1.4 Description of Functionality

1.4.1 Port Trunking
Port Trunking is a technology which agg regates a network flow to a group of po rt s, thus provides a communication channel of high bandwidth with error-free between switches. Network flows can be distributed evenly between channels and thus provides load balance. Port trunking is supported by the iSpirit 3026 switch. Multiple physical ports can be combined to a logical port through port trunking. Features:
(1) If one port in the trunk group blocks or breaks down, data packets will be redistributed
evenly to other ports in the group;
(2) If the malfunction port goes back to normal, data packets will also be redistributed
among all ports in the group;
(3) Port trunking provided by the iSpirit 3026 switch is compatible with that provided by
Intel and Cisco.
1.4.2 VLAN
1.VLAN introduction
VLAN is used for collecting all kinds of transmission devices in one physical local network. Any combination of ports on a switch(including all ports) can be viewed as one VLAN. VLAN assignment is not limited by physical connection between hardware devices, users can configure VLAN flexibly by assigning different ports to different VLANs.
VLAN can relieve you from the restriction of physical connection when creating a broadcast domain. A VLAN is just a set of local network devices which are independent from the physical network topology. When they communicate with each other, all devices belong to one VLAN seem to be in the same physical local network no matter how to connect them. The main functionality of VLAN is as follows:
(1) can be used to constrain broadcast, flow-controlling its broadcast range. Here is an example: suppose a device in the “Research Department” VLAN broadcast a data packet, then only devices in the “Research Department” VLAN can receive this packet, other devices in other departments won’t receive it; (2) Provides additional safety. Communication between different VLANs can only be achieved through layer 3 transmission, instead of direct communication; (3) Make it easy to move and manage devices in the network.
In a word, VLAN is for the creation of layer 3 logical broadcast domains, it can be allocated either on one switch, or through multiple switches. VLAN can be used for logical VLAN separation of devices in one network with the same subnet address, i.e., separating them into multiple broadcast domains, thus avoiding broadcast storm.
2.VLAN categorization
The iSpirit 3026 switch supports port-based VLAN. It allocates a set of ports on one or more switches into one logical group, and this is the easiest and most efficient way. Network administrators only need to assign a specific VLAN for a port, without considering the device it connects. IEEE802.1Q is an international standard for port-based VLAN of Ethernet switches, it allows the co-use of devices from different factories, with VLAN configurations to be understood by each other, thus they can communica te with each other. According to IEEE802.1Q, a port can be assigned as Tagged or Untagged, which determines whether the device that the port connects can support frames with 802.1Q Tag header or not. The ports on the iSpirit 3026 switch
can belong to multiple Tagged VLAN(identified by VLAN IDs) and one Untagged VLAN. The range for VLAN Ids is from 1 from 4094. The iSpirit 3026 switch can have as many as 256 VLANs.
3.The application of tagged VLAN
Tagging is mostly used for VLAN configuration across multiple switches, where the connection between switches is usually called “relay”. After tagging, a VLAN can be created among multiple switches through one or more relays.
Another advantage for using tagging is that a port can belong to multiple VLANs, which is very useful when you have a device(such as a server) that needs to belong to multiple VLANs, but the device should have a network interface card which supports 802.1Q.
4.VLAN tag assignment
Every VLAN can be assigned a 802.1Q VLAN Tag. When a port is added to a VLAN with a
802.1Q Tag, it’s up to your choice whether it uses the VLAN tag. By default all ports on a switch belong to a default VLAN, but they don’t use the VLAN ID of this default VLAN, it’s not necessary for all ports to use a VLAN tag. When data packets are transmitted out of a port, the switch will determine whether adding or removing the VLAN tag to/from the data packets based on the VLAN configuration on the port.
5.Co-usage of tagged VLAN and port-based VLAN
You can co-use Tagged VLAN and Port-based VLAN. A port can belong to multiple VLAN, if it only belongs to one untagged VLAN. In another word, a port can belong to one Port-based VLAN and multiple Tagged VLAN.
1.4.3 STP(Spanning Tree Protocol)
The iSpirit 3026 switch support STP protocol with IEEE802.1d standard. STP runs on bridges and switches, it’s a layer 2 protocol and is compatible with 802.1d standard. STP provides the dynamic switching between redundant devices in the network, thus you can setup backup communication channels in the network using STP, which guarantees that:
(1) The backup channel is close when the main channel is working normally; (2) When the main channel breaks down, the backup channel is activated automatically,
which let the data flow to be transmitted to the backup channel to make sure the device still works normally. So STP can also avoid a loop when redundancy exists in the network topology. On one hand, the existence of a loop will bring critical damage to the network; On the other hand, it is very important to have a backup channel.
1.4.4 ARL table
ARL means Address Resolution Login, it’s the kernel part for transmitting packets in a Layer 2 switch. The iSpirit 3026 switch stores separately for unicast and multicast, named arl and marl respectively. The hardware searches the arl table and the marl table for the related entry using the destination MAC address in a data packet, and then outputs the packet to the port identified by the entry. Table entries can be learned by the switch automatically through data transmission through input ports, or can be added by network administrators to the arl and marl tables.

