    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Configuration using a Telnet Console You may use Telnet to access EDS-518A’s console utility over a network. To be able to access EDS’s functions over the network (by Telnet or Web Browser) from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as EDS-518A, you need to make sure that the PC host and EDS-518A are on the same logical subnet.

  • Page 13: Configuration Using A Web Browser

    The Telnet Console looks and operates in precisely the same manner as the RS-232 Console. Configuration using a Web Browser MOXA EDS-518A’s web browser interface provides a convenient way to modify the switch’s configuration and access the built-in monitoring and network administration functions. You may use either Internet Explorer or Netscape to access EDS-518A.
  • Page 14 EDS-518A Series User’s Manual NOTE Before accessing EDS-518A’s web browser interface, first connect one of its RJ45 Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet NIC. You can establish a connection with either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Configuring SNMP EDS-518A supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3. SNMP V1, and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private (default value). SNMP V3, which requires you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol.

The Coupler switch (e.g., Switch A) will monitor switch B through the coupling control port to decide if the coupling port’s backup path should be recovered or not.

  • Page 36: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Redundant Port Status This field indicates the current status of redundant ports. The state is “Forwarding” for normal transmission, “Blocked” for transmission that is stopped if this port is the backup path, and “Link down” for non-connection.

  • Page 37: What Is Stp

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) implements the Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol defined by IEEE Std 802.1w-2001. RSTP provides the following benefits: The topology of a bridged network will be determined much more quickly compared to STP.

  • Page 38: How Stp Works

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Bridge A What happens if a link failure is detected? As shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. Bridge A STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network.
  • Page 39 EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link. The efficiency cost is usually determined by the bandwidth of the link, with less efficient links assigned a higher cost. The following table shows the default port costs for a switch:...

  • Page 40: Stp Example

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual STP Example The LAN shown in the following figure has three segments, with adjacent segments connected using two possible links. The various STP factors, such as Cost, Root Port, Designated Bridge Port, and Blocked Port are shown in the figure.

Root/Not Root This field will appear only when selected to operate in RSTP mode. It indicates whether or not this EDS-518A is the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically).
  • Page 43 EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Enable STP per Port Setting Enable/Disable NOTE We suggest not enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol once the port is connected to a device (PLC, RTU, etc.) as opposed to network equipment. The reason is that it will cause unnecessary negotiation.

    Quality of Service for your network. The rules define different types of traffic and specify how each type should be treated as it passes through the switch. MOXA EDS-518A can inspect both IEEE 802.1p/1Q layer 2 CoS tags, and even layer 3 TOS information to provide consistent classification of the entire network.

  • Page 49: Using Virtual Lan

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-518A increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage.

  • Page 50: Managing A Vlan

    VLANs, tagged membership must be defined. A typical host (e.g., clients) will be untagged members of one VLAN, defined as “Access Port” in EDS-518A, while inter-switch connections will be tagged members of all VLANs, defined as “Trunk Port” in EDS-518A.

  • Page 51: Sample Applications Of Vlans Using Moxa Eds-518A

    PVID, all untagged devices on the same port can only belong to the same VLAN. Port 3 connects with another switch. It should be configured as “Trunk Port.” GVRP protocol will be used through the Trunk Port.

    VLAN, pass it to port 6, and then remove tags received successfully by device G, and vice versa. Packets from device B and C will travel through “Trunk Port 3” with tagged VID 2. Switch B recognizes its VLAN, passes it to port 4, and then removes tags received successfully by device F, and vice versa.
  • Page 53 EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Management VLAN ID Setting VLAN ID ranges from 1 to 4094 Port Type Setting Access Trunk ATTENTION For communication redundancy in the VLAN environment, set “Redundant Port,” “Coupling Port,” and “Coupling Control Port” as “Trunk Port,” since these ports act as the “backbone” to transmit all packets of different VLANs to different EDS-518A units.

  • Page 55: Using Multicast Filtering

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual NOTE The physical network can have a maximum of 64 VLAN settings. Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your EDS-518A.
  • Page 56 Snooping Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports. The switch “snoops” on exchanges between hosts and an IGMP device, such as a router, to find those ports that want to join a multicast group, and then configures its filters accordingly.

  • Page 57: Igmp Multicast Filtering

    VLANs that are connected to it. For networks with more than one IP router, the router with the lowest IP address is the querier. A switch with IP address lower than the IP address of any other IGMP queriers connected to the LAN or VLAN can become the IGMP querier.

  • Page 58: Configuring Igmp Snooping

    EDS-518A Series User’s Manual Enabling Multicast Filtering Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying. If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the network. Configuring IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.

  • Page 61: Using Bandwidth Management

    For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-518A series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults.

  • Page 62: Using Port Access Control

    Three components are used to create an authentication mechanism based on 802.1X standards: Client/Supplicant, Authentication Server, and Authenticator. Supplicant: The end station that requests access to the LAN and switch services and responds to the requests from the switch. Authentication server: The server that performs the actual authentication of the supplicant.
