High-Tech • Made in Switzerland 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual and the MAGBES User Manual provide all the information necessary to handle and configure the MAGBES. The manual is written for technical personnel responsible for integrating the MAGBES into their systems.
High-Tech • Made in Switzerland 2 Accessing MAGBES Management Software The MAGBES is manageable via a Web Interface. To access the MAGBES an IP Address is necessary. This address may be fixed, or retrieved from a DHCP Server. To login a Password is required, which should be changed after the first login.
3 System Configuration 3.1 System Status Figure 2: System Status The System Status shows information about the MAGBES Revisions and the System Configuration: The Product Name, Product Number, Serial Number, and the Firmware are used to identify the ● MAGBES.
If disable both Web Interface and Telnet Command Line Interface, the MAGBES will disable the ● configuration interface of the MAGBES. This means that the MAGBES will not use any IP address but will still do the configured jobs as long as they don't require an IP Address (SNMP will not work). To revert in the configurable mode the "default switch"...
● System Status). The Password must be retyped to ensure that no typos have been filled in. If you have forgotten the Password you have to set the MAGBES to default as it is described in the MAGBES User Manual.
WARNING: Upload, viewing and download XML files uses much memory. Using large XML files may lead to an “out of RAM” condition, which may lead to a restart of the MAGBES. So it is not recommended to use this feature in a production network.
100MBit Full-Duplex, 100MBit Half-Duplex, 10MBit Full-Duplex, and 10MBit Half-Duplex: these ● settings are used to force the MAGBES to these Speeds and Duplex-Modes. Warning: When using one of these Modes, the Link Partner must be set to the exact same settings.

2 pairs instead of the required 4 pairs, they may negotiate to 1000Base-T but will fail to link. If downshift is enabled MAGBES will advertise the next lower speed after the 1000Base-T link fails 3 times. This feature is ignored in other modes than Auto (1GBit).
The Port Configuration for SFP works similar to the one for Copper with the difference, that the settings allow only the SPF supported Speeds. If the SFP is not supported by the MAGBES the Settings drop down box is fixed on Disabled.
Port1 (Production Workstation) or Port2 (Production Workstation). Warning: Please make sure that the Port you use to configure the MAGBES is enabled in one VLAN. Otherwise the connection to the internal CPU is lost, and you have to press the Default Switch to enable access to the internal CPU again.
VID. All changes to the VLAN configuration takes only place when check it and press the send button. Management VLAN ID: The ID of the VLAN within management of the MAGBES is possible, if the • VLAN is enabled.
Production Workstation 1 to Server/Router: Production Workstation 1 sends an untagged Frame to MAGBES 1 Port 0. ● MAGBES 1 adds the VLAN tag with the VID 15 to the Frame and forwards this frame to Port 4 ● Server/Router.
Production Workstation 2 to Server/Router: Production Workstation 2 sends an untagged Frame to MAGBES 2 Port 0. ● MAGBES 2 adds the VLAN tag with the VID 15 to the Frame and forwards this frame to Port 4 ● MAGBES 1.
High-Tech • Made in Switzerland 4.5 Quality Of Service (QoS) The Quality of Service function is used to setup the MAGBES to treat the Ethernet traffic according the type of the frames. This can be achieved by setting priorities to the frames.
This is the value found either in the Destination MAC, Source MAC, VID Priority, IEEE 802.1ac, or Default Priority. Switch Priority: This is the priority with which the frame will be treated in the MAGBES. The Frame will egress the MAGBES with the same priority settings it ingresses, unless “Replace Priority” is enabled.
The MAGBES supports the replacing of priority on a per Port basis Figure 25: Port Settings for QoS By clicking on the Replace Priority entry it is possible to configure MAGBES to egress a frame with another priority as the frame was received.
MAC address on a port, and changing the priority of a frame with a particular MAC address. Figure 26: MAC Authentication With the Button “Add MAC”, a new MAC Address can be loaded into the MAGBES. The MAC Address will be stored into the Address Translating Unit as static (not aging) entry.
