4. WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT  
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based management.  
4.1 About Web-based Management  
The switch offers management features that allow users to manage the switch from anywhere on the  
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.  
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to  
reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.  
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to  
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.  
4.2 Preparing for Web Management  
Before use web management, you can use console to login the Switch checking the default IP of the  
Switch. Please refer to Console Management Chapter for console login. If you need change IP address  
in first time, you can use console mode to modify it. The default value is as below:  
IP Address: 192.168.0.100  
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0  
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.254  
User Name: admin  
Password: admin  
4.3 System Login  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Launch the Internet Explorer.  
Enter the IP address of the switch.

gateway of 192.168.0.254  
2. The changed IP address take effect immediately after click on the OK button, you need to use the new  
IP address to access the Web interface.  
3. The changed IP address remains the original after reboot the switch unless the configuration is saved.  
To save the changed IP address, please move to System/Saving Parameters menu.  
4.4.2 SNMP  
4.4.2.1 Theory  
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the  
exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control  
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage  
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.  
An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMSs),  
SNMP agents, Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol:  
Network management stations (NMSs)Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute  
management applications that monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMSs are usually  
engineering workstation-caliber computers with fast CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial  
memory, and abundant disk space. At least one NMS must be present in each managed  
environment.  
AgentsAgents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store  
management information such as the number of error packets received by a network element.  
Management information base (MIB)A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a  
virtual information store. Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB  
modules.  
network-management protocolA management protocol is used to convey management  
information between agents and NMSs. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto standard  
management protocol.  
SNMP Operations  
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMSs can send multiple requests without receiving a  
response.  
Get -- Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.  
Set -- Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.  
Trap -- Used by the agent to asynchronously inform the NMS of some event. The SNMPv2 trap  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
message is designed to replace the SNMPv1 trap message.  
SNMP community  
An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It  
helps define where information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. A SNMP  
device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. It will not respond to requests from  
management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP default communities are:  
Write = private  
Read = public  
4.2.2.2 SNMP Configuration  
To configure SNMP management, click on System/SNMP menu button, and the web main page changes  
to the SNMP Management function, as shows in the following:  
The followings are the description of the sub-table.  
1. SNMP Agent Status Configuration  
This block enables to turn on SNMP Agent.  
Enabled / Disabled: To turn on or turn off the SNMP function on the Switch.  
2. System Options  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
This table is to define the system name, system location and the contact person of the switch. These

