  • Page 13 The System Reboot page allows you to reboot the switch. Click Reboot System to perform a reboot. Security Protected Port page This setting allows the user to prevent the selected ports from communication with each other. Protected ports are allowed to communicate only with unprotected ports. No traffic will be allowed to pass between any two ports both set to “Protected”.
  • Page 14 DoS page A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a device unavailable to its users. DoS attacks saturate the device with external communication requests, so that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic. These attacks usually lead to a device CPU overload. The DoS protection feature is a set of predefined rules that protect the network from malicious attacks.
  • Page 15 TCP SYN-RST Attack: Drops the packets with SYN and RST bits set. ICMP Fragment: Drops the fragmented ICMP packets. TCP- SYN: Drops SYN packets with sport less than 1024. TCP Fragment: Drops the TCP fragment packets with offset equals to one. Ping Max Size: Specify the maximum size of the ICMPv4/ICMPv6 ping packets.

    MAC CONTROL The MAC Address Display page will allow you to view the different mac addresses passing through the ports on the switch. You can click on a port and see the mac address associated with that port. The following image illustrates this. After you have selected a port, you can click bind on a mac address entry and the switch will bind that mac address to the current port.

    along with the MAC Address. The following image illustrates an example of this. Click Add to add the entry. Under Show Static MAC info, you can see all existing Mac bindings on the switch. You can delete an entry by selecting the check box next to it and clicking Delete. VLANS A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology which allows to logically instead of physically segment a LAN into several net segments.
  • Page 28 Enter the VLAN ID and Name for the VLAN and click Apply. You can continue adding VLANs in this manner. To add ports to a VLAN, click on the VLAN under Port Assignments. Note: All ports will belong to VLAN 1 by default.
  • Page 29 You can also configure Hybrid ports in order to pass tagged VLAN traffic with one Primary Untagged VLAN on a port. You will need to add any additional VLANs you configured to the Hybrid ports. To do this, click the edit icon next to one of the Hybrid ports. There will be a blue outline around the box under the (U) column.
  • Page 30 There will then be a blue outline around the box under the (T) column. The (T) indicates the VLANs that will have Tagged data. Click on the remaining VLANs to add them to the port. Click Apply. Repeat these steps for any other Hybrid ports you need to configure. If you need to add another Hybrid port, click the add symbol under the Hybrid section.
  • Page 31 Inter-VLAN communication can only be achieved using a router or other layer 3 devices that are able to perform Layer 3 forwarding. The VLAN configuration page will allow you to use the Pakedge Zone Wizard to setup your different VLANs. Click on Start to begin the wizard.
  • Page 32 Step 2: Select the ports you wish to add to each VLAN. For example, you can select ports 7 and 8 and then drag them to VLAN 2 to add both of those ports to that VLAN. The following image demonstrates this.

  • Page 33: Voice Vlan

    After the VLAN wizard is complete, you will be taken to the advanced VLAN configuration page. VOICE VLAN Using Voice VLAN the switch is able to distinguish whether data is voice data or not according to the source MAC fields of the ingress packets. If the source MAC address conforms to the voice device’s OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) address, the packets will be regarded as voice data flow and the port which has received the voice data flow will automatically join the voice VLAN.
  • Page 34 Port Setup page Voice VLAN Security Mode: Set to enable or disable voice VLAN function. Voice VLAN Aging Time: Input value of aging time. Default is 1440 minutes. A voice VLAN entry will be aged out after this time without any activity. Voice VLAN ID: Select Voice VLAN ID.

  • Page 35: Traffic Menu

    Select the ports that you would like to have the switch listen for voice data. If Voice data is detected, the port will be put into the Voice VLAN. Port: Select the port to apply configurations to. Voice VLAN Port Mode: Set Auto/Manual for Voice VLAN on an interface. Voice VLAN Port Status: Enable/disable the display of voice VLAN mode.

  • Page 36: Qos

    Quality of service is the ability to provide different applications, users, or data flows with different priority, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required bit rate, delay, jitter, packet dropping probability and/or bit error rate may be guaranteed. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP, online games and IP-TV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for...

The actual mapping of the IP precedence to queue can be configured on the IP Precedence mapping Port: Port name CoS: Port default CoS priority value for the selected ports...
  • Page 38 Queue Scheduling page The switch supports eight queues for each interface. Queue number 8 is the highest priority queue. Queue number 1 is the lowest priority queue. There are two ways of determining how traffic in queues is handled, Strict Priority (SP) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Strict Priority (SP)—Egress traffic from the highest priority queue is transmitted first.
  • Page 39 Queue: Queue ID to configure. Strict Priority: Set queue to strict priority type. WRR: Set queue to Weight Round Robin type. Weight: If the queue type is WRR, set the queue weight for the queue (1-127). WRR Bandwidth: Display of the WRR queue bandwidth percentage. CoS Mapping page The CoS Mapping table determines the egress queues of the incoming packets based on the 802.1p priority in their VLAN tags.
  • Page 40 DSCP Mapping page The DSCP to Queue table determines the egress queues of the incoming IP packets based on their DSCP values. The original VLAN Priority Tag (VPT) of the packet is unchanged. Use the Queues to DSCP page to remark DSCP value for egress traffic from each queue.

    IP Precedence Mapping page This page allows users to configure IP Precedence to Queue mapping and Queue to IP Precedence mapping. IP Precedence: IP Precedence value Queue: Select a Queue ID for the IP Precedence value The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network.
  • Page 42 RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) provides significantly faster spanning tree convergence after a topology changes, introducing new convergence behaviors and bridge port roles to do this. RSTP is designed to be backwards-compatible with standard STP. RSTP is typically able to respond to changes within one second while STP can take 30 to 50 seconds to respond to a topology change.
  • Page 43 STP Status: Enable/Disable the STP on the switch. STP Version: Specify the STP operation mode. • STP: Enable the Spanning Tree (STP) operation. • RSTP: Enable the Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) operation. Path Cost: Specify the path cost method. Long: Specifies that the default port path costs are within the range 1-200,000,000. •...
  • Page 44 Priority: Specify the STP path cost on the specified port. Edge Port: Specify the edge mode. Enable: Force to true state (as link to a host). • Disable: Force to false state (as link to a bridge). • In the edge mode, the interface would be put into the Forwarding state immediately upon link up. If the edge mode is enabled for the interface and there are BPDUs received on the interface, the loop might be occurred in the short time before the STP state change.

    IGMP IGMP Snooping page IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the name, is a feature that allows a network switch to listen to on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. By listening to the conversations between hosts and routers, the switch maintains a map of links which need IP multicast streams.
