INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of Levelone GSW-1674T/2474T 16/24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch and some background information about Ethernet/ Fast Ethernet/ Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the...
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies. And with expected advances in the coming years in silicon technology and digital signal processing that will enable Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a powerful 1000-Mbps- capable backbone/server connection creates a flexible foundation for...
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Cost Reduction, VLANs can be used to create multiple broadcast domains, thus eliminating the need of expensive routers. Port-based (or port-group) VLAN is the common method of implementing a VLAN, and is the one supplied in GSW-1674T/2474T. Features 16/24×10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation Gigabit Ethernet ports...

CONFIGURATION Through the Web Browser you can configure GSW-1674T/2474T such as VLAN, Trunking, QoS… etc. With the attached Web Management Utility, you can easily discover all the Web Management Switch, assign the IP Address, changing the password and upgrading the new firmware.
Figure 8. Web Management Utility The Web Management Utility was divided into four parts, Discovery List, Monitor List, Device Setting and Toolbar function, for details instruction, follow the below section. Discovery List This is the list where you can discover all the Web management devices in the entire network.
System word definitions in the Discovery List: MAC Address: Shows the device MAC Address. IP Address: Shows the current IP address of the device. Protocol version: Shows the version of the Utility protocol. Product Name: Shows the device product name. System Name: Shows the appointed device system name.

View Trap: The Trap function can receive the events that happen from the Web Management Switch in the Monitor List. There is a light indicator behind the “View Trap” button, when the light indicates in green, it means that there is no trap transmitted, and else when it indicates in red, it means that there is new trap transmitted, this is to remind us to view the trap.
Device Setting You can set the device by using the function key in the Device Setting Dialog box. Configuration Setting: In this Configuration Setting, you can set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Set Trap to (Trap IP Address), System name and Location. Select the device in the Discovery list or Monitor List and press this button, then the Configuration Setting window will pop out as Figure 10, after filling up the data that you want to change, you must fill up...

Password Change: You can use this Password Change when you need to change the password, fill in the password needed in the dialog box and press “Set” button to proceed the password change immediately. Figure 12. Password Change Firmware Upgrade: When the device has a new function, there will be a new firmware to update the device, use this function to update.
Toolbar The toolbar in the Web Management Utility have four main tabs, File, View, Options and Help. In the “File TAB”, there are Monitor Save, Monitor Save As, Monitor Load and Exit. Monitor Save: To record the setting of the Monitor List to the default, when you open the Web Management Utility next time, it will auto load the default recorded setting.

Figure 16. Device Status Setup Menu When the main page appears, find the Setup menu in the left side of the screen (Figure 17). Click on the setup item that you want to configure. There are eleven options: Port Settings, VLAN Settings, Trunk Setting, Mirror Setting, Device Status, Statistic, System Settings, Trap Setting, Password Setting, Backup Setting and Reset Setting as shown in the Main Menu screen.
Figure 17. Setup menu Configuring Setup Setting Find that there are four items, including Port Settings, VLAN Settings, Trunk Settings and Mirror Settings in Setup menu. Port Settings In Port Settings menu (Figure 18), this page will show each port’s status, press the ID parameter to set each port’s Speed, Flow Control, QoS priority and Link Status.
Page 31
Figure 18. Port Setting To change the port setting, click on the ID parameter to enter to the selected port to configure its Speed/Disable, Flow control and QoS setting. Figure 19. Speed/Disable: This setting has six modes—100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, 10M Half, Auto and Disable—for speed or port disable selections.
This setting determines whether or not GSW-1674T/2474T will be handling flow control. Set FlowCtrl to Enable for avoiding data transfer overflow. Or it sets to Disable; there is either no flow control or other hardware/software management. When the port is set to forced mode, then the flow control will automatically set to Disable.
Once you want to modify the VLAN Group, check on the ID parameter, the ID VLAN configuration window will pop out. Figure 21. VLAN Settings Trunk Setting The Trunk function enables to cascade two devices with a double times bandwidth (maximum up to 1.6Gbps in full duplex mode). There are three selections in each group of trunk setting as follow: Group 1: Selection 1(disable), Selection 2(port 1, 2), Selection 3(port 1, 2, 3, 4).
Mirror Setting Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
Statistic The Statistic Menu screen will show the status of each port packet count. Figure 24. Statistic For Detail packet information, click on the ID parameter in Figure 24. Figure 25.
System Setting The System Setting includes the System name, Location name, Login Timeout, IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. Through the Web Management Utility, you can easily recognize the device by using the System Name and the Location Name. The Login Timeout is to set the idle time-out for security issue, when there is no action in running the Web Smart Utility and the time is up, you must re-login to Web Smart Utility before you set the Utility.
Figure 27. Trap Setting System Events: Monitoring the system’s trap. Device Bootup: a trap when booting up the system. Illegal Login: a trap when there is using a wrong password login, and it will record from where the IP to be login. Twisted Pair Port Events: Monitoring the copper port status.
If you forget the password, press the “Reset” button in the rear panel of GSW-1674T/2474T, the current setting includes VLAN, Port Setting… etc. will be lost and the Switch will restore to the default setting. Figure 28. Set Password Backup Setting The backup tools help you to backup the current setting of GSW- 1674T/2474T.
Note: when restoring a recorded file, the current password will not be erased. Reset Setting The Factory Reset button helps you to reset the device back to the default setting from the factory. Be aware that the entire configuration will be reset, the IP address of the device will be set to default setting 192.168.0.1.
