It offers advanced management features and allow users to manage the Modular Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. For more information, See Section 5 Web-Based Management.

SNMP Network Management

SNMP ( Simple Network Management Protocol ) provides a means to monitor and control network device, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance, and security. Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software processes reporting activity in each network device to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent return information contained in a MIB ( Management Information Base ), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled.

RS-232 Console

This Console port is used to connect a management station or terminal with the switch. Out-of-band management means go through the RS-232 port. For more information about switch management, see Section 4 “ Connecting to the Network ”.

Software Concepts

Static Address

This feature allows you to enter the addresses that will not be aged out. It can confine users on certain ports specified by the system manager, so that they cannot switch to other ports.

Sp anning T ree

Spanning Tr ee Protocol (STP) is an industry standard that prevents loops configurations in switched networks. The Spanning Tree algorithm creates a single path through network by making sure that if more than one path exists between parts of a network, only one of those paths is used. This also permits multiple interswitch links to remain active for data transport while operating in conjunction with the Spanning Tr ee algorithm. The IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol support for redundant backbone connections and loop-free networks simplifies network configuration and improves fault tolerance.

Virtual LANs ( VLANs )

A VLAN is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroups to be defined on the basis of their logical function instead of their physical location, and does not require recabling. It also enables you to configure port-based VLANs to help isolate broad- cast traffic and increase security, so as to increase bandwidth to each station. VLAN also helps you create limited broadcast domains, to prevent traffic from being forwarded to stations where it is not needed.

Port T runking

Port Trunking allows you to build higher bandwidth connections by

aggregate several ports into one single group. Additionally, it may be more cost-effective to trunk multiple lower speed links than to underutilize a gigabit port. Available copper links and supported distances are more pervasive for lower speed links. For example, 100Mbps NICs and switch ports are less expensive than 1Gbps equipment. Port trunking also allows end users to protect their investment in existing infrastructure by reusing current equipment.

SNMP

( Simple Network Management Protocol ) A widely-used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device ( hub, router, bridge, etc. ) to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a MIB ( Management Information Base ), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled ( turned off, on, etc.). Originating in the UNIX community, SNMP has become widely used on all major platforms.

Port Mirror

Port mirror allows user to define a destination port and a target port , all the packet on the target port will be copy and resend to destination port, it make user can monitor the packet and won’t effect the bandwidth of target port.

IGMP

Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) is used to support real-time applications such as video conferencing or streaming audio. IGMP allow you to query for any attached hosts who want to receive a specific multicast service. The switch looks up the IP Multicast Group used for this service and adds any port which

received a similar request to that group. It then propagates the service request on to any neighboring multicast switch to ensure that it will continue to receive the multicast service.

Port Security

Port Security allow you to restrict specific MAC addresses to reside in some port. The mean is only packet that with pre-defined MAC address will be received by the port. It allows user by manual input the MAC address table.

Priority

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.

Broadcast Storm Filter

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

3. Network Configuration

This chapter provides 3 network configuration examples by using the Modular Switch:

 Collapsed Backbone Application  Departmental Bridge Application  Virtual LAN (VLAN) Application

The switch provides versatile configuration options for the network. It is ideally suited as a workgroup or segment switch in a network; it aggregate traffic from workgroup switches, or provide dedicated 100Mbps to servers with bandwidth-intensive applications. And because all Fast Ethernet ports auto-negotiate for operation at 100 Mbps or 1000Mbps ( Gigabit ) the switch is perfectly suited to an evolving network environment where demand for network speed is increasing.

Collapsed Backbone Application

For small network where substantial growth can be expected in the near future, this switch is an ideal solution supporting backbone connectivity.

The switch can be used as a standalone switch for a group of heavy traffic users. Switching is brought to the desktop either through a single end-station per switch port or through a multi-port hub. A 100 Mbps server is connected to a port, providing end stations high-speed accessibility to its applications. This configuration provides dedicated 100 Mbps connections to the network center, to the server, and the most up to 24 users.

When the network needs expansion, you can simply daisy-chain the switch to any IEEE 802.3 ( Ethernet ), IEEE 802.3u ( Fast Ethernet ),

IEEE 802.3z ( Gigabit Ethernet ) compliant hub. This switch can also cooperate with a wide range of networking devices (e.g., firewall routers and printer servers) added to the network.

Figure 3-1. Collapsed Backbone Application

Department al Bridge

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. The Modular Switch used as segment switch can alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect to high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth. This switch provides parallel communications between each of its ports, which can run up to 200 or 2000Mbps at full duplex.

The Switch makes key servers available to more users by allowing multiple conversations to occur concurrently, thereby significantly expanding overall network throughput. Moreover, this switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network manager centralize multiple servers in a single location.

Figure 3-2. Departmental Bridge Application

NOTE: Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard cascaded connection set for half-duplex operation.