4.6 Redundancy  
4.6.1 Spanning Tree  
1. Spanning Tree Protocol  
The IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1W Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol allow for the  
blocking of links between switches that form loops within the network. When multiple links between  
switches are detected, a primary link is established. Duplicated links are blocked from use and become  
standby links. The protocol allows for the duplicate links to be used in the event of a failure of the primary  
link. Once the Spanning Tree Protocol is configured and enabled, primary links are established and  
duplicated links are blocked automatically. The reactivation of the blocked links (at the time of a primary  
link failure) is also accomplished automatically without operator intervention.  
This automatic network reconfiguration provides maximum uptime to network users. However, the  
concepts of the Spanning Tree Algorithm and protocol are a complicated and complex subject and must  
be fully researched and understood. It is possible to cause serious degradation of the performance of the  
network if the Spanning Tree is incorrectly configured. Please read the following before making any  
changes from the default values.  
The Switch STP performs the following functions:  
Creates a single spanning tree from any combination of switching or bridging elements.  
Creates multiple spanning trees – from any combination of ports contained within a single switch, in  
user specified groups.  
Automatically reconfigures the spanning tree to compensate for the failure, addition, or removal of  
any element in the tree.  
Reconfigures the spanning tree without operator intervention.  
Bridge Protocol Data Units  
For STP to arrive at a stable network topology, the following information is used:  
The unique switch identifier  
The path cost to the root associated with each switch port  
The por tidentifier  
STP communicates between switches on the network using Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). Each  
BPDU contains the following information:  
The unique identifier of the switch that the transmitting switch currently believes is the root switch  
The path cost to the root from the transmitting port  
The port identifier of the transmitting port  
The switch sends BPDUs to communicate and construct the spanning-tree topology. All switches  
connected to the LAN on which the packet is transmitted will receive the BPDU. BPDUs are not directly  
forwarded by the switch, but the receiving switch uses the information in the frame to calculate a BPDU,  
and, if the topology changes, initiates a BPDU transmission.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The communication between switches via BPDUs results in the following:  
One switch is elected as the root switch  
The shortest distance to the root switch is calculated for each switch  
A designated switch is selected. This is the switch closest to the root switch through which packets  
will be forwarded to the root.  
A port for each switch is selected. This is the port providing the best path from the switch to the root  
switch.  
Ports included in the STP are selected.  
Creating a Stable STP Topology  
It is to make the root port a fastest link. If all switches have STP enabled with default settings, the switch  
with the lowest MAC address in the network will become the root switch. By increasing the priority  
(lowering the priority number) of the best switch, STP can be forced to select the best switch as the root  
switch.  
When STP is enabled using the default parameters, the path between source and destination stations in  
a switched network might not be ideal. For instance, connecting higher-speed links to a port that has a  
higher number than the current root port can cause a root-port change.  
STP Port States  
The BPDUs take some time to pass through a network. This propagation delay can result in topology  
changes where a port that transitioned directly from a Blocking state to a Forwarding state could create  
temporary data loops. Ports must wait for new network topology information to propagate throughout the  
network before starting to forward packets. They must also wait for the packet lifetime to expire for BPDU  
packets that were forwarded based on the old topology. The forward delay timer is used to allow the  
network topology to stabilize after a topology change. In addition, STP specifies a series of states a port  
must transition through to further ensure that a stable network topology is created after a topology  
change.  
Each port on a switch using STP exists is in one of the following five states:  
Blocking – the port is blocked from forwarding or receiving packets  
Listening – the port is waiting to receive BPDU packets that may tell the port to go back to the  
blocking state  
Learning – the port is adding addresses to its forwarding database, but not yet forwarding packets  
Forwarding – the port is forwarding packets  
Disabled – the port only responds to network management messages and must return to the  
blocking state first  
A port transitions from one state to another as follows:  
From initialization (switch boot) to blocking  
From blocking to listening or to disabled

From listening to learning or to disabled  
From learning to forwarding or to disabled  
From forwarding to disabled  
From disabled to blocking  
Switch  
Blocking  
Listening  
Learning

STP Port State Transitions  
You can modify each port state by using management software. When you enable STP, every port on  
every switch in the network goes through the blocking state and then transitions through the states of  
listening and learning at power up. If properly configured, each port stabilizes to the forwarding or  
blocking state. No packets (except BPDUs) are forwarded from, or received by, STP enabled ports until  
the forwarding state is enabled for that port.  
2. STP Parameters  
STP Operation Levels  
The Switch allows for two levels of operation: the switch level and the port level. The switch level forms a  
spanning tree consisting of links between one or more switches. The port level constructs a spanning  
tree consisting of groups of one or more ports. The STP operates in much the same way for both levels.  
NOTICE: On the switch level, STP calculates the Bridge Identifier for each switch and then sets the  
Root Bridge and the Designated Bridges.  
On the port level, STP sets the Root Port and the Designated Ports.  
The following are the user-configurable STP parameters for the switch level:

