Chapter 1 Introduction

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Management Switch. This high performance management switch provides Ethernet ports to segment network traffics, extend Ethernet connection distance, and convert data packets between different transmission speeds.

This switch utilizes stored-and-forward switching architecture that filters and forwards data after the complete data packet is received and examined to be free of errors. With one set of status LEDs for each individual port, the switch operation status can be easily monitored.

All the Fast Ethernet ports support both Full and Half duplex mode which are able to provide up to 200Mbps(2000Mbps for Gigabit Ports) of bandwidth to the connected devices, with

auto-negotiation providing the capability to connect to 100/10Mbps(1000/100/10Mbps for Gigabit ports) network devices. It also supports backpressure and IEEE 802.3x advanced flow control capabilities that can reduce congestion

and prevent packet loss.

And it offers advance features:  SNMP/Web-based Management: Provides a web browser

to manage and monitor the switch.

 Bandwidth Control: Input and output rate control.  VLAN: Port-based and Tag-based VLAN allow you to set

virtual LANs within your network

 Trunking: Reduce the bottleneck between switches  QoS: Two priority queues per port allow you to define

which port has higher priority.

 802.1X: This switch supports port-based authentication

protocol, IEEE 802.1X.

In addition, all the ports support the MDI/MDI-X auto-detect function. That is to say, you can connect any device (including PC, Switch, Hub) to a port of this switch using a regular cable. The RJ-45 port will auto-detect and auto-switch to the correct MDI/MDI-X mode (do not need to use a specific uplink port or cross-over cable).

without permission of address learning. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the address table can be forwarded normally. You can disable the port from learning any new MAC addresses then use the static MAC addresses screen to define a list of MAC addresses that can use the secure port. Enter the settings, then click Apply button to changes on this page.

4.5 Trunking

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. In conclusion, Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE

802.3ad.

4.5.1 Aggregator setting

System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.

1.Group ID: There are seven trunk groups to provided configure. Choose the "group id" and click "Get".

2.LACP: If enable, the group is LACP static trunking group. If

disable, the group is local static trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically.

3. Work ports: Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time. If LACP static trunking group, the exceed ports is standby and able to aggregate if work ports fail. If local static trunking group, the number must be as same as the group member ports. 4 Select the ports to join the trunking group. Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time.

5. If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on State Activity page.

6. Click Apply.

4.5.2 Aggregator Information

When you are setting LACP aggregator, you can see relation information here.

1. This page is no group active. LACP don’t working.

2. This page is Static Trunking group.

4.5.3 State Activity

Active (selected): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive (not selected): The port does not automatically sends LACP protocol packets, and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.

1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking. A link has two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic LACP trunking because both ports are waiting for LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.

2. If you are active LACP actor, when you select trunking port,

the active status will be created automatically.

4.6 Filter Database

4.6.1 IGMP Snooping

This switch supports IP multicast, you can enable IGMP protocol on web management’s switch settings advanced page, then display the IGMP snooping information in this page, you can view difference multicast group ,VID and member port here, IP multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0 through

239.255.255.255.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.

4.6.2 Static MAC Address

When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch or not. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again.

Steps to add Static MAC Address:

1. From the main menu, click administrator->Filter Database

->Static MAC Address.

2. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device’s network activity.

4. In the Port Number box, enter a port number.

5. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.

6. Click add.

4.6.3 MAC Filtering

MAC address filtering allows the switch to drop unwanted

traffic. Traffic is filtered based on the destination addresses.

Steps to specify a MAC address to filter:

1.In the MAC Address box, enter the MAC address that wants to filter.

2. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLAN are set up on the switch, in the VLAN ID box, type the VID to associate with the MAC address.

3. Click the Add.

4. Choose the MAC address that you want to delete and then click the Delete can delete it.