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application

The switch support up to 4095 port-based 802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs).

Port-based VLAN Workgroup

You can group the switch ports into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN to increase network capacity and performance. With network segmentation, each switch port connect s

to a segment that is a single broadcast domain. Packets received in one VLAN can only be forwarded within that VLAN.

VLAN allows the grouping of end stations logically, based not on physical location but on business policies such as job function or department. Members of a group can be dispersed throughout a facility - they do not have to be connected in close physical locations.

Hence, group members can coordinate their data communication requirements regardless of the actual working locations; and the logical network can extend to any point you want it to. Moreover, VLAN groups can be modified at any time to add, move or change users without any re-cabling.

Figure 3-3. VLAN Workgroup Application

Shared Server

The switch compliant to the IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN standard allows ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared reso urces, such as servers, printers, and switch-to-switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in the following figure.

Figure 3-4. Shared Server

In this example, stations on different VLANs share resour ces. As a result, VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 can access VLAN 3 for printing. The broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN3 can be seen by all VLAN port members of VLAN3.

4. Connecting to the Network

This chapter provides the installation procedure and instructions for assigning IP address. This chapter cont ains following topics:

 Pre-instruction requirements  Mounting the switch  Connecting to the switch  Assigning IP address

 PCs with 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet cards: Your PC must

have a standard Ethernet interface to connect to the switch.

 UTP cable with RJ-45 connector: Check if the cable and

connectors work properly.

 Fiber cable with SC/ST/MT-RJ/VF-45 connector: Check if the

cable and connector types are correct.

 A power outlet: 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. Make sure that

the switch power is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

 Dedicated power supply: Use dedicated power circuits or

power conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network devices.

 A dry cool place: Keep the switch away from moisture. Avoid

direct sunlight, heat source, and high amount of electromagnetic interference around.

 Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the switch on a rack,

make sure you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws.

Mounting the Switch

The Modular Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone.

Desktop Installation

Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.

Attaching Rubber Feet

A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is

grease and dust free.

B. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet. C. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch.

These footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

Figure 4-1. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner

on the bottom of the Switch

Rack Mounting

The Modular Switch come with a rack-mounted kid and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.

Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:

A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the

switch and secure it with the bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch.

Figure 4-2. Figure 2-4. Attach mounting brackets with screws

B. After attached both mounting brackets, position the Switch in the

rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.

Figure 4-3. Figure 2-5. Mount the Modular Switch

in an EIA standard 19-inch Rack

Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.

Power On

After all network cables are connected, plug the power cord into the power socket on the back panel and the other end into a power outlet. Turn the power on using the power switch on the back panel.

Check the front panel Power indicator to see if power is properly supplied. The switch uses a universal power supply that requires no additional adjustment.

Diagnostic Test

After the installation is completed and AC power is applied to the switch, the system will automatically perform a diagnostic test. When the Power LED is on within 5 seconds, the Diagnostic status LEDs will soon flash red.

When the switch passes the self-test within 10 seconds, the Link/ACT LED turns on. If the switch fails the self-test, the Diagnostic LED will blink.

Connecting the Switch

The serial console port is a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the switch. Use the supplied RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector to connect a terminal or PC to the console port. The terminal or PC to be connected must support the terminal emulation program.

You can clear 8 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.

Statistics 2

The statistics 2 page displays the detailed packet size information

about each port. You can compare and evaluate throughput or other port parameters. All screen data is updated automatically and you can also update the data manually.

Figure 5-5-2 The Statistics Page

You can clear 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.

VLAN ( Virtual LAN )

A port-based VLAN is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. If a broadcast packet is received from a port, it will forward this broadcast packet only to those ports belonging to the same VLAN. VLAN classification of every packet is done in the following way: If the packet is tagged with non-zero VLAN-id field then this is used as the VLAN id. Otherwise the default VLAN id of the input port is used. You can assign a single switch port to two or more VLANs. The factory default VLAN is that all ports belong to the same VLAN group 1.

Creating VLANs increases network flexibility by allowing you to reassign devices to accommodate network moves, additions, and changes, eliminating the need to change physical cabling.

The switch support up to 4095 port-based 802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs).

Figure 5-6 The VLAN Page

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

• Press ">>" button to display the next 2 VLANs

• Press "<<" button to display the previous 2 VLANs

• Press ">>|" button to display the last 2 VLANs

• Press "|<<" button to display the first 2 VLANs

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.

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.

Figure 5-7 The Trunk page

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. )

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)

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.

Figure 5-8-1 The STP upper page

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.

MAC Address: the MAC address of the root switch Root Max Age: the amount of time (in seconds) protocol information

received on a port is stored by the root switch Root Hello Time: how often the root switch broadcasts Hello message to other switches Root Forward Delay: the amount of time a port will remain in the listening and learning states before entering the forwarding state

Root Path Cost: the path cost to the root switch from this switch 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.