If marked, the IP address is valid Community: The MAGBES supports SNMPv1 only. This string is used to distinguish between different users with different rights. Normally the string “public” is used for Read Only access, and the string “private” is used for Read/Write access.
MAGBES 1: All ports are Designated Ports. Ports 0, 3, and 4 are also Edge Ports. MAGBES 2: Ports 0, 2, and 3 are Designated Ports. Port 4 is the Root Port. Port 1 is a Backup Port. MAGBES 3: Ports 1 and 3 are Designated Ports. Port 4 is the Root Port. Port 0 is an Alternate Root Port.

MAGBES-2 decides to use the Port4 as new Root Port and lets the MAGBES 3 know. MAGBES 3 changes the Port Role of Port 0 from Alternate Root Port to Designated Port. MAGBES 4 decides to use the Alternate Root Port 4 as new Root Port and sets the old Root Port 0 to the Alternate Root Port.
Please make sure that the “Port Cost Mode” is the same on all Bridges in the network. Fast Root Fail Det: If the MAGBES detects a Root Bridge Failure it will accelerate the outdating of the information of the failing Root Bridge. This option is not according the IEEE802.1D Standard.
Port Priority for this port. Can be a value between 0 and 240 in 16 steps. The lower the value the higher the priority. Cost: Either Auto or Manual. If set to Auto the MAGBES calculates the Port Cost according the detected Speed. If set to Manual the Value will be taken. Edge:...
Path Cost = 8 Since the Path cost on MAGBES 2 P1 is smaller than the one of P4, MAGBES 2 select P1 as Root Port. By changing the Port Cost on MAGBES 2 P1 to 16 (Port Cost: Manual 16), MAGBES will use P4 as Root Port.
Path Cost = 8 Since the Port ID of MAGBES 2 P3 (128, 3) is smaller than the one of MAGBES 2 P4 (128, 4), MAGBES 4 selects P3 as Root Port. By changing the Port Priority of MAGBES 2 P4 to 112, MAGBES 4 will use P1 as Root Port.
4.10.4.3 STP and VLAN MAGBES currently supports only the RSTP according IEEE802.1D 2004. Since this is not a “per VLAN RSTP” it is not possible to have a spanning tree for each VLAN. Instead all ports used for links between the Bridges should be configured to be member of all VLAN ID's.
The implemented Telnet Server will only allow one connected client. ● 5.1 Login After connecting the MAGBES with a “Telnet” command, MAGBES will ask for a password. This is the same as the one used for the Web Interface. MAGBES Admin Login...
Since the update process will kill the telnet server, no further messages will be displayed. ● 5.15 Configuration file handling It is also possible to configure the entire MAGBES with a configuration file. See chapter 6 Configuration File for further information on configuration file support. 5.15.1 Upload a configuration file The configuration file will be loaded to the upload area in like a firmware binary.
CLI: config apply Configuration saved, Please reboot the MAGBES 5.15.5 Download the current configuration as configuration file There is no transfer protocol implemented which allows to download the configuration directly. But since the configuration file is a text (xml) file, the file will be displayed and can be saved with “copy &...
MAC Address of the MAGBES. This value is read-only, but will be checked on ● applying. This means, that if the MAC Address in the file is not the same as the one of the MAGBES, the configuration will not be accepted.
MAGBES Technical Reference Manual High-Tech • Made in Switzerland dhcp-timeout is the time the MAGBES tries to retrieve IP settings via the DHCP. If this time elapsed ● after valid link detection, the MAGBES uses the dhcp-fallback IP Address. dhcp-fallback is the IP Address which will be used after the dhcp-timeout has elapsed.
For each IEEE priority (0 to 7) a <ieee-prio> exists: ieee-tag is the IEEE802.1p priority tag. Allowed values are “0” to “7”. ● The value of the <ieee-prio> tag contains the priority string which is used within the MAGBES. ● Allowed values are “low”, “normal”, “high” and “highest”.
