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 device 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 switch or not when power on, even  
modules as well. After the power is on, all LED indicators will light up immediately  
and then all off except the power LED still keeps 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.

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 performance  
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  
100 meters. Cat. 5e is recommended.  
2-1-3-2. Cabling Requirements for 1000SX/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, and ZX. From the viewpoint of connector type, there  
mainly are 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 network  
extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the  
IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.1 series protocol 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 cables 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:  
Fiber Cable  
11.12/m  
10.10/m  
Cat. 5 TP Wire: 1.12/m  
TP to fiber Converter: 56  
Fiber Cable:  
1.0/m  
:
Bit Time unit : 1ns (1sec./1000 Mega bit)  
Bit Time unit: 0.01μs (1sec./100 Mega bit)  
Table 2-2  
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 network  
segment (collision domain). For full-duplex operation, this will not be applied. You  
may use the TP-Fiber module to extend the TP node distance over fiber optic and  
provide the long haul connection.  
Typical 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 connect all  
other switches to it at Level 2. Server/Host is recommended to connect 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).  
Fig. 2-3 No VLAN Configuration Diagram  
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).  
Fig. 2-4 Port-based VLAN Diagram  
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.

1. VLAN1 members could not access VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4 members.  
2. VLAN2 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could

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).

2-1-4-1. Configuring the Management Agent through the Serial RS-232 Port  
To perform the configuration through RS-232 console port, the switch’s serial  
port must be directly connected to a DCE device, for example, a PC, through  
RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector. 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, RS-232 interface only supports baud rate 57.6k bps with 8 data  
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity check and no flow control.

Set IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP Address  
Please refer to Fig. 2-7 CLI Management for details about LevelOne’s 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 192.168.1.1 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 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.  
GSW-2496 L2 Managed Switch  
Default IP Setting:  
IP = 192.168.1.1  
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0  
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254  
Assign a reasonable IP address,  
For example:  
IP = 192.168.1.100  
Ethernet LAN  
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0  
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254  
Fig. 2-9  
Managing 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 may 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 the network is used for internetworking  
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 former indicates the network  
where the addressed host resides, and the latter indicates the individual host in the  
network which the address of host refers to. And the host identifier must be unique  
in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is version 4, known as IPv4.

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 multicast 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, 192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address  
range described below.  
Class A:  
Address is less than 126.255.255.255. There are a total of 126 networks can  
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.

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.

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)

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  
Class B  
Class C  
10.0.0.0 --- 10.255.255.255  
172.16.0.0 --- 172.31.255.255  
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 designed 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 subnet 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 network  
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 identify the subnet within this class B network 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 network. Another is that  
the length of network prefix equals the number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask.  
With this, you can easily count the number of IP addresses matched. The following  
table shows the result.

Table 2-4  
According to the scheme above, a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 will partition a  
network with the class C. It means there will have a maximum of 254 effective  
nodes existed in this sub-netted network and is considered a physical network in 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 than two independent networks in a worknet, a  
partition to the network must be performed. In this case, subnet mask must be  
applied.  
22

l
For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like  
255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network 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 check 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 “192.168.1.1”, 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 the DNS to resolve the  
IP address of the named server.

Operation of  
Web-based Management  
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the GSW-2496 L2  
Managed Switch through the web user interface it supports, to access and manage  
the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps TP and 16-Port Gigabit 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  
192.168.1.1  
Subnet Mask  
255.255.255.0  
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254  
Username  
Password  
admin  
admin  
Table 3-1  
After the managed switch has been finished configuration in the CLI via the  
switch’s serial interface, you can browse it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 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 access 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 No. for the user. Write  
down this serial No. and contact your vendor, the vendor will give you a temporary  
password. Use this new password as ID and Password, and it will allow the user to  
login the system with manager authority temporarily. 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.  
To optimize the display effect, we recommend you use Microsoft IE 6.0  
above, Netscape V7.1 above or FireFox V1.00 above and have the resolution  
1024x768. The switch supported neutral web browser interface.

The Information of Page Layout  
On the top side, it shows the front panel of the switch. In the front panel, the  
linked ports will display green; as to the ports, which are link off, they will be  
dark. For the optional modules, the slot will show only a cover plate if no  
module exists and will show a module if a module is present. The image of  
module depends on the one you inserted. The same, if disconnected, the port  
will show just dark, if linked, green.  
In this device, there are clicking functions on the panel provided for the  
information of the ports. These are very convenient functions for browsing the  
information of a single port. When clicking the port on the front panel, an  
information window for the port will be pop out. (See Fig. 3-3)  
Fig. 3-3 port detail information  
In Fig. 3-3, it shows the basic information of the clicked port. With this, you’ll  
see the information about the port status, traffic status and bandwidth rating for  
egress and ingress respectively.  
On the left-top corner, there is a pull-down list for Auto Logout. For the sake of  
security, we provide auto-logout function to protect you from illegal user as you  
are leaving. If you do not choose any selection in Auto Logout list, it means  
you turn on the Auto Logout function and the system will be logged out  
automatically when no action on the device 3 minutes later. If OFF is chosen,  
the screen will keep as it is. Default is ON.  
On the left side, the main menu tree for web is listed in the page. They are  
hierarchical menu. Open the function folder, a sub-menu will be shown. The  
functions of each folder are described in its corresponded section respectively.

