1. Introduction

The LB-FEA800M is compact desktop size switches that are ideal solutions
for SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) network user. It provides wire-speed,
Fast Ethernet switching function that allows high-performance, low-cost
connection. The Switches feature a store-and-forward switching and it can
auto-learn and store source address on an 8K-entry MAC address table.

The Switches provides 8 switched auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet
ports and features Auto MDI/MDIX function for each port. [In general, MDI
means connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX means connecting to
a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect
to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover
cabling. ]

With there build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the
LB-FEA800M becomes easier. From cabinet management to port-level control
and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via Web
Browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing command strings. However,
the LB-FEA800M can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or SNMP
Management.

Ethernet Switching Technology

Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a
network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense multiple
access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) 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.

4

Ethernet Switching Technology supplied higher performance at costs lower
than other solutions. Wider bandwidth, no congestion, and the reduction 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.

Management Methods

The LB-FEA800M series supports following management methods:

n Console and Telnet Management
n Web-based Management
n SNMP Network Management

Console and Telnet Management

Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port. Managing
the LB-FEA800M in this method requires a direct connection between PC and
the 8TP+1Fiber Management Switch. While Telnet management is done over
the network. Once the LB-FEA800M is on the network, you can use Telnet to
Log in and change the configuration.

Web-based Management

The Switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory. It
offers advanced management features and allow users to manage the
LB-FEA800M from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor
and control network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection,
performance, and security.

this switch is suitable for department user to connect to the corporate
backbone.

Figure 3-2 Segment Application

You can use the LB-FEA800M to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to
each other by connecting these devices directly to the Switch. All the devices
in this network can communicate with each other. Connecting servers to the
backbone switch allow other users to access the server’s data.

The Switch automatically learns node address, which are subsequently used
to filter and forward all traffic based on the destination address. You can use
any of the RJ-45 port of the LB-FEA800M to connect with another Switch or
Hub to interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups to form a larger
switched network.

inactive MAC address remains in the switch's address table. The valid
range is 300~765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.

Max bridge transit delay bound control: Limit the packets queuing
time in switch. If enable, the packets queued exceed will be drop. This
valid value are 1sec, 2 sec, 4 sec and off. Default is 1 seconds.
Broadcast Storm Filter: To configure broadcast storm control, enable it
and set the upper threshold for individual
ports. The threshold is the percentage of the port's total bandwidth used
by broadcast traffic. When broadcast traffic for a port rises above the
threshold you set, broadcast storm control becomes active. The valid
threshold value are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and off.

54

.

Priority Queue Service settings:

First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent is depend on
arrive order.
All High before Low: The high priority packets sent before low priority
packets.
Weighted Round Robin: Select the preference given to packets in the
switch's high-priority queue.
These options represent the number of high priority packets sent before
one low priority packet is sent. For example, 2 High :1 Low means that
the switch sends 2 high priority packets before sending 1 low priority
packet.

Enable Delay Bound: Limit the low priority packets queuing time in
switch. Default Max Delay Time is 255ms.
If the low priority packet stays in switch exceed Max Delay Time, it will
be sent. The valid range is 1~255 ms.
NOTE: Make sure of “Max bridge transit delay bound control” is enabled
before enable Delay Bound, because Enable Delay Bound must be
work under “Max bridge transit delay bound control is enabled” situation.

Qos Policy: High Priority Levels: 0~7 priority level can map to high or
low queue. When the VLAN Tag number of a frame is mapping the
priority level of the port, and this frame can have high priority.(This QoS
Policy is for global Switch, not for any single port)

Protocol Enable Setting :

Enable Spanning Tree Protocol : Default recommend to enable STP
Enable Internet Group Multicast Protocol: enable IGMP protocol
IGMP Query Mode: Recognize different Query from client or server to

decide which Queryer will be the first priority, they are three mode as
follow:

1. Auto Mode: Choose the indicated Switch, which has the smallest IP
address will be set for the IGMP Queryer.

2. Enable Mode: Enable one of Switch to be the IGMP Queryer.

3. Disable Mode: Disable the other Switches to be the IGMP Queryer.

VLAN Operation Mode:

56

No VLAN

802.1Q(Tag VLAN) without GVRP VLAN mode

802.1Q(Tag VLAN) with GVRP VLAN mode (Default)
Port Based

Also, three kind of typologies shown as below indicate how the IGMP
Query work within a network:

1. This topology has to be set for when the router’s IP address is
smaller than other Switch in subnet.

2. This topology has to be set for when the router’s IP address is not
smaller than other Switch in subnet.

Note: This Router supports IGMP protocol, but IGMP function has to be
in enable mode, and the Router has to be the Queryer.

3. This topology must be set for when the Switch’s IP address is not the

smallest in the subnet. If in Auto mode, the network will cause multi-cast
storm from the client IGMP report, the topology shown as below is
necessary to be set for.

58

Note: Suggest VOD server set with Switch has smallest IP address.

4. All of Switch must be in Disable mode, When VOD server is set up for
IGMP Queryer.

GVRP (GARP [Generic Attribute Registration Protocol] VLAN
Registration Protocol)

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.

