4.5 VLANs

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 Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports 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

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.

4.6 Rapid Spanning Tree

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP also provides one path

between end stations on a network, eliminating loops.

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) - While Classic Spanning Tree guarantees preventing L2 forwarding loops in a

general network topology, convergence can take up to 30-60 seconds. The convergence time is considered too long for

many applications. When network topology allows, faster convergence may be possible. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses of network topologies that provide faster convergence of the spanning tree, without

creating forwarding loops.

The devices support the following Spanning Tree protocols:

‧ Compatiable -- Spanning Tr ee Protocol (STP):Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and

eliminating loops.

‧ Normal -- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) : Detects and uses of network topologies that provide

faster spanning tree convergence, without creating forwarding loops.

#Notice:

This page is to enable/disable the Spanning Tree protocol. The switch support IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree (STP), IEEE

802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP). The screen in Figure 4-23 appears.

The Gigabit Ethernet Switch implement the Rapid Spanning Protocol as the default spanning tree

protocol. While select “Compatibles” mode, the system use the RSTP (802.1w) to compatible and

co work with another STP (802.1d)’s BPDU control packets.

• Path Cost

Indicate port 1 to port 24.

Indicates whether the port is enabled as an edge port.

Edge port cannot create loops, but it loses edge port status if a topology change creates a potential for a loop. An edge port normally should not receive BPDU packets. If a BPDU packet is received it automatically loses edge port status.

The port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path being rerouted.

Value Rage : 1-20000000.

Default Path Cost -- The default path cost of the port is automatically set by the port speed and the default path cost method. The default values for path costs are:

4.7 Link Aggregat ion

Port Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single Link Aggregated Groups

(LAGs). Port Aggregation multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link

redundancy.

Each LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, set to full-duplex operations. Ports in a LAG, can be of different media

types (UTP/Fiber, or different fiber types), provided they operate at the same speed.

Aggregated Links can be assigned manually (Port Trunk ) or automatically by enabling Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the relevant links.

Aggregated Links are treated by the system as a single logical port. Specifically, the Aggregated Link has similar port

attributes to a non-aggregated port, including auto-negotiation, speed, Duplex setting, etc.

The device supports the following Aggregation links :

 Static LAGs (Port Trunk) – Force aggregared selected ports to be a trounk group.  Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) LAGs - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other

LACP ports located on a different device. If the other device ports are also LACP ports, the devices establish a

LAG between them.

4.7.1 Port Trunk

This function provides to cascade two Switch devices with a double bandwidth.

 4 Trunk Group per system, up to 8 ports per Trunk Group.

The Port Trunking configuration screen in Figure 4-29 appears.

A port can be assigned to only one Trunk Group.

4.7.2 LACP

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other LACP ports located on

a different device. If the other device ports are also LACP ports, the devices establish a LAG between them.

The LACP Port Configuration page contains fields for assigning LACP properties to individual ports. The screen in Figure

#Notice:

When using a port link aggregation, note that:

• The ports that can be assigned to the same link aggregation have certain other restrictions (see below).

• Ports can only be assigned to one link aggregation.

• The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as link aggregation ports.

• None of the ports in a link aggregation can be configured as a mirror source port or a mirror

target port.

• All of the ports in a link aggregation have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN.

• The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat all the ports in a link aggregation as a whole.

• Disconnect all link aggregation port cables or disable the link aggregation ports before removing

a port link aggregation to avoid creating a data loop.

Indicate port 1 to port 8.

To Enable or disable the LCAP protocol on a selected port. Once the LACP protocol be enabled, the system will start transmit the LACP control packets and exchange with another LACP aware switch. If the linked switch didn’t support LACP, then the aggregated link will not be established.

The Key Value will be filed in the LACP control packets. Ports with same key value will be set to the same LACP Group. If two ports are set with different key value, they will become two different LCAP groups. The key value will also be the identify ID to the linked LACP switch.

4.8 IGMP Snooping

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.

4.8.1 IGMP Snooping Configuration

The IGMP Configuration page let the administrator to configure the parameters for IGMP Snooping, which is used to build

forwarding lists for multicast traffic. The screen in Figure 4-34 appears.