1.5 Front Panel

The front panel of the iSpirit 3026 switch have 24 10/100Base-T RJ-45 ports, 2 extendible slots, ports LED status indicator lights, mode LED indicator lights and mode switches, etc… It’s shown in Figure1-2.
Figure1-2.The front panel of the iSpirt 3026 switch
1.5.1 10/100Base-T ports
The longest cord length for 10/100Base-T ports is 140 meters. Network devices it can connect include:
10Base-T compatible devices, such as work stations and concentrators connected
through RJ-45 interfaces using CAT3, CAT4, CAT5 or CAT5E cord;
100Base-TX compatible devices, such as those connected through RJ-45 interfaces
using CAT5 or CAT5E cord, including high-speed work stations, servers, routers, concentrators or other switches;
Notes:
(1) CAT3 and CAT4 cord can only allow 10Mbps data flow, while CAT5 and CAT5E can
have 100Mbps;
(2) 10/100Base-T ports can auto-negotiate using either direct-connect cable or crossover
cable.
Furthermore you can set the 10/100Base-T ports to half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode, 10M or 100M and compose the two configurations at your intention. You can also set the ports to be speed and duplex auto-negotiable according to IEEE802.3u standard. When a port is set to be auto-negotiable, it will learn the speed and duplex info of the connected device and inform it its own info. If the connected device is also auto-negotiable, the port will tune to the best connection, i.e., set the speed to be the maximum both devices can support; and if the connected device supports full-duplex, it will also use full-duplex.
More Info:
According to IEEE802.3u standard, the auto-negotiation process needs to create connections for both devices to communicate and negotiate with each other, we recommend users to set both connecting ports to be auto-negotiable, thus to make sure the auto-negotiation function is able to tune the connection to the best status.
1.5.2 Extendible slots
The iSpirit 3026 switch have two extendible slots, which can use 100M single mode or multiple mode fiber module, 1000M single mode or multiple mode fiber module or 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports (shown in a previous chapter). The fiber configuration is shown in Table1-2. Table1-2:

It’s shown in Figure1-3 how to insert a module to the extendible slot. Steps:
(1) insert the module into the slot along the track; (2) make sure that the module fully inosculates with the slot; (3) screw tightly;
Steps for removing a module is as follows:
(1) unscrew, both for the left side and the right side, to let the module deviate from the panel; (2) grasp tightly the screws on the left and the right, pull the module out in equilibrium and make it separate from the box.
Notes:
Extendible modules don’t support hot-plug, so you must turn the power off before plugging or unplugging, otherwise the switch may be damaged.

2.Install the switch into the cabinet
After installing the flanges on the switch, fix the flanges into the cabinet using supplied 4 screws (as shown in Figure2-5), then plug the power cord into the switch. After turned on, the system will first run POST, please refer to “Power on procedure” for more information.
Figure2-5.Install the switch into the cabinet
2.2.3 Install the switch on a wall
Two steps are necessary to install the switch on a wall:
(1) Install the flanges onto the switch; (2) Install the switch onto the wall;
1.Install the flanges onto the switch
Users can install the switch on the wall either horizont ally or vertically based on th eir own choice. Horizontal/vertical installation: install the longer edge of the flanges onto the switch using supplied screws, and install the shorter on to the wall, as shown in Figure2-6.
Figure2-6.Install the flanges onto the switch
2.Install the switch onto the wall
To best support the switch and the network cable, users need to determine whether installing on a pilaster or on a board (shown in Figure2-7), and then plug the power cord.
Figure2-7.Install the switch onto the wall

2.3 Power on procedure

2.3.1 POST
After installation, power supply is necessary to turn on the switch:
(1) Plug one end of the power cord into the power jacket on the switch; (2) Plug another end of the power cord into a power supply jacket.
After power on, all port status LEDs will turn on and then go out in a second, then the system will go through the procedure of POST (Power On Self Test), during which the port status LEDs will light one by one; After all LEDs are lighted, it means that the system has already passed POST, and port LEDs are going to work in normal status; In ACT mode if LEDs are in good status, it shows that the switch is working normally.
Please inform an authorized agent if your switch can’t pass POST.

