VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN
receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a
converter is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to
another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into
the same switch physically.
The MCR205-1T/1S supports IEEE 802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN setting in web
management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “No VLAN”.
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the MCR205-1T/1S. 802.1Q
VLAN requires tagging, which enables them to span the entire network
(assuming all devices on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-compliant).
VLAN allows a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast
domains. All packets entering a VLAN will only be forwarded to the stations (over
IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are members of that VLAN, and this
includes broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown sources.
VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
will only deliver packets between stations that are members of the VLAN. Any
port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don't
recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLAN to
span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection
and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.

Tag - The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet.
Untag - The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information out of the packet header.
802.1Q VLAN Tags
The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets
inserted after the source MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of
0x8100 in the Ether Type field. When a packet's Ether Type field is equal to
0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag. The tag is contained in
the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priority, 1 bit of Canonical
Format Identifier (CFI - used for encapsulating Token Ring packets so they can
be carried across Ethernet backbones), and 12 bits of VLAN ID (VID). The 3 bits
of user priority are used by 802.1p. The VID is the VLAN identifier and is used by
the 802.1Q standard. Because the VID is 12 bits long, 4094 unique VLAN can be
identified.
The tag is inserted into the packet header making the entire packet longer by 4
octets. All of the information originally contained in the packet is retained.
802.1Q Tag
User Priority CFI VLAN ID (VID)
3 bits 1 bits 12 bits
TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier) TCI (Tag Control Information)
The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but
before the original Ether Type/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the
packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) must be recalculated.

Port VLAN ID
Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be
transmitted from one 802.1Q compliant network device to another with the VLAN
information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span network devices (and
indeed, the entire network – if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).
Every physical port on a switch has a PVID. 802.1Q ports are also assigned a
PVID, for use within the switch. If no VLAN are defined on the switch, all ports
are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID equal to 1. Untagged packets
are assigned the PVID of the port on which they were received. Forwarding
decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. Tagged
packets are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. Tagged
packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet
forwarding decisions.
Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on
the network. The switch will compare the VID of a packet to be transmitted to the
VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If the two VID are different the
switch will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for untagged
packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware and tag-unaware network
devices can coexist on the same network.
A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch
has memory in its VLAN table to store them.
Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be
made at each port on a tag-aware device before packets are transmitted –
should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is
connected to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the
transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the packet should be
tagged.
Default VLANs
The MCR205-1T/1S initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The
factory default setting assigns all ports on the MCR205-1T/1S to the "default". As
new VLAN are configured in Port-based mode, their respective member ports are
removed from the "default."

Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioritization feature that allows
you to establish control over network traffic. QoS enables you to assign various
grades of network service to different types of traffic, such as multi-media, video,
protocol-specific, time critical, and file-backup traffic.
QoS reduces bandwidth limitations, delay, loss, and jitter. It also provides
increased reliability for delivery of data and allows you prioritization of certain
applications across the network. You can define exactly how you want the switch
to treat selected applications and types of traffic.
You can use QoS on your system to control a wide variety of network traffic by:
• classifying traffic based on packet attributes.
• Assigning priorities to traffic (for example, to set higher priorities to timecritical or business-critical applications).
• Applying security policy through traffic filtering.
• Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications such as video
conferencing or voice over IP by minimizing delay and jitter.
• Improve performance for specific types of traffic and preserve performance as
the amount of traffic grows.
• Reduce the need to constantly add bandwidth to the network.
• Manage network congestion.

Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Media
Converter is not functioning properly, make sure the MCR205-1T/1S was set up
according to instructions in this manual.
The Link LED is not lit
Solution:
1. Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the MCR205-1T/1S.
2. Check the port configuration of the link partner; and make sure both devices
on each end are set with the same configurations.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the full duplex status of the devices. If one of the devices are set to full
duplex, and the other to half duplex, transmission performance will be affected
negatively.
10/100Base-T port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular
Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate to full duplex. Some devices
use a physical switch to set the duplex mode, while some use software based
settings. A physically set full duplex setting may prevent Auto negotiation feature
to recognize it.
Why the device doesn’t connect to the network
Solution:
1. Check the LNK/ACT LED on the MCR205-1T/1S.
2. Try another port on the connected device.
3. Make sure the cable is installed properly.
4. Make sure one of the supported type of cables was used. Turn off the power.
After waiting briefly, turn on the power again.
