    Part I: description, features, hardware installation 1. General description XSNet 1800 SW switches have four electrical Ethernet ports, and also provide up to two independent 100 Mbit optical uplinks through either dual multimode or dual single-mode fibres (one fibre pair per port), at wavelengths of 850 nm (MM), 1310 nm, or CWDM (SM), the latter for longer spans.

In the Status pane, the Module Status entry shows the highest level of the occurring and configured alarms, while the other fields in that pane represent the actual status of some alarms.
  • Page 11: Sw Vlans

    XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages 5. 1800 SW VLANs XSNet 1800 switches support up to 50 virtual tagged LANs, organizing ports into separate groups. These VLANs are to be enabled from the VLAN Control menu with at least one entry in the VLAN Port Control menu, and a management VLAN defined.

Figure 8. 1800 SW VLAN control and Port Control settings If - in the VLAN Control pane - the VLAN Enable box is checked, it is possible to add, remove or modify Q-tags in packets, according to the ingress rules set in the VLAN Port Control pane (see figures 8 and 11).
  • Page 13: Settings Example

    XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages - incoming non-Q frames can be handled as follows (see figure 10): a default Q-tag can be inserted the priority inside the tag is preserved (this if the VLAN ID is zero but a priority value is set) they can be dropped ( this also for tags in which the VLAN ID is zero) Figure 10.

The example has QoS enabled, weights of 4 and 1, ports 1-3 set to high priority, and a TCI-threshold of 4. Enabling QoS on the 1800 SW instates two priority levels (high/low) and corresponding queues, used in case of network congestion.

    Figure 14. 1800 SW SNMP se ttings Traps Traps generated by the XSNet 1800 SW can be caught by any SNMP manager. Traps can be generated by configuring an alarm level A-N on the Alarm settings page for the available events or variables to be monitored using the SNMP manager program.
  • Page 17: Polling

    XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages The 1800 SW will always generate cold boot and port link up traps (if connected) while booting; this behaviour is fixed through using the SNMP MIB group mgmt:snmp:snmp-Traps:TrapsInfo (in RFC1213-MIB). Link- down/up traps will be sent when a port is disconnected and connected, respectively.
  • Page 18: Xsnet 1800 Sw Rstp

    The 1800 SW and RSTP The XSNet 1800 SW can use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, which can be enabled or disabled for the switch as a whole, not per VLAN. Port configuration for this protocol works as follows (see the tables in figure 17): under General RSTP settings, specify the values for Bridge priority, Forward delay, Hello time and Max age.
  • Page 19 XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages Each port 1-6 can be set to be either an edge port or a non-edge port. Edge ports should not be connected to form loops, since rapid spanning-tree will ignore edge ports. Optical ports 5-6 are factory set to be non-edge ports;...
  • Page 20 STP configuration: the ports are all forwarding (see figure 18). To force full compatibility with STP-only equipment from the start, you will need additional MX configuration software (set the internal variable Force Version to zero). Figure 18.

    XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages 9. XSNet 1800 multicast settings The 1800 SW series switches support multicasting, each group of receivers listening to its own source. Inside a switch, regular unicast traffic only passes through the central switch matrix, unaffected by the multicast switch mode.
  • Page 22: Xsnet 1800 Sw Port Settings

    XSNet 1800 SW v3 Pt. II: Configuration pages 10. XSNet 1800 SW Port Settings While in a network, enabled ports in the 1800 SW will have to use a link mode compatible with ports of connected devices. This can be done by selecting auto-negotiation (see the ‘link mode’ column in the table below) or by setting duplex/half duplex and link speed per port manually.
