PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENT 'QUICK START' BEFORE INSTALLING THIS EQUIPMENT XSNet 2800 SW v.3 Part I: description, features, hardware installation 1. General description XSNet 2800 SW switches will handle eight electrical (Ethernet) data streams, and also provide two 2800 independent gigabit optical uplinks through SFP single-... -
Page 4: Installation
IP address and subnet mask, and if necessary the gateway address, for initial installation. 3.2. Hardware installation A Eurocassette module will slot into an Optelecom-NKF power supply cabinet, model MC 11 or similar. A stand-alone model may be mounted in any suitable environment that will not make it overheat or malfunction in other respects: some natural air circulation, moisture lockout and prevention of dust or grime accumulation are always desirable. -
Page 5: Part Ii: Configuration Pages
Part II: Configuration pages 1. Logging in Logging in to the XSNet 2800 SW internal http server enables the user to configure the switch without using separate application software. A standard Web browser will suffice to find the module by its IP address. - Page 6 After completing login, the Home page (see the Homepage section) will appear. Figures 3a,b.

2. XSNet 2800 Home page This page (see figure 4) has the following sections: Identification pane: administrative data, including the article code, serial number, software version, and uptime Labels pane: label entries (editable) Status pane: an alarm status overview (alarms active or not), including the level of the highest occurring configured alarm (Module status field). -

3. XSNet 2800 network settings Figure 5. Network page For correct functioning of the 2800 SW, it is essential to set its network addressing to be compatible with the subnet it is hooked into; see figure 5. The Network settings pane shows the IP address. It is essential to set at least this address correctly and to keep the value on record, otherwise management of the switch will require special software. -
Page 9: Xsnet 2800 Sw Alarms
4. XSNet 2800 SW alarms The Alarms settings page shows the Status and Alarm level settings panes. 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 10: Sw Vlans
5. 2800 SW VLANs XSNet 2800 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. -
Page 11: Vlan Control And Vlan Port Control
VLAN Control and VLAN Port Control Before any entry on this page is made, the list on the VLAN Entries page must be filled in. Figure 8. 2800 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 12: Settings Example
- 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. -

Page 14: Xsnet 2800 Sw Quality Of Service (Qos)
6. XSNet 2800 SW Quality of Service (QoS) Figure 13. 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 2800 SW instates two priority levels (high/low) and corresponding queues, used in case of network congestion. -
Page 15: Xsnet 2800 Snmp Management By Traps And/Or Polling
Figure 14. 2800 SW SNMP settings Traps Traps generated by the XSNet 2800 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 16: Polling
The 2800 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. Polling Depending on facilities offered by the SNMP manager, a number of variables can be read out and in a few cases be edited and set. -
Page 17: Xsnet 2800 Sw Rstp
RSTP and the 2800 SW The XSNet 2800 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 18 Each port 1-10 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 9-10 are factory set to be non-edge ports;...
- Page 19 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 2800 SW (R)STP with RSTP not enabled...

Page 20: Xsnet 2800 Multicast Settings
On receipt of a leave message, a port will either (1) if it is an non-edge port, ignore it because still other clients may have subscribed themselves to that particular multicast stream, or (2) if it is an edge port (such as in an end- node device), be disabled for this stream. Figure 19. XSNet 2800 SW multicast settings... -
