2.1 General Description

The device is a 24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Web Smart Switch.

Compare to the traditional 10/100Mbps Ethernet, the switch delivers a dedicated Gigabit connection to
every attached client with no congestion issue. The gigabit ports also provide the fat pipe to the server
or backbone connectivity for boosting the total system performance. Moreover, the NWay auto-nego­tiation operation automatically negotiates with the connected partners on the network speed and duplex
mode; that provides an easy way to integrate 10/100/1000Mbps networks with no pain. It is ideal for
micro-segmenting large networks into smaller , connected subnets for improved performance, enabling
the bandwidth demanding multimedia and imaging applications.

Out of the ordinary dumb switches, the 24-port Gigabit Web Smart Switch embedded advanced man­agement capability; that the device can be managed through console port or web-based UI. This is
much useful for system manager to monitor and control the system efficiently .

Store-and-forward switching mode promises the low latency plus eliminates all the network errors,
including runt and CRC error packets. T o work under full-duplex mode, transmission and reception of
the frames can occur simultaneously without causing collisions as well as double the network band­width.

The switch is plug-n-play without any software to configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of
network protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel provide the operating status
of individual port and whole system.

Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.

Before installing the switch, you must ensure:

1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily

2. Cabling is away from:

• Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers

• Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

3. Keep water or moisture off

4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat radiation
(company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance)

T o prolong the operational life of your units:

1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding

2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack

3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case

3.2 Rack-mount Installation

The switch may stand alone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting
produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is
supplied with rack mounting brackets and screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.

Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:

1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.

2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing toward you.

3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.

4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.

5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided).

correct type of cables.

Switch-to-Switch Connections

In making a switch-to-switch connection, use every ports to connect another switch or backbone is
strongly recommended. The Gigabit ports provide the fat pipe to the server or backbone connectivity
for boosting the total system performance. Reference to the wiring statement of the previous section;
connect each station to the switch with correct type of cables.

Furthermore, as the switch supports Port Aggregation (Port Trunk) capability and up to 8 groups, it is
also great to build up switch-to-switch connectivity .

3.4 Network Application

-11-

4. Functional Description

4.1 PHY Monitoring and Port Mode Set-up

It is a major task of the software to continuously monitor the PHYs in order to set up the switch ports
according to whether the link is down or up and in the latter case what the current speed, duplex mode
and pause capabilities are.

PHYs are being polled every 100 ms.

4.2 Flow Control

In the 24-port switch flow control (back pressure) is also supported in half duplex. Flow control can be
enabled or disabled on a per-port basis from the command line interface.

If flow control is enabled for a port the associated PHY will be set to advertise support of Symmetric

Pause, but not Asymmetric Pause. If the station connected to the port also supports Symmetric
Pause, flow control will be enabled on the switch port.

4.3 Ageing

T o prevent that an automatically learned MAC address of a station that has been detached will remain
in the MAC address table permanently , the ageing function in the switch is activated on a regular basis.
The period for doing the ageing function is determined by the ageing time parameter . The ageing time
parameter can be set from the command line interface. Default value is 300 seconds. Setting the
ageing time parameter to 0 disables the ageing function.

4.4 VLAN

The device supports 802.1Q tag based VLAN. With tagging to the header of packets, the network can
be segmented in groups to reduce the collisions from widely broadcasting. A maximum of 24 VLAN
groups can be stored in EEPROM. The VLAN look up is based on full 24-bit vlaue of packet VID or
Port PVID. It also provides egress tagging mode setting for each port.

4.5 Link Aggregation

Link aggregation groups (or channels) can be defined statically. LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol) is not supported.

Maximum number of aggregation groups is 8.

The software will automatically detect that a link has gone down and then reassign packet distribution
on the other links in the group.

4.6 Quality of Service

Various classifications and prioritization such as TOS, Egress rate control, Ingress rate control and
Storm are supported in order to enable Quality of Service for real time applications such as VoIP
(Voice over IP).

