Layer 2 switches by software. The EE2400-SS Management Application is a Window-based software package that implements RRCP functions at the management host side. The EE2400-SS Management Application gives network administrators the ability to configure and monitor dumb layer 2 switches like intelligent switches.
You can select one network adapter. The adapters are displayed in the combo box. Show Switch Status The Management Application shows one switch’s information at one time. So, you must select a switch using the combo-box witch displayed switches discovered in the network. Section 2...

Network topology link vector: Show the link status of the switches. Update button If you want to know the newest switch’s information of the network, press the Update button. Switch database button You can view the switch database. The database dialog box displays the switch’s name, MAC address and authentication Key.

Port Status You can view the port status of the switch that you select. The list box will show the status of port1, port2…, and port26. The port status includes port type, enabled status, link status, speed duplex, flow control, TX bandwidth control, Rx bandwidth control, and trunk setting status.

None : No flow control Asymmetric to Link Partner : A relationship between linked network devices in which only the device that is connected to the switch can send pause frames. Symmetric: A relationship between linked network devices in which both devices can send and receive pause frames.

Rx Bandwidth Control: Controls on speed of packets being received. Trunking: Trunk ports together to allow increased bandwidth through the switch, or to connect multiple switches together to increase VLAN capabilities. Global Configuration Global Configuration is used to configure the global port control registers. Press the ‘Refresh’...

TOS/DiffServ (DS) priority field. These 3 types of QoS can be configured by hardware pins, EEPROM or Registers 0x0400, 0x0401. EE2400-SS support 2 level priority queues. The queue service rate is based on the packet based Weighted Round Robin algorithm. The packet based service weight ratio of high-priority and low-priority queuing can be set as 4:1, 8:1, 16:1 or "Always...

Port based priority 802.1p based priority When 802.1p tag priority is applied, the EE2400-SS can recognize the 802.1Q VLAN tag frames and extract the 3-bit User_Priority information from the VLAN tag. The RTL8326 set the threshold of User_Priority as 3.
Note: IPv6 refer to rcf2460; Flow control auto turn off scheme The EE2400-SS can automatically turn off 802.3x flow control and Back pressure flow control for 1~2 seconds whenever the port receives a high priority frames. The flow control is re-enabled when no priority frames are received for 1~2 seconds.

VLAN control registers to the selection. EE2400-SS support VLAN function to broken the switch up into 32 VLAN, each VLAN is a broadcast domain .Each VLAN member can be flexible configured from 0 to 26 port members.

VLAN Table configurations are not different to Tag-based VLAN function. The VLAN classification of any incoming packet on a port for Port-based VLAN is defined by the port PVID. EE2400-SS use the PVID to search VLAN table to get the VLAN member. Support 802.1Q Tag-based VLAN By setting the register 0x030B to enable the En8021Qaware control bit, the 802.1Q...

Ingress Filtering control: to enable filter the frame received from a port which port is not included in the classified VLAN group member. Support leaky VLAN feature EE2400-SS support the leaky VLAN feature to enable the ability for some specific frame to be forward between different VLAN. For example, the VLAN table entry is VLAN 1 = port # 1, 2, 3.
Press the ‘Update’ button to set the registers, and it will set the register to the selection. EE2400-SS Support the ASIC based IGMP snooping function which can be enable via register 0x0308 and no other external CPU handling is required. It support the ability to parser the IGMP control protocol packets and IP multicast data packets to learn the multicast router port and group address member ports into the multicast address table.

Management security scheme Two RRCP security scheme of EE2400-SS are implemented: (1) RRCP management authorized port control (2) Protocol Authentication Key control. (1) RRCP management authorized port control: The authorized port can be configured via register 0x0201~0x0202.
GigaFast Fault Information This part shows some of the information like: Trunk Port Fault, Network Loop Fault Test, and Gigabit PHY existence report for Gigabit Port G1G0. Device Reset The software reset will reset the system to the initial state. The MAC table and VLAN table data will be kept.
