Page 15: Introduction
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide NTRODUCTION This section describes the features of the Switch, as well as giving some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks.
Page 16: Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. 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...
Page 17: Switching Technology
A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area network to be divided into different segments which don’t compete with each other for network transmission capacity, giving a decreased load on each.
Page 18: Features
Features The TEG-S224 series of Switches can include one master (either a TEG-S224M or a TEG-S224MF) and up to three clients (TEG-S224S or TEG-S224SF). They are designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increases continuously.

Page 42: Switch Management Concepts
Using the console program, a network administrator can manage, control and monitor the many functions of the Switch. Hardware components in the Switch allow it to be an active part of a manageable network. These components include a CPU, memory for data storage, other related hardware, and SNMP agent firmware.

If you are having problems making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100 or ANSI. If you still don’t see anything, try hitting <Ctrl> + r to refresh the screen.
Page 44: Traps
For security, you can set in the Switch a list of IP Addresses of the network managers that you allow to manage the Switch. You can also change the default Community Name in the Switch and set access rights of these Community Names.
Page 45 IP address of the unauthorized user. New Root This trap indicates that the Switch has become the new root of the Spanning Tree, the trap is sent by a bridge soon after its election as the new root. This implies that upon expiration of the Topology Change Timer the new root trap is sent out immediately after the Switch’s selection as a new root.

Switch, a diskette listing the Switch’s propriety enterprise MIBs can be obtained by request. If your software provides functions to browse or modify MIBs, you can also get the MIB values and change them (if the MIBs’ attributes permit the write operation). This process however can be quite involved, since you must know the MIB OIDs and retrieve them one by one.
Page 48: Filtering Database
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide On the other hand, if the Aging Time is too short, many entries may be aged out soon, resulting in a high percentage of received packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the address table, in which case the Switch will broadcast the packet to all ports, negating many of the benefits of having a switch.
Page 49: Spanning Tree Algorithm
STA Operation Levels STA operates on two levels: the bridge level and the port level. On the bridge level, STA calculates the Bridge Identifier for each Switch, then sets the Root Bridge and the Designated Bridges. On the port level, STA sets the Root Port and Designated Ports.
Page 50: On The Bridge Level
Bridge Identifier Priority (a parameter that you can set) and the MAC address of the switch. Example: 4 00 80 C8 00 01 00, where 4 is the Bridge Priority. A lower Bridge Identifier results in a higher priority for the switch, and thus increases it probably of being selected as the Root Bridge.

Otherwise, a configuration error will occur. Bridge Max. Age The Max. Age can be from 6 to 40 seconds. At the end of the Max. Age, if a BPDU has still not been received from the Root Bridge, your Switch will start sending...
Page 52: Illustration Of Sta
For instance, if Bridge 1 broadcasts a packet to Bridge 2, Bridge 2 will broadcast it to Bridge 3, and Bridge 3 will broadcast it to Bridge 1 and so on. The broadcast packet will be passed indefinitely in a loop, causing a serious network failure.
Page 53: Figure 5-1. Before Applying The Sta Rules
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide STA setup can be somewhat complex. Therefore, you are advised to keep the default factory settings and STA will automatically assign root bridges/ports and block loop connections. However, if you need to customize the STA parameters, refer to Table 5-1.
Page 54: Port Trunking
Table 5-1. User-selective STA parameters Port Trunking Port trunking is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline. The participating parts are called members of a trunk group, with one port designated as the anchor of the group.
Page 55: Figure 5-3. Port Trunking Example
Workstation Figure 5-3. Port trunking example The switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. As such, trunk ports will not be blocked by Spanning Tree (unless a redundant link with higher STP priority is present).
Page 56: Vlan
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent. A trunk connection can be made with any other switch that maintains host-to-host data streams over a single trunk port. A trunk connection cannot be made with switches that perform load- balancing on a per-packet basis.
Page 57: Ieee 802.1Q Vlans
Take for example a packet that is transmitted by a machine on Port 1 that is a member of VLAN 2 and has the Port VLAN ID number 2 (PVID=2). If the destination lies on another port (found through a...
Page 58: Sharing Resources Across Vlans
(Port 10) is a member of VLAN 2 (and can therefore receive VLAN 2 packets). If port 10 is not a member of VLAN 2, then the packet will be dropped by the switch and will not reach it’s destination.
Page 59: Vlans Spanning Multiple Switches
The server attached to Port 7 is shared by VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 because Port 7 is a member of both VLANs (it is listed as a member of VID 1 and 2). Since it can receive packets from both VLANs, all ports can successfully send packets to it to be printed.
Page 60 Ports with untagging enabled will take all VLAN information out of all packets that flow into and out of a port. If the packet doesn’t have a VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the packet free of VLAN information.
Page 61: Vlans Over 802.1Q-Compliant Switches
Tagging puts 802.1Q VLAN information into each packet header, enabling other 802.1Q-compliant switches that receive the packet to know how to treat it. Upon receiving a tagged packet, an 802.1Q-compliant switch can use the information in the packet header to maintain the integrity of VLANs, carry out priority forwarding, etc.
Page 62: Figure 5-5. Data Transmissions Between 802.1Q-Compliant Switches
802.1Q VLAN data encoded in its header, the ingress port can make VLAN-based decisions about its delivery: whether server #2 is attached to a port that is a member of VLAN 2 and, thus, should the packet be delivered; the queuing priority to give to the packet, etc. It...

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide tag its own PVID onto the packet and use this information to make forwarding decisions. As a result, the packets coming from the non- compliant device would automatically be placed on the ingress ports VLAN and could only communicate with other ports that are members of this VLAN.
Page 64: Port-Based Broadcast Packet Filter
Port-based Broadcast Packet Filter The Switch is equipped with sensors that count the number of broadcast frames arriving at each port. When a certain level ( r ising threshold) is reached, the sensors can initiate a broadcast filter (rising action) which drops all broadcast packets arriving at the affected port.
Page 65: Using The Console Interface

Page 107: Configure Ieee 802.1Q Vlans
To configure an IEEE 802.1Q port-based VLAN, you must do three things: 1. Decide if you want to enable Ingress Filtering and enable it on the chosen ports. Ingress filtering applied on a port causes the port to examine all incoming packets and check whether the port itself is a member of the VLAN.
Page 108: Figure 6-32. Ieee 802.1Q Vlans Configuration Menu
Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 3. Define the VLAN itself and which ports will be members (able to receive packets from a port that has this PVID number). At this point, you need to designate whether a member port will be a Tagging or Untagging member port.
