2 Accessing MAGBES Management Software
The MAGBES is manageable via a Web Interface. To access the MAGBES an IP Address is necessary. This
address may be fixed, or retrieved from a DHCP Server.
To login a Password is required, which should be changed after the first login.
On first power-up or after loading the “Factory Default Values” (either by pressing the “Default” switch for more
than 4 sec, or clicking the Load Factory Default button on the System Configuration Page), the MAGBES uses
following IP Parameters:
2.1 Factory default system configuration parameters
Parameter First 12 seconds after Power-Up After the first 12 seconds
IP Address DHCP 192.168.1.254
Netmask DHCP 255.0.0.0
Gateway DHCP 0.0.0.0
Login user name admin
Login Password 1234
System Name Magbes
Location
Notes:
● After Power-Up, the MAGBES waits for a valid Link before starting the DHCP Client.
● If no DHCP server has been found 12 seconds after the detection of a valid link, the IP address
192.168.1.254 will be used.
● The “Login user name” is not changeable.
● The “System Name” and “Location” are changeable and should contain useful information for the
Network Administrator to identify the Switch.
● If using DHCP, the IP Address of the switch can be found in the log file of the DHCP Server.
2.2 Login
After entering the IP Address in the address field of your Internet browser, you have to login as “admin” User:
Enter the Password to access the MAGBES Management Web Interface.

3.1 System Status
The System Status shows information about the MAGBES Revisions and the System Configuration:
● The Product Name, Product Number, Serial Number, and the Firmware are used to identify the
MAGBES.
● The DHCP, DHCP Fall Back, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway show the Network
configuration.
● The Switch Name, Location Name and Login Timeout are configurable.

3.2 System Setup
On this page the System Parameters can be configured.
Notes:
● The DHCP Fallback Address will be used if DHCP Timeout sec have been elapsed after valid link
detection and no DHCP offer has been received.
● If using DHCP the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway Settings are ignored.
● Jumbo Frame support is only available on MAGBES-11, MAGBES-12 and MAGBES-13.
● Telnet CLI enables the Telnet Command line Interface. See chapter 5 Telnet Command Line Interface
for further information.
● If disable both Web Interface and Telnet Command Line Interface, the MAGBES will disable the
configuration interface of the MAGBES. This means that the MAGBES will not use any IP address but
will still do the configured jobs as long as they don't require an IP Address (SNMP will not work). To
revert in the configurable mode the "default switch" has to be pressed for at least 4 sec.
● System Name (max Length 15 chars) and Location (max Length 15 chars) are only used to inform
the Network Administrator, on which MAGBES she/he is logged in.
● If the Login Timeout is elapsed without any activity on the Web Interface, the user is automatically
logged out.

3.3 System Admin
This page allows to change the Password, Restart the MAGBES and Update the Firmware.
● The Password must be between 4 and 15 characters long. This is used for the login (see Figure 2:
System Status). The Password must be retyped to ensure that no typos have been filled in. If you have
forgotten the Password you have to set the MAGBES to default as it is described in the MAGBES User
Manual.
● Restart forces the MAGBES to restart (reset). No configuration will change.
● Firmware Update can be done either via a direct File Upload, or loading the firmware from a TFTP
Server. Please note that after updating the Firmware all configuration are lost.

3.4 System Configuration
This page allows to change the configuration of the entire switch:
● Default forces the MAGBES to load factory defaults and restart. The same effect has the pressing of
the “Default Switch” for more than 4 seconds.
The MAGBES allows the use of a customer specific default configuration. This is called the Alternate defaults
in this Manual.
● Alternate: Loads the alternate defaults and restarts. The same effect has the pressing of the “Default
Switch” (less than 4 seconds). If no alternate defaults are stored, the MAGBES uses the factory default
for this purpose.
● Delete: Invalidate the alternate defaults.
● Save: Save the current configuration as alternate defaults.
The configuration of the MAGBES can also be uploaded. See chapter 6 Configuration File for further information
on configuration file support.
● Upload: Uploads the chosen configuration file. After the upload, the file will be validated and a new
page allows to select one of the following actions:
● Apply: The new configuration will be saved and the MAGBES will restart.
● Discard: The new configuration will be discarded and the previous configuration restored.
● Save: The new configuration will be saved as alternate defaults.
The current configuration can also be viewed or downloaded for modifications.
● View: Shows the current configuration, using the XML configuration file along the XML Stylesheet.
● Download: Allows to download the XML configuration file.
For offline viewing and validation of the configuration file, MAGBES allows also to download the
appropriate XML Stylesheet and XML Schema file.
WARNING: Upload, viewing and download XML files uses much memory. Using large XML files may
lead to an “out of RAM” condition, which may lead to a restart of the MAGBES. So it is not
recommended to use this feature in a production network.

