• Key Features in the Device
QoS:
Support Quality of Service by the IEEE 802.1P standard. There are two
priority queue and packet transmission schedule.
Spanning T ree:
Support IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1w (RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol) standards.
VLAN:
Support Port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN. Support 256 active
VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094.
Port Trunking:
Support static port trunking and port trunking with IEEE 802.3ad LACP.
Bandwidth Control:
Support ingress and egress per port bandwidth control.
Port Security:
Support allowed, denied forwarding and port security with MAC address.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP):
IEEE Standard──802.1AB （Link Layer Discovery Protocol），Provide
more easy debug tool and enhance the networking management availabi lity,
Others it can provide auto-discovery device and topology providing
SNMP/RMON:
SNMP agent and RMON MIB. In the device, SNMP agent is a client
software which is operating over SNMP protocol used to receive the
command from SNMP manager (server site) and echo the corresponded
data, i.e. MIB object. Besides, SNMP agent will actively issue TRAP
information when happened.
RMON is the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of
the SNMP MIB.
The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON
MIB (RFC 1757)-statistics Group 1,2,3,9, Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643),
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643) and so on.
IGMP Snooping:
Support IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236): The function IGMP snooping is used
to establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the
member ports, and, in nature, avoid wasting the bandwidth while IP
multicast packets are running over the network.
IGMP Proxy:
The implementation of IP multicast processing. The switch supports IGMP
version 1 and IGMP version 2, efficient use of network bandwidth, and fast
response time for channel changing. IGMP version 1 (IGMPv1) is
described in RFC1112 ,an d IGMP version 2 (IGMPv2) is described in RFC
2236. Hosts interact with the system through the exchange of IGMP
messages. Similarly, when you configure IGMP proxy, the system interacts
Page 12
Rev.A1
18-May-11
4
with the router on its upstream interface through the exchange of IGMP
messages. However, when acting as the proxy, the system performs the
host portion of the IGMP task on the upstream interface as follows:
When queried, sends group membership reports to the
group.
When one of its hosts joins a multicast address group to
which none of its other hosts belong, sends unsolicited
group membership reports to that group.
When the last of its hosts in a particular multicast group
leaves the group, sends an unsolicited leave group
membership report to the all-routers group (244.0.0.2).
Power Saving:
The Power saving using the "ActiPHY Power Management" and
"PerfectReach Power Management" two techniques to detec t the client idle
and cable length automatically and provides the different power. It could
efficient to save the switch power and reduce the power consumption.
Q-in-Q VLAN for performance & security:
The VLAN feature in the switch offers the benefits of both security and
performance. VLAN is used to isolate traffic between different users and
thus provides better security. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the
same VLAN broadcast domain also enhances performance. Q-in-Q, the use
of double VLAN tags is an efficient method for enabling Subscriber
Aggregation. This is very useful in the MAN.
MVR:
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) can support carrier to serve content
provider using multicast for Video streaming application in the network.
Each content provider Video streaming has a dedicated multicast VLAN.
The MVR routes packets received in a multicast source VLAN to one or
more receive VLANs. Clients are in the receive VLANs and the multicast
server is in the source VLAN.
Access Control List (ACL):
The ACLs are divided into EtherTypes. IPv4, ARP protocol, MAC and VLAN
parameters etc. Here we will just go over the standard and extended
access lists for TCP/IP. As you create ACEs for ingress classification, you
can assign a policy for each port, the policy number is 1-8, however, each
policy can be applied to any port. This makes it very easy to determine what
type of ACL policy you will be working with.
IP-MAC-Port Binding:
The IP network layer uses a four-byte address . The Ethern et link l ayer uses
a six-byte MAC address. Binding these t wo address types together allows
the transmission of data between the layers. The primary purpose of IPMAC binding is to restrict the access to a switch to a number of authoriz ed
users. Only the authorized client c an access the Switch’s port by checking
the pair of IP-MAC Addresses and port number with the pre-configured
database. If an unauthorized user tries to access an IP-MAC binding
enabled port, the system will block the access by dropping its packet.

SSL and SSH for secure Management: (Optional by Project Requirement, Refer
to device’s FW v5.0x upper)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) supports the encryption for all HTTP traffic,
allowing secure access to the browser-based management GUI in the
switch. And Secure Shell (SSH) which supports the encryption for all
transmitted data for secure, remote command-line interface (CLI) access
over IP networks
Note: The SSL only provide the CLI for switch management and SSH
default enable without UI for management.
TACACS+: (Optional by Project Requirement, Refer to device’s FW v5.0x
upper)
The switch supports to ease switch management securit y administration by
using a password with Cisco TACACS+ authentication server
Syslog:
The Syslog is a standard for logging program messages . It allows
separation of the software that generates messages from the system that
stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. It is
supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple
platforms.