parameters in the Switch are as follows:  
Priority – A Priority for the switch can be set from 0 to 65535. 0 is equal to the highest Priority.  
Hello Time – The Hello Time can be from 1 to 10 seconds. This is the interval between two  
transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other Switches that it is indeed the Root  
Bridge. If you set a Hello Time for your Switch, and it is not the Root Bridge, the set Hello Time will be  
used if and when your Switch becomes the Root Bridge.  
NOTICE: The Hello Time cannot be longer than the Max. Age. Otherwise, a configuration error will  
occur.  
Max. Age – The Max Age can be from 6 to 40 seconds. At the end of the Max Age, if a BPDU has still not  
been received from the Root Bridge, your Switch will start sending its own BPDU to all other Switches for  
permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns out that your Switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it  
will become the Root Bridge.  
Forward Delay Timer – The Forward Delay can be from 4 to 30 seconds. This is the time any port on the  
Switch spends in the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.  
NOTICE: Observe the following formulas when setting the above parameters:  
Max. Age _ 2 x (Forward Delay - 1 second)  
Max. Age _ 2 x (Hello Time + 1 second)  
Port Priority – A Port Priority can be from 0 to 255. The lower the number, the greater the probability the  
port will be chosen as the Root Port.  
Port Cost – A Port Cost can be set from 0 to 65535. The lower the number, the greater the probability the  
port will be chosen to forward packets.  
3. Illustration of STP  
A simple illustration of three switches connected in a loop is depicted in Figure 5-7. In this example, you  
can anticipate some major network problems if the STP assistance is not applied. If switch A broadcasts  
a packet to switch B, switch B will broadcast it to switch C, and switch C will broadcast it to back to switch  
A ... and so on. The broadcast packet will be passed indefinitely in a loop, potentially causing a network  
failure. In this example, STP breaks the loop by blocking the connection between switch B and C. The  
decision to block a particular connection is based on the STP calculation of the most current Bridge and  
Port settings. Now, if switch A broadcasts a packet to switch C, then switch C will drop the packet at port  
2 and the broadcast will end there. Setting-up STP using values other than the defaults, can be complex.  
Therefore, you are advised to keep the default factory settings and STP will automatically assign root  
bridges/ports and block loop connections. Influencing STP to choose a particular switch as the root  
bridge using the Priority setting, or influencing STP to choose a particular port to block using the Port  
Priority and Port Cost settings is, however, relatively straight forward.

