speed with 1000M ability.

Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support. When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.

VigorSwitch G1280 User’s Guide

Page 30

For SFP fiber module, you might need to manually configure the speed to match fiber module speed.

Duplex Port duplex capabilities:

 Auto: Auto duplex with all capabilities.  Half: Auto speed with 10/100M ability only.  Full: Auto speed with 10/100/1000M ability only.

Flow Control A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth

and overflows buffer memory causing packet discards and frame losses. Flow Control is used to regulate transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of the receiving port. The switch uses IEEE802.3x flow control in full duplex mode and backpressure flow control in half duplex mode. IEEE802.3x flow control is used in full duplex mode to send a pause signal to the sending port, causing it to temporarily stop sending signals when the receiving port memory buffers fill. Back Pressure flow control is typically used in half duplex mode to send a "collision" signal to the sending port (mimicking a state of packet collision) causing the sending port to temporarily stop sending signals and resend later.

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network.

Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) are frames that contain information about the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Switches send BPDUs using a unique MAC address from its origin port and a multicast address as destination MAC (01:80:C2:00:00:00, or 01:00:0C:CC:C C:CD for Per VLAN Spanning Tree).

For STP algorithms to function, the switches need to share inf ormation about t hemsel ves an d their connections. What they share are bridge protocol data units (BPDUs).

BPDUs are sent out as multicast frames to which only other layer 2 switches or bridges are listening. If any loops (multiple possible paths between switches) are found in the network topology, the switches will co-operate to disable a port or ports to ensure that there are no loops; that is, from one device to any other device in the layer 2 network, only one path can be taken.

This page allows a user to configure and display STP property configuration.

Available settings are explained as follows:

through that port. It is recommended to assign this value

according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the media,

the higher the cost. Entering 0 means the switch will

automatically assign a value.

Edge Port In the edge mode, the interface would be put into the

Forwarding state immediately upon link up. If the edge mode

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an "Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks". Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks and more.

SNMP is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.

SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.

An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:

 Managed device  Agent - software which runs on managed devices  Network management station (NMS) - software which runs on the manager

A managed device is a network node that implements an SNMP interface that allows unidirectional (read-only) or bidirectional (read and write) access to node-specific information. Managed devices exchange node-specific information with the NMSs. Sometime s called network elements, the managed devices can be any type of device, including, but not limited to, routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, IP telephones, IP v ideo cameras, computer hosts, and printers.

An agent is a network-management software module that resides on a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that in formation to or from an SNMP-specific form.

A network management station (NMS) executes applications that monitor and control managed devices. NMSs provide the bulk of the processing and memory resources required for network management. One or more NMSs may exist on any managed network.
