1.4 Glossary

10BASE-T

IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.

100BASE-TX

IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of Category 5 UTP cable.

Ethernet

A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using
baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor
IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and
media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair

cable.

Fast Ethernet

A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.

Media Access Control (MAC)

A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission medium, facilitating
the exchange of data between network nodes.

Auto-negotiation

Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g., 10 Mbps or

100 Mbps and half or full duplex) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected.

8

Bandwidth

The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also
synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable.

CSMA/CD

Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect is the communication method employed by
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.

Full Duplex

Transmission method that allows switch and network card to transmit and receive concurrently,
effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.

Port T runk

Defines a network link aggregation and trunking method which specifies how to create a single

high-speed logical link that combines several lower-speed physical links.

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of
their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup
with no physical barriers, and allows users to share information and resources as though located on

the same LAN.

IEEE 802.1Q

VLAN Tagging—Defines Ethernet frame tags which carry VLAN information. It allows

switches to assign endstations to different virtual LANs, and defines a standard way for VLANs to
communicate across switched networks.

IEEE 802.1p

An IEEE standard for providing quality of service (QoS) in Ethernet networks. The standard
uses packet tags that define up to eight traffic classes and allows switches to transmit packets based
on the tagged priority value.

Port Mirroring

A method whereby data on a target port is mirrored to a monitor port for troubleshooting with a

logic analyzer or RMON probe. This allows data on the target port to be studied unobstructively.

9

Bandwidth Control

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted

or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to

limit traffic into or out of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while
packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.

IGMP Snooping

Listening to IGMP Query and IGMP Report packets transferred between IP Multicast Routers
and IP Multicast host groups to identify IP Multicast group members.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

A protocol through which hosts can register with their local router for multicast services. If there
is more than one multicast router on a given subnetwork, one of the routers is made the “querier”
and assumes responsibility for keeping track of group membership.

The power receptacle is located on the rear panel of the switch. The standard power receptacle is
for the AC power cord.

The Switch contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX
RJ-45 ports.All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use

straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or

hubs. Each of these ports also support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or

full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically.

See the following section to get more details about connection of RJ-45 ports.

Connecting to PC or Server

You can connect any RJ-45 station port on
the Switch to a PC via twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use Category 3, 4 or 5
cable for standard 10Mbps Ethernet connections,
or Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
connections.

Make sure you have installed a 10BASE-T or

100BASE-TX network interface card for connecting

a PC to the Switch’s RJ-45 (MDI-X) station ports.
If LEDs don’t light afterpowering on the Switch, check if the LAN card, the cable and connectors
are properly attached to the PC and the Switch. When a attached PC is powered on or reset:

1. The Link/Act LED will light

2. The FDX/Col LED depends on the installed LAN card’s capabilities for the PC and the Switch

connection.

3. The 100M LED will light for 100Mbps connection, otherwise it will be unlighted.

3.3.2

Switch Database

Switch Database: Click the right button to add or edit the switch name

19

3.4 Switch Status :

3.4.1 Port Status :

This column shows every port status on the switch. This includes link, speed, flow control, auto

negotiation, loop detect, trunk fault, router port.

20

3.4.2 MIB Information:

We can use the MIB Counter function, which the MAC supports to count the packet number
receive in or transmit out the MAC IC. Click the “Start” button, the RMT will show the packet
number that the MAC receive or transmit immediately. Click the “Stop” button, and we can stop the
action of counting the packet number. Click the “Clear” button, and we can clear the number shown
on the window.

Click the ”Pause” button, and we can stop showing the packet number, but this function is not the
same as the ”Stop” button. It will still count but doesn’t show on the window, when you click
“Continue”, the window will show the accumulating packet number in the past time.

21

3.4.3 Cable Tester :

Cable tester is a program that can detect the Cable’s status, like short, open, and link on. User can

easily use cable tester function to diagnose cable problem.

You can check whether each port on the switch is connect on the normal station or not, this
Surecom proprietary function can check the TX or RX pair either short or open in what distance
away from the switch.