Gigabit ports could be used, but the port cost should be increased from the default to ensure that the link  
between switch B and switch C is the blocked link.  
4.6.2 Spanning Tree Configuration  
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operates on two levels: On the switch level, the settings are globally  
implemented. On the port level, the settings are implemented on a. per user-defined Group of ports.  
1. Spanning Tree Configuration  
The “Rapid Spanning Tree Bridge Configure” table allows configuring the spanning tree parameters.  
Rapid Spanning Tree Status: The spanning tree function of the switch is default disabled. This field  
enables to turn on the spanning tree on the switch.  
Force Protocol Version: 0 for IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree, 2 for IEEE 802.1W Rapid Spanning Tree  
Max Age: (6 - 40 sec) the default setting is 20  
Hello Time: (1 - 10sec) the default setting is 2  
Forward Delay: (4 -30 sec) the default setting is 15  
Bridge Priority: (0 - 61440) the default setting is 32768  
2. Bridge Information  
The informations of the STP Root show in the Bridge Information table.  
3. STP Port Configuration  
The following fields can be set for STP port configuration:  
Port Priority: Defines if this port is more or less likely to become the root port. The range is from 0 to 255,  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
the default setting is 128.The lower number has the highest priority.  
Path Cost: Specifies the path cost of the port. The switch uses this parameter to help determine which  
port will become a forwarding port. Lower numbers will be used as forwarding ports first. The range is  
from 0 to 65535. The default values based on IEEE802.1D are: 10Mb/s = 50-600, 100Mb/s = 10-60,  
1000Mb/s = 3-10  
4.6.3 Link Aggregation  
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging  
information between Partner Systems that require high speed redundant links. Link aggregation lets you  
group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand  
bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, more detail information  
refer to the IEEE 802.3ad standard.  
Port link aggregations can be used to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault  
recovery. Link aggregation lets you group up to 4 consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection  
between any two the Switch or other Layer 2 switches. However, before making any physical  
connections between devices, use the Link Aggregation Configuration menu to specify the link  
aggregation on the devices at both ends. When using a port link aggregation, note that:  
The ports used in a link aggregation must all be of the same media type (RJ-45, 100 Mbps fiber).  
The ports that can be assigned to the same link aggregation have certain other restrictions (see  
below).  
Ports can only be assigned to one link aggregation.  
The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as link aggregation ports.  
None of the ports in a link aggregation can be configured as a mirror source port or a mirror target  
port.  
All of the ports in a link aggregation have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or  
deleted from a VLAN.  
The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat all the ports in a link aggregation as a whole.  
Enable the link aggregation prior to connecting any cable between the switches to avoid creating a  
data loop.  
Disconnect all link aggregation port cables or disable the link aggregation ports before removing a  
port link aggregation to avoid creating a data loop.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
It allows a maximum of eight ports to be aggregated at the same time and up to 12 groups. If the group is  
defined as a LACP static link aggregationing group, then any extra ports selected are placed in a standby  
mode for redundancy if one of the other ports fails. If the group is defined as a local static link  
aggregationing group, then the number of ports must be the same as the group member ports.  
4.7 Security  
4.7.1 VLAN  
4.7.1.1 Theory  
Understanding IEEE 802.1p Priority  
Priority tagging is a function defined by the IEEE 802.1p standard designed to provide a means of  
managing traffic on a network where many different types of data may be transmitted simultaneously. It is  
intended to alleviate problems associated with the delivery of time critical data over congested networks.  
The quality of applications that are dependent on such time critical data, such as video conferencing, can  
be severely and adversely affected by even very small delays in transmission.  
Network devices that are in compliance with the IEEE 802.1p standard have the ability to recognize the  
priority level of data packets. These devices can also assign a priority label or tag to packets. Compliant  
devices can also strip priority tags from packets. This priority tag determines the packet's degree of  
expeditiousness and determines the queue to which it will be assigned.  
Priority tags are given values from 0 to 7 with 0 being assigned to the lowest priority data and 7 assigned  
to the highest. The highest priority tag 7 is generally only used for data associated with video or audio  
applications, which are sensitive to even slight delays, or for data from specified end users whose data  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
transmissions warrant special consideration.  
The Switch allows you to further tailor how priority tagged data packets are handled on your network.  
Using queues to manage priority tagged data allows you to specify its relative priority to suit the needs of  
your network. There may be circumstances where it would be advantageous to group two or more  
differently tagged packets into the same queue. Generally, however, it is recommended that the highest  
priority queue, Queue 1, be reserved for data packets with a priority value of 7. Packets that have not  
been given any priority value are placed in Queue 0 and thus given the lowest priority for delivery.  
A weighted round robin system is employed on the Switch to determine the rate at which the queues are  
emptied of packets. The ratio used for clearing the queues is 4:1. This means that the highest priority  
queue, Queue 1, will clear 4 packets for every 1 packet cleared from Queue 0.  
Remember, the priority queue settings on the Switch are for all ports, and all devices connected to the  
Switch will be affected. This priority queuing system will be especially beneficial if your network employs  
switches with the capability of assigning priority tags.  
VLAN Description  
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical scheme  
rather than the physical layout. VLAN can be used to combine any collection of LAN segments into an  
autonomous user group that appears as a single LAN. VLAN also logically segment the network into  
different broadcast domains so that packets are forwarded only between ports within the VLAN. Typically,  
a VLAN corresponds to a particular subnet, although not necessarily.  
VLAN can enhance performance by conserving bandwidth, and improve security by limiting traffic to  
specific domains.  
A VLAN is a collection of end nodes grouped by logic instead of physical location. End nodes that  
frequently communicate with each other are assigned to the same VLAN, regardless of where they are  
physically on the network. Logically, a VLAN can be equated to a broadcast domain, because broadcast  
packets are forwarded to only members of the VLAN on which the broadcast was initiated.  
NOTICE:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes VLAN  
membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a routing function  
between the VLAN.  
The Switch supports Port-based VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port untagging function can  
be used to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to maintain compatibility with devices that  
are tag-unaware.  
The Switch's default is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN named DEFAULT_VLAN. As  
new VLAN is created, the member ports assigned to the new VLAN will be removed from the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
DEFAULT_ VLAN port member list. The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1.  
Port-based VLAN  
Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port  
are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to  
a switch, or an entire department.  
On port-based VLAN.NIC do not need to be able to identify 802.1Q tags in packet headers. NIC send and  
receive normal Ethernet packets. If the packet's destination lies on the same segment, communications  
take place using normal Ethernet protocols. Even though this is always the case, when the destination for  
a packet lies on another switch port, VLAN considerations come into play to decide if the packet is  
dropped by the Switch or delivered.  
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs  
IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLAN are implemented on the Switch. 802.1Q VLAN require tagging, which  
enables them to span the entire network (assuming all switches on the network are IEEE  
802.1Q-compliant).  
VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains. All packets  
entering a VLAN will only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are  
members of that VLAN, and this includes broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown  
sources.  
VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN will only deliver packets  
between stations that are members of the VLAN. Any port can be configured as either tagging or  
untagging. The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that  
don't recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLAN to span multiple  
802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled  
on all ports and work normally.

MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 in the Ether Type field. When a packet's  
Ether Type field is equal to 0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag. The tag is contained  
in the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priority, 1 bit of Canonical Format Identifier (CFI -  
used for encapsulating Token Ring packets so they can be carried across Ethernet backbones), and 12  
bits of VLAN ID (VID). The 3 bits of user priority are used by 802.1p. The VID is the VLAN identifier and is  
used by the 802.1Q standard. Because the VID is 12 bits long, 4094 unique VLAN can be identified.  
The tag is inserted into the packet header making the entire packet longer by 4 octets. All of the  
information originally contained in the packet is retained.

Port VLAN ID  
Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted from one 802.1Q  
compliant network device to another with the VLAN information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span  
network devices (and indeed, the entire network – if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).  
Every physical port on a switch has a PVID. 802.1Q ports are also assigned a PVID, for use within the  
switch. If no VLAN are defined on the switch, all ports are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID  
equal to 1. Untagged packets are assigned the PVID of the port on which they were received. Forwarding

decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. Tagged packets are forwarded  
according to the VID contained within the tag. Tagged packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is  
not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is.  
Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on the network. The switch  
will compare the VID of a packet to be transmitted to the VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If  
the two VID are different the switch will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for  
untagged packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware and tag-unaware network devices can  
coexist on the same network.  
A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch has memory in its VLAN  
table to store them.  
Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made at each port on a  
tag-aware device before packets are transmitted – should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not?  
If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the  
transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the packet should be tagged.  
Default VLANs  
The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all  
ports on the Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in Port-based mode, their respective  
member ports are removed from the "default."  
VLAN and Trunk Groups  
In order to use VLAN segmentation in conjunction with port link aggregation groups, you can first set the  
port link aggregation group(s), and then you may configure VLAN settings. If you wish to change the port  
link aggregation grouping with VLAN already in place, you will not need to reconfigure the VLAN settings  
after changing the port link aggregation group settings. VLAN settings will automatically change in  
conjunction with the change of the port link aggregation group settings  
4.7.1.2 VLAN Configuration  
Port-based VLAN  
Packets can only be broadcast among other members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected  
ports are treated as belonging to the default system VLAN. If port-based VLAN are enabled, then  
VLAN-tagging is ignored.

802.1Q VLAN  
There are up to 256 configurable VLAN groups. By default when 802.1Q is enabled, all ports on the  
switch belong to default VLAN (VID 1). The default VLAN cannot be deleted.  
Understand nomenclature of the Switch  
Tagging and Untagging  
Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagging or untagging.  
Tagging: Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information  
into the header of all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the  
port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in  
the tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make  
packet-forwarding decisions.  
Untagging: Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into  
those ports. If the packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus,  
all packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information.  
(Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is used to send  
packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.  
Here pay attention to the explainion of “Access” and “Trunk”.  
Access: Ports will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that out of those ports. If the packet doesn’t  
have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all packets received by and  
forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information. Untagging is used to send  
packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.  
Trunk: Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into  
the header of all packets that out of those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port  
will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the tag  
can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make packet forwarding  
decisions.