2.4 Connecting steps

We’ll explain next how to connect a switch using the iSpirit 3026 switch as an example.
2.4.1 Connecting using the 10/100Mbps ports
10/100Mbps ports can be configured to use the same speed of the connected device. If the connected device doesn’t support auto-negotiation, users can set the speed or duplex mode by hand. Please refer to the following steps to connect a switch with a 10Base-T device or a 100Base-T device:
(1) For a 10Base-T device, connect it with a RJ-45 port on the front panel of the switch
using CAT3, CAT4, CAT5 or CAT5E direct-connected or crossover cable (as shown in Figure2-8). Pin setting are shown in Appendix B;
(2) Connect the other end of the cable also with a RJ-45 port of the connected device. The
corresponding port LEDs should turn on after the connection, otherwise it may be due to that the connected device is power off, there is a problem with the cable, or the
interface card has a problem. (3) If necessary you may need to reconfigure the switch and restart; (4) Repeat step1-3 to connect other needed devices to 10/100Mbps ports.
Figure2-8.Connecting using the 10/100Mbps ports
2.4.2 Connecting module ports
As explained in Chapter 1, install a 100Base-X fiber module and a 1000Base-X fiber module using the extendible slots (can’t be hot-plugged).
Notes:
Please don’t remove the rubber stopple (at the ends of a fiber cable) and the rubber lid (on the cable) before connecting, to avoid any stain or damage.
(1) Use direct-connected CAT5 or CAT5E cable to connect work stations, servers or
routers with RJ-45 ports at the front panel (as shown in Figure2-9), and use crossover
cable to connect with switches or concentrators. ? Pin description is shown in the
appendixes. (2) Connect the other end of the cable with the RF-45 port of the connected device. The
corresponding port LEDs should turn on after the connection, otherwise it may be due
to that the connected device is power off, there is a problem with the cable, or the
interface card has a problem. (3) If necessary you may need to reconfigure the switch and restart; (4) Repeat step1-3 for other devices to 10/100/1000Base-T ports.
Figure2-9.servers or routers with RJ-45 ports at the front panel
2.4.3 Connecting using the console port
Connect a PC or terminal with the console port using the supplied console cord (specifically for this purpose). More information for the console port and cord can be found in Appendix B.
The PC or terminal should support VT100 mode. The terminal software (such as Hyperterminal, an application software for PC) will create a communication channel between PC or terminal with the switch when starting up. Please refer to the following steps to connect a PC or terminal with the switch:
(1) Plug the supplied console cord into the UART console port on the switch as shown in
Figure2-10. Pin description is in Appendix B; (2) Plug the other end of the cord to an UART COM port on the PC; (3) Start the terminal program (such as Hyperterminal) if you are using a PC or terminal; (4) Configure the text mode of the PC or terminal, such that it is the same as the
configuration of the console port of the switch:
Baud rate: 38400 Data bits: 8
Stop bit: 1 Checksum: none

2.5 Introduction to bootrom startup options

After power on, the system will go through the Bootrom startup procedure. Bootrom startup has two ways: either automatic or by users.
2.5.1 Automatic startup
By default, after power on, the switch will enter automatic startup mode in 3 seconds without
users’ intervention, then it will start the image program. The interface of waiting to enter startup mode is shown in Figure2-11.
Figure2-1 1. Automatic startup
2.5.2 Startup by users
At the interface of waiting to enter startup mode, users can type any key except “@” to let the system to step into Bootrom menu, which has a prompt of “[Switch Boot]”. At this prompt several commands are available, and you can type “?” to get help. Help information is shown in Figure2-12.
Figure2-12.Setup by users
Commands explanation:
?: to get help information @: to start the image program b<n>: to display or change the activated mode p: to show startup parameters c: to set startup parameters P: to show all PCI devices
2.5.3 Upgrading Hyper OS using console port
At the prompt “[Switch Boot]:”, type a capital “§”, after a series of “§” signs ? are shown, choose the “transfer” option from the terminal menu. set the protocol parameter to 1K Xmodem, then click on the “transfer” button, which will start the downloading.