Enables or disables IGMP global function on the device.

Disabled is the default value.

The Router Ports check box fields for attaching ports to a device that is attached to a neighboring Multicast router/switch. Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are forwarded to the appropriate port .

The function is to set “Enable” or “Disable” to allow the unregistered IP Multicast Group streams to flood to all ports of this switch. The unregistered IP Multicast means that the received Multicast Group address not listed in the Multicast Group Table of the switch.

Enabled is the default value. The switch forwards all the multicast steams to all the

host or linked switch.

Identifies a VLAN and contains information about the Multicast group configuration. Add a new VLAN group and the Table will add the VLAN entry automatically.

Snooping Enabled” and “IGMP Querying Enabled”.

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.

Enabled is the default value.

4.9 Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioritization feature that allows you to establish control over network traffic.

QoS enables you to assign various grades of network service to different types of traffic, such as multi-media, video,

protocol-specific, time critical, and file-backup traffic.

QoS reduces bandwidth limitations, delay, loss, and jitter. It also provides increased reliability for delivery of your data and

allows you to prioritize certain applications across your network. You can define exactly how you want the switch to treat

selected applications and types of traffic.

You can use QoS on your system to:

• Classifying traffic based on packet attributes.

• Assigning priorities to traffic (for example, to set higher priorities to time-critical or business-critical applications).

• Applying security policy through traffic filtering.

• Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications such as video conferencing or voice over IP by

minimizing delay and jitter.

• Improve performance for specific types of traffic and preserve performance as the amount of traffic grows.

• Reduce the need to constantly add bandwidth to the network.

• Manage network congestion.

The QoS Configuration page contains fields for enabling or disabling QoS. In addition, the 802.1p mode or DSCP mode

can be selected. Both the two mode rely on predefined fields within the packet to determine the output queue.

 Queue Mode - This indicates that traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based strictly or WRR ( Weight

Round Robin ) on the queue priority.

 QoS Disabled - Disables managing network traffic using Quality of Service.  802.1p Mode –The output queue assignment is determined by the IEEE802.1p VLAN priority tag.  DSCP Mode - The output queue assignment is determined by the DSCP field.

#Notice:

The QoS Configuration page in Figure 4-37 appears.

The current version of GSD-800S/GSD-802S/GSD-802PS support QoS Strict mode only. The strict

mode is to specifies if traffic scheduling is based strictly on the queue priority.

4.10 802.1X Management

The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch supports IEEE 802.1X Port-base network access control and RADIUS server

authentication to enhance the host link more security. An 802.1X Infrastructure is composed of three major components:

Authenticator, Authentication server, and Supplicant.

Authentication server – (RADIUS Server): An entity that provides an authentication service to an authenticator. This

service determines, from the credentials provided by the supplicant, whether the supplicant is authorized to access the services provided by the authenticator.

Authenticator-(GSD-800S): An entity at one end of a point-to-point LAN segment that facilitates authentication of the

entity attached to the other end of that link.

Supplicant-(A Host Client): An entity at one end of a point-to-point LAN segment that is being authenticated by an

authenticator attached to the other end of that link.

The instructions are divided into three parts:

The above graph shows the network topology of the solution we are going to introduce. As illustrated, a group of clients is

trying to build a network with Switch in order to have access to both Internet and Intranet. With 802.1X authentication,

each of these clients would have to be authenticated by RADIUS server. If the client is authorized, Switch would be

notified to open up a communication port to be used for the client. There are 2 Extensive Authentication Protocol (EAP)

methods supported: (1) MD5 and (2) TLS.