2-1. Starting MIL-SM8DPA Up
This section will give users a quick start for:
- Hardware and Cable Installation
- Management Station Installation
- Software booting and configuration
2-1-1. Hardware and Cable Installation
At the beginning, please do first:
Wear a grounding device to avoid the damage from electrostatic discharge
Be sure that power switch is OFF before you insert the power cord to power
source
• Installing Optional SFP Fiber Transceivers to the MIL-SM8DPA
Note: If you have no modules, please skip this section.
• Connecting the SFP Module to the Chassis:
The optional SFP modules are hot swappable, so you can plug or unplug it
before or after powering on.
1. Verify that the SFP module is the right model and conforms to the chassis
2. Slide the module along the slot. Also be sure that the module is properly
seated against the slot socket/connector
3. Install the media cable for network connection
4. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each module to be installed into
slot(s)

• TP Port and Cable Installation
In the switch, TP port supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover, so both types of
cable, straight-through (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6 in
10/100M TP; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in Gigabit TP) and
crossed-over (Cable pin-outs for RJ-45 jack 1, 2, 3, 6 to 3, 6, 1, 2) can be used.
It means you do not have to tell from them, just plug it.
Use Cat. 5 grade RJ-45 TP cable to connect to a TP port of the switch and the
other end is connected to a network-aware dev ice such as a workstation or a
server.
Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected to a
Gigabit 10/100/1000 TP device.
Now, you can start having the switch in operation.
• Power On
The switch supports 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. The power
supply will automatically convert the local AC power source to DC power. It does not
matter whether any connection plugged into the swit ch or not when power on, ev en
modules as well. After the power is on, all LED indicators will light up immediatel y
and then all off except the power LED still k eeps on. This represents a reset of the
system.
• Firmware Loading
After resetting, the bootloader will load the firmware into the memory. It will
take about 30 seconds, after that, the switch will flash all the LED once and
automatically performs self-test and is in ready state.

2-1-2. Installing Chassis to a 19-Inch Wiring Closet Rail
Caution: Allow a proper spacing and proper air ventilation for the cooling fan
at both sides of the chassis.
Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge.
Screw the mounting accessory to the front side of the switch (See Fig. 2-2).
Place the Chassis into the 19-inch wiring closet rail and locate it at the proper
position. Then, fix the Chassis by screwing it.
2-1-3. Cabling Requirements
To help ensure a successful installation and keep the network performanc e
good, please take a care on the cabling requirement. Cables with worse
specification will render the LAN to work poorly.
2-1-3-1. Cabling Requirements for TP Ports
For Fast Ethernet TP network connection
The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of
100 meters.
Gigabit Ethernet TP network connection
The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5 or Cat. 5e with a maximum length of

2-1-3-2. Cabling Requirements for 100/1000M SX/LX SFP Module
It is more complex and comprehensive contrast to TP cabling in the fiber
media. Basically, there are two categories of fiber, multi mode (MM) and single
mode (SM). The later is categorized into several classes by the distance it supports.
They are SX, LX, LHX, XD, a nd ZX. From the viewpoint of connect or type, there
mainly are LC and BIDI LC.

2-1-3-3. Switch Cascading in Topology
• Takes the Delay Time into Account
Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch
cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the net work
extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the
IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.1 series pr otocol specifications, in which
the limitations are the timing requirement from physical signals defined by 802.3
series specification of Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY, and timer from some
OSI layer 2 protocols such as 802.1d, 802.1q, LACP and so on.
The fiber, TP cab le s and devices’ bit-time delay (round trip) are as follows:
1000Base-X TP, Fiber 100Base-TX TP 100Base-FX Fiber
Round trip Delay: 4096 Round trip Delay: 512
Cat. 5 TP Wire: 11.12/m Cat. 5 TP Wire: 1.12/m Fiber C able: 1.0/m
Fiber Cable : 10.10/m TP to fiber Converter: 56
Bit Ti me unit : 1ns (1sec./1000 Mega bit)
Bit Time unit: 0.01s (1sec./100 Me ga bit )
Table 2-2
Page 23
Rev.A1
18-May-11
15
Sum up all elements’ bit-time delay and the overall bit-time delay of
wires/devices must be within Round Trip Delay (bit times) in a half-duplex net work
segment (collision domain). For full-duplex operation, this will not be applie d. You
may use the TP-Fiber module to extend the TP node distance over fiber optic and
provide the long haul connection.
• Ty pical Network Topology in Deployment
A hierarchical network with minimum levels of switch may reduce the timing
delay between server and client station. Basically, with this approach, it will
minimize the number of switches in any one path; will lower the possibility of
network loop and will improve network efficiency. If more than two switches are
connected in the same network, select one switch as Level 1 switch and co nnect all
other switches to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recom mended to co nnect to the Level
1 switch. This is general if no VLAN or other special requirements are applied.
Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access
each other (See Fig. 2-3).
If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can
communicate each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.
Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch
supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical
deployment, especially in physical location. The following diagram shows how it
works and what the difference they are.
Case2a: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-4).

