2.2.3 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port
without having to power down the Managed Switch. As the Figure 2-2-4 appears.
Figure 2-2-4: Plug-in the SFP transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET Managed switches supports both single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The following list of approved
PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceiver:
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver – Multi mode / 220m)
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 10km)
MGB-L30 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver – Single Mode / 30Km)
MGB-L50 SFP (1000Base-LX SFP transceiver - Single Mode / 50Km)
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is
not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to
1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
¾ To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male duplex
LC connector type.
32
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
¾ To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media
Converter..
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the Link
mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
Remove the transceiver module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consult or check with the network administrator. Or through the
management interface of the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the handle of the MGB module to horizontal.
4. Pull out the module gently through the handle.

3.2 Management Access Overview
The Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
Web browser interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
An administration console
The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the Managed Switch software and are
available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three
management methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Web Browser
SNMP Agent
Console
• Ideal for configuring the switch remotely
• Compatible with all popular browsers
• Can be accessed from any location
• Most visually appealing
• Communicates with switch functions at
the MIB level
• Based on open standards
• No IP address or subnet needed
• Text-based
• Telnet functionality and HyperTerminal
built into Windows
95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP operating
systems
• Secure
• Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the IP address and subnet mask)
• May encounter lag times on poor connections
• Requires SNMP manager software
• Least visually appealing of all three methods
• Some settings require calculations
• Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the community name)
• Must be near switch or use dial-up connection
• Not convenient for remote users
• Modem connection may prove to be unreliable
or slow

User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
3.3 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the switch,
you can access the Managed Switch's Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address
of the Managed Switch.
Figure 3-3-1: Web management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central
location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later.
Figure 3-3-2: Web main screen of Managed Switch
36
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
3.4 SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’sup Gold. This management method requires the
SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This
management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the
SNMP Net-work management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it
only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed
Switch are public.
Figure 3-4-1: SNMP management
3.5 Administration Console (FGSW-2620VM doesn’t support)
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system
administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration
console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the switch's console (serial) port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The following sections
describe these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to Chapter 5 Console Management.
Figure 3-5-1: Console management
37
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port.
When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After
making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
57600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Figure 3-5-2: Terminal parameter settings
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an
emulator such as TIP.
38
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
3.6 Protocols
The Managed Switch supports the following protocols:
Virtual terminal protocols, such as Telnet
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
3.6.1 Virtual Terminal Protocols
A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows you to establish a management session from a
Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP address
configured on the Managed Switch before you can establish access to it with a virtual terminal protocol.
Terminal emulation differs from a virtual terminal protocol in that you must connect a terminal directly
to the console (serial) port.
To access the Managed Switch through a Telnet session:
1. Be Sure of the Managed Switch is configured with an IP address and the Managed Switch is reachable from a
PC.
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC and connect to the Managed Switch.
The management interface is exactly the same with RS-232 console management.
3.6.2 SNMP Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard management protocol for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP
supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between
reporting devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), offering a
connectionless-mode service.
3.6.3 Management Architecture
All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By
unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set using one method (console port, for
example) are immediately displayable by the other management methods (for example, SNMP agent of Web browser).
The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that
the Managed Switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
39
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
4. Web-Based Management
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based management.
4.1 About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0. 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, IE6.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same
the IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via
console, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative
configuration on manager PC.

4.2.2 IP Configuration
The Managed Switch is a network device which needs to be assigned an IP address for being identified on the network.
Users have to decide a means of assigning IP address to the Managed Switch.
IP address overview
What is an IP address?
Each device (such as a computer) which participates in an IP network needs a unique "address" on the network. It's similar
to having a US mail address so other people have a know way to send you messages. An IP address is a four byte number,
which is usually written in "dot notation" - each of the bytes' decimal value is written as a number, and the numbers are
separated by "dots" (aka periods). An example: 199.25.123.1
How do I get one for this box?
The IP addresses on most modern corporate nets are assigned by an employee called a "Network Administrator", or "Sys.
Admin". This person assigns IP addresses and is responsible for making sure that IP addresses are not duplicated - If this
happens one or both machines with a duplicate address will stop working.
Another possibility is getting your address assigned to you automatically over the net via DHCP protocol. Enable DHCP
function, and reset the machine. If your network is set up for this service, you will get an IP address assigned over the
network. If you don't get an address in about 30 seconds, you probably don't have DHCP.
IP Configuration
The IP Configuration includes the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. The Configured column is used to view or
change the IP configuration. Fill up the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the device. The screen in Figure 4-2-3
appears.

