For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.” as shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.” as shorthand for “that is” or “in other words” throughout this manual. The EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch will be referred to as the EES-1024AF, or simply as the switch in this manual.
Getting Ready Part I: Getting Ready This part acquaints you with the features and applications of the EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch, instructs you how to make the hardware connections, understand the front panel LEDs and introduces the SMT (System Management Terminal).
The EES-1024AF Intelligent Switch is designed to provide your network with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over twisted pair and fiber optic cabling. Two expansion slots on the front panel of the switch further add to the flexibility of your network systems.
Managing the switch through the console port requires a direct connection between the computer and the switch using the RS-232 console port. You can also telnet into the switch from any computer on your network (provided you know the IP address of the switch and are in the same subnet).
For small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future, the switch is an ideal solution supporting backbone connectivity. The switch can be used as a standalone switch for a group of heavy traffic users. Switching is brought to the desktop either through a single end-station per switch port or through a multi-port switch.
1.5.2 Bridging Example For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, the switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. Used as segment switch, the switch can alleviate user contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect to high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth.
The switch can provide the same bandwidth of FDDI and ATM at much lower costs. In addition, all current adapters and network devices can still be used. The switching cross-domain connection is better than bridge and router because the current LAN structure can be retained in which any node can freely communicate with any other node.
The switch supports up to 4095 tag-based IEEE 802.1Q-compatible virtual LAN (VLANs). Tag-based VLAN Workgroup You can group the switch ports into broadcast domains by assigning them to the same VLAN to increase network capacity and performance. With network segmentation, each switch port connects to a segment that is a single broadcast domain.
Figure 1-4 VLAN Workgroup Application Shared Server The switch’s compliance to the IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN standard allows ports to exist in multiple VLANs for shared resources, such as servers, printers, or Switch-to-Switch connections. It is also possible to have resources exist in multiple VLANs on one switch as shown in the following figure.
EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch Figure 1-5 Shared Server In this example, stations in different VLANs share resources. As a result, VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 can access VLAN 3 for printing. All VLAN port members of VLAN3 can see the broadcasts from ports configured in VLAN3.
The front panel of the switch consists of 24 auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports, two optional expansion slots, and a Console port. The LED indicators are also located on the front panel of the switch. 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): Your switch comes with 24 10/100Mbps auto-sensing ports for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices connections.
Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug and the On/off switch are located at the back of the switch. The ventilation fan is located on the side of the switch. The switch works with AC in the range 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
After all network cables are connected, plug the power cord into the power socket on the back panel and the other end into a power outlet. Turn the power on using the power Switch on the back panel. The switch uses a universal power supply that requires no additional adjustment.
Step 5. the EES-1024AF from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking. Figure 2-4 Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking.
3.1 Introduction With the EES switch’s two expansion slots, you can use optional modules that allow your EES switch to provide 10/100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps connections to other compatible network devices. The optional modules are designed to expand your network area.

7.3 VLAN ( Virtual LAN ) A VLAN ( Virtual LAN ) is a group of switching ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. This feature allows the workgroup to be defined on the basis of their logical location instead of their physical location, and this does not require recalling.
(up to 8) within the same module into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as a single link between switches. Multiple trunks may be implemented in this switch, but only one trunk can be created within a module.
EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch 7.5 STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) Spanning tree is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path must exist between two stations.
The port priority. The smaller this value, the higher priority this port has. State This state of this port. Each port on a switch using STP exists in one of the following five states: Listening, Learning, Forwarding, Blocking or Disabled Path Cost The cost of transmission through this port.
Port Security allows you to restrict the number of MAC addresses residing in a port. For example, if a dummy extension hub is attached to a port on the switch, you can set up the port to allow only two users to access.
EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch 7.7 Port Priority – 802.1p There are two priority queues ( high and low ) on each port. Each port arbitrates between two transmit queues (high and low priority). The arbitration uses weighted round-robin between the high and low priority queues, and you can adjust this weight.
Internet Group Management Protocol ) allow you to query for any attached hosts who want to receive a specific multicast service. The switch looks up the IP Multicast Group used for this service and adds any port which received a similar request to that group. It then propagates the service request on to any neighboring multicast switch to ensure that it will continue to receive the multicast service.