1. The same VLAN members could not be in different switches.
2. Every VLAN members could not access VLAN members each other.
3. The switch manager has to assign different names for each VLAN groups
at one switch.
Case 2b: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-5).
1. VLAN1 members could not access VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4 members.
2. VLAN2 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could
access VLAN4 members.
3. VLAN3 members could not access VLAN1, VLAN2 and VLAN4.
4. VLAN4 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could
access VLAN2 members.
Case3a: The same VLAN members can be at different switches with the same VID
(See Fig. 2-6).

2-1-4. Configuring the Management Agent of MIL-SM8DPA
We offer you three ways to startup the switch management function. They
are RJ-45 console, CLI, and Web. Users can use any one of them to monitor and
configure the switch. You can touch them through the following procedures.
Section 2-1-4-1: Configuring the Management Agent of MIL-SM8DPA through the
Console RJ-45 Port
Section 2-1-4-2: Configuring the Management Agent of MIL-SM8DPA through the
Ethernet Port
Note: Please first modify the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS
through RJ-45 console, and then do the next.
2-1-4-1. Configuring the Management Agent of MIL-SM8DPA through the
Console RJ-45 Port
To perform the configuration through RJ-45 console port, the switch’s
console port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC,
through RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable with RJ-45 connec tor. Next, run a terminal
emulator with the default setting of the switch’s serial port. With this, you can
communicate with the switch.
In the switch, RJ-45 interface only supports baud rate 115200 bps with 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity check and no flow control.
To configure the switch, please follow the procedures below:
1. Find the RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable with RJ-45 connector bundled.
Normally, it just uses pins 2, 3 and 7. See also Appendix B for more
details on Null Modem Cable Specifications.
2. Attaches the RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable connector to the RJ-45
Console connector on the switch.
3. Attaches the other end of the RJ-45 transform RS-232 cable to PC’s
serial port, running a terminal emulator supporting VT100/ANSI terminal
with The switch’s serial port default settings. For example,
Windows98/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.

Username = admin Password = root
• Set IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP Address
Please refer to Fig. 2-7 CLI Management for details about ex-factory IP
setting. They are default setting of IP address. You can first either configure your PC
IP address or change IP address of the switch, next to change the IP address of
default gateway and subnet mask.
For example, your network address is 10.1.1.0, and subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. You can change the switch’s default IP address 192.168.1.77 to
10.1.1.1 and set the subnet mask to be 255. 255.255.0. Then, choose your default
gateway, may be it is 10.1.1.254.

After completing these settings in the switch, it will reboot to have the
configuration taken effect. After this step, you can operate the management through
the network, no matter it is from a web browser or Network Management System
(NMS).

2-1-4-2. Configuring the Management Agent of MIL-SM8DPA through the
Ethernet Port
There are three ways to configure and monitor the switch through the
switch’s Ethernet port. They are CLI, Web browser and SNMP manager. The user
interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just
introduce the first two types of management interface.
• Managing MIL-SM8DPA through Ethernet Port
Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the
configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then,
follow the procedures listed below.
1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a
qualified UTP Cat. 5 cable with RJ-45 connector.
Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same
subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask ma y be different for the PC
in the remote site. Please refer to Fig. 2-9 about the switch’s default IP
address information.
2. Run CLI or web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 3
and Chapter 4.

2-1-5. IP Address Assignment
For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled
in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS.
IP address:
The address of the network device in th e network is us ed for internetworkin g
communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-11. It is “classful”
because it is split into predefined address classes or categories.
Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and
host identifier in the 32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network
identifier (address) and host identifier (address). The form er indicates the network
where the addressed host resides, and t he latter indicates the individual host in t he
network which the address of host refers to. And the host id entifier must be unique
in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is version 4, known as IPv4.
Network identifier Host identifier
Fig. 2-11 IP address structure
With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A,
class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multic ast and broadcast. The
bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is
denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.16 8.1.0/24. Each class has its address
range described below.
Class A:
Address is less than 126.255.255.25 5. There ar e a total of 126 net works c an
be defined because the address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for default route and
127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for loopback function.
0
Class B:
IP address range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255. Each class B
network has a 16-bit network prefix followed 16-bit host address. There are 16,384
(2^14)/16 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 65534 (2^16 –2) hosts
per network.