MD5 authentication is simply a validation of existing user account and password that is stored in a database of RADIUS

server. Therefore, clients will be prompted for account/password validation to build the link. TLS authentication is a more

complicated authentication, which is using certificate that is issued by RADIUS server for authentication. TLS

authentication is a more secure authentication, since not only RADIUS server authenticates the client, but also the client

can validate RADIUS server by the certificate that it issues. The TLS authentication request from clients and reply by

Radius Server and Switch can be briefed as follows:

1. The client sends an EAP start message to Web-Smart Switch.

2. Web-Smart Switch replies with an EAP Request ID message.

3. The client sends its Network Access Identifier (NAI) – its user name – to Web-Smart Switch in an EAP Respond message.

4. Web-Smart Switch forwards the NAI to the RADIUS server with a RADIUS Access Request message.

5. The RADIUS server responds to the client with its digital certificate.

6. The client validates the digital certificate, and replies its own digital certificate to the RADIUS server.

7. The RADIUS server validates client’s digital certificate.

User’s Manual of GSD-800S / GSD-802S / GSD-802PS

8. The client and RADIUS server derive encryption keys.

9. The RADIUS server sends Web-Smart Switch a RADIUS ACCEPT message.

10. Web-Smart Switch sends the client an EAP Success message along with the broadcast key and key length.

4.12.6 Cable Diagnostics

The Cable Diagnostics page contains fields for performing tests on copper cables. These functions have the ability to

identify the cable length and operating conditions, and to isolate a variety of common faults that can occur on the Cat5

twisted-pair cabling. There might be two statuses as follow:

 If the link is established on the twisted-pair interface in 1000BASE-T mode, the Cable Diagnostics can run without

disruption of the link or of any data transfer.

 If the link is established in 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T, the Cable Diagnostics cause the link to drop while the

diagnostics are running.

After the diagnostics are finished, the link is reestablished. And the following functions are available.

• Coupling between cable pairs.

• Cable pair termination

• Cable Length

Anomalous coupling between cable pairs can be caused by shorted wires, improper termination, or high crosstalk

resulting from an incorrect wire map. These conditions can all prevent the PLANET switch from establishing a link. The

screen in Figure 4-59 appears.

Figure 4-59 Cable Diagnostics

The Cable Diagnostics includes the following fields:

• Port

• Mode

The Cable status includes the following items:

Specifies the port numbers for which to run the cable diagnostics.

There’re three cable test mode for selection:

Full – test full pairs. Anomaly – test with only anomaly pairs. Anomaly w/o X-pair - test anomaly pairs but without X-pair.

User’s Manual of GSD-800S / GSD-802S / GSD-802PS

• Pair

• Length[m]

• Status

The twist pair of the UTP cable. The pair groups as follow:

A (Pin 1,2) B (Pin 3,6) C (Pin 4,5) D (Pin 7,8)

When properly terminated, Cable Diagnostics reports the approximate cable length in meters of each of the four cable pair A, B, C, and D.

The cable test results. Possible values are:

• Proper - The cable passed the test.

• Open - The cable is connected on only one side or there is no cable connected

to the port

• Short - A short has occurred in the cable. With 10/100BASE link, the status of

Pair C and Pair D will be “Short”.

• Abnormal termination – An improper termination be detected. Proper

termination of Cat5 cable requires a 100

Ω differential impedance between the positive and negative cable terminals. IEEE Std 802.3 allows for a termination of as large as 115Ω or as small as 85Ω. If the termination falls out of this range, it is reported as falls an anomalous termination.

#Notice:

Be sure to running the Cable diagnostics with standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable. With some of the UTP cables that not match the standard of Cat 5e, it might cause the 10/100Base link down after the cable diagnostics.

4.14 PoE Configuration ( GSD-802PS Only)

The GSD-802PS is an 8 ports PoE Layer 2 Web Smart switch, it supports up to 8 ports PoE Power source (PSE) to supply

PoE power for the connected Power Device (PD).

 Power Management:

In a power over Ethernet system, operating power is applied from a power source (PSU-power supply unit) over the LAN

infrastructure to powered devices (PDs), which are connected to ports. Under some conditions, the total output power

required by PDs can exceed the maximum available power provided by the PSU. The system may a prior be planed with

a PSU capable of supplying less power than the total potential power consumption of all the PoE ports in the system. In

order to maintain the majority of ports active, power management is implemented.

