Attaching the Rubber Feet to the XMS-1024

4.3 Network Connections:

The XMS-1024 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10/100 Mbps half/fullduplex mode and 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. All RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/ MDIX and can be used as ordinary ports or as Uplink ports. Any RJ-45 port can be used to connect the XMS-1024 to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers, routers, and other switches) without a crossover cable.

The XMS-1024 offers 2 shared SFP optical module expansion ports. Once the Gigabit SFP optical modules are inserted, these interfaces can support optical ﬁ ber cables to extend the Gigabit network up to 49 miles—enabling the network to extend beyond the 300 foot limitation of twisted pair Ethernet.

For the RJ-45 ports, Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) should be used. For best results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded twisted pair be used to ensure stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps.

Optical ﬁ ber/cable should be selected based on the wavelength of the SFP optical module to be used.

Make sure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the XMS1024 and a router. Otherwise, loops can occur and result in network failure.

4.4 Default IP Address

The XMS-1024 default IP address is 192.168.0.2. This address can be changed. However, for hassle free installation of other plug and play Luxul devices, it is recommended that the default IP value be maintained.

Storm Control: Suppresses the transfer of bandwidth limiting broadcast packets through the switch. When broadcast packets reach the set bandwidth limitation, the XMS-1024 automatically discards the packet to ensure a stable environment that is free from broadcast storms.



Broadcast Rate: The allowed bandwidth rate of broadcast packets. Default is 1024kb or 1mb/second.



Multicast Rate: The allowed bandwidth rate of multicast packets. Default is 1024kb or 1mb/second.

User Guide

1717

NOTE: If multicast streaming is used in your environment you will want

to raise this limit from the default.



Unknown Unicast Rate (Flood): The allowed bandwidth rate of ﬂ ood packets. Default is 1024kb or 1mb/second.

NOTE: This value should not be raised without the assistance of a

Network Administrator in determining if it is necessary.

NOTE: The XMS-1024 does not completely suppress broadcast packets.

Instead it only limits the transmission rate for broadcast packets.

NOTE: The statistics page does not update dynamically

User Guide

5.4 Mirror

Port mirroring is used to transfer the packets of one or more monitored ports to another port, allowing a security department or administrator to monitor Internet access, trafﬁ c ﬂ ows and packets.

The bandwidth of the monitoring port cannot be lower than that of the monitored port.

If the monitoring port is the monitored port, the system automatically ignores this monitored port and does not duplicate the trafﬁ c.

This function supports cross-VLAN monitoring. Monitoring is allowed even if the monitored port and the monitoring port belong to different VLAN groups.



Mirror:



Mirror Port: Selects a port to serve as the monitoring port



Mirrored Port: Selects one or more ports to be monitored

5.5 VLAN

A VLAN or Virtual Local Area Networks can be used to establish secure autonomous broadcast/multicast domains. A VLAN is used to divide a network into multiple network segments and/or to shrink broadcast domains for application or departmental optimization. Within a VLAN, all Ethernet packets, such as unicast, multicast, broadcast and unknown unicast packets will be transferred only to other devices within the VLAN group. A VLAN can be used to change the topological structure of the network without any movement of a network device or change of network connections. You can modify the VLAN settings of a device for example, to “move” a device from the VLAN of one group to that of another group. This helps create secure, optimized departmental (or function/application speciﬁ c) networks that cannot be accessed by other departments, applications or functions. This also means the network nodes or devices can be moved, changed or added without having to physically move the device.

To remove a port from a speciﬁ ed VLAN, ﬁ rst select the VLAN group you wish to remove it from. Then, check the ports you wish to remain in the VLAN while leaving the ports you wish to remove unchecked.

5.5.3 802.1Q VLAN Conﬁ guration

In 802.1Q VLAN mode (Tagged mode), the port VLAN ID (VID) is used to distinguish to which VLAN the trafﬁ c belongs. When a packet passes through the switch, the VID information in the tag header indicates to which VLAN the packet belongs. The switch then determines the destination ports according to the VID set in the packet.

User Guide

5.6 Trunk

Trunking is used to expand bandwidth, for failover, and/or to increase error tolerance when networking multiple switches together.