Class C:
IP address range between 192.0.0.0 and 223.255.255.255. Each class C
network has a 24-bit network prefix followed 8-bit host address. There are
2,097,152 (2^21)/24 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 254 (2^8 –2)
hosts per network.
110
Class D and E:
Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and
is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set
to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast.
According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three
specific IP address blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal
network. We call it Private IP address and list below:
Class A 10.0.0.0 --- 10.255.255.255
Class B 172.16.0.0 --- 172.31.255.255
Class C 192.168.0.0 --- 192.168.255.255
Please refer to RFC 1597 and RFC 1466 for more information.
Subnet mask:
It means the sub-division of a class-based network or a CIDR block. The
subnet is used to determine how to split an IP address to the network prefix and the
host address in bitwise basis. It is desi gned to utilize IP address more efficiently and
ease to manage IP network.
For a class B network, 128.1.2. 3, it may have a sub net mask 255.255.0.0 in
default, in which the first two bytes is with all 1s. This means more than 60
thousands of nodes in flat IP address will be at the same network. It’s too large to
manage practically. Now if we divide it into smaller network by extending net work
prefix from 16 bits to, say 24 bits, that’s using its third byte to subnet this class B
network. Now it has a subnet mask 255.255.255.0, in which each bit of the first
three bytes is 1. It’s now clear that the first two bytes is used to identify the class B
network, the third byte is used to ide ntify the s ubnet within this clas s B net work and,
of course, the last byte is the host number.

Not all IP address is available in the sub-netted network. Two special
addresses are reserved. They are the addresses with all zero’s and all one’s host
number. For example, an IP address 128.1.2.128, what IP address reserved will be
looked like? All 0s mean the network itself, and all 1s mean IP broadcast.
In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long,
255.255.255.128, contains 126 members in the sub-netted net work. Another is that
the length of network prefix equals the number of the bit with 1s in that su bnet mask .
With this, you can easily count the number of IP addres ses matched. The following
table shows the result.
Prefix Length No. of IP matched No. of Addressable IP

According to the scheme above, a subnet mask 255.255.2 55.0 will partition a
network with the class C. It means there will have a maximum of 254 effective
nodes existed in this sub-netted net work and is consi dered a physic al network i n an
autonomous network. So it owns a network IP address which may looks like
168.1.2.0.
With the subnet mask, a bigger network can be cut into small pieces of
network. If we want to have more t han two independent networks in a worknet, a
partition to the network must be performed. In this case, subnet mask must be
applied.
For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like
255.255.255.240. This means it is a small net work accommodating a maximum of
15 nodes in the network.
Default gateway:
For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the
traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as default router.
Basically, it is a routing policy. The gateway setting is used for Trap Events Host
only in the switch.
For assigning an IP address to the switch, you just have to ch eck what the IP
address of the network will be connected with the switch. Use the same network
address and append your host address to it.
Fig. 2-12
First, IP Address: as shown in the Fig. 2-12, enter “192.168.1.77”, for
instance. For sure, an IP address such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC.
Second, Subnet Mask: as shown in the Fig. 2-12, enter “255.255.255.0”. Any
subnet mask such as 255.255.255.x is allowable in this case.
DNS:
The Domain Name Server translates human readable machine name to IP address.
Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server generally has a static IP
address. To connect to a server, the client needs to know the IP of the server. However, user
generally uses the name to connect to the server. Thus, the switch DNS client program (such
as a browser) will ask t he DNS to resolve the IP address of the named server.