4.7.5 MAC Address Aging Time  
The Aging Time affects the learning process of the Switch. Dynamic forwarding table entries, which are  
made up of the source and destination MAC addresses and their associated port numbers, are deleted  
from the table if they are not accessed within the aging time.  
The aging time can be from 30 to 1,000,000 seconds with a default value of 300 seconds. A very long  
aging time can result in dynamic forwarding table entries that are out-of-date or no longer exist. This may  
cause incorrect packet forward indecisions by the Switch.  
If the Aging Time is too short however, many entries may be aged out too soon. This will result in a high  
percentage of received packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the forwarding table, in  
which case the switch will broadcast the packet to all ports, negating many of the benefits of having a  
switch.  
Static forwarding entries are not affected by the aging time.  
To set the Aging Time, enter the number in the MAC Address Aging Time field, and click on the “OK”  
button to save. The valid range is 30~1000 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.

4.8 QoS  
4.8.1 Understand QOS  
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioritization feature that allows you to establish control  
over network traffic. QoS enables you to assign various grades of network service to different types of  
traffic, such as multi-media, video, protocol-specific, time critical, and file-backup traffic.  
QoS reduces bandwidth limitations, delay, loss, and jitter. It also provides increased reliability for delivery  
of your data and allows you to prioritize certain applications across your network. You can define exactly  
how you want the switch to treat selected applications and types of traffic.  
You can use QoS on your system to:  
Control a wide variety of network traffic by:  
Classifying traffic based on packet attributes.  
Assigning priorities to traffic (for example, to set higher priorities to time-critical or business-critical  
applications).  
Applying security policy through traffic filtering.  
Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications such as video conferencing or voice  
over IP by minimizing delay and jitter.  
Improve performance for specific types of traffic and preserve performance as the amount of traffic  
grows.  
Reduce the need to constantly add bandwidth to the network.  
Manage network congestion.  
QoS Terminology  
Classifierclassifies the traffic on the network. Traffic classifications are determined by protocol,  
application, source, destination, and so on. You can create and modify classifications. The Switch then  
groups classified traffic in order to schedule them with the appropriate service level.  
DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) is the traffic prioritization bits within an IP header that are encoded by  
certain applications and/or devices to indicate the level of service required by the packet across a  
network.  
Service Leveldefines the priority that will be given to a set of classified traffic. You can create and  
modify service levels.  
Policycomprises a set of “rules” that are applied to a network so that a network meets the needs of the  
business. That is, traffic can be prioritized across a network according to its importance to that particular  
business type.  
QoS Profileconsists of multiple sets of rules (classifier plus service level combinations). The QoS  
profile is assigned to a port(s).  
Rulescomprises a service level and a classifier to define how theSwitch will treat certain types of traffic.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Rules are associated with a QoS Profile (see above).  
To implement QoS on your network, you need to carry out the following actions:  
1.  
2.  
Define a service level to determine the priority that will be applied to traffic.  
Apply a classifier to determine how the incoming traffic will be classified and thus treated by the  
Switch.  
3.  
4.  
Create a QoS profile which associates a service level and a classifier.  
Apply a QoS profile to a port(s).  
4.8.2 QOS Configuration  
QoS settings allow customization of packet priority in order to facilitate delivery of data traffic that might  
be affected by latency problems. The IEEE 802.1p Priority specification uses 8 priority levels to classify  
data packets. In 802.1p compliant devices, a tag inserted into the packet header is used to identify the  
priority level of data packets.  
The Switch supports four kinds of Traffic classifiers: 802.1P/ Port/MAC/VLANs and four queues.  
NOTE: COS: Priority classifiers of the Switch forward packet. COS range is from 0 to 7. Seven is the  
high class. Zero is the less class. The user may configure the mapping between COS and Traffic classifiers.  
1. MAC-COS Mapping  
QoS settings allow customization of MAC address to Traffic classifiers.  
1. Fill the MAC Address field in the MAC-CoS Mapping Configuration Table in the In the format