All ports that are deﬁ ned as members of the trunk group can be used for trunking ONLY and cannot be used for other purposes, even when they are not being used by the trunk group.

Cross-VLAN trunk grouping is not supported. All members of a trunk group must be within the same VLAN. Otherwise the trunk will not function properly.

When the trunk group is used for inter-switch cascading (Uplinks), be sure the cascading port used for connecting with the other switch is part of the corresponding trunk group. The cascading of multiple ports (trunk members) must be done from one trunk group to a corresponding trunk group.

CAUTION: Never connect two trunk groups of a switch together or

cascade two switches through more than one trunk channel. Such conﬁ gurations will result in a network loop and will cause a broadcast storm resulting in blocking of all network

trafﬁ c on the switches.

5.7 QoS

QoS functions can be implemented through a combination of priority mode settings and priority control options. The XMS-1024 supports packet mapping by 4 priority levels (low, normal, medium and high) and 3 priority setting modes: Type of Service (ToS) Priority, 802.1P Tag Priority, and 802.1P Default Priority



QoS priority setting modes are in the following order from highest to lowest:



ToS Priority: If “ToS Priority” is enabled, the switch automatically reads an 8-bit ToS tag from the IPv6/IPv4 packet. If the priority tag indicates a high priority, this packet is mapped to high priority for priority processing. When the switch becomes busy, it processes the packets marked with a high priority ﬁ rst.



802.1P Tag Priority: If “802.1Q Tag Priority” is enabled, the switch automatically reads a 3-bit priority tag from the packet with a valid VLAN tag. If the priority tag indicates a high priority, the packet is mapped to high priority. When the switch becomes busy, it processes the packets marked with a high priority ﬁ rst.



802.1P Default Priority



Port Priority: If “Port Priority” is enabled and high priority is assigned to a physical port, all packets passing this port are mapped to high priority. As a result, the switch processes the packets received/transmitted by this port ﬁ rst.



5.10.1 RSTP Conﬁ guration



System Priority: Sets the system priority of each switch within the network. The switch with the lowest system priority will become the root bridge. If the switch is used in a large-scale enterprise network, it is recommended to skip this setting.



Hello Time: Sets a value ranging 1 second to 10 seconds. This sets the time interval for the root bridge transmission of BPDU packets to all of other switches, so it is known which switch is serving as the root bridge. When a switch not serving as the root bridge is set with a speciﬁ c value, the value does not take effect. Only when the switch becomes the root bridge is the setting active.



Max Age: Sets a value ranging 6 seconds to 40 seconds. If a switch does not receive the BPDU packet transmitted by the root bridge when the maximum aging time is up, the switch will take over as the root bridge and transmit the BPDU packets to all other switches. If the switch has the lowest priority level, it will continue to function as the root bridge. This setting should be set to a large value, to avoid unnecessary resetting of the root bridge.



Forward Delay: Sets a value ranging 4 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the monitoring time for a switch port to change from blocking status into forwarding status (i.e. how long it will take for a port to become active after another port has failed). A higher value means greater delay in response.



Version: Selects the version of Spanning Tree to use: RSTP based on 802.1W (default value) or STP based on 802.1D (Note: RTSP is the current industry standard.)

5.11 IGMP Snooping

IGMP Snooping is used to implement dynamic registration of L2 multicast on the switch. To accommodate L2 multicast with IGMP Snooping, IGMP must be activated on the client device and router as the XMS-1024 only snoops the IGMP messages transmitted by the client device and router to dynamically maintain the L2 multicast group. Multicast registration on this switch does not affect the settings of other switches in the environment. The switch transmits an IGMP query message and receives the IGMP response from the client device. Based on the receiving port, VLAN ID, and multicast of the IGMP packets, the XMS-1024 creates and maintains a multicast group. After creating a group, it forwards the IGMP packets to other switches and routers in the network. Only the ports included in a multicast group can receive the multicast data stream. This reduces network trafﬁ c and saves network bandwidth.

The values in “V1 Reports”, “V2 Reports” and “V3 Reports” shows the version of the multicast messages received. If a message is of V2 and a device in the multicast table wants to leave the multicast group, the leave message is transmitted in V2 format.