3-1-2. 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.  
Fig. 3-4 IP Address Configuration  
Function name:  
IP Configuration  
Function description:  
Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for the switch.  
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 DHCP 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

IP address:  
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values if users set the  
DHCP function “Disable”. Then, click <Apply> button to update.  
When DHCP is disabled, Default: 192.168.1.1  
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 mask is  
introduced to solve this problem. Subnet 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. This reduces  
the total IP number of a network able to support, by the amount of 2 power  
of the bit number of subnet number (2^(bit number of subnet number)).  
32 bits  
Network ID  
Network ID  
Host ID  
Host ID  
Subnet number  
Subnet mask is used to set the 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.  
Default: 192.168.1.254  
33

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 mnemonic 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

3-1-3. 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 example, 61 in minute, the switch will clamp the figure 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-centered which uses the expression  
form of GMT+/- xx hours.  
Function name:  
Time  
Function description:  
Set the system time by manual input or set it by syncing from Time servers.  
The function also supports daylight saving for different area’s time adjustment.  
Parameter description:  
Current Time:  
Show the current time of the system.  
Manual:  
This is the function to adjust the time manually. 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 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-defined 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 combine this  
time zone offset and updated NTP time to come out the local time,  
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. If set, it will adjust the time  
lag or in advance in unit of hours, according to the 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 saving 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 saving. You don’t have to set the  
starting/ending date as well. If you set daylight saving to be non-zero, 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.

Function name:  
Management Security Configuration  
Function description:  
The switch offers Management Security Configuration function. With this  
function, the manager can easily control the mode that the user connects to  
the switch. According to the mode, users can be classified into two types:  
Those who are able to connect to the switch (Accept) and those who are  
unable to connect to the switch (Deny). Some restrictions also can be placed  
on the mode that the user connect to the switch, for example, we can decide  
that which VLAN VID is able to be accepted or denied by the switch, the IP  
range of the user could be accepted or denied by the switch, the port that the  
user is allowed or not allowed to connect with the switch, or the way of  
controlling and connecting to the switch via Http, Telnet or SNMP.

3-1-6. 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 capable 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 be changed to represent that the  
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_GSW-2496), otherwise it  
will show ” ---- “ if no corresponding device exists.  
Once the devices join the group successfully, 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 .

ports in the switch changes its parameter displayed in the page, it will be  
automatically refreshed the port current status about every 5 seconds.  
Parameter Description:  
Port No:  
Display the port number. The number is 1 – 24.  
Media:  
Show the media type adopted in all ports. The Port 9 to Port 24 are SFP  
fiber modules, which support fiber media with Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps)  
only. They may have different media types and speed. Especially, fiber port  
has comprehensive types of connector, distance, fiber mode and so on.  
The switch describes the module ports with the following page.  
Link:  
Show that if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to a  
working-well device, the Link will show the link “Up”; otherwise, it will show  
“Down”. This is determined by the hardware on both devices of the  
connection.  
No default value.  
State:  
Show that the communication function of the port is “Enabled” or  
“Disabled”. When it is enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received via  
this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be transferred through this port.  
Port State is configured by user.  
Default: Enabled.  
Auto Negotiation:  
Show the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes  
supported in the switch. They are auto-negotiation mode “Enabled” and  
forced mode “Disabled”. When in “Enabled” mode, this function will  
automatically negotiate by hardware itself and exchange each other the  
capability of speed and duplex mode with other site which is linked, and  
comes out the best communication way. When in “Disabled” mode, both  
parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex, otherwise, both  
of them will not be linked. In this case, the link result is “Down”.  
Default: Enabled

3-5. QoS(Quality of Service) Configuration  
The switch offers powerful 5 kinds of QoS functions. There are Per Port  
Priority that you can assign each port to different precedence, VLAN Tag priority  
that can make precedence of 8 priorities, IP TOS Classification, IP TCP/UDP Port  
Classification and IP DiffServe Classification.  
In Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration, there is one option named” Default  
Class”. As you had selected one of the five QoS functions, then some packets that  
did not belong to this QoS setting would be viewed as Default Class. For instance, if  
you set QoS function as VLAN Tag Priority mode, and then choose Default Class as  
High, finally, the priority of the packets with no tag will be considered as High priority  
precedence. The initial value of the Default Class is High.

Function name:  
Per Port Priority  
Function description:  
We can assign QoS Priority, including High and Low for each port. For  
example, if we transmit IP packets from Port 2 and Port 3 at the speed of  
1Gbps to Port 1, and set the Class of Port 2 as High and Port 3 as Low, then  
the packets of Port 3 will be dropped when the congestion happens because  
Port 2 owns higher precedence of transmitting packets.  
Parameter description:  
Port No:  
User can choose the port (1~24) respectively with Priority Class on Per  
Port Priority function.  
Class:  
User can set up High Priority or Low Priority for each port respectively.

Function name:  
VLAN Tag Priority  
Function description:  
In vlan tag, there are 3 bits belonging to priority. According to these 3 bits, we  
could arrange 8 traffics –0 0 0, 0 0 1, 0 1 0, 0 1 1, 1 0 0, 1 0 1, 1 1 0, 1 1 1. We  
can set High priority or Low priority for each traffic class. For instance, if we let  
VLAN-tagged priority 0 0 0 be high priority and VLAN-tagged priority 0 0 1 be  
Low Priority, and then make port 1, 2, 3 be in the vlan 2. We sent the packets  
that have the value 0 0 0 in vlan-tagged field and VID equals 2 from the port 2  
and the packets that have the value 0 0 1 in vlan-tagged field and VID equals 2  
from the port 3 into the switch. We let the two kinds of packets be transmitted  
for port 1 until the port results in congestion. The result is that the packets will  
be dropped partially from the port 3 because the packets that belong to Low  
Priority. For the use of VLAN Tag Priority function, please press <Configure>  
button at the right section for setting in advance.

Port:  
User can set up the port (1~24) respectively to let Vlan Tag QoS function  
work on them. If you would like to set up all ports at a time, user is also  
allowed to choose “All” in the selection list to simplify the procedure of  
configuration.

