    1 Introduction This manual describes the setting and administration process of TFortis PSW and SWU managed switches. For many protocols, configuration is based on specific examples. All switches are similar in terms of the configuration process. Therefore we will consider the managed switch PSW-2G4F as the basic device in this manual.

    5.3.12.1 Example of configuration with a dedicated mail server on the local network Figure 5.3.12.1.1 Network structure Let's formulate the task as follows: We need to configure SMTP on switch SW2 (PSW-2G) with IP 192.168.0.1 to send messages about the link change on the ports of PSW-2G switch to operator's computer 192.168.0.3.

After setting up the last switch, we must go to the Web interface of switches SW1, SW2, SW3 from a PC connected to the FE1 port of the switch SW1.
  • Page 36: Configuring Port Based Vlan

    5.3.15 Configuring Port Based VLAN VLAN → Port Based Port Based VLAN is the simplest way for organizing virtual networks by differentiating access at the level of the switching matrix of the switch. Port Based VLAN does not use packet tagging. Each individual port may belong only to one VLAN.
  • Page 37: Configuring Vlan Trunking

    5.3.16 Configuring VLAN Trunking VLAN → VLAN Trunking Enabling the VLAN Trunking function on the port means that any VLANs are allowed to go through this port, except for those that are statically set up (the VLAN → 802.1q Static VLAN tab). In other words, only unknown VLANs go to the port with the VLAN Trunking function enabled, others VLANs operate according to the settings, because they are included into VLAN and ports tables.

    The switch organizes 4 separate hardware queues on each physical port. Packets received from different applications receive the corresponding priority. The switch supports 3 types of priority: 1) by the number of port 2) by CoS label 3) by ToS (DSCP) label 5.3.17.1 General settings QoS →...
  • Page 39: Speed Limit

     CoS & ToS – both CoS and ToS services are active, but if a packet containing both priority fields comes in, the priority is selected by the ToS field. Default priority – priority by default. When the QoS mechanism is active and a packet that does not contain a priority field comes in, it is given the corresponding default priority by CoS and it is treated as a tagged packet with the appropriate priority.

    5.3.18 Configuring STP and RSTP STP/RSTP → RSTP Settings Figure 5.3.18.1 Ring topology To ensure the protection of communication channels from a single failure, they must be backed up. Reservation inevitably leads to the emergence of ring sections of the network – closed routes. The Ethernet standard provides for a tree topology only and does not allow ring-type topologies, as this leads to looping of packets.

    Port settings:  RSTP State – including the port in the STP / RSTP protocol. If support of the ring topology on a specific port is not required, this port can be excluded from RSTP. However, note that if this port becomes a backup line, this may lead to the looping of packets and a storm.
  • Page 45 it. This allows the switches to exclude such traffic from the streams sent through ports to which its consumers are not connected, thereby substantially reducing the network load. Basically, to enable IGMP snooping, you only need to turn it on. That is why the majority of the settings are hidden.
  • Page 46  Port State – IGMP Snooping activity on the selected port. If the box is checked, IGMP is active on the port. If the box is not checked, the port returns to the normal operating mode (i.e. the port will perceive all multicast traffic as broadcast) Note: IGMP Snooping only works with traffic from the management VLAN.

Using the SNMP protocol, the software can access information that is stored on managed devices (for example, on a switch). On managed devices, SNMP stores information about the device on which it operates in a database called MIB.
