Page 6: Introduction
1. Introduction Welcome to the World of Switching-Network. In modern business society, communication and information sharing are fundamental to our lifestyle. Computer networks are one of the fastest means of communication. Congratulations on purchasing the Modular Switch. This Modular Switch is a combination of 4-slot host cabinet and optional 4 kinds of media modules. -
Page 7: Key Features
With its build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring the Modular Switch becomes easier. From cabinet management to port-level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via Web Browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. However, the Modular Switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or third-party SNMP Management. -

It can confine users on certain ports specified by the system manager, so that they cannot switch to other ports. Spanning Tree Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is an industry standard that prevents loops configurations in switched networks. -

aggregate several ports into one single group. Additionally, it may be more cost-effective to trunk multiple lower speed links than to underutilize a gigabit port. Available copper links and supported distances are more pervasive for lower speed links. For example, 100Mbps NICs and switch ports are less expensive than 1Gbps equipment. -

3. Network Configuration This chapter provides 3 network configuration examples by using the Modular Switch: Collapsed Backbone Application Departmental Bridge Application Virtual LAN (VLAN) Application The switch provides versatile configuration options for the network. It is ideally suited as a workgroup or segment switch in a network; it aggregate traffic from workgroup switches, or provide dedicated 100Mbps to servers with bandwidth-intensive applications. -
Page 17: Departmental Bridge
IEEE 802.3z ( Gigabit Ethernet ) compliant hub. This switch can also cooperate with a wide range of networking devices (e.g., firewall routers and printer servers) added to the network. Figure 3-1. Collapsed Backbone Application Departmental Bridge For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. - Page 18 Figure 3-2. Departmental Bridge Application NOTE: Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard cascaded connection set for half-duplex operation. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application The switch support up to 4095 port-based 802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs).

Page 21: Mounting The Switch
PCs with 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet cards: Your PC must have a standard Ethernet interface to connect to the switch. UTP cable with RJ-45 connector: Check if the cable and connectors work properly. Fiber cable with SC/ST/MT-RJ/VF-45 connector: Check if the cable and connector types are correct. A power outlet: 100 to 240V AC at 50 to 60 Hz. -

Figure 5-8-1 The STP lower page Note: when you enable the spanning tree protocol, because all ports in the switch will listen and learn, you may lose communication to the switch you are managing.
- Page 45 Port Security Port Security allow you to restrict specific MAC addresses to reside in some port. For example, a dummy hub is attached to some port for extension, and you just only allow 2 users to access this port at the same time, you can use the port security window to set the parameters.
- Page 46 Priority There are two priority queues ( high and low ) on each port. Each port arbitrates between two transmit queues ( high and low priority ). The arbitration uses weighted round-robin between the high and low priority queues, and you can adjust this weight. Programmable Mapping of 802.1p to Internal Priority The received packets with 802.1q tag are assigned priority according to a flexible (fixed for the old 48310 and 48320 module)
- Page 47 Priority 2 Each port can parse the header of an incoming IPv4 header and identify the Type-Of-Service byte (TOS field). This is extremely important with the deployment of Microsoft Windows 2000 and the emerging DiffServ standard, which marks Voice-Over-IP and other real-time traffic using this field.
- Page 48 enabled, this switch only directs the multicast data packets to the ports where needed, saving bandwidth. If "Forward with high priority" option is enabled, then the IP multicast traffic will have a higher priority than other traffic.