Function name:  
IP ToS Classification  
Function description:  
Another QoS function is the application of Layer 3 on network framework. We  
focus on TOS field of IP header. There are three bits in TOS field. We means  
bit 5~7 of TOS field that we will use. According to these 3 bits, we could  
arrange 8 traffics –0 0 0, 0 0 1, 0 1 0, 0 1 1, 1 0 0, 1 0 1, 1 1 0, 1 1 1. As long as  
we change bit 5~7 of TOS field of IP header, we will create the 8 traffic packets  
we meant before. Moreover, we can set High priority or Low priority for each  
traffic class. For instance, if we let TOS 0 0 0 be high priority and TOS 0 0 1 be  
Low Priority, we sent in the packets that have bit 5~7 of TOS Field appears 0 0  
0 from the port 2 and the packets that have bit 5~7 of TOS Field appears 0 0 1  
from the port 3. We let the two kinds of packets be transmitted for port 1 until  
the port results in congestion. The result is that the packets will be dropped  
partially from the port 3 because the packets that belong to Low Priority.

but it is fine that you modify this pre-defined TCP/UDP port with other port  
number you prefer. In ” Down prioritize web browsing, e-mail, FTP and news  
“ L4 QoS Configuration with default setting, special defined TCP/UDP port  
possesses lower QoS traffic than Default class ( all other TCP/UDP ports such  
as port 81,82,83,84,85, etc.). Giving an example, when we transmit TCP  
packets with port number 80 at each of port 2 and port number 81 at port 3 to  
port 1 until the congestion happens. The packets from port 3 will be dropped by  
port 1 because the TCP packets have port number 80 is high priority and will  
have higher precedence to be sent out from port 1.

Function name:  
IP Diffserv Classification  
Function description:  
In the late 1990s, the IETF redefined the meaning of the 8-bit SERVICE TYPE  
field to accommodate a set of differentiated services (DS). Under the  
differentiated services interpretation, the first six bits comprise a codepoint,  
which is sometimes abbreviated DSCP, and the last two bits are left unused.  
IP Diffserve Classification function, it can form total 64 (0~63) kinds of Traffic  
Class based on the arrangement of 6-bit field in DSCP of the IP packet. In the  
switch, user is allowed to set up these 64 kinds of Class that belong to High or  
Low Priority.

3-6. Loop Detection  
Looping will always occur when the switches are connected as a cycle and a  
switchtransmits the packets that will go back to the transmitted switch. Loop  
Detection willprevent the looping from happening. Moreover, it could remove the  
loopingphenomenon per port. In general, you can unplug the cable connection to  
stop thelooping when a port causes the looping. The switch has powerful Looping  
Detectioncapability, which could cease the looping immediately.  
Function name:  
Loop Detection  
Function description:  
This function will start when you enable looping action by ticking the check  
box (;) of the Action. That will create some special packet for looping  
detection. After enabling looping action, you should decide which port you  
would like to open loop detection capability. For example, you open the  
loop detection of port 1 as enable state. When the looping situation  
happens from port 1, Loop Detection will lock the port1’s ability. And then  
you will see that the “Current Status” of port 1 shows Locked. In port status  
function, you can see that the State of Port Configuration of port 1 is  
“Disabled”. So the port 1 will lose the essential ability the port could have.  
However, “Resume Action” in Loop Detection will remove the looping  
status. It is very convenient for looping happening in real networking  
environment. After any setting you done, please click the <Apply> button  
to have the setting taken effect. When looping has already happened, we  
suggest that the users could choose the looping port as “Enable” in  
advance. And then tick the check box (;) of the Action. That will get the  
better result for Looping removing.

3-7. SNMP Configuration  
Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network  
Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with  
SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed  
correctly on the managed devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern  
the transfer of information between SNMP manager and agent and traverses the  
Object Identity (OID) of the management Information Base (MIB), described in the  
form of SMI syntax. SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the request  
issued by SNMP manager.  
Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch  
supports a switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP  
“Enable”, SNMP agent will be started up. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON  
MIB, can be accessed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set “Disable”, SNMP  
agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name, Trap Host IP Address,  
Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.  
Function name:  
SNMP Configuration  
Function description:  
This function is used to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host  
and public traps as well as the throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the  
authentication by identifying both community names, then it can access the MIB  
information of the target device. So, both parties must have the same community  
name. Once completing the setting, click <Apply> button, the setting takes effect.  
Parameters description:  
SNMP:  
The term SNMP here is used for the activation or de-activation of SNMP.  
Default is Enable.  
Get/Set/Trap Community:  
Community name is used as password for authenticating if the requesting  
network management unit belongs to the same community group. If they  
both don’t have the same community name, they don’t belong to the same  
group. Hence, the requesting network management unit can not access  
the device with different community name via SNMP protocol; If they both  
have the same community name, they can talk each other.  
Community name is user-definable with a maximum length of 15  
characters and is case sensitive. There is not allowed to put any blank in  
the community name string. Any printable character is allowable.  
The community name for each function works independently. Each  
function has its own community name. Say, the community name for GET  
only works for GET function and can’t be applied to other function such as  
SET and Trap.

Default SNMP function : Enable  
Default community name for GET: public  
Default community name for SET: private  
Default community name for Trap: public  
Default Set function : Enable  
Default trap host IP address: 0.0.0.0  
Default port number :162  
Trap:  
In the switch, there are 6 trap hosts supported. Each of them has its own  
community name and IP address; is user-definable. To set up a trap host  
means to create a trap manager by assigning an IP address to host the  
trap message. In other words, the trap host is a network management unit  
with SNMP manager receiving the trap message from the managed switch  
with SNMP agent issuing the trap message. 6 trap hosts can prevent the  
important trap message from losing.  
For each public trap, the switch supports the trap event Cold Start, Warm  
Start, Link Down, Link Up and Authentication Failure Trap. They can be  
enabled or disabled individually. When enabled, the corresponded trap will  
actively send a trap message to the trap host when a trap happens. If all  
public traps are disabled, no public trap message will be sent. As to the  
Enterprise (no. 6) trap is classified as private trap, which are listed in the  
Trap Alarm Configuration function folder.  
Default for all public traps: Enable.