5-4-5. Trunking

The Trunking 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 refer to IEEE

802.3ad.

5-4-5-1. 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: you can create a link aggregation across two or more ports,

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:The max number of ports can be aggregated at the same

time. If LACP static trunking group, the exceed ports is standby and able
to aggreate if work ports fail. If local static trunking group, the number
must be the same as group ports.

4. Select the ports to join the trunking group

5. If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in

each ports.

6. Click Apply.

62

5-4-5-2. Aggregator Information

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

5-4-5-3. State Activity

Active (select): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Passive (no select): 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 and LACP protocol packet
from the opposite device.

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

active status will be created automatically.

64

5-4-6. Filter Database

5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping

The 8TP+1Fiber Management Switch support IP multicast , you can
enable IGMP protocol on web management’s switch setting advanced
page, then display the IGMP snooping 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:

A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a

ost to the querier to indicate that the host wants

A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to

be a member of a specific multicast group.

5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address

Description

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 powered-off device is active on the
network again.

1. To add a static MAC address

2. From the main menu, click administrator, then click Filter Database.

66

3. Click Static MAC Addresses. 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, select 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

5-4-6-3. Port Security

A port in security mode will be “locked” without permission of address
learning. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the
address table can be forwarded normally. User 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 Submit to apply the changes on this page.

5-4-6-4. MAC Filtering

5-4-7. VLAN configuration

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 8TP+1Fiber Management Switch support port-based and
protocol-base VLAN in web management page, In the default
configuration,
VLAN support is enable and all ports on the switch belong to default
VLAN, VID is 1.

NOTE: The default VLAN can’t be deleted.

68

Support Port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)

Port-based Tagging rule 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 frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID)
that indicates the VLAN numbers.

Support Protocol-based VLAN

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.

5-4-7-1. Basic

Create a VLAN and add tagged member ports to it.

1. From the main menu, click administrator -- VLAN configuration.

2. Click Add

3. Type a name for the new VLAN.

4. Type a VID (between 2-4094). The default is 1.

5. From the Available ports box, select ports to add to the switch and

click Add.

6. Click Apply

5-4-7-2. Port VID

Configure port VID settings

From the main Tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN page, click Port VID
Settings.

Port VID (PVID)

Sets the Port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a
given port. For example, if port 9's Default PVID is 100, all untagged
packets on port 9 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all
ports is VID 1.
This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you want to
participate in the VLAN but that don't support tagging. Only one
untagged VLAN is allowed per port.

Ingress Filtering
Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN to be
forwarded if the port belongs to that VLAN. 8TP+1Fiber Management
Switch have two ingress filtering rule as follows:
Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with VID matching this

70

port's configured VID .
Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frame.

5-4-8. Spanning Tree

The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE

802.1D ) for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP enabled,
to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes
on the network.
You can enable Spanning-Tree Protocol on web management’s switch
setting advanced item, select enable Spanning-Tree protocol. We are
recommended that you enable STP on all switches ensures a single
active path on the network.

1. You can view spanning tree information about the Root Bridge.

If you change the value, you must reboot the switch.

5-4-9. Port Mirror

Description

The Port Mirror is a method for monitor traffic in switched networks.
Traffic through ports can be monitored by one specific port. That is,
traffic goes in or out monitored ports will be duplicated into mirror port.

Roving Analysis State: Enable or disable the port mirror function.
Mirror Ports: The ports you want to mirror. All mirror port traffic will be

copied to mirror port. You can select max 9 monitor ports in the switch. If
you want to disable the function, you must select monitor port to none.

Monitor Rx: Monitored receive frames from the port.
Monitor Tx: Monitored send frames from the port.

5-4-10. SNMP

Any Network Management running the simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) can management the switch,
Provided the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly
on the management station. The SNMP is a Protocol that governs the
transfer of information between management and agent. The
8TP+1Fiber Management Switch supports SNMP V1.

1. Use this page to define management stations as trap managers and to

enter SNMP community strings. User can also define a name, location,
and contact person for the switch. Fill in the system options data, then
click Apply to update the changes on this page

7. Troubleshooting

This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the
LB-FEA800M series.

Incorrect connections

n Faulty or loose cables

Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK,
make sure the connections are snug. IF that does not correct the
problem, try a different cable.

n Non-standard cables

Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network
collisions and other network problem, and can seriously impair network
performance. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every
100Base-T network installation.

n Improper Network Topologies

It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology.
Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many
repeaters ( hubs ) between end nodes. In addition, you should make
sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between
any two ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any
time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely
impact your network performance.

82

Diagnosing LED Indicators

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in
identifying problems, which describes common problems you may
encounter and where you can find possible solutions.

IF the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged
in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord. However,
if the Switch powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF you still cannot
resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.

n Cabling

RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair
( STP ) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Ω Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for

10Mbps connections or 100Ω Category 5 cable for 100Mbps
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection

does not exceed 100 meters ( 328 feet ).

100Base-FX fiber port: Fiber multi-mode connector type must use
50/125 or 62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices over a 2 kilometer distance. However, Fiber single-mode
connector type must use 9/125 um single- mode fiber cable. You can
connect two devices over a 15~60 kilometers distance in full duplex
operation.