3. Operation of Web-based
Management
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the MIL-SM8DPA
through the web user interface it supports, to access and manage the 6-Port
100/1000 Dual Speed SFP and 2-Port Gigabit TP/ (100/1000M) SFP Fiber
management Ethernet switch. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status,
each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic,
VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.
The default values of the managed switch are listed in the table below:
IP Address 192.168.1.77
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
Username admin
Password root
Table 3-1
After the managed switch has been finished configuratio n in the CLI via the
switch’s serial interface, you can browse it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.77
in
the address row in a browser, it will show the following screen (see Fig.3-1) and ask
you inputting username and password in order to login and ac cess authentication.
The default username and password are both “admin”. For the first time to use,
please enter the default username and password, then click the <Login> button.
The login process now is completed.
Just click the link of “Forget Password” in WebUI (See Fig. 3-1) or input
“Ctrl+Z” in CLI’s login screen (See Fig. 4-1~4-2) in case the user forgets the
manager’s password. Then, the system will display a serial N o. for the user. Write
down this serial No. and contact your vendor, t he vendor will give you a temporar y
password. Use this new password as ID and Password, and it will allow the user to
login the system with manager authority temporaril y. Due to the limit of this new
password, the user only can login the system one time, therefore, please modify
your password immediately after you login in the system successfully.
In this login menu, you have to input the complete username and password
respectively, the switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This
looks inconvenient, but safer.
In the switch, it supports a simple user management function allowing only
one administrator to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more
users using administrator’s identity, the switch will allow the only one who logins first
to configure the system. The rest of users, even with administrator ’s identity, can
only monitor the system. For those who have no administrator’s identity, can only
monitor the system. There are only a maximum of three users able to login
simultaneously in the switch.

3-1-3. Time Configuration
The switch provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via
NTP. Manual setting is simple and you just input “Year”, “Month”, “Day”, “Hour”,
“Minute” and “Second” within the valid value range indicated in each item. If you
input an invalid value, for exa mple, 61 in minute, the s witch will clamp the figur e to
59.
NTP is a well-known protocol used to synchronize the clock of the switch
system time over a network. NTP, an internet draft standard formalized in RFC 1305,
has been adopted on the system is version 3 protocol. The switch provides four
built-in NTP server IP addresses resided in the Internet and an user-defined NTP
server IP address. The time zone is Greenwich-c enter ed which us es the express ion
form of GMT+/- xx hours.
Function name:
Time
Function description:
Set the system time by manual input or set it b y syncing from Time servers.
The function also supports daylight saving for different area’s time adjustment.
Fig. 3-6
Parameter description:
Current Time:
Show the current time of the system.
Manual:
This is the function to adjust the time manuall y. Filling the valid figures in
the fields of Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Second respectively and
press <Apply> button, time is adjusted. The valid figures for the
Page 43
Rev.A1
18-May-11
35
parameter Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Second are >=2000, 1-12,
1-31, 0-23, 0-59 and 0-59 respectively. Input the wrong figure and press
<Apply> button, the device will reject the time adjustment request. There
is no time zone setting in Manual mode.
Default: Year = 2000, Month = 1, Day = 1
Hour = 0, Minute = 0, Second = 0
NTP:
NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time
based Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If use the NTP mode and select a
built-in NTP time server or manually specify an user-defi ned NTP server
as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short after
pressing <Apply> button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically,
NTP does not update the time periodically without user’s processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone
first and then perform time sync via NTP because the switch will combin e
this time zone offset and updated NTP time to come out the local ti me,
otherwise, you will not able to get the correct time. The switch supports
configurable time zone from –12 to +13 step 1 hour.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Daylight Saving:
Daylight saving is adopted in some countries. I f set, it will adjust the ti me
lag or in advance in unit of hours, according to th e starting date and the
ending date. For example, if you set the day light saving to be 1 hour.
When the time passes over the starting time, the system time will be
increased one hour after one minute at the time since it passed over. And
when the time passes over the ending time, the system time will be
decreased one hour after one minute at the time since it passed over.
The switch supports valid configurable day light sav ing time is –5 ~ +5
step one hour. The zero for this parameter means it need not have to
adjust current time, equivalent to in-act daylight sav in g. You don’t have to
set the starting/ending date as well. If you set daylight s aving to be nonzero, you have to set the starting/ending date as well; otherwise, the
daylight saving function will not be activated.
Default for Daylight Saving: 0.
The following parameters are configurable for the function Daylight
Saving and described in detail.
Day Light Saving Start :
This is used to set when to start performing the day light saving time.