22

3.4.4 Signal Quality :

This function can determine whether the cable connect on the switch is good or not. The
RTL8208B check the “Signal and Noise Ratio” (SNR) and can determine the cable is “very good”,
“good”, or “bad”.

23

3.5 Switch Configuration

In “Switch Configuration” Item including “Global configuration”, “Port Configuration”, “QoS

Configuration”, “VLAN Configuration”, “Port Mirror Configuration” and “Security Configuration”,

an “Apply” button for user to execute. If user don’t click the “apply”, the function will not change
in order to avoid an unintentionally click.

3.5.1 Global Configuration:

Disable/Enable Some Global Configuration:
(1) Broadcast Flow Control.
(2) Multicast Flow Control.
(3) Broadcast Storm Filtering.
(4) Loop Port Detection.
(5) IGMP Snooping.

The “Broadcast Flow Control” and “Multicast Flow Control” are the function for user to transmit
more smoothly when you meet a congested port. The “Broadcast Storm Filtering” can drop
broadcast packets to avoid continuously receive broadcast packets. The “Loop Port Detection” can
detect whether a loop is exist. The “IGMP Snooping” can execute the IGMP function.

24

3.5.2 Port Configuration:

The port configuration includes the configuration of each port.
(1) Enable or disable the port.
(2) RX/TX Bandwidth: Control the port ‘s RX/TX bandwidth, RTL 8324 Provide many kinds of

option to limit the bandwidth of each port: No limit, 128 Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 1Mbps,

2Mbps, 4 Mbps, 8 Mbps.

(3) Advertised Speed: 100 or 10 M Speed , Full or Half duplex.
(4) Pause Flow Control: You can choose “No Flow Control” or “Both TX/RX Flow Control” two

options.

(5) Trunking: Enable the trunk port function. Each “Trunking Group” includes four ports as trunk.

25

Surecom’s software engineer adds a new function to avoid the user make a wrong setting. In
IEEE 802.3ad standard, it is defined that switch’s trunking must be full duplex and at the same
speed, however, there may be some people make mistakes that setting the trunk but in the wrong
condition. Therefore, we add a choice window while you want to enable a trunk. Whenever you
enable the trunk, RMT will pop up a new window for switch manager to select speed and duplex.
Of course, the network managers still have to take into account the other switch that the trunk ports
connect with.

26

3.5.3 QoS function:

(1) Diffserv Priority:

Enable the feature of the TCP/IP’s TOS/Diffserv(DS) based priority. When the DS field of TOS

octet [0:5] bits are “101110(Expected Forwarding) ; or ”001010”;”010010”,”011010”,”100010”

(Assured Forwarding); or ”11X000”(Network Control),the packet will be a high priority packet,

otherwise the packet will belong to low priority packet.

(2) 802.1p VLAN Priority:

Enable or disable VLAN tag priority, if the packet’s “User priority” is 0~3, it shall be low

priority, the packet will be high priority when its “user priority” is 4~7.

(3) Adapted Flow Control:

Enable the auto turn off flow control function for 1~2 seconds, whenever the port receives a high

priority packet.

(4) High/Low Priority Ratio:

The MAC will transmit the packet from the high priority port and the low priority port as the ratio

of the ratio.

(5) Port Priority:

You can enable each port’s priority, and the packets received from this port will have the higher

priority than those from the port that disable port’s priority.

27

3.5.4 VLAN Configuration:

(1) VLAN Ability:

There are three options: Disable VLAN, Port-based VLAN, 802.1Q VLAN. When you change the
option, it will show a window to tell you that Change the VLAN option will reset the setting of
VLAN. When you choose either Port-based VLAN or 802.1Q VLAN, the window will add one
more button for you to set the configuration of VLAN.

(2) Unicast Packet Leaky:

When you enable this function, you will make the unicast packets can be transmit to different

VLAN group.

(3) ARP Packet Leaky:

When you enable this function, you will make the ARP broadcast packets can be transmit to
different VLAN group.