4.1.1 Port Configuration (Copper)
Speed:
Used to select the Speed and the duplex mode of the Port. Following choices are possible:
● Auto (1GBit): According IEEE 802.3 1000Base-T link are only possible with Auto-Negotiation. In this
Mode the Speed and duplex mode are negotiated between the two link partners. The Flow-Control
settings in this mode is used to advertise the ability of Flow-Control. If the Link partner doesn't support
this, the MAGBES will not use Flow-Control.
The Downshift setting is only active during the Auto Setting.
● 100MBit Full-Duplex, 100MBit Half-Duplex, 10MBit Full-Duplex, and 10MBit Half-Duplex: these
settings are used to force the MAGBES to these Speeds and Duplex-Modes.
Warning: When using one of these Modes, the Link Partner must be set to the exact same
settings.
● Disabled: If set to Disabled, the port enters a Power-Down Mode and doesn't receive or transmit any
Frames.

Flow Control:
In Auto (1GBit) mode, this setting is only used to advertise the ability to use Flow-Control.
● Off: No Flow-Control is used
● On: Flow Control on a half duplex enabled port is used to throttle the throughput rate of an end station
to avoid packet dropping during network congestion. Only ports involved in the congestion are flow
controlled. If the half duplex flow control is not set, incoming packets may be discarded during network
congestion. Flow Control on a half duplex enabled port is not defined by IEEE.
Flow Control on a full duplex enabled port has the same purpose as on a half duplex enabled port.
IEEE 802.3 flow control requires the two link partners to auto-negotiate and advertise their flow control
capabilities. Flow-Control on full duplex ports is achieved by sending Pause-Frames to the Link partner.
Downshift:
● Off: No Downshift is used
● On: If both link partners support 1000Base-T, but are connected with an Ethernet Cable containing only
2 pairs instead of the required 4 pairs, they may negotiate to 1000Base-T but will fail to link. If downshift
is enabled MAGBES will advertise the next lower speed after the 1000Base-T link fails 3 times.
This feature is ignored in other modes than Auto (1GBit).

4.1.2 Port Configuration (SFP)
The Port Configuration for SFP works similar to the one for Copper with the difference, that the settings allow
only the SPF supported Speeds. If the SFP is not supported by the MAGBES the Settings drop down box is
fixed on Disabled.
● Most 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX SFP's are supported as long as they comply
Ethernet compatibility.
● Copper SFP is also supported, but this is only tested with the FINISAR FCLF-8520-3 A.
● The SFP Info shows the contents of the serial EEPROM of the SFP.
● If the EEPROM of the SFP has a wrong Checksum, the MAGBES tries to get as much information as
possible from the SFP and guess the possible Settings according this information. This mode is marked
with a red Checksum invalid.
● If no useful information can be retrieved, all Settings are possible. In this case the user is responsible to
choose the correct setting. Wrong Speed settings may damage the SFP! This mode is marked with a
red Checksum invalid

4.3 Port Based VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) are used to separate different LAN segments from each other. This has
following advantages:
● Smaller Broadcast Traffic. Broadcast Frames on one LAN segment are only forwarded to the same LAN
segment.
● Enhanced Security. It is not possible to send a frame from one LAN Segment to another.
Port based VLAN allows to create simple VLAN which exist only within the Switch. Frames are not modified
and the devices connected to the MAGBES do not need to support VLAN.

ID: Is just an arbitrary Number and has no influence on the functionality of the Port Based VLAN.
Description: Used to identify the Port Based VLAN Segment. Up to 15 Characters Length.
Member Ports: Each Port with an 'X' in the table is member of this VLAN. In the example above, this means
that Port0 (Marketing Workstation) can reach Port2 (Marketing Workstation) and Port4 (Server),
but it cannot reach Port1 (Production Workstation) or Port2 (Production Workstation).
Warning: Please make sure that the Port you use to configure the MAGBES is enabled in one
VLAN. Otherwise the connection to the internal CPU is lost, and you have to press the
Default Switch to enable access to the internal CPU again. Note that the internal CPU is
member of all IDs.