Priority: the priority of this switch, default is 32768. The smaller this value, the higher priority this switch has.

Max Age: the amount of time (in seconds) protocol information received on a port is stored by the root switch, the default value is 20

Hello Time: how often the root switch broadcasts Hello message to other switches, the default value is 2

Forward Delay: the amount of time a port will remain in the listening and learning states before entering the forwarding state, the default value is 15

The Port Configuration describes those ports information in this switch in the spanning tree.

• Priority: the port priority. The smaller this value, the higher

priority this port has.

• Learning: if you want to learn fast, check this checkbox

• State: this state of this port. Each port on a switch using STP

exists in one of the following five states:

o Listening o Learning o Forwarding o Blocking o Disabled

Path Cost: the cost of this port. The smaller this value, the higher

•

cost this port has. 4 for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 for Fast Ethernet and FDDI

• Root Cost: The cost to the root.

Figure 5-8-1 The STP lower page

Note: when you enable the spanning tree protocol, because all ports in the switch will listen and learn, you may lose communication to the switch you are managing. Wait about 2 times forward delay (2*15 seconds), you get the communication again.

Port Security

Port Security allow 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.

Figure 5-9. The Port Security page

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

 Click the “ Enable “ checkbox for that port. IF the “ Enable

“checkbox is uncheck, there is no MAC address count restriction for that port.

 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 “

 Press the “ Press “ button  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.

Priority

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 (fixed for the old 48310 and 48320 module) 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.

Figure 5-10. Port Priority – 802.1p page

Priority 2

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).

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. The old 48310 and 48320 modules do not support this function.

Figure 5-11. Port Priority – Type of Service

IGMP (IP Multicast)

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.

Figure 5-12 The IGMP page

St atic Address

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.

1. Enter the MAC address in the MAC Address field (ex.

00-11-22-33-44-55).

2. Select the Module and Port you want to associate with this entry

with from the Port drop-down box.

3. Select VLAN Groups.

4. Click <<Add…<<.

Note: You can apply the previous steps to add/remove Static Address manually.

Figure 5-13 The Static Address page

Broadcast Storm Filter

Excessive broadcast packets (broadcast storms) can be filtered in our managed switch by enabling the "Broadcast Storm Filtering" option.

When this option is enabled, if more than 3000 packets per second broadcast packets sent to a port lasts 5 seconds, this port will not receive any broadcast packets until less than 3000 packets per second broadcast packets received lasts 5 seconds. If a broadcast storm happens to a port, you will see a red "BS" text appearing in the corresponding (module, port) cell, otherwise a "-" text.

Figure 5-14 The Broadcast Storm Filter page

Port Mirror

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

• 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

• Choose the corresponding target module, port in "Mirror Target

Module" and "Mirror Target Port" choice box.

6.SNMP Management

This section describes how to configure and manage the switch by accessing Management Information Base (MIB) objects with the SNMP protocol.

SNMP Management

The switch MIB options are accessible through SNMP. Instead of defining a large set of commands, SNMP performs all operations using the “GET”, “GETNEXT” and “SET” commands. The SNMP agent that resides on the switch can respond to MIB-related queries being sent by the network management software.

The SNMP agent gathers data from the MIB, which keeps information about device parameters and network data. The agent can send traps, or notification of certain events, to the manager.

Figure 6-1: SNMP Network

The SNMP manager uses information in the MIB to perform the operations described below:

Operation Description

GET Retrieve values of SNMP objects from a network

device.

GETNEXT Specify an SNMP object in a network device and

then retrieve information about the next few SNMP objects in the device.

SET Modify and store values of SNMP objects in a

network device.

GET RESPONSE

TRAP A message sent by an SNMP agent to an SNMP

Table 6-1. The commands of SNMP management

The reply to a GET, GETNEXT, and SET commands sent by a SNMP agent

manager indicating some event occurred.

File Server

Before you begin to create new VLAN Group, you need to set PVID number on Ports page as below:

We set VLAN ID of Ports (1~4 ) 1, and PVID of Ports ( 5~8 ) 2.

Remember to click “ Apply “ button after you finish your setting.

Then, return to VLAN page, and the screen displays as below:

Afterwards, you click to select Port 4 and Port 5 for the purpose of overlapping. Remember to click “ Apply “ button after you finish your setting.

Now you have create two VLAN Groups ( Group1 VID=1 and

Group2 VID=2 ) with overlapping ports ( Port 4 & Port 5 ).

Tagging ( Mac Address based ) VLAN

This method of tagging is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard, to configure switch port by the tagging function that allows the port to transmit tagging frame. VLAN Tagging can only be used if the devices at both ends of a link support IEEE 802.1Q.

The following example show you how to create 3 VLAN Groups with one common tagged port.
