Chapter 4: Function Description
This section presents the network concepts referred in switch function description.
4.1 System Setting
System setting contains the following topics: displaying and configuring the switch information, upgrading firmware, backuping and loading configuration, rebooting and soft-resetting, configuring username and password.
4.1.1 System Information
The system information contains a hardware version, software version, system description, system name, system location, contact information and run time.
4.1.2 File Transfer
The TL-SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB Web-Smart Switch Family is equipped with a configuration backup function, configuration loading and system upgrading.
The configuration file and executive file are transferred in TFTP protocol.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is dedicated to transferring files between two network stations. It’s based on UDP protocol.
4.1.3 Reboot & Reset
The “Reset” indicates “Soft-reset” here. Soft-resetting restores the switch configuration to default except the switch IP address.

4.1.4 User
The username and password can be modified in order to exclude illegal users.
4.2 Port Setting
4.2.1 Port Parameter
4.2.1.1 Duplex Mode
Ports have duplex modes, 10M HD, 10M FD, 100M HD, 100M FD and 1000M FD.
The First part indicates the transmission rate and the second part indicates the duplex mode.
HD: half-duplex, the port supports transmission between the device and the client in only one direction at a time.
FD: full-duplex, the port supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously.
Switch support auto negotiation, it’s a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate and duplex mode to its partner.
4.2.1.2 Flow Control
Flow control enables lower speed devices to communicate with higher speed devices. This is implemented by the higher speed device refraining from sending packets.
4.2.1.3 Port Security
If the port security is enabled, it will not learn new MAC address and only

transmit the frames from the MAC address list in the port’s static MAC address table.
4.2.2 Port Statistic and Port Status
Port Statistic calculates the statistics of each port, such as how many frames, error frames, broadcast frames it has received, and so on.
Port Status indicates whether the port is linkup, linkdown or disabled, what speed and duplex mode it is working on, and whether flow control is enabled or disabled.
4.2.3 Storm Control
Storm control limits the amount of multicast, broadcast and UL (addresses that have not been learned) frames accepted and forwarded by the device. When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, broadcast, multicast and UL frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. This occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes on all ports.
A Storm is a result of an excessive amount of these frames simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the network, straining network resources or causing the network to time out. Storm control is enabled for all ports by defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are transmitted. The system measures the incoming defined frame rates on each port, and discards the frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
4.2.4 Port Description
Use a description word to indicate the port.

4.3 Network Setting
The network module provides setting switch IP address, dynamic binding and aging time, configuring static MAC address and filtering MAC address, displaying dynamic bound address and ping functions.
4.3.1 Switch IP Address
An IP address is indispensable for a switch to be accessed. The TL- SG2216WEB/TL-SG2224WEB Web-Smart Switch Family provides the configuration interface of IP address, netmask and default gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is dedicated for the DHCP client to obtain IP configuration information from the DHCP server. Two types of information are included in IP configuration information. One type is specific configuration information; another is IP address parameter. DHCP is based on client-server mode. The network station that offers the IP configuration information is called DHCP server.
Make sure that a DHCP server is correctly connected to the network, enable the DHCP client function of the switch, then the switch will automatically obtain IP address, netmask and default gateway from the DHCP server.
If more than one DHCP servers are available in the network, the switch will choose one according to a specific algorithm.
Notice:
If no DHCP server is present in the network, the DHCP client fails to get IP configuration information, the switch then restores the IP parameters to default in several minutes to ensure a valid IP address being equipped.

4.3.2 Aging Time and Dynamic Address Table
A dynamic MAC address table is maintained inside the switch. A MAC address is the physical address of a network device; it is six-bytes long and should be hole in a subnet.Anetwork device can be identified by its MAC address.
A dynamic address table entry contains two items: MAC address and its corresponding switch port. The dynamic address table is volatile. The dynamic address entry begins to age once it is added; it will be purged if it isn’t renewed in a specified time length, which is defined as aging time.
The aging time ranges from 0 to 630 seconds for this switch family.
The default value is 300 seconds. Dynamic address table entry won’t age if 0 is set. The aging time precision is 15 seconds.
4.3.3 Static MAC Address Table
A static MAC address table entry contains a MAC address and its corresponding switch port. All the packets taking that MAC address as their destination will be forwarded to the corresponding switch port.
The static MAC address won’t age, which differs from the dynamic MAC address. The static MAC address table entry is always valid before it is deleted.
Suppose an entry, whose MAC address is 000AEB000001 and corresponding port number is 1, is added to the static MAC address table. All the packets routing to the address of 000AEB000001 egress for the switch port 1. This static entry obliges the device of 000AEB000001 to be connected to port 1; otherwise, that device cannot be accessed. Static MAC addresses are free of

MAC learning, which enhances the efficiency of packets forwarding. The MAC addresses already configured in static MAC address table cannot be added to filtering MAC address table.
The static MAC address table capacity of different type of switches may be different. Appendix C lists the difference.
4.3.4 Filtering MAC Address Table
A filtering MAC address excludes a device from being accessed through the switch. All the packets taking the filtering MAC address as their destination will be discarded. The filtering MAC address is applicable to all the switch ports.
The configured filtering MAC address can neither be added to static MAC address table, nor be bound by switch ports.
4.3.5 Dynamic Binding
A switch port in dynamic binding state can bind a specified number of MAC address. Once the specified number is reached, the port transfers into secure state automatically and stops binding MAC addresses. The bound MAC addresses won’t age, they can be removed by disabling the dynamic binding or rebooting the switch.
The function of dynamic binding causes the switch port to acknowledge the devices connecting to it after startup, and stores the connections (through binding MAC addresses) in static state. This enhances the efficiency of packets forwarding and limits the connecting device number of the switch port.
Reboot the switch after configuring the dynamic binding function. The switch will acknowledge and bind the latest connecting devices. If the switch is managed through remote connection, please add the MAC address of the