4.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows to define VLAN over the entire Network. For this purpose a special tag is
inserted into the Frame containing information of the VLAN.
VLAN Admin
• Enable VLAN: If checked the VLAN is enabled and the management is only possible within the
"Management VLAN ID" VLAN. If not checked the VLAN is not enabled and the management is
possible from all VID. All changes to the VLAN configuration takes only place when check it and press
the send button.
• Management VLAN ID: The ID of the VLAN within management of the MAGBES is possible, if the
VLAN is enabled.

4.4.1 Configuring IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Groups
On the upper Form the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Groups can be defined.
By clicking the New VLAN Button you can configure a new VLAN:
Since the VLAN ID's (VID) 0 and 4096 are reserved and the VID 1 is the Default VID you can only select a VID
between 2 and 4095. If the VID is already in use it will not be displayed in the Drop-Down list.
After selecting the VID and pressing OK you can configure the VLAN:
Description: Up to 15 Characters describing the VLAN segment.
Priority: If the Overwrite Prio is set, this selects the priority with which the Frame with this VID will be
forwarded to the destination port.
Overwrite Prio: see above.
Port X: Selects the mode the frame will egress the Port. Can be one of following:
● Disabled: The Frame will not egress on this port.
● Untagged: The Frame will egress on this port without the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
● Tagged: The Frame will egress on this port with the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
● Unmodified: The Frame will egress on this port as it was received.
After Pressing Apply the settings for this VLAN will be saved.

Default VID: This Drop-Down List shows all configured VLAN groups. Each frame ingress in this port without
a IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag will be tagged with the selected VLAN Group.
Force Default VID: If enabled all frames will be tagged with the selected VLAN Group, whether the frames
ingress with or without a IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Security Mode: IEEE 802.1Q Security Features. Select one of following Options:
● Secure: The frame VID must be known by the switch and the ingress port must be a member of
the VLAN. The frame is only allowed to exit on those ports which are members of the VLAN.
● Check: The frame VID must be known by the switch, it doesn't matter from which port it entered
the switch. The frame is only allowed to exit on those ports which are members of the VLAN.
● Fallback: If frame VID is known by the switch it is only allowed to exit on those ports which are
members of the VLAN. If the VID is not known, the frame is allowed to exit on all ports.
● Disabled: The frame is allowed to exit on all ports.
4.4.3 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Example
This example uses 3 VLANs:
● Production: Production 1 Workstation in Office 1, Production 2 Workstation in Office 2, and the
ServerRouter.
● Marketing: Marketing 1 Workstation in Office 1, Marketing 2 Workstation in Office 2, and the
Server/Router.
● VoIP: VoIP Phone 1 in Office 1 and VoIP Phone 2 Office 2 and will be routed on the Server/Router

Marketing VLAN:
The Marketing VLAN works the same way as the Production VLAN.
VoIP VLAN:
The VoIP VLAN works also the same way, except that the Priority has been overwritten in order to have
a good Voice Quality.
4.4.4 Important Notes using IEEE 802.Q VLAN
When using IEEE 802.1Q VLAN the Port-Based VLAN on the MAGBES is still active. Please configure
the Port-Based VLAN to the default setting (All ports are member of the ID1 “default”), unless you use
the Port-Based VLAN for something special.
The Management CPU is member of the Management VLAN ID. To access the management functions,
the connection must be done either on a port with the default VID of the Management ID and must use
untagged Frames, or must ingress the MAGBES tagged with the Management VLAN ID.

4.5 Quality Of Service (QoS)
The Quality of Service function is used to setup the MAGBES to treat the Ethernet traffic according the type of
the frames. This can be achieved by setting priorities to the frames.
MAGBES supports several different priority settings:
The priorities are checked on the ingress frames in following order:
Destination MAC: If a frame ingress on this port with a Destination MAC Address, which is found in the
Address Translating Unit (see MAC Authentication) and the entry in the Address Translating
Unit is marked as Overwrite Priority, the priority of the entry will be used for this frame.
Source MAC: If a frame ingress on this port with a Source MAC Address, which is found in the Address
Translating Unit (see MAC Authentication) and the entry in the Address Translating Unit is
marked as Overwrite Priority, the priority of the entry will be used for this frame.
VID Priority: If a frame ingress on this port with a IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag, or if the ports default VLAN ID is
found in the VLAN Table and marked as Overwrite Priority, the priority of the VLAN ID will be
used for this frame.
IEEE 802.1ac: If a frame ingress on this port with a IEEE 802.1ac tag, the priority found in this tag will be used.
ToS/TC: If the Frame is a IPv4 the “Type of Service” (TOS/DiffServ) field, or if the Frame is a Ipv6 the
“Traffic Class” (TC) field, is used to determine the priority of the frame.
Default Priority: If none of the above priorities are enabled the frame will be used with the ports default priority.

