    6.23 IGMP Configuration The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.

  • Page 110: X-Ring

    6.24 X-Ring X-Ring provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the X- Ring topology, every switch should be enabled with X-Ring function and two ports should be assigned as the member ports in the ring.
  • Page 111 Enable Couple Ring: To enable the couple ring function, tick the checkbox beside the Enable Couple Ring string label. Couple Port: Assign the member port which is connected to the other ring group. Control Port: When the Enable Couple Ring checkbox is ticked, you have to assign the control port to form a couple-ring group between the two X-rings.

    6.25 Security—802.1X/Radius Configuration 802.1x is an IEEE authentication specification which prevents the client from accessing a wireless access point or wired switch until it provides authority, like the user name and password that are verified by an authentication server (such as RADIUS server).

  • Page 114: Port Configuration

    6.25.2 Port Configuration You can configure the 802.1x authentication state for each port. The state provides Disable, Accept, Reject, and Authorize. Reject: The specified port is required to be held in the unauthorized state. Accept: The specified port is required to be held in the authorized state. Authorize: The specified port is set to the Authorized or Unauthorized state in accordance with the outcome of an authentication exchange between the Supplicant and the authentication server.
  • Page 115: Misc Configuration

    6.25.3 Misc. Configuration Quiet Period: Set the period which the port doesn’t try to acquire a supplicant. TX Period: Set the period the port waits for retransmit next EAPOL PDU during an authentication session. Supplicant Timeout: Set the period of time the switch waits for a supplicant response to an EAP request.
  • Page 116: Mac Address Table

    6.26 MAC Address Table Use the MAC address table to ensure the port security. 6.26.1 Static MAC Address You can add a static MAC address that remains in the switch's address table regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again.

  • Page 118: Mac Filtering

    6.26.2 MAC Filtering By filtering MAC address, the switch can easily filter the pre-configured MAC address and reduce the un-safety. You can add and delete filtering MAC address.

Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct the user network. Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections that depend on the connector type the switch equipped: 100 Category 3, 4 or 5 cable...

Auto MDI/MDIX means that the switch can connect to another switch or workstation without changing straight through or crossover cabling.
