CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch.
1.1 Introduction
The VES-1616F-3x series switches are stand-alone layer-2 VDSL (Very High Speed Digital
Subscriber Line) over POTS/ISDN switches.
The series consist of the following models at the time of writing.
• VES-1616F-34 (VDSL1),
• VES-1616F-34 (VDSL2),
• VES-1616F-35 (VDSL1) and
• VES-1616F-35 (VDSL2).
Use the show hardware-version command to check whether your device is a VDSL1
switch (100100, or 10050) or VDSL2 switch (5030). See Chapter 32 on page 211 for
more information.
VDSL2 is the second generation of the VDSL (which is currently denoted VDSL1) standard.
" You can only upload the firmware of the same VDSL standard as your Switch
model.
1.2 Applications
This section shows the main applications for the switch:
1.2.1 MTU Application
The following diagram depicts a typical application of the Switch (labeled B) with the VDSL
modems (labeled A), in a large residential building, or multiple tenant unit (MTU), that
leverages existing phone line wiring to provide Internet access to all tenants. Note that VDSL
service can coexist with voice service on the same line. The Switch is connected to a backbone
switch (labeled C) using an Ethernet cable or a fiber-optic cable. The fiber connection allows
distances of up to several kilometers (depending on your transceivers). The Ethernet
connection is a suitable link for distances up to 100 meters (328 feet).

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Figure 1 MTU Application
1.2.2 Curbside Application
You could place the Switch outdoors (in a street cabinet for example) in residential areas that
are too far away from the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to receive DSL services. Residents
only need to be within range of the Switch (not the ISP) to receive high-speed VDSL Internet
access, and have enough bandwidth for data, voice, and video services. In the following
example, the Switch (labeled B) is placed a considerable distance from the ISP and connected
to a backbone switch (labeled C).
Figure 2 Curbside Application
1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a
(supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 45.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator
and may be necessary to configure advanced features. See Chapter 32 on page 209.
32
VES-1616F-3x Series User’s Guide
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
See Chapter 25 on page 169.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Chapter
26 on page 179.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Switch
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch
more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory
default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to
totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your last configuration.

CHAPTER 2
Hardware Installation
This chapter shows you how to install the switch.
" Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when
stacking.
For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front
and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is especially important for
enclosed rack installations.
2.1 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
This section lists the rack mounting requirements and precautions and describes the
installation steps.
2.1.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements
• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
" Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.1.1.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it
contains.
• Make sure the position of the switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take
all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1.2 Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch

CHAPTER 3
Hardware Overview
This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the switch and shows you how to make
the hardware connections.
3.1 Front Panel Connection
The front panel contains switch LEDs and all the network ports and port connections.
Figure 5 Front Panel
The following table describes the port labels on the front panel.
Table 1 Front Panel
PORT DESCRIPTION
POTS/ISDN
LINE (Optional)
VDSL LINE This Telco-50 port connects to the user (subscriber) VDSL equipment.
17, 18 These Gigabit/mini-GBIC uplink ports allow you to connect to any other switches.
CONSOLE The console port is for local management.
MGMT This RJ-45 port is for local management.
This Telco-50 port connects to the central office or a PBX.
3.1.1 VDSL and POTS Connections
Connect the lines from the user equipment (VDSL modem) to the VDSL LINE port and the
lines from the central office switch or PBX (Private Branch Exchange) to the POTS/ISDN
LINE port. Make sure that the VDSL LINE Telco-50 cable and the POTS/ISDN LINE Telco50 cable are not shorted on the MDF (Main Distribution Frame).
The line from the user carries both the VDSL and the voice signals. For each line, the switch
has a built-in splitter that separates the high frequency VDSL signal from the voice band
signal and feeds the VDSL signal to the switch, while the voice band signal is diverted to the
POTS/ISDN LINE port.
Refer to Appendix on page 275 for Telco50 pin assignments.

Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
3.1.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
There are two pairs of Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC ports have priority
over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC port and the corresponding Gigabit port
are connected at the same time, the Gigabit port will be disabled. The speed of the Gigabit
Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports can be 100Mbps or 1000Mbps and the duplex mode can be half
duplex (at 100 Mbps) or full duplex. The ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/
1000Mpbs) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cable.
3.1.2.1 Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the switch are:
• Speed: Auto
• Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: on
• Trunking: Disabled
3.1.3 Mini-GBIC Slots
These are slots for mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a
single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The switch does not come with
transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i
specification Rev 1.0 for details.
The mini-GBIC ports have priority over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC port
and the corresponding Gigabit port are connected at the same time, the Gigabit port will be
disabled.
You can change transceivers while the switch is operating. You can use different transceivers
to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
" To avoid possible eye injury, do NOT look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.
3.1.3.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
38
1 Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
VES-1616F-3x Series User’s Guide
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

2 Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
3 The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that
it is functioning properly.
Figure 7 Installed Transceiver
3.1.3.2 Transceiver Removal
Use the following steps to remove a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1 Open the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary).
Figure 8 Opening the Transceiver’s Latch Example
2 Pull the transceiver out of the slot.
Figure 9 Transceiver Removal Example
3.1.4 Console Port
For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured
to the following parameters:

Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
• No flow control
Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the switch. Connect the
female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.
3.1.5 Power Connector

After you log in for the first time, it is recommended you change the default administrator
password. Click Management > Access Control > Logins to display the next screen.
Figure 12 Change Administrator Login Password
4.4 Switch Lockout
You are locked out from managing the switch if another administrator is currently logged in.
You must wait until he/she has logged out before you can log in.
50
Any of the following could also lock you and others out from using in-band management
(managing through the data ports).
Moreover, you could lock yourself (and all others) out from the switch by:
1 Deleting the management VLAN (default is VLAN 1).
VES-1616F-3x Series User’s Guide
Chapter 4 The Web Configurator
2 Deleting all port-based VLANs with the CPU port as a member. The “CPU port” is the
management port of the switch.
3 Incorrectly configuring the access control settings. This could also lock you out from
performing out-of-band management (managing through the console port or
management port).
4 Disabling all ports.
5 Assigning minimum bandwidth to the CPU port. If you limit bandwidth to the CPU port,
you may find that the switch performs sluggishly or not at all.
" Be careful not to lock yourself and others out of the switch.
4.5 Resetting the Switch
If you lock yourself (and others) out of the switch, you can try using out-of-band management.
If you still cannot correct the situation or forgot the password, you will need to reload the
factory-default configuration file.
4.5.1 Reload the Configuration File
Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the
factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations
and the speed of the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no
parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will also be reset to “1234” and
the IP address to 192.168.1.1.
To upload the configuration file, do the following:
1 Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See
Section 3.1.4 on page 39 for details.
2 Disconnect and reconnect the switch’s power to begin a session. When you reconnect the
switch’s power, you will see the initial screen.

6.4 Introduction to VLANs
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into
multiple logical networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can
belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from
devices that are not in the same group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.
In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security
among the subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from
accessing the network resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will not see the
printers and hard disks of another user in the same building.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more
manageable logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast
packets go to each and every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a
specific broadcast domain.

GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join
message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All
message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on
VLAN setup for more background information.
Join Timer Join Timer sets the duration of the Join Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each
port has a Join Period timer. The allowed Join Time range is between 100 and

Priority Queue Assignment
IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that
contains bits to define class of service. Frames without an explicit priority tag are given the default
priority of the ingress port. Use the following fields to configure the priority level-to-physical queue
mapping.
The switch has eight physical queues that you can map to the 8 priority levels. On the switch, traffic
assigned to higher index queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is dropped if
the network is congested.
Priority Level (The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d
standard (which incorporates the 802.1p).
Level 7 Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.
Level 6 Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the

Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port
automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends
support. When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates with the
peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer
port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch determines
the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex
mode. When the switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured
speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure
that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.