3-8. IGMP Snooping  
The function, IGMP Snooping, is used to establish the multicast groups to  
forward the multicast packet to the member ports, and, in nature, avoids wasting the  
bandwidth while IP multicast packets are running over the network. This is because  
a switch that does not support IGMP or IGMP Snooping can not tell the multicast  
packet from the broadcast packet, so it can only treat them all as the broadcast  
packet. Without IGMP Snooping, the multicast packet forwarding function is plain  
and nothing is different from broadcast packet.  
A switch supported IGMP Snooping with the functions of query, report and  
leave, a type of packet exchanged between IP Multicast Router/Switch and IP  
Multicast Host, can update the information of the Multicast table when a member  
(port) joins or leaves an IP Multicast Destination Address. With this function, once a  
switch receives an IP multicast packet, it will forward the packet to the members  
who joined in a specified IP multicast group before.  
The packets will be discarded by the IGMP Snooping if the user transmits  
multicast packets to the multicast group that had not been built up in advance.  
Fig. 3-25  
Function name:  
IGMP Snooping Status  
Function description:  
IGMP is used to snoop the status of IP multicast groups and display its  
associated information in both tagged VLAN and non-tagged VLAN networks.  
Enabling IGMP with either passive or active mode, you can monitor the IGMP  
snooping information, which contains the multicast member list with the  
multicast groups, VID and member port.

Parameter description:  
IGMP snooping mode selection:  
The switch supports three kinds of IGMP Snooping status, including  
“Passive”, “Active” and “Disable”.  
Disable:  
Set “Disable” mode to disable IGMP Snooping function.  
Default: Disable  
Active:  
In Active mode, IGMP snooping switch will periodically issue the  
Membership Query message to all hosts attached to it and gather  
the Membership report message to update the database of the  
Multicast table. By the way, this also reduces the unnecessary  
multicast traffic.  
Passive:  
In Passive Snooping mode, the IGMP snooping will not periodically  
poll the hosts in the groups. The switch will send a Membership  
Query message to all hosts only when it has received a  
Membership Query message from a router.  
IP Address:  
Show all multicast groups IP addresses that are registered on this device.  
VLAN ID:  
Show VLAN ID for each multicast group.  
Member Port:  
Show member ports that join each multicast group. Member port may be  
only or more than one.

including “Any” and “Custom”. Default is “Any”. In case that” Custom” had  
been chosen, you can assigned effective IP range. The valid range is  
224.0.0.0~239.255.255.255.  
VID:  
The switch supports two kinds of options for managed valid VLAN VID,  
including “Any” and “Custom”. Default is “Any”. When you choose  
“Custom”, you can fill in VID number. The valid VID range is 1~4094.  
Port:  
The switch supports two kinds of options for managed valid port range,  
including “Any” and “Custom”. Default is “Any”. You can select the ports  
that you would like them to be worked and restricted in the allowed group  
configuration if ”Custom” had been chosen.

3-10. DHCP Boot  
The DHCP Boot function is used to spread the request broadcast packet into  
a bigger time frame to prevent the traffic congestion due to broadcast packets from  
many network devices which may seek its NMS, boot server, DHCP server and  
many connections predefined when the whole building or block lose the power and  
then reboot and recover. At this moment, a bunch of switch or other network device  
on the LAN will try its best to find the server to get the services or try to set up the  
predefined links, they will issue many broadcast packets in the network.  
The switch supports a random delay time for DHCP and boot delay for each  
device. This suppresses the broadcast storm while all devices are at booting stage  
in the same time. The maximum user-defined delay time is 30 sec. If DHCP  
Broadcasting Suppression function is enabled, the delay time is set randomly,  
ranging from 0 to 30 seconds, because the exactly delay time is computed by the  
switch itself. The default is “Disable”.

3-11. VLAN  
The switch supports Tag-based VLAN (802.1q) and Port-based VLAN.  
Support 256 active VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094. VLAN configuration is used to  
partition your LAN into small ones as your demand. Properly configuring it, you can  
gain not only improving security and increasing performance but greatly reducing  
VLAN management.  
3-11-1. VLAN Mode  
Function name:  
VLAN Mode Setting  
Function description:  
The VLAN Mode Selection function includes five modes: Port-based, Tag-  
based, Metro Mode, Double-tag and Disable, you can choose one of them by  
pulling down list and selecting an item. Then, click <Apply> button, the settings  
will take effect immediately.  
Parameter description:  
VLAN Mode:  
Disable:  
Stop VLAN function on the switch. In this mode, no VLAN is applied to  
the switch. This is the default setting.  
Port-based:  
Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any 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 only 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  
port-based VLAN groups.  
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 see the  
section VLAN in Chapter 3.  
Each tag-based VLAN you built up must be assigned VLAN name and  
VLAN ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-4094. User can create total up to 64 Tag  
VLAN groups.

l
Metro Mode:  
The Metro Mode is a quick configuration VLAN environment method  
on Port-based VLAN. It will create 22 or 23 Port-based VLAN groups.  
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 Tag-based VLAN. So, the incoming packets with tag will become  
the double-tag ones.

Up-link Port:  
This function is enabled only when metro mode is chosen in VLAN mode.  
23:  
Except Port 23, each port of the switch cannot transmit packets with  
each other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 23, thus, total 23  
groups consisting of 2 members are formed.  
24:  
Except Port 24, each port of the switch cannot transmit packets with  
each other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 24, thus, total 23  
groups consisting of 2 members are formed.  
23&24:  
Except Port 23 and Port 24, each port of the switch cannot transmit  
packets with each other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 23 and  
Port 24, thus, total 22 groups consisting of 3 members are formed.