4.5.1 Priority Mapping for MAC, VID, IEEE 802.1ac and Default Priority
Since the MAGBES supports only 4 internal priorities, the 8 priorities found in the Destination MAC, Source
MAC, VID Priority or IEEE 802.1ac needs to be mapped to 4 internal priorities.
This can be done by clicking on the “Priority Mapping” Button:
IP Value: This is the value found either in the Destination MAC, Source MAC, VID Priority, IEEE 802.1ac,
or Default Priority.
Switch Priority: This is the priority with which the frame will be treated in the MAGBES. The Frame will egress
the MAGBES with the same priority settings it ingresses, unless “Replace Priority” is enabled.

4.6 MAC Authentication
MAGBES supports MAC Authentication which can be used to reject any frame from a particular port, allowing
only a particular MAC address on a port, and changing the priority of a frame with a particular MAC address.
With the Button “Add MAC”, a new MAC Address can be loaded into the MAGBES. The MAC Address will be
stored into the Address Translating Unit as static (not aging) entry.
The Button “List known MAC” shows all MAC address (learned and statically added) on port based. This
allows to add a MAC address to the internal address base by click on the MAC address.
Click on the MAC address entry to change the destination and/or priority or completely delete the MAC address.

After entering a MAC address the properties have to be set:
Destination: The port where as the Frame with this Destination MAC address will egress. If it is marked as
“Unauthorized”, all Frames with this MAC address will be discarded.
Priority: If Overwrite (Ov) is set and the Source or Destination MAC address priority is enabled in the
Qos settings, the Frame will be treated with the priority selected in the Value field.
Del: Allows to delete the MAC address from the static MAC address base.

4.8 SNMP Configuration
The “Simple Network Management Protocol” allows to read and set some configuration parameters.
IP Addr: The IP Address of the host where a SNMP configuration tool is running.
En: If marked, the IP address is valid
Community: The MAGBES supports SNMPv1 only. This string is used to distinguish between different users
with different rights. Normally the string “public” is used for Read Only access, and the string
“private” is used for Read/Write access.
Traps: If enabled SNMPv1 Traps packets will be sent to the IP Address, if one of the events has been
detected. The Enterprise specific (Misc) trap is used for SFP Diagnostics Warnings / Alarms
(for more information see 4.1.2.1 SFP Diagnostic)
With the Test Traps you can simulate the traps events.

4.9 Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used for Network configuration which needs a high reliability.
In a normal Network configuration no loops must exists, otherwise a broadcast storm will occur and the network
will become unusable. This means that it is not possible to have redundancy links between the nodes of the
Network.
4.9.1 Spanning Tree Example
In this example Network you will have a broadcast storm unless you have enabled the STP. The STP will elect a
“Root Bridge” and enables only those links which have the smallest “Path Cost” to the “Root Bridge”.

Assuming the MAGBES 1 is the “Root Bridge” the network would look as follows:
Now the Network is fully operable. The STP has disabled the forwarding of Frames on the Ports that cause
loops. MAGBES supports the “Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol” which assigns roles to the ports:
● Designated Port: A port that is normally forwarding and not a “Root Port”. If no STP device is attached
to the Port, which means it is connected to an endpoint device such as a Workstation, it is also an
“Edge Port”.
● Root Port: The only port of a device that has the lowest Path Cost to the Root Bridge. This port is
forwarding.
● Alternate Root Port: Ports that provides also a Path to the Root Bridge but with higher Path Cost.
These ports are listening.
● Backup Port: Ports that is connected to another port of the same device. These ports are listening.
MAGBES 1: All ports are Designated Ports. Ports 0, 3, and 4 are also Edge Ports.
MAGBES 2: Ports 0, 2, and 3 are Designated Ports. Port 4 is the Root Port. Port 1 is a Backup Port.
MAGBES 3: Ports 1 and 3 are Designated Ports. Port 4 is the Root Port. Port 0 is an Alternate Root Port.
MAGBES 4: Ports 1 and 2 are Designated Ports. Port 0 is the Root Port. Port 4 is an Alternate Root Port.