6.8 VDSL Parameters
The following sections describe the VDSL parameters you configure in the following screens:
• VDSL Profile Setup (see Section 6.9 on page 77).
• VDSL Alarm Profile Setup (see Section 6.10 on page 80).
• VDSL PSD Profile Setup (see Section 6.11 on page 82).
6.8.1 Frequency Band Plan
Each VDSL mode operates in a different frequency band allocation, resulting in different
upstream and downstream speeds. Your VES switch automatically changes the band plan
based on the loop condition and loop length.
All of the band plans include an optional band. Use the optional band for upstream
transmission which is to be negotiated during line initiation.
6.8.2 Configured Versus Actual Rate
You configure the maximum rate of an individual VDSL port by modifying its profile (see the
VDSL Profile Setup screen) or assigning the port to a different profile (see the Port Setup
screen). However, the actual rate varies depending on factor such as transmission range and
interference.
VES-1616F-3x Series User’s Guide
75
Chapter 6 Basic Setting
6.8.3 PSD
PSD (Power Spectral Density) defines the distribution of a VDSL line’s power in the
frequency domain. A PSD mask specifies the maximum allowable PSD for a line.
6.8.4 UPBO
In a network with varying telephone wiring lengths, the PSD on each line is different. This
causes crosstalk between the lines. Enable UPBO (Upstream Power Back Off) to allow the
switch to adjust the transmit PSD of all lines based on a reference line length so that the PSD
at the receiving end is the same.
6.8.5 Latency Modes
There are two latency modes: interleave and fast.
• Interleave
Interleave delay is the wait (in milliseconds) that determines the size of a single block of
data to be interleaved (assembled) and then transmitted. Interleave delay is used when
transmission error correction (Reed- Solomon) is necessary due to a less-than-ideal
telephone line. The bigger the delay, the bigger the data block size, allowing better error
correction to be performed.
Reed-Solomon codes are block-based error correcting codes with a wide range of
applications. The Reed-Solomon encoder takes a block of digital data and adds extra
"redundant" bits. The Reed-Solomon decoder processes each block and attempts to correct
errors and recover the original data.
• Fast
Fast mode means no interleaving takes place and transmission is faster (a “fast channel”).
This would be suitable if you have a good line where little error correction is necessary.
6.8.6 Rate Adaption
Rate adaption is the ability of a device to adjust from the configured transmission rate to the
attainable transmission rate automatically depending on the line quality. The VDSL
transmission rate then stays at the new rate or adjusts if line quality improves or deteriorates.
The switch determines line quality using the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). SNR is the ratio of
the amplitude of the actual signal to the amplitude of noise signals at a given point in time. A
low SNR indicates poor line quality.
If you disable transmission rate adjustment and the attainable speeds cannot match configured
speeds, then the VDSL link may go down or link communications may be sporadic due to line
errors and consequent retransmissions
Enable the switch to adjust to a new lower rate when the line quality deteriorates until the
connection is broken. The switch will first disconnect and then re-establish the line connection
to maintain connectivity. However, the new line rate might be lower or higher than the
configured line rate.

6.8.7 RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)
RFI is induced noise on the lines by surrounding radio frequency electromagnetic radiation
from sources such as AM and HAM radio stations. Since the VDSL uses a much larger
frequency range that overlaps with other radio frequency systems, signals from VDSL lines
and other radio systems interfere with each other. To avoid performance degradation due to
RFI, set the switch to not transmit VDSL signals in the RFI band.
6.8.8 VDSL Profiles
A profile is a table that contains a list of pre-configured VDSL line settings or VDSL alarm
threshold settings. Each VDSL port has one (and only one) line and alarm profile assigned to it
at any given time.
Profiles allow you to configure VDSL ports efficiently. You can configure all of the VDSL
ports with the same profile, thus removing the need to configure the VDSL ports one-by-one.
You can also change an individual VDSL port by assigning it a different profile.
For example, you could set up different profiles for different kinds of accounts (for example,
economy, standard and premium). Assign the appropriate profile to a VDSL port and it takes
care of a large part of the port’s configuration.