3-11-4. Tag Rule  
Function name:  
Tag Rule  
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 ingress 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 only 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.  
Parameter description:  
Port 1-24:  
Port number.  
PVID:  
This PVID range will be 1-4094. Before you set a number 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 apply 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.  
Rule 1:  
Forward only packets with VID matching this port’s configured VID. You  
can apply Rule 1 as a way to a given port to filter unwanted traffic. In Rule  
1, a given port checks if the given port is a member of the VLAN on which  
the received packet belongs to, to determine forward it or not. For example,  
if port 1 receives a tagged packet with VID=100 (VLAN name=VLAN100),  
and if Rule 1 is enabled, the switch will check if port 1 is a member of  
VLAN100. If yes, the received packet is forwarded; otherwise, the received  
packet is dropped.  
Rule 2:  
Drop untagged frame. You can configure a given port to accept all frames  
(Tagged and Untagged) or just receive tagged frame. If the former is the  
case, then the packets with tagged or untagged will be processed. If the  
later is the case, only the packets carrying VLAN tag will be processed, the  
rest packets will be discarded.  
Note: If Rule 1 is enabled and port 1, for example, receives an untagged packet,  
the switch will apply the PVID of port 1 to tag this packet, the packet then will  
be forwarded. But if the PVID of port 1 is 100 and port 1 is not member of  
VLAN 100, the packet will be dropped.

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 and the other will still be left.  
As to Hybrid, it is similar to Trunk, and both of them will tag-out. 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 field of Untag VID  
of this port.  
Untag VID:  
Valid range is 1~4094. It works only when Role is set to Hybrid.

3-13. GVRP Configuration  
GVRP is an application based on Generic Attribute Registration Protocol  
(GARP), mainly used to automatically and dynamically maintain the group  
membership information of the VLANs. The GVRP offers the function providing the  
VLAN registration service through a GARP application. It makes use of GARP  
Information Declaration (GID) to maintain the ports associated with their attribute  
database and GARP Information Propagation (GIP) to communicate among  
switches and end stations. With GID information and GIP, GVRP state machine  
maintain the contents of Dynamic VLAN Registration Entries for each VLAN and  
propagate these information to other GVRP-aware devices to setup and update  
their knowledge database, the set of VLANs associated with currently active  
members, and through which ports these members can be reached.  
In GVRP Configuration function folder, there are three functions supported,  
including GVRP Config, GVRP Counter and GVRP Group explained below.

3-14. STP Configuration  
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D)  
for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled, ensure that only  
one path is active between any two nodes on the network at a time. User can  
enable Spanning Tree Protocol on switch’s web management and then set up other  
advanced items. We recommend that you enable STP on all switches to ensure a  
single active path on the network.  
3-14-1. STP Status  
Function name:  
STP Status  
Function description:  
In the Spanning Tree Status, user can read 12 parameters to know STP current  
status. The 12 parameters’ description is listed in the following table.  
Parameter description:  
STP State:  
Show the current STP Enabled / Disabled status. Default is “Disabled”.  
Bridge ID:  
Show switch’s bridge ID which stands for the MAC address of this switch.  
Bridge Priority:  
Show this switch’s current bridge priority setting. Default is 32768.  
Designated Root:  
Show root bridge ID of this network segment. If this switch is a root bridge,  
the “Designated Root” will show this switch’s bridge ID.  
Designated Priority:  
Show the current root bridge priority.  
Root Port:  
Show port number connected to root bridge with the lowest path cost.  
Root Path Cost:  
Show the path cost between the root port and the designated port of the  
root bridge.  
Current Max. Age:  
Show the current root bridge maximum age time. Maximum age time is  
used to monitor if STP topology needs to change. When a bridge does not  
receive a hello message from root bridge until the maximum age time is  
counted down to 0, the bridge will treat the root bridge malfunctioned and  
issue a Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDU to all other bridges.

l
All bridges in the LAN will re-learn and determine which the root bridge is.  
Maximum Age time is assigned by root bridge in unit of seconds. Default is  
20 seconds.  
Current Forward Delay:  
Show the current root bridge forward delay time. The value of Forward  
Delay time is set by root. The Forward Delay time is defined as the time  
spent from Listening state moved to Learning state or from Learning state  
moved to Forwarding state of a port in bridge.  
Hello Time:  
Show the current hello time of the root bridge. Hello time is a time interval  
specified by root bridge, used to request all other bridges periodically  
sending hello message every “hello time” seconds to the bridge attached  
to its designated port.  
STP Topology Change Count:  
STP Topology Change Count expresses the time spent in unit of seconds  
since the beginning of the Spanning Tree Topology Change to the end of  
the STP convergence. Once the STP change is converged, the Topology  
Change count will be reset to 0. The figures showing in the screen may not  
be the exact time it spent but very close to, because the time is eclipsing.  
Time Since Last Topology Change:  
Time Since Last Topology Change is the accumulated time in unit of  
seconds the STP has been since the last STP Topology Change was made.  
When Topology Change is initiated again, this counter will be reset to 0.  
And it will also count again once STP topology Change is completed.

3-14-2. STP Configuration  
The STP, Spanning Tree Protocol, actually includes RSTP. In the Spanning  
Tree Configuration, there are six parameters open for the user to configure as  
user’s idea. Each parameter description is listed below.  
Function name:  
STP Configuration  
Function description:  
User can set the following Spanning Tree parameters to control STP function  
enable/disable, select mode RSTP/STP and affect STP state machine behavior  
to send BPDU in this switch. The default setting of Spanning Tree Protocol is  
“Disable”.  
Parameter description:  
Spanning Tree Protocol:  
Set 802.1W Rapid STP function Enable / Disable. Default is “Disable”  
Bridge Priority:  
The lower the bridge priority is, the higher priority it has. Usually, the bridge  
with the highest bridge priority is the root. If you want to have the GSW-  
2496 as root bridge, you can set this value lower than that of bridge in the  
LAN. The valid value is 0 ~ 61440. The default is 32768.  
Hello Time:  
Hello Time is used to determine the periodic time to send normal BPDU  
from designated ports among bridges. It decides how long a bridge should  
send this message to other bridge to tell I am alive. When the GSW-2496  
is the root bridge of the LAN, for example, all other bridges will use the  
hello time assigned by this switch to communicate with each other. The  
valid value is 1 ~ 10 in unit of second.  
Default is 2 seconds.  
Max. Age:  
When the GSW-2496 is the root bridge, the whole LAN will apply this  
figure set by this switch as their maximum age time. When a bridge  
received a BPDU originated from the root bridge and if the message age  
conveyed in the BPDU exceeds the Max. Age of the root bridge, the bridge  
will treat the root bridge malfunctioned and issue a Topology Change  
Notification (TCN) BPDU to all other bridges. All bridges in the LAN will re-  
calculate and determine who the root bridge is. The valid value of Max.  
Age is 6 ~ 40 seconds. Default is 20 seconds.