Page 42
4.10.1.1 Bridge parameters
STP Enable: Enables / Disables the Spanning Tree Protocol. Please note that if you disable the STP all
ports will go immediately to forwarding. This can lead to forwarding loops, which may lead to an
unusable network.
If you disable the Spanning Tree Protocol make sure that no forwarding loops can be
created if all ports go to forwarding. If you have any blocked ports, it may be a good idea
to disable them on the “Port Configuration” page before disable the STP.
STP Mode: Select the STP Version. Choices are Auto, Force STP.
Auto uses the RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), if the neighbor bridge supports RSTP. If
the neighbor bridge supports STP only, only the port which is connected to the neighbor bridge
will use the STP protocol.
Force STP uses the STP on all ports.
Bridge Priority: Select the priority of the Bridge from 0 to 61440 in steps of 4096. The lower the value the
higher the priority.
Hello Time: The Time in seconds Spanning Tree information will be exchanged between the bridges.
Forward Delay: The Time in seconds the port will go from blocking to forwarding if the port uses the STP. This
parameter does not affect reconfiguration times on ports using RSTP.
Max Age: This value is the maximal age of the Spanning Tree Message if the bridge is the root bridge.
Port Cost Mode: Bridges supporting STP only uses a 16Bit (Short) value as port cost. The IEEE802.1D
specifies a 32Bit (Long) value. The recommended value is short to be compatible with the older
bridges.
Please make sure that the “Port Cost Mode” is the same on all Bridges in the network.
Fast Root Fail Det: If the MAGBES detects a Root Bridge Failure it will accelerate the outdating of the
information of the failing Root Bridge. This option is not according the IEEE802.1D Standard.
Bridge Info: Shows the current Root Bridge ID along with the Path cost. Please note that this information
may not immediately change after clicking “Apply”. Click on “Refresh” to get the actual
information.
The Ports table informs about the states of the ports:
● Priority shows the selected Port priority for the port.
● Cost: displays the actual port cost if the port is enabled and active. If the port is not active (no link), it
shows how the port cost will be calculated when the port becomes active.
● State: Shows the actual role and state of the port.
By clicking on the port numbers you can configure the parameters per port.

4.10.2 STP Port Options
4.10.2.1 STP Port Parameters
Enable: Enables Port for STP. If the port is disabled it will be set to blocked and no Frames will be
forwarded.
Priority: Port Priority for this port. Can be a value between 0 and 240 in 16 steps. The lower the value
the higher the priority.
Cost: Either Auto or Manual. If set to Auto the MAGBES calculates the Port Cost according the
detected Speed. If set to Manual the Value will be taken.
Edge: One of the following choices:
● Auto: MAGBES will automatic detect if the port is an Edge Port
● Force Edge: The Port will be forced to an Edge Port.
● Guarded Edge: The Port will be forced to an Edge Port, and every received STP
message will be discarded.
● No Edge: The port will be forced to be No Edge Port.

4.10.3 STP Configuration Parameters
To get a stable loop free network it may be necessary to adjust some of the parameters of the STP. The STP
will work without a modification of a parameter, but the resulting Spanning Tree may not make much sense.
Since you know your network topology, it is up to you to modify some parameters to get a Spanning Tree which
makes sense.
4.10.3.1 Root Bridge selection
The first thing is that you select the Root Bridge. Since the Bridge with the lowest ID will be elected as Root
Bridge you can adjust the Bridge Priority of this bridge. A good value for the Root Bridge Priority is 8192.
4.10.3.2 Alternate Root Bridge Selection
You may also select an “alternate Root Bridge”, i. e. a Bridge which takes over the job of the Root Bridge if the
old Root Bridge fails. Adjust the Bridge Priority to a value of 16348.
4.10.3.3 Path Modification
The Path to the Root Bridge that the STP calculates, is based on the lowest Root Path Cost. This Path may
make sense or not. If you like to changes the Path it is important to know how these Paths are calculated.
The Root Path Cost will be updated on every incoming STP message by adding the Port Cost to it.
If the received Root ID (Bridge Priority and MAC Address of the Root Bridge) on 2 or more ports is the same,
the one with the smallest Root Path Cost will be selected as root port. Example:
Since the Path cost on MAGBES 2 P1 is smaller than the one of P4, MAGBES 2 select P1 as Root Port. By
changing the Port Cost on MAGBES 2 P1 to 16 (Port Cost: Manual 16), MAGBES will use P4 as Root Port.
If the received Root ID on 2 or more ports is the same and the Root Path Cost are also the same the one with
the smallest Designated Bridge ID (Bridge Priority and MAC Address of the sending Bridge) will be selected as
root port. The other ports are selected as alternate port. Example:
Since the MAGBES 2 has a lower Bridge ID than the MAGBES 3, MAGBES 4 select P1 as Root Port. By
changing the Bridge Priority of MAGBES 2 to a higher value, MAGBES 4 will use P4 as Root Port.