(4) Multicast Packet Leaky:

When you enable this function, the switch will enable IP Multicast packets can be transmit to
different VLAN group.

(5) Ingress Filtering:

When you enable this function, the MAC IC will filter frames received from a port that is not in the
port’s VLAN group.

(6) Output Port tagging:

MAC provides the function to handle the tag of output packet. “Don’t touch”, “Remove tag”,

“Insert tag for high priority frame”, or “Insert tag for all frame”. Users have to notice that ” Insert
tag for high priority frame” and “Insert tag for all frames” only take effect when you enable either
QoS function.

28

In this example, we have five new VLAN, and the default VLAN. Switch system has six
port-based VLAN. If a packet receive by port 1 and manager don’t enable the unicast leaky function,
and it will be send out only that its destination address is port2~4, port7 and port10. Users have to
notice that “Port-based VLAN” is not the standard VLAN, and it is just for network manager to

29

configure the environment more conveniently. Therefore, RMT will add some internal VLAN if
your “Port-based VLAN” setting has configured some overlapping port in different VLAN. Under
this situation, the maximum VLAN you can set is not 31 but depend on how many internal VLAN
have been set.

If we enable the “802.1Q VLAN”, we can decide whether the switch receive untagged frame or
not by enable the “Ingress Filtering” function. Let’s take the below setting in Figure18 for an
example. The RMT 802.1Q VLAN follows the IEEE 802.1Q standard. If we enable this VLAN and
configure as below, the switch can only transmit out the packet that its VID in the tag fit with the
VID of destination port. If a packet with a VID=2 received by port 1, it can only transmitted out to
port 2~port 4.

If a port receives an untagged packet, the MAC will refer to “Port VLAN Mapping” and decide
whether the packet can forward to its destination port. For example, an untagged packet receives by
port1 will forward only to port9~port12 because the “Port VLAN mapping” is VID=4. In addition,

30

“Port VLAN mapping” also map the “Output Port PVID Insertion”, as above example, an untagged
packet with unknown DA receive by port 2 and multicast to port13~port16, MAC will insert a
VID=5 when forward to port14~port16, but packet forward to port13 is still an untagged packet.

31

Trunking and VLAN：

It has two methods. After you have set some VLAN, you set the trunk which group don’t belong
to the same VLAN, RMT create a conform window to remind your choice have a fault. If you click
the “Yes” , RMT will change the window to the VLAN setting. You can’t set the trunk successfully
until your trunk settings don’t have collision with VLAN setting. The other way is that you have set
trunk group first, and when you configure the VLAN member, the VLAN will automatically add
the other ports in the same VLAN.

32

3.5.5 Port Mirror Configuration:

This function can enable the mirror function. Choose the mirroring port, for example, port 1, you
can just click the right button of mouse and enable the port’s mirroring function. Then, choose the
mirrored port, for example, port 2, you can follow the same action as you choose mirroring port, but
at the place of Mirrored port to select which port you want.

33

3.5.6 Security configuration:

In the third “Security Configuration”, you can choose the ports that can be controlled by RMT, the
ports which you disable the function will not receive RRCP packets. Therefore, you can use this
feature to limit only some users can control the switch by RMT.

34

3.6 Switch Internals :

3.6.1

Load Factory Default Configuration

Click the “Load Factory Default Configuration” button, and you can load the default configuration,
which is saved in the Switch hardware (EEPROM). The “Factory Default Configuration” means the
configuration that saved in Switch hardware (EEPROM) when they produce by the factory, and will
not be changed under normal operation.

Note: The Load Factory Default function will not save the “Factory Default” into hardware,
therefore, we suggest that you save configuration after you load factory default.

3.6.2 Save Configuration to Hardware

Click the “Save Configuration to Hardware” button, and you can save the configuration that you
now set in this program.

3.6.3 Reset Switch

Click the “Reset Switch” button, and you can reset the switch as if you push the Reset button or
switch device power off then on.