l
Forward Delay:  
You can set the root bridge forward delay time. This figure is set by root  
bridge only. The forward delay time is defined as the time spent from  
Listening state moved to Learning state and also from Learning state  
moved to Forwarding state of a port in bridge. The forward delay time  
contains two states, Listening state to Learning state and Learning state to  
Forwarding state. It assumes that forward delay time is 15 seconds, then  
total forward delay time will be 30 seconds. This has much to do with the  
STP convergent time which will be more than 30 seconds because some  
other factors.  
The valid value is 4 ~ 30 seconds, default is 15 seconds.  
Force Version:  
Two options are offered for the user’s choosing STP algorithm. One is  
RSTP and the other is STP. If STP is chosen, RSTP will run as a legacy  
STP. The switch supports RSTP (802.1w) which is backward compatible  
with STP (802.1d).

3-14-3. STP Port Configuration  
Function name:  
STP Port Setting  
Function description:  
In the STP Port Setting, one item selection and five parameters settings are  
offered for user’s setup. User can disable and enable each port by selecting  
each Port Status item. User also can set “Path Cost” and “Priority” of each port  
by filling in the desired value and set “Admin Edge Port” and “Admin Point To  
Point” by selecting the desired item.  
Parameter description:  
Port Status:  
It displays the current state of a port. We cannot manually set it because it  
displays the status only. There are three possible states. ( according to  
802.1w specification)  
DISCARDING state indicates that this port can neither forward packets  
nor contribute learning knowledge.  
Notice: Three other states (Disable state, BLOCKING state and LISTENING  
state) defined in the 802.1d specification are now all represented as  
DISCARDING state.  
LEARNING state indicates this port can now contribute its learning  
knowledge but cannot forward packets still.  
FORWARDING state indicates this port can both contribute its learning  
knowledge and forward packets normally.  
Path Cost Status:  
It is the contribution value of the path through this port to Root Bridge. STP  
algorithm determines a best path to Root Bridge by calculating the sum of  
path cost contributed by all ports on this path. A port with a smaller path  
cost value would become the Root Port more possibly.  
Configured Path Cost:  
The range is 0 – 200,000,000. In the switch, if path cost is set to be zero,  
the STP will get the recommended value resulted from auto-negotiation of  
the link accordingly and display this value in the field of Path Cost Status.  
Otherwise, it may show the value that the administrator set up in  
Configured Path Cost and Path Cost Status.

l
802.1w RSTP recommended value: (Valid range: 1 – 200,000,000)  
10 Mbps : 2,000,000  
100 Mbps : 200,000  
1 Gbps : 20,000  
Default: 0  
Priority:  
Priority here means Port Priority. Port Priority and Port Number are mixed  
to form the Port ID. Port IDs are often compared in order to determine  
which port of a bridge would become the Root Port. The range is 0 – 240.  
Default is 128.  
Admin Edge Port:  
If user selects “Yes”, this port will be an edge port. An Edge Port is a port  
connected to a device that knows nothing about STP or RSTP. Usually, the  
connected device is an end station. Edge Ports will immediately transit to  
forwarding state and skip the listening and learning state because the edge  
ports cannot create bridging loops in the network. This will expedite the  
convergence. When the link on the edge port toggles, the STP topology  
keeps unchanged. Unlike the designate port or root port though, an edge  
port will transit to a normal spanning-tree port immediately if it receives a  
BPDU.  
Default: No  
Admin Point To Point:  
We say a port is a point-to-point link, from RSTP’s view, if it is in full-duplex  
mode but is shared link if it is in half-duplex mode. RSTP fast convergence  
can only happen on point-to-point links and on edge ports. This can  
expedite the convergence because this will have the port fast transited to  
forwarding state.  
There are three parameters, Auto, True and False, used to configure the  
type of the point-to-point link. If configure this parameter to be Auto, it  
means RSTP will use the duplex mode resulted from the auto-negotiation.  
In today’s switched networks, most links are running in full-duplex mode.  
For sure, the result may be half-duplex, in this case, the port will not fast  
transit to Forwarding state. If it is set as True, the port is treated as point-  
to-point link by RSTP and unconditionally transited to Forwarding state. If it  
is set as False, fast transition to Forwarding state will not happen on this  
port.  
Default: Auto

M Check:  
Migration Check. It forces the port sending out an RSTP BPDU instead of  
a legacy STP BPDU at the next transmission. The only benefit of this  
operation is to make the port quickly get back to act as an RSTP port. Click  
<M Check> button to send a RSTP BPDU from the port you specified.

