Notes: 1. To set the port status, use the Port Control page as described under “Configuring Interface Connections”...

  • Page 33: Configuring Interface Connections

    • Flow Control – Allows manual selection of flow control. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex operation and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation.

  • Page 34: Showing Port Statistics

    Group MIB, Ethernet-like MIB, and RMOM MIB. These statistics display errors on the traffic passing through each port. This information can be used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot, and are shown as counts per second.

  • Page 35: Trunk Configuration

    Trunk Configuration The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate link. A port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two devices.

  • Page 36: Configuring Static Trunks

    ONFIGURING THE WITCH • The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and flow control), VLAN assignments, and CoS settings. • All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/ to, added or deleted from a VLAN.
  • Page 37 RUNK ONFIGURATION Web – Click Administrator=>Trunking=>Aggregator Setting. Select the group ID and click the Get button to display the settings for the specified group.

  • Page 43: Forwarding And Filtering

    • Port Security – Disables address learning for the specified port. Valid addresses must be learned during a initial training period or statically configured. • MAC Filtering – Filters specified addresses from the switch or from a specific VLAN. Configuring Multicast Filtering Multicasting is used to support real-time applications such as video conferencing or streaming audio.
  • Page 44 You can enable IGMP Snooping and Query via the Switch Settings menu, and display information about multicast traffic being forwarded by the switch via the Filtering Database menu as shown below.

  • Page 46: Setting Static Addresses

    WITCH Setting Static Addresses A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this switch. Traffic sent from devices listed in the static address table will only be accepted on the specified interface. If any packets with a source address listed in this table enter another interface, they will be dropped.

  • Page 47: Configuring Port Security

    ORWARDING AND ILTERING Configuring Port Security If you enable port security, the switch will stop learning new addresses on the specified port. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic address table will be accepted. The MAC addresses already in the address table will be retained and will not age out.

  • Page 48: Configuring Address Filtering

    ONFIGURING THE WITCH Configuring Address Filtering You can drop traffic from unwanted stations based on the source MAC address (and associated VLAN if tagged VLANs are enabled). Field Attributes • MAC Address – Source MAC address. • Vlan ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094). This option is only available if IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs are enabled (page 3-29).

  • Page 49: Vlan Configuration

    IP addresses or IP subnets. VLANs provide a high level of network security since traffic must pass through a Layer 3 switch to reach a different VLAN. This switch supports the following VLAN features: •...

  • Page 50: Port-Based Vlans

    A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on the switch. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Port-based VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.

  • Page 51: Tag-Based Vlans

    VLAN tagging. VLAN Classification – When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the frame is untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the PVID of the receiving port).
  • Page 52 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN protocol, it can be configured to broadcast a message to your network indicating the VLAN groups it wants to join. When this switch receives these messages, it will automatically place the receiving port in the specified VLANs and forward the message to all other ports.
