5-2. Port Status State: Displays port status off or on depending on user setting. “Unlink” means the port is offline or “off ”. Link Status: Down is “No Link”, UP is “Link”. Auto Negotiation: Displays the auto negotiation mode. There are three selections: Auto, Force and Nway-force.
The following information provides a view of the current status of the unit. Pressing the Reset button will return all counts to zero. Left click mouse on the desired port on the graphical image of the switch to get specific information for that port.
5-4. Administrator The management functions include IP address, switch settings, console port information, port controls, trunking, filter database, VLAN configuration, spanning tree, port mirroring, SNMP, security manager, TFTP update firmware, configuration backup, system reset, and reboot.
5-4-1. IP Address The IP Settings can be changed by entering new values and clicking the Apply button. The switch must be reset for the new IP address to take effect. Default IP: 192.168.1.77 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.6...
System Location: Displays the location of the device. System Description: Displays the name of the device type. Firmware Version: Displays the switch’s downloaded firmware version. Kernel version: Displays write to default EEPROM value version. Hardware Version: Displays the switch’s hardware version.
Max bridge transmit delay bound control: Limits the packets queuing time in the switch. If enabled, the packets that exceed the time limit in the queue will be dropped. This valid values are 1sec, 2 sec, 4 sec and off. Default is 1 second.
Page 105
Weighted Round Robin: This option enables the user to choose a ratio of the number of high priority packets sent before one low priority packet is sent. For example, 2:1 (2 High : 1 Low) will have the switch send 2 high priority packets before sending 1 low priority packet.
Page 106
Qos Policy: High Priority Levels: 0 to 7 priority level can map to a high or low queue. When the VLAN Tag number of a frame is mapping as a high priority level, this frame always has high priority. In this example, the QoS policy applies to the switch, not for a single port.
5-4-2-3. Miscellaneous Setting Collisions Retry Forever: Disabled – In half duplex, if a collision occurs, the switch will retry 48 times and then drop frame. Enabled – In half duplex, if a collision occurs, the switch will retry forever. 802.1x Protocol: Select enable or disable for 802.1x protocol.
Page 108
IGMP Theory of Operation The following three topologies detail how IGMP Query works and to be configured within a network: 1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is smaller than other switches in the subnet.
Page 109
2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is not smaller than other switches in the subnet. This Router supports IGMP protocol, but IGMP has to be enabled, and the Router has to be the Querier.
Page 110
3. The following topology must be set when the IP address of the switch is not the smallest in the subnet. The network will cause a multi-cast storm from the IGMP client report if it is in Auto mode. All switches must be in disable mode when the VOD server is configured for IGMP Querier.
5-4-3. Console Port Information Console is a standard UART interface to communicate with a serial port. The Windows HyperTerminal program can be used to link the switch with the console port. In order to change any of these parameters, you must be connected to the console port.
1 is set to 10Mbps, you can set it’s effective egress rate to 1Mbps and ingress rate to 500Kbps. The switch will perform flow control or backpressure to confine the ingress rate to meet the specified rate.
Page 113
1 to 1000: valid rate value. Priority: This static priority is based on each port setting. If the port priority is set high, incoming frames from this port will always be high priority frames. Security: A port in security mode will be “locked” unless address learning is enabled.
Page 114
5-4-5. Trunking The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances. To reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
5-4-5-1. Aggregator Setting System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP. To create a trunk across two or more ports: 1. Group ID: Choose the "Group ID" and click "Get".
Page 116
configure LACP Active/Passive status for each port. 5. Click the Apply button to save the new configuration. 6. To remove ports from a trunk group, highlight the ports in the table you want to remove and then click the Remove button. To delete a trunk group, highlight the selection in the table you want to delete and then click the Delete button.
5-4-5-3. State Activity Active (selected) : The active port automatically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive (not selected) : The passive port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets, but responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the other device. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking.
5-4-6. Forwarding and Filtering 5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping The switch supports IP multicasting. You can enable IGMP via the web management’s configuration screen. In addition, you can view different multicast groups, VIDs and member ports, and IP multicast addresses that range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
Page 121
IGMP has three fundamental types of messages: Message Description A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) Query asking for a response from each host belonging to the multicast group. A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the...
5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address When a static MAC address is added, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether or not the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the device is disconnected or powered-off.

the port belongs to that VLAN. Enable : Forward only packets with VID matching this port's configured VID. Disable: Disable Ingress filter function. Acceptable Frame Type ALL: All packets are acceptable. Tag Only: Only packets that match the VLAN ID will have permission to go through the port.
When STP is enabled it ensures that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network. Spanning-Tree Protocol can be enabled using web management’s switch setting advanced item, and selecting enable Spanning-Tree protocol. By default, spanning tree is disabled on the switch.
√ appears. This indicates that STP is enabled on the device. After enabling STP, configure the system level functions for the device. The second table displays the current active Root Bridge. The switch will take on the attributes of the active Root Bridge regardless what has been configured above.

The lowest number becomes the forwarding port. The range is 1-65535 and the Path Cost default value is based on IEEE802.1D If you change the value, you must reboot the switch. 10Mb/s = 50-600 100Mb/s = 10-60...
Monitor Port: The ports you want to mirror. All source port traffic will be copied to a mirror port. You can select a maximum of 8 source ports in the switch. If you want to disable the function, you must select monitor port to none.
5-4-10. SNMP Management A SNMP is a protocol that governs the transfer of information between management and agent. The switch supports SNMP V1. Any Network Management station running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the switch provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed.

5-4-11. Security Manager The user can change the user name and password to keep the switch secure. After entering a new user name and password, click the Apply button to submit the changes. The default user name and password are below.
5-4-12. 802.1x You must enable the 802.1x protocol on the miscellaneous section of the Switch Settings menu for changes in this section to take effect. This section deals with the system level and per port configurations to support the IEEE 802.1x authentication and authorization protocol.
5-4-12-2. Per Port Configuration Each port can be configured to one of the following four states: Reject: The specified port is required to be held in the Unauthorized state. Accept: The specified port is required to be held in the Authorized state. Authorized: The specified port is set to the Authorized or Unauthorized state in accordance with the outcome of an authentication exchange between the Supplicant and the authentication server.
Supplicant timeout: Set the period of time the switch waits for a supplicant response to an EAP request. Server timeout: Set the period of time the switch waits for a server response to an authentication request. Max requests: Set the number of authentication that must time-out before authentication fails and the authentication session ends.
5-4-14. Configuration Backup 5-4-14-1. TFTP Restore Configuration The configuration image can be downloaded into the switch from a TFTP server. When restoring the image, care must be taken to download an image made from the same revision level of software as is in use on the switch.
5-4-14-2. TFTP Backup Configuration The current configuration image can be uploaded from the switch to a TFTP server using this page. Use the TFTP Restore Configuration page to download a configuration image to the switch. TFTP Server IP Address: Enter the TFTP server IP address.

Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve some common problems encountered while using the MIL-SME801P switch series. Incorrect connections The RJ-45 port will auto-detect the signal configuration of the cable. For 10/100 Mbps, only two pairs of wires are required for communications. For 1000Base-TX, all four pairs of wire are required.
If the power indicator does not 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.