The PSU input power consumption is monitored by measuring voltage and current .The input power consumption is equal

to the system’s aggregated power consumption .The power management concept allows all ports to be active and

activates additional ports, as long as the aggregated power of the system is lower than the power level at which additional

PDs cannot be connected .When this value is exceeded, ports will be deactivated, according to user-defined priorities.

The power budget is managed according to the following user-definable parameters: maximum available power, ports

priority, maximum allowable power per port.

This section provides PoE (Power over Ethernet) Configuration and PoE output status of GSD-802PS, screen in Figure

4-69 appears. After setup completed, please press “Apply” button to take effect.

5. SWITCH OPERATION

5.1 Address Table

The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to

store the address information of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from

the learning process of Ethernet Switch.

5.2 Learning

When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related

information in address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.

5.3 Forwarding & Filtering

When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination address besides the

source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will lookup the address-table for the destination address. If not found,

this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port, which this packet comes in. And these ports will transmit

this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at different port from this packet

comes in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is located according to

the information from address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet comes in,

then this packet will be filtered. There by increasing the network throughput and availability.

5.4 Store-and-Forward

Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward Ethernet Switching stores the

incoming frame in an internal buffer, do the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets

occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the

incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting

servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly

used to segment existing hubs, which nearly always improves overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily

configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using conventional cabling and adapters.

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source address and corresponding port number of each

incoming and outgoing packet are stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose

destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic to its respective domain,

reducing the overall load on the network.

The Switch performs "Store and forward" therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission

rate. No packet loss will occur.

User’s Manual of GSD-800S / GSD-802S / GSD-802PS

5.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology automatically sets the best possible

bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by

detect the modes and speeds at the second of both device is connected and capable of, both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX

devices can connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can be only connected in Full-duplex

mode.

5-6 IGMP Snooping

Theory

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.

IGMP Versions 1 and 2

Multicast groups allow members to join or leave at any time. IGMP provides the method for members and multicast routers

to communicate when joining or leaving a multicast group.

IGMP version 1 is defined in RFC 1112. It has a fixed packet size and no optional data.

The format of an IGMP packet is shown below:

IGMP Message Format

Octets

0 8 16 31

Type Response Time

Group Address (all zeros if this is a query)

The IGMP Type codes are shown below:

Type Meaning 0x11 Membership Query (if Group Address is 0.0.0.0) 0x11 Specific Group Membership Query (if Group Address is Present) 0x16 Membership Report (version 2)

Checksum

0x17 Leave a Group (version 2) 0x12 Membership Report (version 1)

IGMP packets enable multicast routers to keep track of the membership of multicast groups, on their respective sub

networks. The following outlines what is communicated between a multicast router and a multicast group member using

IGMP.

A host sends an IGMP “report” to join a group

User’s Manual of GSD-800S / GSD-802S / GSD-802PS

A host will never send a report when it wants to leave a group (for version 1).

A host will send a “leave” report when it wants to leave a group (for version 2).

Multicast routers send IGMP queries (to the all-hosts group address: 224.0.0.1) periodically to see whether any group

members exist on their sub networks. If there is no response from a particular group, the router assumes that there are no

group members on the network.

The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of query messages is set to 1 so that the queries will not be forwarded to other sub networks.

IGMP version 2 introduces some enhancements such as a method to elect a multicast queried for each LAN, an explicit

leave message, and query messages that are specific to a given group.

The states a computer will go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below:

Non-Member

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains information to help you solve problems. If the Switch is not functioning properly, make sure the

Ethernet Switch was set up according to instructions in this manual.

The Link LED is not lit

Solution:

Check the cable connection and remove duplex mode of the Switch.

Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port

Solution:

Please check the VLAN, port trunking function that may introduce this kind of problem.

Performance is bad

Solution:

Check the full duplex status of the Ethernet Switch. If the Ethernet Switch is set to full duplex and the partner is set to

half duplex, then the performance will be poor.

100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irreg u lar

Solution:

Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch to

change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

Why the Switch doesn’t connect to the network

Solution:

Check the LNK/ACT LED on the switch .Try another port on the Switch. Make sure the cable is installed properly

Make sure the cable is the right type Turn off the power. After a while, turn on power again.
