Ethernet Switching Technology
Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network,
eliminated congestion problems inherent with CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense multiple
access with Collision Detection) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary
transmissions.
This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions
over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth. Second, by
reducing the collision domain to a single switch-port, which eliminated the need for
carrier sensing. Third, by using the store-and-forward technology’s approach of
inspecting each packet to intercept corrupt or redundant data, switching eliminated
unnecessary transmission that slow the network. By employing address learning,
which replaced the inefficient receiving port.
Auto-negotiation regulates the speed and duplex of each port, based on the capability
of both devices. Flow-control allows transmission from a 100Mbps node to a 10Mbps
node without loss of data. Auto-negotiation and flow-control may require disablement
for some networking operations involves legacy equipment. Disabling the
auto-negotiation is accomplished by fixing the speed or duplex of a port.
Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower than other
solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reductio n in traffic is why switching
is replacing expensive routers and inefficient hubs as the ultimate networking solution.
Switching brought a whole new way of thinking to networking.

Desktop Installation
Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat spa ce w ith a p ower o utlet nearby. The surface
where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy. Make sure there
is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and
allow air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.
B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
C. Apply the Rubber Feet to ea ch corner on the b ottom of the Switch. These footpads
can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Rack-mounted Installation
The LevelOne GSW-2491TXM come with a rack-mounted kid and can be mounted in
an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with
other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it
with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other
side of the Switch.
Figure 2-4. Attach mounting brackets with screws
B. After attached both mounting brackets, position the LevelOne GSW-2491TXM
the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the
rack. Secure the Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting
screws.

front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for
enclosed rack installation.
Power On
Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the Switch. The other
side of power cord connects to the power outlet. The internal power supply of the
Switch works with voltage range of AC in the 100-240VAC, frequency 5 0~60Hz. Check
the power indicator on the front panel to see if power is properly supplied.

3. Network Application
This section provides you a few samples of network topology in which the Switch is
used. In general, the LevelOne GSW-2491TXM is designed as a segment switch. That
is, with its large address table (8000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for
interconnecting networking segments.
PC, workstations, and servers can communicate each other by directly connecting with
LevelOne GSW-2491TXM. The switch automatically learns nodes address, which are
subsequently used to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address.
By using Uplink port, the Switch can connect with another switch or hu b to inte rconnect
other small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. Meanwhile, you
can also use fiber ports to connect switches.
Small Workgroup
The LevelOne GSW-2491TXM can be used as a standalone switch to which personal
computers, server, printer server, are directly connect to form small workgroup.
11
Page 18
Figure 3-1. Small Workgroup Application
Segment Bridge
For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this
switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone.
In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local server
attached, are both connect to the Switch. All the devices in this network can
communicate with each other through the Switch. Connecting servers to the Switch
allow other users to access the data on server.
Figure 3-2 Department Bridge Application

Stacking Workgroup
With stackable technology can unites up to eight individual stackable switches into a
single logical unit, using cables and with stacking software supported. The stack
behaves as a single switching unit that is managed by a master switch elected from
one of the member switches. The master switch automatically creates and updates all
the switching tables. A working stack can accept new members or delete old ones
without service interruption
Each switch in the stack has the capability to behave as a master o r subord inate in the
hierarchy. The master switch is elected and serves as the control center for the stack.
The subordinates act as forwarding processors. Each switch is assigned to a one
workgroup ID. Up to eight separate switches can be joined together as a workgroup.
The stack can have switches added and removed w ithout a ffect ing stack performance.
There are no special tools, extra software, or expensive equipment needed to form a
Stacking workgroup. It provides single image management for entire Stack (fewer
devices to manage); management applications represent the Stack as a single device,
and simple point and click management. Stackable technology allows you to increase
the resiliency and the versatility of your network edge to accommodate evolution for
speed and converged applications. Following figures are example of stacking
workgroup application.

About Web-based Management
Inside the CPU board of the switch exists an embedded HTML web site residing in
flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow user s to manage the
switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is based on Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access
speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets.
Note:
The user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use
network ports.
Preparing for Web Management
Before to use web management, you can use console to login the Switch checking the

IGMP Theory of Operation
The following three topologies detail how IGMP Query works and to be configured
within a network:
1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when
the router’s IP address is smaller than
other switches in the subnet.
70
Page 77
2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the
router’s IP address is not smaller than
other switches in the subnet. This
Router supports IGMP protocol, but
IGMP has to be enabled, and the
Router has to be the Querier.
3. The following topology must
be set when the IP address of
the switch is not the smallest in
the subnet. The network will
cause a multi-cast storm from th e
IGMP client report if it is in Auto
mode. All switches must be in
disable mode when the VOD
server is configured for IGMP
Querier.
It is suggested that the VOD server switch have the smallest IP address.

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. Link
aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated

IGMP Snooping
The switch support IP multicast, you can enable IGMP protocol on web management’s
switch setting advanced page, then display the IGMP snoopin g information in this page,
you can view difference multicast group VID and member port in 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. IGMP have three
fundamental types of message as follows:
Message Description
Query
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a
response from each host belonging to the multicast group.

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. This saves the
switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or

VLAN configuration
MAC Filtering interface
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 switch is logically
equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plug into the same switch physically.
The switch supports port-based, 802.1Q (tagged-based) and protocol-base VLAN in
web management page. In the default configuration, VLAN support is “disable”.
80
Page 87
VLAN Configuration interface
Port-based VLAN
Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected
ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled,
the VLAN-tagging is ignored.
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it itself has to be either
capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware
bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID
based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as
the protocol.

802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is
possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag ” into the Ethernet frame s. Tag contains a VLAN
Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are
256 VLAN groups to provide configure. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, the all ports on the
switch belong to default VLAN, VID is 1. The default VLAN can’t be deleting.
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes. If the
switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled, you can send a GVRP request
using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch; the switch will automatically add that
device to the existing VLAN.
