3.1 Overview

This chapter gives an overview of switch management. The GSW-2416SF provides a user-friendly, command line under console interface and Simply WEB browser interface. Using these interfaces, you can perform various switch configuration and management activities, including:
z Port configuration z VLAN Add/Remove/Assign z Flow Control Enable/Disable z Port Trunk Create/Assign ( WEB GUI supported ) z System IP address setting. z Management account and password setting. z Port status/static monitoring z System reboot and reload factory default.
Please refer to the following Chapter 4 and 5 for the details.

3.2 Management Methods

There are two ways to manage the GSW-2416SF:
- Local Console Management via the Switch serial port.
- Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.
3.2.1 Local Console Management
You can manage the GSW-2416SF locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or workstation with terminal emulation software, to the Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation connects to the Sw itch serial port using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end. This management method is ideal when:
- The network is unreliable.
- The Network Manager does not have direct network connection.
The serial port of the Switch default setting is set to 19200 baud using a character format of 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the GSW-2416SF. You can change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.

N Tag:
VLA
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.
To set the outgoing frames are VLAN-Tagged frames or untagged.
Tag: outgoing frames with VLAN-Tagged. UnTag: outgoing frames without VLAN-Tagged.
PVID:
Set the PVID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you want to participate in the VLAN but that don't support tagging. The switch each port allows user to set one PVID, the range is 0~4095, default VLAN ID is 0. The PVID must as same as the VLAN ID that the port belong to VLAN group( See chapter 5.3 – VLAN Setup), or the untagged traffic will be dropped.

6. SWITCH OPERATION

6.1 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.

6.2 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.

6.3 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. Thereby increasing the network throughput and availability.

6.4 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. How ever, the sw itch 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.

6.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the GSW-2416SF Switch have built-in “Auto-negotiation”. This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another netw ork 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-dupl
ex mode.

7.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
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 t
Perf
ormance is bad
So
lution: 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

100Base-TX port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular

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
So
lution: Check the LNK/ACT LED on the switch Try another port on the Switch Make sure the cable is installed properly Ma sure the cable is the right type T