7.5 Entering Commands

Commands are given by entering the command string. The command string is not case-sensitive.

There are three possible situations for entering the command:

1. At any level or group: you should enter the full syntax of the command with a / in front of the

syntax (ex, enter /system configuration in any level to check the system status.)

2. At top level or under the group that contains the command: enter the full command syntax (ex,

enter system configuration at top level or at prompt System>)

3. Under the group that contains the command: Users are allowed to enter the command skipping

the group name (ex, enter configuration under the prompt System>)

Some of the commands have optional parameters (parenthesized after a syntax). If the optional param­eter is omitted, a default value may be used or the command may display the current setting (i.e.
functions as a getting a command).

Example 1, omitted parameter interpreted as display command:

Syntax:
Systemname [<systemname>]
System>systemname <enter>
systemname: giga-switch

Example 2, omitted parameter interpreted as default value (VLAN ID 1):

Syntax:
MAC Add <macaddress> <portlist> [<vid>]
>mac add 010203ABCDEF 16 <enter>

You may use the horizontal arrow-keys <- and -> to move the cursor within the command you are
entering. And you can also use the backspace key (provided by a terminal that sends the BS (8)
character when the backspace key is pressed) to delete characters from the command you are enter­ing.

If your terminal software (e.g. HyperT erminal) supports <home> and <end> keys, you may use these
keys to move the cursor to respectively the start and the end of the command line.

7.6 Terminology

The following table shows general parameter types used in command syntaxes and descriptions.

<port> The port number
<portlist> Comma and/or dash separated port list. This type can be used for specifying

individual ports or a range of ports. The keyword none can be used to specify an
empty port list. The keyword all can be used to specify all ports. Example: 1,3,8-

12.

<macaddress> MAC Address; format: hh-hh-hh-hh-hh-hh, hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh or

hhhhhhhhhhhh. The hh is Hexadecimal number in the range 0x00 to 0xFF.
Example: 00-00-24-F1-02-03

<vid> VLAN ID: Decimal number in the range 1-4095. The keyword all can be used

to specify all VLAN IDs.

<vidlist> Comma and/or dash separated VLAN ID list. This type can be used for specify-

ing individual VLAN IDs or a range of VLAN IDs. The keyword none can be

used to specify an empty VLAN ID list. Example: 1,2,4-6
<UDP/TCP port> UDP/TCP port number: Decimal number in the range 0-65535.
<rate> Leaky bucket rate in Kbit/s [0-1000000k] or Mbit/s [0-1000m]

The <portlist> type is helpful when setting up multiple ports in the same mode. For example, the
following commands divide the ports into two untagged VLANs and enable VLAN awareness:

vlan add 1 1-8
vlan add 2 9-16
vlan pvid 1-8 1
vlan pvid 9-16 2
vlan aware all enable

7.8 Example

This example shows how to configure two VLANs with the following setup:

• VID 1 spans ports 2-16 and VID 2 spans ports 1-3, so port 2 and 3 are members of both VLANs

and all 16 ports must be VLAN Egress Tagging enabled.

• Port 1 is the access port for VID 2, so PVID of port 1 must be set to 2.

• Port 2 is the trunk port for VID 1 and VID 2, so the PVID of port 2 must be set to none and

port 2 must be set to accept tagged frames only

• Port 3 is the hybrid port for VID 1 and VID 2, where VID 1 is the untagged VLAN, so PVID

must be set to 1.

• Ports 4-16 are access ports for VID 1.

The following CLI session does the above setup provided that the initial configuration is the default
configuration:

>vlan
VLAN>add 1 2-16
*** Warning: Existing entry overwritten
VLAN>add 2 1-3
VLAN>egresstagging enable
VLAN>pvid 1 2
VLAN>pvid 2 none
VLAN>frame type 2 tagged
VLAN>conf
