EATURES AND ENEFITS NTRODUCTION The Tiger Switch SMC8024L2 is a high performance managed switch that delivers performance and control to your network. It provides 24 full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network performance and boost throughput using features configured through the web interface.
Page 10: Initial Configuration
The following procedure is recommended: 1. Place your Tiger Switch close to the PC that you will use to configure it. It will help if you can see the front panel of the switch while working on your PC.
Page 11 6. From the menu, click on SYSTEM, then click on LAN Settings. On the LAN Settings page, enter the new IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address for the switch, then click on the APPLY button. No other configuration changes are required at this stage, but it is recommended that you change the administrator’s password before...
Page 12: Configuring The Switch
(Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above). Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first performed the following tasks: 1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Page 13: Navigating The Web Browser Interface
To access the web-browser interface you must first enter a password. The user has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. The default password for the switch is “smcadmin.” If user input is not detected within five minutes, the current session will be terminated.

ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Click PORTS, Settings. Port Configuration You can use the Port Configuration page to manually fix the speed, duplex mode, and flow control. Field Attributes • Speed/Duplex – Allows you to manually set the port speed and duplex mode.
Page 33: Configuring Rate Limits
Rate limiting is configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the switch. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Page 34 Web – Click PORTS, Rate Limiting. This page enables you to set the rate limiting parameters for each port on the Switch. Figure 16 Rate Limiting...
Page 35: Storm Control
• Rate(number of frame per second) – The Rate field is set by a single drop-down list. The same threshold is applied to every port on the switch. When the threshold is exceeded, packets are dropped, irrespective of the flow-control settings.
Page 36: Port Mirroring
WITCH Web – Click PORTS, Storm Control. This page enables you to set the broadcast storm control parameters for every port on the Switch. Port Mirroring You can mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis.
Page 37: Cable Diagnostic
Input rate-limiting in conjunction with port flow-control could be used to ensure that the total ingress bandwidth never exceeds the egress bandwidth. Web – Click PORTS, Port Mirroring.
Page 38: Trunks Membership
This is the default state. • Trunk T1-T8 – These columns correspond to the eight trunks that are supported by the Switch. Clicking on the radio button in any one of these columns causes the port to become a member of the corresponding trunk.

Page 42: Lacp Status
ONFIGURING THE WITCH LACP Status This page displays the LACP status of the switch. LACP Aggregation Shows the status of each port. The LACP Aggregation table has one row for each LACP group. Normal means no LACP group is active. For active LACP groups, a new row is created from which the status of its port members are displayed.
Page 43: Vlan Settings
ONFIGURATION Web – Click TRUNKS, LACP Status. Figure 24 LACP Status Overview VLAN Settings You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces, including the default VLAN identifier (PVID) and accepted frame types.

Page 45 are connected to normal VLAN aware switches at the customer network and the network ports are those which are connected to the service provider network. To tunnel the packets through MAN, QinQ needs to be enabled on network ports • Packet Type – Sets the interface to accept all frame types, including tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames.
Page 46: Qos Settings
QoS (Quality of Service) is a mechanism which is used to prioritize certain traffic as it is moves through the switch. Traffic can be classified as High or Normal priority and, when the switch is heavily loaded, it is the Normal priority packets that are dropped first.
Page 47 Note: Because end-stations, like PCs, are not usually VLAN aware, they do not create VLAN-tagged frames. As a result, this method of prioritization is not ideal when there are a lot of PCs connected to the Switch. DSCP Packets are prioritized using the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value.
Page 48: Rstp
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure...
Page 49 Field Attributes • System Priority – This parameter configures the spanning tree priority globally for this switch. The device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
Page 50 The RSTP Bridge Overview table has one row to display settings for the whole switch. Hello Time, Maximum Age and Forward Delay are displayed. Topology shows the switch current state. Root ID indicates the root port ID for the switch.
Page 51: 802.1X
Field Attributes • Port/Trunk - Port/Trunk ID number. • VLAN ID - VLAN IDs of the port. • Path Cost - Show the path cost on this port. • Edge Port - Yes if the port is an edge port which connects to an end station.
Page 52 • Reauthentication Enabled - Sets the client to be re-authenticated after the interval specified by the Re-authentication Period. Re-authentication can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port. • Reauthentication Period - Sets the time period after which a connected client must be re-authenticated.
Page 53 The reason for a "quiet-period" follows: If a re-authentication fails, the IEEE802.1X standard enforces a so-called "quiet-period" in which the authenticator (switch) shall be quiet and not re-try another authentication - also packets from supplicant are discarded in this quiet period - this way 'brute-force' attacks are prevented.

Page 55: Security
ONFIGURATION Web – Click 802.1X, Statistics. Figure 30 802.1X Statistics Security IP Filter On this page, you can setup the source IP Filter on all or some ports. It is used to block unwanted access and provide access to the network for either a specific source IP address or a specific subnet.
Page 56 ONFIGURING THE WITCH • Static - Enable source IP filter with configured values in IP Address and IP Mask fields. • DHCP - The IP address for the device connected to this port will be automatically assigned by DHCP server and only frames with the assigned IP address are allowed to access the network.
Page 57 The Port Security table has one row for each port and five columns. When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number.
Page 58 • Send Trap and Deny New Stations - Besides denying the new station, trap message is sent by the switch to report an intrusion action. • Trunk - Display the trunk ID if the port is member of a trunk group.
Page 59 Web – Click Security, Port Cecurity. This page enables you to setup management access filter on the switch. With the Management Access Filter Configuration table, you can create a list of up to 8 IP addresses or IP address groups that are allowed management access to the switch through the web interface or SNMP.

Page 65: Troubleshooting
• Switch port, network card or cable may be defective. Possible Solutions • Check that the switch and attached device are both powered on. • Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices. • Verify that Category 5 or better cable is used for 10/100 Mbps connections, Category 5 or 5e cable for 1000 Mbps connections, and that the length of any cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Page 66 If you have forgotten the administration password you can return the Switch to its factory default state by dong the following: 1. Remove the power cord from the back of the Switch. 2. Remove all cables from the front-panel ports.