by the assigned IP address on DHCP server. After the user clicks Apply, a
popup dialog shows up to inform the user that when the DHCP client is enabled,
the current IP will lose and user should find the new IP on the DHCP server.
Assign the IP address that the network is using.
If DHCP client function is enabled, this switch is configured as a DHCP client.
The network DHCP server will assign the IP address to the switch and display it
in this column.
The default IP is 192.168.0.100 or the user has to assign an IP address
manually when DHCP Client is disabled.
Assign the subnet mask to the IP address.

4.2.4 SNMP Configuration
4.2.4.1 SNMP Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of
management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems,
and plan for network growth.
Figure 4-2-5: SNMP configuration interface
An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMSs), SNMP agents,
Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol：
。 Network management stations (NMSs)： Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute management
applications that monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMSs are usually engineering workstation-caliber
computers with fast CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At least one
NMS must be present in each managed environment.
。 Agents：Agents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store management
information such as the number of error packets received by a network element.
。 Management information base (MIB)：A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information
store. Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules.
。 network-management protocol：A management protocol is used to convey management information between
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
agents and NMSs. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto standard management protocol.
SNMP Operations
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMSs can send multiple requests without receiving a response.
。 Get -- Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.
。 Set -- Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.
。 Trap -- Used by the agent to asynchronously inform the NMS of some event. The SNMPv2 trap message is designed
to replace the SNMPv1 trap message.
SNMP community
An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where
information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. A SNMP device or agent may belong to more than
one SNMP community. It will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its
communities. SNMP default communities are:
。 Write = private
。 Read = public
4.2.4.2 System Options
Use this page to define management stations. You can also define a name, location, and contact person for the Managed
Switch.
Figure 4-2-6: SNMP configuration interface
The page includes the following fields:
Object Description
• System Name
An administratively assigned name for this managed node. By convention, this is
the node's fully-qualified domain name. A domain name is a text string drawn

4.4 VLAN configuration
4.4.1 VLAN Overview
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical scheme rather than the
physical layout. VLAN can be used to combine any collection of LAN segments into an autonomous user group that
appears as a single LAN. VLAN also logically segment the network into different broadcast domains so that packets are
forwarded only between ports within the VLAN. Typically, a VLAN corresponds to a particular subnet, although not
necessarily.
VLAN can enhance performance by conserving bandwidth, and improve security by limiting traffic to specific domains.
A VLAN is a collection of end nodes grouped by logic instead of physical location. End nodes that frequently communicate
with each other are assigned to the same VLAN, regardless of where they are physically on the network. Logically, a VLAN
can be equated to a broadcast domain, because broadcast packets are forwarded to only members of the VLAN on which
the broadcast was initiated.
1. No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes VLAN
membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a routing
function between the VLAN.
2. The Managed Switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port untagging function can be used
to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to maintain compatibility with devices that are
tag-unaware.
The Managed Switch supports IEEE 802.1Q (tagged-based) and Port-Base VLAN setting in web management page. In
the default configuration, VLAN support is “802.1Q”.
Port-based VLAN
Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of
the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.
On port-based VLAN.NIC do not need to be able to identify 802.1Q tags in packet headers. NIC send and receive normal
Ethernet packets. If the packet's destination lies on the same segment, communications take place using normal Ethernet
protocols. Even though this is always the case, when the destination for a packet lies on another switch port, VLAN
considerations come into play to decide if the packet is dropped by the Switch or delivered.
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the Switch. 802.1Q VLAN require tagging, which enables them to span
the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-compliant).
VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains. All packets entering a VLAN will
only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are members of that VLAN, and this includes
broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown sources.
VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN will only deliver packets between stations
72
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
that are members of the VLAN. Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE
802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don't recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging
feature allows VLAN to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning
Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.
Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to

multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all
ports and work normally.
Some relevant terms:
- Tagging - The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet.
- Untagging - The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information out of the packet header.
802.1Q VLAN Tags
The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets inserted after the source MAC address.
Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 in the Ether Type field. When a packet's Ether Type field is equal to
0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag. The tag is contained in the following two octets and consists of 3
bits of user priority, 1 bit of Canonical Format Identifier (CFI - used for encapsulating Token Ring packets so they can be
carried across Ethernet backbones), and 12 bits of VLAN ID (VID). The 3 bits of user priority are used by 802.1p. The VID
is the VLAN identifier and is used by the 802.1Q standard. Because the VID is 12 bits long, 4094 unique VLAN can be
identified.
The tag is inserted into the packet header making the entire packet longer by 4 octets. All of the information originally
contained in the packet is retained.

The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original Ether Type/Length or

must be recalculated.

Port VLAN ID
Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted from one 802.1Q compliant network
device to another with the VLAN information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span network devices (and indeed, the
entire network – if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).
Every physical port on a switch has a PVID. 802.1Q ports are also assigned a PVID, for use within the switch. If no VLAN
are defined on the switch, all ports are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID equal to 1. Untagged packets are
assigned the PVID of the port on which they were received. Forwarding decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as
VLAN are concerned. Tagged packets are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. Tagged packets are
also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is.
Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on the network. The switch will compare the
VID of a packet to be transmitted to the VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If the two VID are different the switch
will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for untagged packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware
and tag-unaware network devices can coexist on the same network.
A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch has memory in its VLAN table to store them.
Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made at each port on a tag-aware device
before packets are transmitted – should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is connected
to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the
packet should be tagged.
Default VLANs
The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all ports on the
Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in Port-based mode, their respective member ports are removed from
the "default."
VLAN and Link aggregation Groups
In order to use VLAN segmentation in conjunction with port link aggregation groups, you can first set the port link
aggregation group(s), and then you may configure VLAN settings. If you wish to change the port link aggregation grouping
with VLAN already in place, you will not need to reconfigure the VLAN settings after changing the port link aggregation
74
User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
group settings. VLAN settings will automatically change in conjunction with the change of the port link aggregation group
settings.
4.4.2 Static 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 Managed Switch supports Port-based and 802.1Q (Tagged-based) VLAN in web management page. In the default
configuration, VLAN support is “802.1Q”.
Figure 4-4-1: Static VLAN interface
1 No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes
VLAN membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a
routing function between the VLAN.
2 The Switch supports Port-based VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port untagging
function can be used to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to maintain
compatibility with devices that are tag-unaware.

User’s Manual of FGSW-Series
4.4.3 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.

4.4.4 802.1Q 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 frames. Tag contains
a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create and delete Tag-based VLAN. 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.
Understand nomenclature of the Switch
■ IEEE 802.1Q Tagged and Untagged
Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagged or untagged.
• Tagged
• Untgged
Frame Leave
Leave port is tagged Frame remains tagged Tag is inserted
Leave port is untagged Tag is removed Frame remain untagged
Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the
header of all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port
will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the
tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make
packet-forwarding decisions.
Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into those
ports. If the packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus,
all packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN
information. (Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is
used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network
device.

4.4.5 Q-in-Q VLAN
■ IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (Q-in-Q)
IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (QinQ) is designed for service providers carrying traffic for multiple customers across their
networks. QinQ tunneling is used to maintain customer-specific VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations even when
different customers use the same internal VLAN IDs. This is accomplished by inserting Service Provider VLAN (SPVLAN)
tags into the customer’s frames when they enter the service provider’s network, and then stripping the tags when the
frames leave the network.
A service provider’s customers may have specific requirements for their internal VLAN IDs and number of VLANs supported.
VLAN ranges required by different customers in the same service-provider network might easily overlap, and traffic passing
through the infrastructure might be mixed. Assigning a unique range of VLAN IDs to each customer would restrict customer
configurations, require intensive processing of VLAN mapping tables, and could easily exceed the maximum VLAN limit of
4096.
The Managed Switch supports multiple VLAN tags and can therefore be used in MAN applications as a provider bridge,
aggregating traffic from numerous independent customer LANs into the MAN (Metro Access Network) space. One of the
purposes of the provider bridge is to recognize and use VLAN tags so that the VLANs in the MAN space can be used
independent of the customers’ VLANs. This is accomplished by adding a VLAN tag with a MAN-related VID for frames
entering the MAN. When leaving the MAN, the tag is stripped and the original VLAN tag with the customer-related VID is
again available.
This provides a tunneling mechanism to connect remote costumer VLANs through a common MAN space without
interfering with the VLAN tags. All tags use EtherType 0x8100 or 0x88A8, where 0x8100 is used for customer tags and
0x88A8 are used for service provider tags.
In cases where a given service VLAN only has two member ports on the switch, the learning can be disabled for the
particular VLAN and can therefore rely on flooding as the forwarding mechanism between the two ports. This way, the MAC
table requirements is reduced.

