3.4 VLAN

3.4.1 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

Go to VLAN > IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

IEEE 802.1Q is a protocol for Ethernet frame carrying VLAN tag. The traffic is encapsulated so that a
number of logically separate VLANs can be carried by the same physical LAN.

The VLAN ID associates a frame with specific VLAN and provides the information that switches need to
process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and
contains two bytes for the TPID (Tag protocol Identifier, residing within the type/length filed of the Ethernet
frame) and two bytes for the TCI (Tag Control Information, starting after the source address field of the
Ethernet frame).

The CFI (Canonical Format Indicator) is a single-bit flag, always set to zero for Ethernet switches. If a
frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to
an untagged port. The remaining twelve bits define the VLAN ID are independent of each other. A frame
with VID (VLAN Identifier) of null (0) is called a priority frame, meaning that only the priority level is
significant and the default VID of the ingress priority frames and the value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the
maximum possible number of VLAN configurations is 4094.

Once the VLAN table is configured and maintained in GS-5008PL, frames will be handled by all
operations of VLAN configuration. These operations include the stripping or adding of the IEEE 802.1Q
tag.

3.4.2 Port-Based VLAN

Go to VLAN > Port-Based VLAN

The port-based VLAN feature works as a filter, filtering out traffic destined to non-private domain ports. For each
received frame, the forwarding table (FDB) resolves the DA and obtains a forwarding vector (list of ports to which
the frame will be forwarded).The FDB then applies the VLAN filter to the forwarding vector, effectively masking
out the non-private domain ports. The frame is only forwarded to those ports that meet the FDB criteria, as well
as the port-based VLAN criteria.

DESCRIPTION

LACP Global State

Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable Link Aggregation Control Protocol

Link Aggregation
Algorithm

Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or
to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default,
the Switch uses the MAC SA & DA distribution type.
Select MAC SA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Select MAC DA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC

3.5 Trunking

Go to Trunking > LACP

Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may
want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a
high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.

The Switch supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk
groups.

When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at
the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an

operational port fails, then one of the “standby” ports become operational without user intervention.

Please note that:

 You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for

LACP trunking.

 LACP only works on full-duplex links.
 All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow

control settings.

 Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network

topology loops.

3.6 QoS

GS-5008PL provide Quality of Service (QoS) feature. Two kinds of QoS mechanism are provided for
traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch either of them by Web pages.
When Quality of Service (QoS) feature is enabled, traffic will be forwarded according to predefined setting
of port-based QoS or 802.1p QoS.

If QoS type is set to port-based, the priority is based on the incoming port of the traffic. The current queue
for each port is configured as below.

Go to QoS > Port-Based QoS

If QoS type is set to 802.1p, the priority is based on the incoming PCP field of the traffic. The current
queue for each PCP is configured as below.

3.7 Broadcast Storm Control

GS-5008PL provides a Rate Control feature. When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5008PL
provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to
reduce broadcast packets in your network.

Broadcast Storm Control > Broadcast Storm Control

3.8 Loop Detect/Prevent

GS-5008PL provides a Loop Protection feature for unmanaged environments. Two kinds of mechanism
are available in the GS-5008PL, which are Loop Detection and Loop Prevention. Users can choose to
enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention.

The Loop Discovery frame uses the system mac as source address. When the port receives the discovery
frame and the source mac is the same as system mac, this will be determined as a loop.

When the Loop Detection feature is enabled and activated, the switch generates Broadcom proprietary
tag frames (Loop Discovery Frames) at a programmed interval, and when it detects a loop, it gives a loop
detected warning with a down port LED, and the system LED will be blinking. This feature does not repair
the loop, but only issues a warning.

The GS-5008PL also includes a Loop Prevention feature which can be enabled. When Loop Prevention is
enabled and loop is detected, this feature will disable loop ports and down port LED, and the system LED
will be blinking.

Go to Loop Detect/Prevent > Loop Detection/Prevention

21

3.9 IGMP Snooping

When the IGMP Snooping is enabled, the GS-5008PL will process IGMP control packets for multicast
traffic forwarding. The switch will record information of IGMP v2 packets and maintain database for
multicast traffic. Then multicast traffic will be forwarded according to the database.

When IGMP Snooping feature is enabled, switch will record information of IGMP v3 packets and maintain
database for multicast traffic. Then multicast traffic will be forwarded according to the database. In IGMP
v3, multiple multicast group and source IP information can be recorded in one IGMP v3 packet,
GS-5008PL will record each multicast group address and ignore source IP information.

When the IGMP Snooping feature is enabled and IGMP Static Router Port is set, only this port can be
used as a router port, other ports will be as member ports only. In this case, member ports receive query
packets will drop the query packets.

3.10 POE

The GS-5008PL provides a Power over Ehernet (PoE) manager feature. The IC of the PoE module is
Microsemi PD69104B.

The PoE module manager enables network devices to share power and data over a single cable. The
PoE module is employed by both Ethernet switches and Midspans.

The PoE module is a 4 port,mixed-single,high-voltage PoE Manager and supports Semi Auto mode. The
PoE module executes all real time functions as specified in the IEEE 802.3af-2003 (“AF”) and IEEE

802.3at High Power (“AT”) standards.

The PoE module supports detect legacy/pre-standard PD devices. It also provides PD real-time
protection through the following mechanisms: overload, under-load, over-voltage, over-temperature, and
short-circuit. The PD69104B supports supply voltages between 44V and 57V with no need for additional
power supply sources and has a built-in thermal protection.

„Free Software“, der Autor stellt das Programm ohne irgendeine Gewährleistungen zur Verfügung. Wir bieten Ihnen für

einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren an, eine vollständige maschinenlesbare Kopie des Quelltextes der Programme zur
Verfügung zu stellen – zu nicht höheren Kosten als denen, die durch den physikalischen Kopiervorgang anfallen.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the

software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software

and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to
make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that
you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the
rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty

for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that

what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’

reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of

a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have
made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The ‘“Program’“, below, refers to any such program

or work, and a ‘“work based on the Program’“ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:

that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated

into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term ‘“modification’“.) Each licensee

is addressed as ‘“you’“.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute
a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
on what the Program does.

30

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided

that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program,
and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of

any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the

Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started

running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty)
and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,
your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its
terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless
of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed

under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more

than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This

alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this

31

License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You

may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible

for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it
and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the
section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which

applies to it and ‘“any later version’“, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or

of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different,
write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN

WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ‘“AS

IS’“ WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