6.9 VDSL Profile Setup

6.11 VDSL PSD Profile Setup
PSD (Power Spectral Density) profiles define the allowable downstream and upstream PSD
values for a line. In a PSD profile, you can configure a set of breakpoints, each of which is
defined by a frequency and PSD level. The set of breakpoints forms a PSD mask that specifies
the maximum transmission power of each VDSL frequency band. If the frequency range used
by the Switch and other devices overlap, you can configure the PSD of your Switch to prevent
interference with other nearby signals.
In the following example, the Switch’s PSD is configured to not exceed the PSD mask (dashed
line) within the 5 MHz to 16 MHz frequency range. After configuration, the shaded area is the
Switch’s actual PSD for the specified frequency range.

CHAPTER 7
VLAN
The type of screen you see here depends on the VLAN Type you selected in the Switch Setup
screen. This chapter shows you how to configure 802.1Q tagged and port-based VLANs.
7.1 Introduction to IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN
A tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC header to identify the VLAN
membership of a frame across bridges - they are not confined to the switch on which they were
created. The VLANs can be created statically by hand or dynamically through GVRP. The
VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information that switches
need to process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an
untagged frame and contains two bytes of TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier), residing within the
type/length field of the Ethernet frame) and two bytes of TCI (Tag Control Information), starts
after the source address field of the Ethernet frame).
The CFI (Canonical Format Indicator) is a single-bit flag, always set to zero for Ethernet
switches. If a frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not
be forwarded as it is to an untagged port. The remaining twelve bits define the VLAN ID,
giving a possible maximum number of 4,096 VLANs. Note that user priority and VLAN ID
are independent of each other. A frame with VID (VLAN Identifier) of null (0) is called a
priority frame, meaning that only the priority level is significant and the default VID of the
ingress port is given as the VID of the frame. Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is used to
identify priority frames and value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN
configurations are 4,094.

7.1.1 Forwarding Tagged and Untagged Frames
Each port on the switch is capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. To forward a frame
from an 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch to an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch, the switch first
decides where to forward the frame and then strips off the VLAN tag. To forward a frame
from an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch to an 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch, the switch first
decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the ingress port's
default VID. The default PVID is VLAN 1 for all ports, but this can be changed.

Chapter 7 VLAN
7.2 Automatic VLAN Registration
GARP and GVRP are the protocols used to automatically register VLAN membership across
switches.
7.2.1 GARP
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) allows network switches to register and deregister attribute values with other GARP participants within a bridged LAN. GARP is a
protocol that provides a generic mechanism for protocols that serve a more specific
application, for example, GVRP.
7.2.1.1 GARP Timers
Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join
message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All
message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values.
7.2.2 GVRP
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol that defines a way for
switches to register necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. Enable this
function to permit VLANs groups beyond the local switch.

7.3 Port VLAN Trunking
Enable VLAN Trunking on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to
pass through that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups on end devices
without having to configure the same VLAN groups on intermediary devices.
Refer to the following figure. Suppose you want to create VLAN groups 1 and 2 (V1 and V2)
on devices A and B. Without VLAN Trunking, you must configure VLAN groups 1 and 2 on
all intermediary switches C, D and E; otherwise they will drop frames with unknown VLAN
group tags. However, with VLAN Trunking enabled on a port(s) in each intermediary switch
you only need to create VLAN groups in the end devices (A and B). C, D and E automatically
allow frames with VLAN group tags 1 and 2 (VLAN groups that are unknown to those
switches) to pass through their VLAN trunking port(s).

7.6 Port-based VLAN
Chapter 7 VLAN
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the
destination MAC address and its associated port.
Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if
you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference
rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port
through which a data packet leaves) for both ports.
Port-based VLANs are specific only to the switch on which they were created.
" When you activate port-based VLAN, the switch uses a default VLAN ID of 1.
You cannot change it.
" In screens (such as IP Setup and Filtering) that require a VID, you must enter
1 as the VID.
The port-based VLAN setup screen is shown next. The CPU management port forms a VLAN
with all Ethernet ports.
7.6.1 Configure a Port-based VLAN
