can clear 8 counters or packet seize counters of some ports by select the corresponding
"Clear" check boxes then press "Clear" button. To clear all counters of all ports, press the
"Select All" button then "Clear" button.

16

4.6 VLAN

A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the
same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroup to be defined on the basis of their
logical location instead of their physical location, and does not require recalling
The default VLAN is that all ports belong to VLAN 1. This switch support up to 4095 port-based

802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs).

In the VLAN management window, you will see 2 VLANs in the page. To select a certain VLAN,
you can do the following:

Ø Press ">>" button to display the next two VLANs
Ø Press "<<" button to display the previous two VLANs
Ø Press ">>|" button to display the last two VLANs
Ø Press "|<<" button to display the first two VLANs
Ø Enter the VLAN index in the "VLAN" edit box then press "Go to" button

You can add, edit and remove port members of each VLAN and then finally press "Apply"
button only once to configure the desired VLANs you want.

Note: if you want to set multiple VLANs, we suggest that you set Default VLAN ID for each port

first in Ports page.

4.7 Trunk

Port trunking is the ability to group several 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX ports to increase
the bandwidth between this switch and another compatible switch. This is an inexpensive way
to increase bandwidth. We define port trunking as the ability to group set of ports (up to 8 )
within the same module into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as a single link between
switches. Multiple trunks may be implemented in this switch, but only one trunk can be created
within a module.

17

You can add, edit and remove port members of each trunk and then press "Apply" button after
you have finished configuring the trunks you need.
(Note: Make sure trunking ports are in the same VLAN group. )

4.8 STP

Spanning tree is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing
undesirable loops in the network. For Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one
active path must exist between two stations.
The spanning-tree algorithm calculates the best loop-free path throughout a switched network.
STP forces redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If a network segment in the
spanning tree fails and a redundant path exists, the spanning-tree algorithm recalculates the
spanning tree topology and activates the standby path.

18

If you want to participate in spanning tree, have the "Enable Spanning Tree Protocol"
checkbox selected.
The Current Spanning Tree Root describes the unique root switch information for the instance
of spanning tree.

Ø MAC Address: the MAC address of the root switch
Ø Root Priority: The priority of the root switch
Ø Root Max age (sec): the amount of time (in seconds) protocol information received on a

port is stored by the root switch

Ø Root Hello Time: how often the root switch broadcasts Hello message to other switches
Ø Root Forward Delay: the amount of time a port will remain in the listening and learning

states before entering the forwarding state

Ø Root Path Cost: the path cost to the root switch from this switch
Ø Root Port: the port providing the best path from the switch to the root switch

The Spanning Tree Bridge Configuration describes this switch information in the spanning tree

Note: Priority, Max Age Time, Hello Time and Forward Delay are unchangeable on this device.

4.9 Port Security

This function allows you to restrict specific MAC addresses to reside in some port. For
example, a dummy hub is attached to some port for extension, and you just only allow 2 users
to access this port at the same time, you can use the port security window to set the
parameters.

To restrict the number of MAC address to reside in a port, you must do the following

Ø Click the “ Enable “ checkbox for that port. IF the “ Enable “checkbox is uncheck,

19

there is no MAC address count restriction for that port.

Ø Type the number in the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count “ edit for that port. The

upper bound of this number is the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count per port “

Ø Press the “ Press “ button
Ø The “ Used Count “ will tell you how many MAC address residing in the

corresponding port now.

Note: A trunked port is not allowed to enable the port security option.

4.10 Priority – 802.1p

There are two priority queues (high and low) on each port. Each port arbitrates between two
transmit queues (high and low priority).
The arbitration uses weighted round-robin between the high and low priority queues, and you
can adjust this weight.

Programmable Mapping of 802.1p to Internal Priority

The received packets with 802.1q tag are assigned priority according to a flexible and
programmable mapping of the 802.1p user-priority tag (3 bits, value from 0 to 7) to the internal
priority queue. The default is to assign a packet to high priority queue when the 802.1p
user-priority tag is 4 to 7, and to low priority queue when the 802.1p user-priority tag is 0 to 3.
Please check the corresponding mapping checkbox to assign a high priority or uncheck that to
assign a low priority.

4.11 Priority 2 – TOS (Type of Service)

Each port can parse the header of an incoming IPv4 header and identify the Type-Of-Service
byte (TOS field). This is extremely important with the deployment of Microsoft Windows 2000
and the emerging DiffServ standard, which marks Voice-Over-IP and other real-time traffic
using this field. This feature provides Quality of Service (QoS).

20

IF this function of a port is enabled, then the most significant 6 bits of the TOS (these 6 bits are
also known as the DiffServ Code Point "DSCP" field, value from 0 to 63) are used to assign a
priority to the packet received from this port. Please check the corresponding mapping
checkbox to assign a high priority or uncheck that to assign a low priority.

4.12 IGMP

IGMP is used in multicast communication network applications where one or more servers, for
example, video servers, generate multicast traffic. If you want your switch to support
multimedia and IP multicast, enable this option (default is enabled). When this option is
enabled, this switch only directs the multicast data packets to the ports where needed, saving
bandwidth. If "Forward with high priority" option is enabled, then the IP multicast traffic will
have a higher priority than other traffic.

21

4.13 Static Address

In this function, you can lock a certain MAC address (associated with a host) to a certain port.
Once a certain MAC address is locked to a certain port, this MAC address will not receive any
packets if it is moved to another port

Static addresses are manually entered into the Static Address Table
Ø Enter the MAC address in the MAC Address field (ex. 00-00-00-00-00-01) and VLAN ID

(default is 1)

Ø Select the Module and Port you want to associate with this entry with from the Port

drop-down box.

Ø Click “<<Add” button
Ø Press “ Apply “ button.

4.14 Storm Filter

Storm Filter can avoid any flooded data packets. This feature prevents the bursts of broadcast
traffic. Excessive broadcast packets (Broadcast Storms) can be filtered in our managed switch
by enabling the "Broadcast Storm Filtering" option.

22

4.15 Port Mirror

If you want to monitor all receive and transmit packets of one port. You can do the following:

Ø Choose the monitored port in "Mirror Source Port" choice box in the corresponding mirror

source module. Only one port can be monitored in one module at the same time

Ø Choose the corresponding target module, port in "Mirror Target Module" and "Mirror

Target Port" choice box.

Ø Click the corresponding "Enabled" check box.
Ø Press "Apply" button

23

4.16 IP Config

You can change the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of the managed node. (You
can also do that from RS232 console). Enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
in the corresponding edit box

If you want to change the user name or password for the managed node, the following steps is
needed:

Ø Click the "Change Password" checkbox
Ø Enter the user name in "Username" edit box
Ø Enter the same password in "Password" and "Confirm Password" edit box
Ø Press the "Apply" button

You should reboot system to let your settings take effect if you have changed one of the IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway

24

4.17 SNMP

You can manage the Switch using third-party’s SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
agent. Access rights to the SNMP agent are controlled by community strings.
To set system name, system location and system contact, you can type the desired text string
in the corresponding edit box.

4.18 Save & Reboot

You can save current settings by click the "Current Settings" checkbox then press the "Apply"
button next to the checkbox. You should reboot the system so that your current settings will
take effect.