3-1-4. IP Configuration
IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the switch.
Without the proper setting, network manager will not be able to manage or view the
device. The switch supports both manual IP address setting and automatic IP
address setting via DHCP server. When IP address is changed, you must reboot the
switch to have the setting taken effect and use the new IP to browse for web
management and CLI management.
Function name:
IP Configuration
Function description:
Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for the switch.
Fig. 3-7 IP Address Configuration
Parameter description:
DHCP Setting:
DHCP is the abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Here
DHCP means a switch to turn ON or OFF the function.
The switch supports DHCP client used to get an IP address automatically
if you set this function “Enable”. When enabled, the switch will issue the
request to the DHCP server resided in the network to get an IP address.
If DHCP server is down or does not exist, the switch will issue the
request and show IP address is under requesting, until the DHC P server
is up. Before getting an IP address from DHCP server, the device will not
continue booting procedures. If set this field “Disable”, you’ll have to
input IP address manually. For more details about IP address and DHCP,
please see the Section 2-1-5 “IP Address Assignment” in this manual.
Default: Disable
Page 46
Rev.A1
18-May-11
38
IP address:
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in ne w values if users set t he
DHCP function “Disable”. Then, click <Apply> button to update.
When DHCP is disabled, Default: 192.168.1.77
If DHCP is enabled, this field is filled by DHCP server and will not allow
user manually set it any more.
Subnet mask:
Subnet mask is made for the purpose to get more network address
because any IP device in a network must own its IP address, composed
of Network address and Host address, otherwise can’t communicate with
other devices each other. But unfortunately, the network classes A, B,
and C are all too large to fit for almost all networks, hence, subnet mas k
is introduced to solve this problem. Su bnet mask uses some bits from
host address and makes an IP address looked Network address , Subnet
mask number and host address. It is shown in the following figure. T his
reduces the total IP number of a net work able to su pport, by the a mount
of 2 power of the bit number of subnet number (2^(bit number of subnet
number)).
Subnet mask is used to set t he subnet mask value, which should be the
same value as that of the other devices resided in the same network it
attaches.
For more information, please also see the Section 2-1-5 “IP Address
Assignment” in this manual.
Default: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not
meet the routing rules predefined in the device. If a packet does not meet
the criteria for other pre-defined path, it must be forwarded to a default
router on a default path. This means any packet with undefined IP
address in the routing table will be sent to this device unconditionally.

DNS:
It is Domain Name Server used to serve the translation between IP
address and name address.
The switch supports DNS client function to re-route the mn emonic name
address to DNS server to get its associated IP address for accessing
Internet. User can specify a DNS IP address for the switch. With this, the
switch can translate a mnemonic name address into an IP address.
There are two ways to specify the IP address of DNS. One is fixed mode,
which manually specifies its IP address, the other is dynamic mode,
which is assigned by DHCP server while DHCP is enabled. DNS can
help you easily remember the mnemonic address name with the
meaningful words in it. Default is no assignment of DNS address.
Default: 0.0.0.0

3-1-9. Virtual Stack
Function name:
Virtual Stack
Function description:
Virtual Stack Management(VSM) is the group management function. Through
the proper configuration of this function, switches in the same LAN will be
grouped automatically. And among these switch, one switch will be a master
machine, and the others in this group will become the slave devices.
VSM offers a simple centralized management function. It is not necessary to
remember the address of all devices, manager is c apable of managing the
network with knowing the address of the Master machine. Instead of SNMP or
Telnet UI, VSM is only available in Web UI. While one switch become the
Master, two rows of buttons for group device will appear on the top of its Web
UI. By pressing these buttons, user will be allowed to connect the Web UI of
the devices of the group in the same window without the login of these device.
The most top-left button is only for Master device(See Fig.3-9). The
background color of the button you press will b e changed to re present that th e
device is under your management.
Note: It will remove the grouping temporarily in case that you login the switch
via the console.
The device of the group will be shown as station address ( the last number of
IP Address) + device name on the button (e.g. 196_MIL-SM8DPA), otherwise
it will show ” ---- “ if no corresponding device exists.
Once the devices join the group successfull y, then they are merely able to be
managed via Master device, and user will fail to manage them via
telnet/console/web individually.
Up to 16 devices can be grouped for VSM, however, only one Master is
allowed to exist in each group. For Master redundancy, user may configure
more than two devices as Master device, however, the Master device with the
smaller MAC value will be the Master one. All of these 16 devices can
become Master device and back up with each other .

1000M Fiber ON/OFF 1000M Full
In Auto-negotiation mode, no default value. In Forced mode, default
value depends on your setting.
Flow Control:
There are two modes to choose in flow control, including Enable and
Disable. If flow control is set Enable, both parties can send PAUSE frame
to the transmitting device(s) if the receiving port is too busy to handle.
When it is set Disable, there will be no flow control in the port. It drops
the packet if too much to handle.
Maximum Frame:
This module offer 1518~9600 (Bytes) length to make the long packet.
Excessive Collision Mode:
There are two modes to choose when exces sive c ollision ha ppen in halfduplex condition as below:
Discard: The “Discard” mode determines whether the MAC drop frames
after an excessive collision has occurred. If set, a frame is dropped after
excessive collisions. This is IEEE Std 802.3 half-duplex flow control
operation.
Restart: The “Restart” mode determines whether the MAC retransmits
frames after an excessive collision has occurred. If set, a frame is not
dropped after excessive collisions, but the backoff sequence is restarted.
This is a violation of IEEE Std 802.3, but is useful in non-dropping half-
duplex flow control operation.