If the received Root ID on 2 or more ports is the same and the Root Path Cost are also the same the and the
Designated Bridge ID is also the same, the one with the smallest Port ID (Port Priority and Port number) will
be used as Root Port. Example:
Since the Port ID of MAGBES 2 P3 (128, 3) is smaller than the one of MAGBES 2 P4 (128, 4), MAGBES 4
selects P3 as Root Port. By changing the Port Priority of MAGBES 2 P4 to 112, MAGBES 4 will use P1 as
Root Port.
With the parameters Bridge Priority, Port Cost and Port Priority it is possible to adjust the Spanning Tree to
the desired topology.
4.10.3.4 Performance Parameters
The default Values for Hello Time, Forward Delay, and Max Age are valid for STP and RSTP Modes.
The Hello Time is the time interval with which the Spanning Tree messages are sent. Decreasing this time
results in faster link failure detection, but increases the CPU load and the Message traffic.
The Forward Delay is the time a port will be learning until it will be changed to forwarding.
The Max Age is the “max hops” value for RSTP messages. This is used to ensure that outdated messages will
not endless loop in the Spanning Tree. Decreasing this value will also decrease the number of RSTP enabled
Bridge on the network.
4.10.3.5 Edge Ports
Edge ports are ports where no other bridge is connected, i. e. a connection to a Workstation or Server. An Edge
port goes immediately to forwarding, because there is no risk of loops when connected to a Workstation or
Server.
Auto: The MAGBES will automatically detect if the port is connected to another RSTP enabled Bridge
Force Edge: The port is not connected to another RSTP Bridge.
Guarded Edge: The port is not connected to another RSTP Bridge and all Spanning Tree Messages received
on this port are discarded. This is useful to prevent the Spanning Tree from receiving false
messages which may lead to a reconfiguration of the Spanning Tree (DoS).
Warning: Enable “Force Edge” or “Guarded Edge” only if you are absolutely sure
that the port is NOT connected to another Bridge.
No Edge: The port is forced to be a No Edge port. Transitions from blocking to forwarding will be done
with the forward delay time.

4.10.4 Important Notes for the Spanning Tree
4.10.4.1 Forwarding Loop when disabling STP
When disabling the STP all ports transition immediately to forwarding. This may lead to a forwarding loop in the
Network.
When disabling the Spanning Tree Protocol make sure that no forwarding loops can be created. If the
STP has a blocked port, it is recommended to disable the port on the “Port Configuration” page before
disabling the STP.
4.10.4.2 Forwarding Loop with unidirectional Links
If a link goes unidirectional, for example if an optical transmit or receive link fails, forwarding loops may be
created since the bridge does not receive any Spanning Tree messages, changing the ports role to designated
and transition the port to forwarding.
4.10.4.3 STP and VLAN
MAGBES currently supports only the RSTP according IEEE802.1D 2004. Since this is not a “per VLAN RSTP” it
is not possible to have a spanning tree for each VLAN. Instead all ports used for links between the Bridges
should be configured to be member of all VLAN ID's. This ensures that the Spanning Tree works for all VLAN's.
4.10.4.4 STP and DHCP
Since it may need some time to have connection to a DHCP server on Start-Up it is recommended that you use
a Fixed IP address for the MAGBES instead of DHCP.

