  • Page 27: Trunk Configuration

    Trunk Configuration Port Trunking is the ability to group together several switch ports to increase the bandwidth between Compex SXP2224WM and other switch/es. This is an inexpensive method to increase throughput between switches. We define the Port Trunking as the ability to group a set of ports into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as single link between switches.
  • Page 28: Examples On Port Trunking

    6.3.1 Examples on Port Trunking From Figure 6.3b, two Compex SXP2224WM units are used to perform the trunking ability. For unit 1, port 1 and 5 are selected as trunking ports; and port 26 is connected to a control station. For unit 2, port 5 and 6 are selected as trunking ports.

From the control station, logon to http://192.168.100.128. Go to the main menu and select Trunk Configuration option.
  • Page 30: Virtual Lan Configuration

    However, all data packets in a VLAN are constrained, so different end stations in different VLANs cannot communicate with each other directly. Compex SXP2224WM not only supports port-based VLAN, i.e. the VLAN is specified by selecting a group of ports VLAN, but also tagged VLAN.
  • Page 31 Figure 6.4b illustrated the setup of port based VLAN in a company. Port 2 and 6 of Compex SXP2224WM are attached to two Ethernet switches ; Port 16 and 24 are attached an Ethernet switch individually. When Port 2 and 6 are assigned as port based VLAN, the PCs in VLAN 1 will be able to communicate with one another within the same VLAN.
  • Page 32 Chapter 6 Configure Compex SXP2224WM using Web Interface Enter the value “1” in the VLAN Group field and select the port members (port 2 and 6). Figure 6.4d Adding members into PortBased VLAN Group 1 Click on the “Apply” button and you will see the updated screen as shown in Figure 6.4e.

  • Page 35: Port Monitoring Configuration

    Chapter 6 Configure Compex SXP2224WM using Web Interface Port Monitoring Configuration This function allows you to set up a ‘mirror’ port of any specified port/s from 1 to 26, such that you can monitor the transmitted or received traffics of the monitored port/s without intervening them.
  • Page 36 Chapter 6 Configure Compex SXP2224WM using Web Interface Go to Port Monitoring option from the main menu. Select “RX & TX” in the Port Monitoring Mode field. Choose port 24 as a monitoring port Put a tick at the check box of port 1 and 5 to set as a monitored ports.
  • Page 37: Qos Configuration

    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), etc. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency. With this ability, Compex SXP2224WM is able to improve the loss characteristics and ensure that the priority for one or more flows does not make other flow fails.
  • Page 38 If a normal packet is transmitted from a “high” or “low” setting port, Compex SXP2224WM will deliver all the packets to its designated port according to the QoS mode ratio setting. 802.1p* Priority section If a tagged packet is being transmitted from any port, it will directs the packet to the global setting.
  • Page 39: Bandwidth Control

    This means that users are forced to restructure their operations due to network load limitations. To overcome this problem, Compex SXP2224WM is specially designed to control the bandwidth using relatively bandwidth technique. It enables you to specify the maximum line bandwidth (in Mbps) that a particular...