3-15. Trunking Configuration  
The Port Trunking Configuration is used to configure the settings of Link  
Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full duplex  
and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the  
bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your current Ethernet  
equipments to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if there are three  
Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this logical port has bandwidth  
three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port has.  
The switch supports two kinds of port trunking methods:  
LACP:  
Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad  
specification) as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP  
GroupID (1~8) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using LACP is  
that a port makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a  
ready member of a “trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer  
than the other trunking method - static trunk.  
The switch LACP does not support the followings:  
Link Aggregation across switches  
Aggregation with non-IEEE 802.3 MAC link  
Operating in half-duplex mode  
Aggregate the ports with different data rates  
Static Trunk:  
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique  
Static GroupID (also 1~8, this Static groupID can be the same with another  
LACP groupID) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static  
Trunk method is that a port can immediately become a member of a trunk  
group without any handshaking with its peer port. This is also a  
disadvantage because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not  
know that they should be aggregate together to form a “logic trunked port”.  
Using Static Trunk on both end of a link is strongly recommended. Please  
also note that low speed links will stay in “not ready” state when using  
static trunk to aggregate with high speed links.  
As to system restrictions about the port aggregation function on the switch,  
In the management point of view, the switch supports maximum 8 trunk groups for  
LACP and additional 8 trunk groups for Static Trunk. But in the system capability  
view, only 8 “real trunked” groups are supported. An LACP trunk group with more  
than one ready member-ports is a “real trunked” group. An LACP trunk group with  
only one or less than one ready member-ports is not a “real trunked” group. Any  
Static trunk group is a “real trunked” group.

Per Trunking Group supports a maximum of 12 ready member-ports. Please  
note that some decisions will automatically be made by the system while you are  
configuring your trunking ports. Some configuration examples are listed below:  
a) 12 ports have already used Static Trunk Group ID 1, the 13th port willing  
to use the same Static Trunk Group ID will be automatically set to use  
the “None” trunking method and its Group ID will turn to 0. This means  
the port won’t aggregate with other ports.  
b) 14 ports all use LACP Trunk Group ID 1 at most 12 ports can aggregate  
together and transit into the ready state.  
c) A port using the “None“ trunking method or Group ID 0 will be  
automatically set to use the “None” trunking method with Group ID 0.

This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with other ports.  
None:  
A port does not want to aggregate with any other port should choose  
this default setting.  
LACP:  
A port use LACP as its trunk method to get aggregated with other  
ports also using LACP.  
Static:  
A port use Static Trunk as its trunk method to get aggregated with  
other ports also using Static Trunk.  
Group:  
Ports choosing the same trunking method other than “None” must be  
assigned a unique Group number (i.e. Group ID, valid value is from 1 to 8)  
in order to declare that they wish to aggregate with each other.  
Active LACP:  
This field is only referenced when a port’s trunking method is LACP.  
Active:  
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner right  
after the LACP protocol entity started to take control of this port.  
Passive:  
A Passive LACP port will not actively send LACPDU out before it  
receives an LACPDU from its link partner.

Aggtr:  
Aggtr is an abbreviation of “aggregator”. Every port is also an aggregator,  
and its own aggregator ID is the same as its own Port No. We can regard  
an aggregator as a representative of a trunking group. Ports with same  
Group ID and using same trunking method will have the opportunity to  
aggregate to a particular aggregator port. This aggregator port is usually  
the port with the smallest Port No. within the trunking group.  
Status:  
This field represents the trunking status of a port which uses a trunking  
method other than “None”. It also represents the management link status  
of a port which uses the “None” trunking method. “---“ means “not ready”

3-16. 802.1X Configuration  
802.1X port-based network access control provides a method to restrict  
users to access network resources via authenticating user’s information. This  
restricts users from gaining access to the network resources through a 802.1X-  
enabled port without authentication. If a user wishes to touch the network through a  
port under 802.1X control, he (she) must firstly input his (her) account name for  
authentication and waits for gaining authorization before sending or receiving any  
packets from a 802.1X-enabled port.  
Before the devices or end stations can access the network resources through  
the ports under 802.1X control, the devices or end stations connected to a  
controlled port send the authentication request to the authenticator, the  
authenticator pass the request to the authentication server to authenticate and verify,  
and the server tell the authenticator if the request get the grant of authorization for  
the ports.  
According to IEEE802.1X, there are three components implemented. They  
are Authenticator, Supplicant and Authentication server shown in Fig. 3-53.  
Supplicant:  
It is an entity being authenticated by an authenticator. It is used to  
communicate with the Authenticator PAE (Port Access Entity) by  
exchanging the authentication message when the Authenticator PAE  
request to it.  
Authenticator:  
An entity facilitates the authentication of the supplicant entity. It controls  
the state of the port, authorized or unauthorized, according to the result of  
authentication message exchanged between it and a supplicant PAE. The  
authenticator may request the supplicant to re-authenticate itself at a  
configured time period. Once start re-authenticating the supplicant, the  
controlled port keeps in the authorized state until re-authentication fails.  
A port acting as an authenticator is thought to be two logical ports, a  
controlled port and an uncontrolled port. A controlled port can only pass the  
packets when the authenticator PAE is authorized, and otherwise, an  
uncontrolled port will unconditionally pass the packets with PAE group  
MAC address, which has the value of 01-80-c2-00-00-03 and will not be  
forwarded by MAC bridge, at any time.  
Authentication server:  
A device provides authentication service, through EAP, to an authenticator  
by using authentication credentials supplied by the supplicant to determine  
if the supplicant is authorized to access the network resource.

l
The overview of operation flow for the Fig. 3-53 is quite simple. When  
Supplicant PAE issues a request to Authenticator PAE, Authenticator and  
Supplicant exchanges authentication message. Then, Authenticator  
passes the request to RADIUS server to verify. Finally, RADIUS server  
replies if the request is granted or denied.  
While in the authentication process, the message packets, encapsulated  
by Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL), are exchanged  
between an authenticator PAE and a supplicant PAE. The Authenticator  
exchanges the message to authentication server using EAP encapsulation.  
Before successfully authenticating, the supplicant can only touch the  
authenticator to perform authentication message exchange or access the  
network from the uncontrolled port.