4.4.5.2 Q-in-Q Tunnel Setting
Business customers of service providers often have specific requirements for VLAN IDs and the number of VLANs to be
supported. The VLAN ranges required by different customers in the same service-provider network might overlap, and
traffic of customers through the infrastructure might be mixed. Assigning a unique range of VLAN IDs to each customer
would restrict customer configurations and could easily exceed the VLAN limit (4096) of the IEEE 802.1Q specification.
Using the QinQ feature, service providers can use a single VLAN to support customers who have multiple VLANs.
Customer VLAN IDs are preserved, and traffic from different customers is segregated within the service-provider network,
even when they appear to be in the same VLAN. Using QinQ expands VLAN space by using a VLAN-in-VLAN hierarchy
and retagging the tagged packets. A port configured to support QinQ is called a QinQ user-port. A port configured to support
QinQ Uplink is called a QinQ uplink-port.

4.5 Trunking
Port trunking is the combination of several ports or network cables to expand the connection speed beyond the limits of any
one single port or network cable. The Managed Switch supports two types of port trunk technology:
Static Trunk
LACP
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 connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires
full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.

There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the trunk
group.
Enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP trunk
group has to make an agreement with its member ports first.
Disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of having
the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any
handshaking with its member ports; but member ports won’t know that they
should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk group.

exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be aggregated if working
ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP), the number of work ports must
equal the total number of group member ports.

4.6 Forwarding and Filtering
The frames of Ethernet Packets contain a MAC address (SMAC address), which shows the MAC address of the equipment
sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically update the MAC table with these dynamic
MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed from the MAC table if no frames with the corresponding SMAC address
have been seen after a configurable age time.
4.6.1 Dynamic MAC Table
Entries in the MAC Table are shown on this page. The Dynamic MAC Table contains up to 8192 entries, and is sorted first
by VLAN ID, then by MAC address. You can view all of the dynamic MAC addresses learned by the listed port.

4.7 Static Multicast Table
Static Multicast Table is a feature for user to force steaming multicast stream to indicate port. When you add a static
multicast address, it remains in the multicast group table, regardless of whether the multicast stream has been joined or
hasn’t been joined. The static multicast group will be saved to switch and it will not be released, even no one join it or even
the multicast group no more streaming, unless user delete it.
How to delete static multicast group? User has to input the multicast address, port and VID again then press Delete button.

4.8 IGMP Snooping
4.8.1 Theory
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) lets host and routers share information about multicast groups
memberships. IGMP snooping is a switch feature that monitors the exchange of IGMP messages and copies them to the
CPU for feature processing. The overall purpose of IGMP Snooping is to limit the forwarding of multicast frames to only
ports that are a member of the multicast group.
About the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping
Computers and network devices that want to receive multicast transmissions need to inform nearby routers that they will
become members of a multicast group. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to communicate this
information. IGMP is also used to periodically check the multicast group for members that are no longer active. In the case
where there is more than one multicast router on a sub network, one router is elected as the ‘queried’. This router then
keeps track of the membership of the multicast groups that have active members. The information received from IGMP is
then used to determine if multicast packets should be forwarded to a given sub network or not. The router can check, using
IGMP, to see if there is at least one member of a multicast group on a given subnet work. If there are no members on a sub
network, packets will not be forwarded to that sub network.