5 Telnet Command Line Interface
The Telnet Command Line Interface can be accessed when the Telnet CLI is enabled. See Chapter 3.2
System Setup.
Notes:
● This chapter describes only how to configure the MAGBES via the CLI, the functionality of a specific
configuration is described in the web interface section.
● The implemented Telnet Server will only allow one connected client.
5.1 Login
After connecting the MAGBES with a “Telnet” command, MAGBES will ask for a password. This is the same as
the one used for the Web Interface.
MAGBES Admin Login
Password: ****
After login the Comand Line Interface prompt is shown:
CLI:
Notes:
● MAGBES uses a simple shell, there is no auto completion or scripting implemented. Supported is a
history buffer with up to 16 commands.
● If a single argument uses more than one word use either single or double quotes. So it is also possible
to use a quote within a string. For example:
location “don't know”
Don't use double quotes within a string, this will break the XML configuration features.
● Commands and arguments are case sensitive.
5.2 Commands
All available commands can be listed with the command 'help':
CLI: help
Available commands:
- config [create|load|save|apply] XML Configfiles

5.14 Firmware update procedure:
The Firmware update via CLI is possible, but it requires a TFTP Server.
Several commands have to be issued for a Firmware update.
Load the firmware binary to the upload area using the TFTP protocol:
CLI: tftpload 10.0.0.1 mes-003.020
..................................................
.............................
File transfer complete.
Notes:
● The tftpload command must be followed by the server IP Address and the firmware filename.
● The '.' are used as progress indicator.
After the firmware has been successfully uploaded the command update is used to complete the firmware
update procedure:
CLI: update
Version 20
Revision 3
Checksum 3FE2
Size 408916
File system size 156672
File system files 52
Checksum OK.
CLI: update prog
Version 20
Revision 3
Checksum 3FE2
Size 408916
File system size 156672
File system files 52
Programming new Firmware, Flash FS len 156672
Programming new Firmware, len 252244
Notes:
● The update command without a parameter checks the image in the upload area.
● The update command with the parameter prog will write the firmware to the flash.
● Since the update process will kill the telnet server, no further messages will be displayed.
5.15 Configuration file handling
It is also possible to configure the entire MAGBES with a configuration file. See chapter 6 Configuration File for
further information on configuration file support.
5.15.1 Upload a configuration file
The configuration file will be loaded to the upload area in like a firmware binary.
CLI: tftpload 10.0.0.1 00-60-c2-16-00-f6.xml
.
File transfer complete.
Notes:
● The tftpload command must be followed by the server IP Address and the name of the configuration
file.
● The '.' are used as progress indicator.

5.15.2 Load the uploaded configuration file
For further operation with the configuration file, it has to be checked and loaded in the volatile memory of the
MAGBES:
CLI: config load
Configuration accepted
Notes:
● This command checks the configuration file and if any errors are detected, they will be displayed.
Now there are 2 possibilities:
5.15.3 Save the configuration file or the current configuration as alternate configuration.
The configuration file previously uploaded with the command tftpload and checked/loaded with the command
config load can now be saved as alternate configuration.
If no configuration file has been loaded, the current configuration will be saved.
CLI: config save
Notes:
● The alternate configuration will be used when either the “default” button is pressed, or the command
default is issued.
● To revert to the factory default values the “default” button has to be pressed for longer than 4 sec or by
issuing the command default fact
5.15.4 Apply the configuration file.
The configuration file previously uploaded with the command tftpload and checked/loaded with the command
config load can now be applied as current configuration:
CLI: config apply
Configuration saved, Please reboot the MAGBES
5.15.5 Download the current configuration as configuration file
There is no transfer protocol implemented which allows to download the configuration directly. But since the
configuration file is a text (xml) file, the file will be displayed and can be saved with “copy & paste” as text file.
CLI: config create
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/magbes_xsl.xsl" ?>
<magbes>
.....
Select and copy the output in the telnet client, and use your favorite text editor to paste the contents, and save
the file as xml file.