pulling down list and selecting an item. Then, click <Apply> button, the
settings will take effect immediately.
Fig. 3-17
Parameter description:
VLAN Mode:
Port-based:
Port-based VLAN is defined by port. A ny packet coming in or outgoing
from any one port of a port-based VLAN will be accepted. No filtering
criterion applies in port-based VLAN. The o nly criterion is the physical
port you connect to. For example, for a port-based VLAN named
PVLAN-1 contains port members Port 1&2&3&4. If you are on the port
1, you can communicate with port 2&3&4. If you are on the port 5, then
you cannot talk to them. Each port-based VLAN you built up must be
assigned a group name. This switch can support up to maximal 24 portbased VLAN gr oups.
Tag-based:
Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is quite different
from port-based VLAN. If there are any more rules in ingress filtering list
or egress filtering list, the packet will be screened with more filtering
criteria to determine if it can be forwarded. The switch supports
supplement of 802.1q. For more details, please s ee the section VLAN
in Chapter 3.
Each tag-based VLAN you built up must be as signed VLAN name and
VLAN ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-4094. User can create total up to 4094
Tag VLAN groups.

IGMP Proxy:
IGMP proxy enables the switch to issue IGMP host messages on behalf
of hosts that the system discovered through standard IGMP interfaces.
The system acts as a proxy for its hosts. This switch can be set IGMP
function “Enable” or “Disable” by VLAN group. If the VLAN group
IGMP proxy is disabled, the switch will stop the exchange of IGMP
messages in the VLAN group members. If the VLAN group IGMP proxy
is enabled, the switch will support the exchang e of IGMP messages in
the VLAN group members and follow up IGMP proxy router port
configuration, which connects to a rout er closer to the root of the tree.
This interface is the upstream interface. The router on the upstream
interface should be running IGMP. You enable IGMP on the interfaces
that connect the system to its hosts that are farther away from the root of
the tree. These interfaces are known as downstream interfaces. Please
refer to 3-15-1 for detail IGMP Proxy function description.

3-3-4. Ports
Function name:
Ports (Under tag-base VLAN mode)
Function description:
In VLAN Tag Rule Setting, user can input VID number to each port. The range
of VID number is from 1 to 4094. User also can choose ingr ess filtering rules
to each port. There are two ingress filtering rules which can be applied to the
switch. The Ingress Filtering Rule 1 is “forward o nl y packets with VID matching
this port’s configured VID”. The Ingress Filtering Rule 2 is “drop untagged
frame”. You can also select the Role of each port as Access, Trunk, or Hybrid.
Fig. 3-24
Parameter description:
Port 1-8:
Port number.
VLAN Aware:
Based on IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag to forward packet
Ingress Filtering:
Discard other VLAN group packets, only forward this port joined VLAN
group packets
Frame Type:
All: Forward all tagged and untagged packets
Tagged: Forward tagged packets only and discard untagged packets
PVID:
This PVID range will be 1-4094. Before you set a num ber x as PVID, you
have to create a Tag-based VLAN with VID x. For example, if port x
receives an untagged packet, the switch will appl y the PVID (assume as
VID y) of port x to tag this packet, the packet then will be forwarded as
the tagged packet with VID y.
Page 74
Rev.A1
18-May-11
66
Role:
This is an egress rule of the port. Here you can choose Access, Trunk or
Hybrid. Trunk means the outgoing packets must carry VLAN tag header.
Access means the outgoing packets carry no VLAN tag header. If
packets have double VLAN tags, one will be dropped a nd the other will
still be left. As to Hybrid, it is similar to Trunk, and both of them will tagout. When the port is set to Hybrid, its packets will be untagged out if the
VID of the outgoing packets with tag is the same as the one in the fi eld of
Untag VID of this port.
Untag VID:
Valid range is 1~4094. It works only when Role is set to Hybrid.
Double Tag:
Double-tag mode belongs to the tag-based mode, however, it would treat
all frames as the untagged ones, which means that tag with PVID will be
added into all packets. Then, these packets will be forwarded as Tagbased VLAN. So, the incoming packets with tag will become the doubletag ones. Scroll to enable the function and default is Disable.