In the Fig. 3-54, this is the typical configuration, a single supplicant, an  
authenticator and an authentication server. B and C is in the internal network, D is  
Authentication server running RADIUS, switch at the central location acts  
Authenticator connecting to PC A and A is a PC outside the controlled port, running  
Supplicant PAE. In this case, PC A wants to access the services on device B and C,  
first, it must exchange the authentication message with the authenticator on the port  
it connected via EAPOL packet. The authenticator transfers the supplicant’s  
credentials to Authentication server for verification. If success, the authentication  
server will notice the authenticator the grant. PC A, then, is allowed to access B and  
C via the switch. If there are two switches directly connected together instead of  
single one, for the link connecting two switches, it may have to act two port roles at  
the end of the link: authenticator and supplicant, because the traffic is bi-directional.

Supplicant A  
The Fig. 3-55 shows the procedure of 802.1X authentication. There are steps  
for the login based on 802.1X port access control management. The protocol used  
in the right side is EAPOL and the left side is EAP.  
1.  
At the initial stage, the supplicant A is unauthenticated and a port  
on switch acting as an authenticator is in unauthorized state. So the  
access is blocked in this stage.  
2.  
Initiating a session. Either authenticator or supplicant can initiate  
the message exchange. If supplicant initiates the process, it sends  
EAPOL-start packet to the authenticator PAE and authenticator will  
immediately respond EAP-Request/Identity packet.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
The authenticator always periodically sends EAP-Request/Identity  
to the supplicant for requesting the identity it wants to be  
authenticated.  
If the authenticator doesn’t send EAP-Request/Identity, the  
supplicant will initiate EAPOL-Start the process by sending to the  
authenticator.  
And next, the Supplicant replies an EAP-Response/Identity to the  
authenticator. The authenticator will embed the user ID into Radius-  
Access-Request command and send it to the authentication server  
for confirming its identity.  
6.  
7.  
After receiving the Radius-Access-Request, the authentication  
server sends Radius-Access-Challenge to the supplicant for asking  
for inputting user password via the authenticator PAE.  
The supplicant will convert user password into the credential  
information, perhaps, in MD5 format and replies an EAP-Response  
with this credential information as well as the specified  
authentication algorithm (MD5 or OTP) to Authentication server via  
the authenticator PAE. As per the value of the type field in message  
PDU, the authentication server knows which algorithm should be  
applied to authenticate the credential information, EAP-MD5  
(Message Digest 5) or EAP-OTP (One Time Password) or other  
else algorithm.

l
8.  
9.  
If user ID and password is correct, the authentication server will  
send a Radius-Access-Accept to the authenticator. If not correct,  
the authentication server will send a Radius-Access-Reject.  
When the authenticator PAE receives a Radius-Access-Accept, it  
will send an EAP-Success to the supplicant. At this time, the  
supplicant is authorized and the port connected to the supplicant  
and under 802.1X control is in the authorized state. The supplicant  
and other devices connected to this port can access the network. If  
the authenticator receives a Radius-Access-Reject, it will send an  
EAP-Failure to the supplicant. This means the supplicant is failed to  
authenticate. The port it connected is in the unauthorized state, the  
supplicant and the devices connected to this port won’t be allowed  
to access the network.  
10. When the supplicant issue an EAP-Logoff message to  
Authentication server, the port you are using is set to be  
unauthorized.

Only Normal 802.1X is the type of authentication supported in the switch. In  
this mode, for the devices connected to this port, once a supplicant is authorized,  
the devices connected to this port can access the network resource through this  
port.

wraps around in the switch box. As to the latter test function, it will send the test  
signal to its link partner. If you do not have them connected to active network  
devices, i.e. the ports are link down, the switch will report the port numbers  
failed. If they all are ok, it just shows OK.  
Note: Whatever you choose Internal Loopback Test or External Loopback Test,  
these two functions will interfere with the normal system working, and all  
packets in sending and receiving also will stop temporarily.

4-2. Commands of CLI  
To see the commands of the mode, please input “?” after the prompt, then all  
commands will be listed in the screen. All commands can be divided into two  
categories, including global commands and local commands. Global commands can  
be used wherever the mode you are. They are “exit”, “end”, “help”, “history”, “logout”,  
“save start”, “save user”, “restore default” and “restore user”. For more details,  
please refer to Section 4-2-1.  
Command instructions reside in the corresponding modes are local  
commands. The same command with the same command name may occur but  
perform totally different function in different modes. For example, “show” in IP mode  
performs displaying the IP information; however, it performs displaying the system  
information in system mode.

5. Maintenance  
5-1. Resolving No Link Condition  
The possible causes for a no link LED status are as follows:  
z
z
z
z
The attached device is not powered on  
The cable may not be the correct type or is faulty  
The installed building premise cable is faulty  
The port may be faulty  
5-2. Q&A  
1. Computer A can connect to Computer B, but cannot connect to Computer C  
through the Managed Switch.  
9
The network device of Computer C may fail to work. Please check the  
link/act status of Computer C on the LED indicator. Try another network  
device on this connection.  
9
The network configuration of Computer C may be something wrong. Please  
verify the network configuration on Computer C.  
2. The uplink connection function fails to work.  
9
The connection ports on another must be connection ports. Please check if  
connection ports are used on that Managed Switch.  
Please check the uplink setup of the Managed Switch to verify the uplink  
function is enabled.  
9
3. The console interface cannot appear on the console port connection.  
9
The COM port default parameters are [Baud Rate: 57600, Data Bits: 8,  
Parity Bits: None, Stop Bit: A, Flow Control: None]. Please check the COM  
port property in the terminal program. And if the parameters are changed,  
please set the COM configuration to the new setting.  
9
9
Check the RS-232 cable is connected well on the console port of the  
Managed Switch and COM port of PC.  
Check if the COM of the PC is enabled.  
4. How to configure the Managed Switch?  
9
The “Hyperterm” is the terminal program in Win95/98/NT. Users can also use  
any other terminal programs in Linux/Unix to configure the Managed Switch.  
Please refer to the user guide of that terminal program. But the COM port  
parameters (baud rate/ data bits/ parity bits/ flow control) must be the same  
as the setting of the console port of the Managed Switch.