6 Configuration File
The MAGBES supports also file based configuration. It is possible to upload and download Configuration files.
Additionally an alternate default configuration is also supported.
6.1 File format
The configuration file is an XML formatted file. This allows that configurations can be easily viewed and edited
with various tools and editors.
For a first validation of the configuration file an XML schema file is provided. Also provided is an XML stylesheet
file.
6.2 File rules
To simplify the file, not all information must be included, only the configuration items which are necessary for the
wanted functionality. File rules:
● Sections may be omitted in configuration files during upload. MAGBES does not change the settings of
the omitted sections.
● It is not possible to only add entries to a list (such as VLAN and MAC lists). This means the entire list
must be part of the configuration file.
When downloading the file all information is included, also some read-only information. File rules for read only
tags:
● Read only tags are ignored except the mac-addr and the serial-no in the <system-id> section. If
one of these 2 tags are found in the configuration file, the MAGBES will check this information with its
own MAC Address and/or Serial Number. If this matches, the configuration file will be accepted,
otherwise not.
● To use one configuration file for several MAGBES, the entire <system-id> can be ommited.
6.2.1 Root tag
The root tag is <magbes> and contains only the XML Schema and XML Stylesheet attributes.
6.2.2 System section
Main tag:
<system>
Contains system relevant information/settings:
6.2.2.1 System ID
<system-id mac-addr="00:60:C2:16:00:F6" firmware="MEV-10119-003 V 0.2.0" prodno="MED-10375-012 Rev.A" serial-no="202"></system-id>
The <system-id> tag contains following attributes:
● mac-addr is the MAC Address of the MAGBES. This value is read-only, but will be checked on
applying. This means, that if the MAC Address in the file is not the same as the one of the MAGBES,
the configuration will not be accepted.
● firmware is firmware identification string. This value is ignored by the MAGBES.
● prod-no is the product number identification string. This value is ignored by the MAGBES.
● serial-no is the serial number of the MAGBES. This value is read-only, but will be checked on
applying. This means, that if the serial number in the file is not the same as the one of the MAGBES,
the configuration will not be accepted.
6.2.2.2 IP Settings
<ip-settings netmask="255.255.255.0" gateway="10.0.0.1" dhcp="on" dhcptimeout="12" dhcp-fallback="192.168.1.254">10.0.0.18</ip-settings>
The <ip-settings> tag contains information about the Ethernet settings:
● netmask is the current Netmask.
● gateway is the current Gateway.
● dhcp is used to switch the DHCP client “on” or “off”. This setting takes precedence over the settings
of the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway. This means that the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway can
only be set if the DHCP client is off. If the DHCP client is on the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway
reflects the values retrieved via the DHCP protocol.

● dhcp-timeout is the time the MAGBES tries to retrieve IP settings via the DHCP. If this time elapsed
after valid link detection, the MAGBES uses the dhcp-fallback IP Address.
● dhcp-fallback is the IP Address which will be used after the dhcp-timeout has elapsed.
● The value of the <ip-settings> tag is the IP Address.
6.2.2.3 Jumbo Frame
<jumbo-frame>on</jumbo-frame>
The <jumbo-frame> tag switches the jumbo frame support “on” or “off”
6.2.2.4 Telnet CLI
<telnet-cli>on</telnet-cli>
The <telnet-cli> tag switches the telnet based command line interface “on” or “off”
6.2.2.5 Web UI
<webui>on</webui>
The <webui> tag switches the Web based user interface “on” or “off”
6.2.2.6 Hostname
<host-name>Magbes</host-name>
The <host-name> tag contains the host name.
6.2.2.7 Location
<location></location>
The <location> tag contains the location string.
6.2.2.8 Password
<password>bFdVfUzG29dvZJgG+doDfQ==</password>
The <password> tag contains the password. The password is a base64 coded encrypted string.
Note:
There exist no external tool to decrypt or encrypt the password. The only way to get an encrypted
string of new password, is to enter the new password in the MAGBES and download the configuration
file.
6.2.2.9 Login Timeout
<login-time>15</login-time>
The <login-time> tag contains the login timeout in Minutes.
6.2.3 Port section
Main tag:
<port-configuration>
This section contains the settings for the ports:
6.2.3.1 Port
<port id="0" duplex="off" flow-control="off" downshift="off" snmptrap="off">auto</port>
The <port> tag contains the settings of a port:
● id is the port number. Allowed values are “0” to “4”
● duplex is the duplex setting of the port. Allowed values are “ on” or “off”. Note: If the port is set to
auto, this setting is ignored.
● flow-control is the flow control setting of the port. Allowed values are “on” or “off”
● downshift is the downshift setting of the port. Allowed values are “on” or “off”. Note: This setting is
only relevant if the port is set to auto.
● snmp-trap enables/disables the SNMP misc trap on SFP with diagnostic functions. Note: On Copper
port this setting is not allowed.
● The value of this tag is the speed setting of the port. Allowed values are disable, 10M, 100M, 1G and
auto.

6.2.4 Port-Based VLAN section
Main tag:
<port-vlan>
This section contains the port-based VLAN settings:
6.2.4.1 PVLAN
<pvlan id="1" members="p0,p1,p2,p3,p4">default</pvlan>
The <pvlan> tag contains the settings of a port-based VLAN:
● id is the port based VLAN number. Allowed values are “1” to “7” without duplicates.
