User Manual Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access each other (See Fig. 2-3). Fig. 2-3 No VLAN Configuration Diagram If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.
Page 21
User Manual Case 2b: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-5). Fig. 2-5 Port-based VLAN Diagram 1. VLAN1 members could not access VLAN2, VLAN3 and VLAN4 members. 2. VLAN2 members could not access VLAN1 and VLAN3 members, but they could access VLAN4 members. VLAN3 members could not access VLAN1, VLAN2 and VLAN4.
2-1-4. Configuring the Management Agent of Web-Smart Switch In the way of web, user is allowed to startup the switch management function. Users can use any one of them to monitor and configure the switch. You can touch them through the following procedures.
• Managing Web-Smart Switch through Ethernet Port Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then, follow the procedures listed below. 1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat.
User Manual 2-1-5. IP Address Assignment For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. IP address: The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication.
Page 25
With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A, class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/24.
Page 26
User Manual Class D and E: Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast.
Page 27
In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long, 255.255.255.128, contains 126 members in the sub-netted network. Another is that the length of network prefix equals the number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask. With this, you can easily count the number of IP addresses matched.
Page 28
Basically, it is a routing policy. The gateway setting is used for Trap Events Host only in the switch. For assigning an IP address to the switch, you just have to check what the IP address of the network will be connected with the switch. Use the same network address and append your host address to it.
2-2. Typical Applications Web-Smart Switch implements 24 Fast Ethernet TP ports with auto MDIX + 2 Gigabit dual media ports with SFP/GBIC for removable module supported comprehensive fiber types of connection, including LC, BiDi LC for SFP and LC/SC, BiDi LC/SC for GBIC. For more details on the specification of Web-Smart Switch, please refer to Appendix A.
Fast Ethernet TP ports and two optional Gigabit dual media ports supporting either fiber or TP media. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status, each port activity, multicast traffic, and so on.

Serial Number: The serial number is assigned by the manufacturer. MAC Aging: To enable or disable the MAC Aging function and change MAC Aging time.
TP/Fiber Ports Status function is applied to display the latest updated status of all ports in this switch. Or click the Port ID directly to configure it (See Fig.3-7). In this function, you can view the following setting including, link status, speed duplex and flow control.
Page 39
Show each port’s flow control status. There are two types of flow control in Ethernet, Backpressure for half- duplex operation and Pause flow control (IEEE802.3x) for full-duplex operation. The switch supports both of them. Default: Enabled Parameter description for Port Configuration: State: Show if the communication capability of the port is Enabled or Disabled.
Page 40
If their configuration is different, the link will not be set up successfully. In the switch, the 1Gbps fiber module, it supports auto and forced modes. Default: Auto Negotiation is enabled.
Page 41
8 priorities (0~7) in each port. When untagged packets enter one port of the switch, they will have the precedence you set default priority in that port. For instance, as you choose port 2 with default priority 2 and the untagged frames get into the port 2 of the switch, they will possess priority 2 QoS precedence.
Without the proper setting, network manager will not be able to manage or view the device. The switch supports manual IP address changed, you must reboot the switch to have the setting taken effect and use the new IP to browse for web management.
Page 43
MAC Address: It is the Ethernet MAC address of the management agent in this switch. Password: Set a password for this switch. Up to 16 characters are allowed in this parameter. Any alphanumeric character is acceptable. Default: admin User Manual Fig.
Parameter description: VLAN Mode: Disable: Stop VLAN function on the switch. In this mode, no VLAN is applied to the switch. This is the default setting. Port-based: Port-based VLAN is defined by port. Any packet coming in or outgoing from any one port of a port-based VLAN will be accepted.
Page 45
User Manual are on the port 5, then you cannot talk to them. Each port-based VLAN you built up must be assigned a group name. This switch can support up to maximal 26 port-based VLAN groups. Tag-based: Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is quite different from port-based VLAN.
Page 46
2 members are formed. Port 25&26 vs. Port 1~24: Except Port 25 and Port 26, each port of the switch cannot transmit packets with each other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 25 and Port 26, thus, total 24 groups consisting of 3 members are formed.

Tag-based VLAN with VID x. For example, if port x receives an untagged packet, the switch will apply the PVID (assume as VID y) of port x to tag this packet, the packet then will be forwarded as the tagged packet with VID y.
Page 53
User Manual switch will check if port 1 is a member of VLAN100. If yes, the received packet is forwarded; otherwise, the received packet is dropped. Drop Untag Frame: Drop untagged frame. You can configure a given port to accept all frames (Tagged and Untagged) or just receive tagged frame.
User Manual 3-6. Trunking Trunking configuration is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full duplex and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports.
Page 55
Parameter description: Trunk 1~2: Valid range is Port 1~24. In Trunk 1 or Trunk 2, user can group these ports together. And up to 4 ports can be selected for each trunk group. Trunk 3: Valid range is Port 25~26. In Trunk 3, only these two Gigabit ports are allowed to become a member of this trunk group.
User Manual 3-7. Mirror Function name: Mirror Configuration Function description: Mirror Configuration is to monitor the traffic of the network. For example, we assume that Port A and Port B are “Mirror To” Port and “Mirror” Port respectively, thus, the traffic passed by Port B will be copied to Port A for monitoring.
3 bits belonging to this priority in the vlan tagged field. According to these 3 bits, we could arrange 8 traffic priority (0~7) and randomly place them into one of 4 Queues that the switch offers. However, These 4 Queues have different QoS order according to your setting of QoS Scheduling Method.