3-3-5. Port Isolation
Function name:
Port Isolation
Function description:
Port Isolation provides for an apparatus and method to isolate p orts on layer 2
switches on the same VLAN to restrict traffic flow. The apparatus comprises a
switch having said plurality of ports, each port configured as a protecte d port
or a non-protected port. An address table memory stores an address table
having a destination address and port number pair. A forwarding map
generator generates a forwarding map which is responsive to a destination
address of a data packet. The method for isolating ports on a layer 2 switch
comprises configuring each of t he ports on the layer 2 switch as a protected
port or a non-protected port. A destination address on an data packet is
matched with a physical address on sai d layer 2 switch and a for warding map
is generated for the data packet based upon the destination address on the
data packet. The data packet is then sent to the plurality of ports pursuant to
the forwarding map generated based upon whether the ingress port was
configured as a protected or non-protected port.

be kept in the switch. Valid range: 1000-5000 unit time, Default: 1000 unit
time.
Default Applicant Mode:
The mode here means the type of participant. There are two modes,
normal participant and non-participant, provided for the user’s choice.
Normal:
It is Normal Participant. In this mode, the switch participates
normally in GARP protocol exchanges. The default setting is
Normal.
Non-Participant:
It is Non-Participant. In this mode, the switch does not send or
reply any GARP messages. It just listens messages and
reacts for the received GVRP BPDU.
Default Registrar Mode:
The mode here means the type of Registrar. There are three types of
parameters for registrar administrative control value, normal registrar,
fixed registrar and forbidden registrar, provided for the user’s choice.
Normal:
It is Normal Registration. The Registrar responds normally to
incoming GARP messages. The default setting is Normal.
Fixed:
It is Registration Fixed. The Registrar ignores all GARP
messages, and all members remain in the registered (IN)
state.
Forbidden:
It is Registration Forbidden. The Registrar ignores all GARP
messages, and all m embers remain in the unregistered
(EMPTY) state.
Restricted Mode:
This function is used to restrict dynamic VLAN be created when this port
received GVRP PDU. There are two modes, disable and enable,
provided for the user’s choice.

3-6. QoS(Quality of Service) Configuration
The switch support four QoS queues per port with strict or weighted fair
queuing scheduling. There are 8 QoS Control Lists (QCL) for advance
programmable QoS classification, based on IEEE 802.1p, Ethertype, VID, IPv4/IPv6
DSCP and UDP/TCP ports and ranges.
High flexibility in the classification of inc oming frames to a QoS class. The
QoS classification looks for information up to Layer 4, including IPv4 and IPv6
DSCP, IPv4 TCP/UDP port numbers, and user priority of tagged frames. This QoS
classification mechanism is implemented in a QoS control list (QCL). The QoS cla s s
assigned to a frame is used throu gh out th e d ev ic e for providing queuing, scheduling,
and congestion control guarantees to t he frame according to what was configured
for that specific QoS class.
The switch support advanced memory control mechanisms providing
excellent performance of all QoS classes under any tr affic sc enario, including jumbo
frame. A super priority queue with dedicate d memory and strict highest priority in
the arbitration. The ingress super priorit y queue allows traffic recognized as CPU
traffic to be received and queued for transmission to the CPU even when all the
QoS class queues are congested.
3-6-1. Ports
Function name:
Port QoS Configuration
Function description:
To configure each port QoS behavior. Four QoS queue per port with strict or
weighted fair queuing scheduling. There are 8 QoS Control Lists (QCL) for

Port:
User can choose the port (1~8) respectively with Priorit y Class on Per
Port Priority function.
Default Class:
User can set up High Priority or Low Priority for each port respectively.
Low / Normal / Medium / High
QCL:
The number of QCL rule 1~8, each port have to apply one of the QCL
rule for QoS behavior
User priority:
The user priority value 0~7 (3 bits) is used as an index to the eight QoS
class values for VLAN tagged or priority tagged frames.
Queuing Mode:
There are two Scheduling Method, Strict Priority and Weighted Fair.
Default is Strict Priority. After you choose any of Scheduling Method,
please click Apply button to be in operation.
Queue Weighted:
There are four queues per port and four classes weighted number (1 / 2 /
4 / 8) for each queues, you can select the weighted number when the
scheduling method be set to “Weighted Fair” mode.

Function name:
Qos Control List Configuration
Function description:
The
switch support four QoS queues per port with strict or weighted fair
queuing scheduling. There are 8 QoS Control Lists (QCL) for advance
programmable QoS classification, based on IEEE 802.1p, Ether Type, VID,
IPv4/IPv6 DSCP and UDP/TCP ports and ranges.
Fig. 3-35
QCE Configuration:
The QCL consists of 8 QoS Control Entries (QCEs) that are searched
from the top of the list to the bottom of the list for a match. The first
matching QCE determines the QoS classification of the frame. The QCE
ordering is therefore important for the resulting QoS classification
algorithm. If no matching QCE is found, the default QoS class is used in
the port QoS configuration.