4.9 Multicast  
4.9.1 IGMP Snooping  
Theory  
Computers and network devices that want to receive multicast transmissions need to inform nearby  
routers that they will become members of a multicast group. The Internet Group Management Protocol  
(IGMP) is used to communicate this information. IGMP is also used to periodically check the multicast  
group for members that are no longer active. In the case where there is more than one multicast router  
on a sub network, one router is elected as the ‘queried’. This router then keeps track of the membership  
of the multicast groups that have active members. The information received from IGMP is then used to  
determine if multicast packets should be forwarded to a given sub network or not. The router can check,  
using IGMP, to see if there is at least one member of a multicast group on a given subnet work. If there  
are no members on a sub network, packets will not be forwarded to that sub network.  
IGMP Versions 1 and 2  
Multicast groups allow members to join or leave at any time. IGMP provides the method for members and  
multicast routers to communicate when joining or leaving a multicast group.  
IGMP version 1 is defined in RFC 1112. It has a fixed packet size and no optional data.  
The format of an IGMP packet is shown below:

0x11 Specific Group Membership Query (if Group Address is Present)  
0x16 Membership Report (version 2)  
0x17 Leave a Group (version 2)  
0x12 Membership Report (version 1)  
IGMP packets enable multicast routers to keep track of the membership of multicast groups, on their  
respective sub networks. The following outlines what is communicated between a multicast router and a  
multicast group member using IGMP.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
A host sends an IGMP “report” to join a group  
A host will never send a report when it wants to leave a group (for version 1).  
A host will send a “leave” report when it wants to leave a group (for version 2).  
Multicast routers send IGMP queries (to the all-hosts group address: 224.0.0.1) periodically to see  
whether any group members exist on their sub networks. If there is no response from a particular group,  
the router assumes that there are no group members on the network.  
The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of query messages is set to 1 so that the queries will not be forwarded to  
other sub networks.  
IGMP version 2 introduces some enhancements such as a method to elect a multicast queried for each  
LAN, an explicit leave message, and query messages that are specific to a given group.  
The states a computer will go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below:

4.10.2 Port Mirror  
Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or  
outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It  
enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.  
Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port  
where those packets will be sent.  
Capture Port: Use this option to select the destination port for monitored traffic. This is the port that your  
network analyzer would be connected to.  
Ingress Port: Duplicate the date transmitted from the source port and forward it to the Capture port.  
Egress Port: Duplicate the data sent to the source and forward it to the Capture port.

5. TROUBLE SHOOTING  
This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on the 8 10/100TX plus 100FX  
Exp. Slot managed POE switch.  
5.1 Incorrect connections  
The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet  
device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs  
twisted cable. If the RJ-45 connector is not correct pin on right position then the link will fail. For fiber  
connection, please notice that fiber cable mode and fiber module should be match.  
5.1.1 Faulty or loose cables  
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are  
snug. IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.  
5.1.2 Non-standard cables  
Non-standard and miss-wired cables may cause numerous network collisions and other network problem,  
and can seriously impair network performance. A category 5-cable tester is a recommended tool for  
every 100Base-T network installation.  
5.1.3 Improper Network Topologies  
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include  
excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, you should make  
sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should  
be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely  
impact your network performance.  
5.2 Diagnosing LED Indicators  
The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying problems, which  
describes common problems you may encounter and where you can find possible solutions.  
IF the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with  
power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running for a while check for loose  
power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF you still cannot resolve the problem,  
contact your local dealer for assistance.

5.2.1 Cabling  
RJ-45 ports: use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections:  
100Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100Category 5 cable for 100Mbps  
connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters  
(328 feet).
