A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a four-pair Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable. If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the 100BASE-TX module ports) using a normal straight-through cable, as shown below.

  • Page 29: Ip Addresses And Snmp Community Names

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide IP Addresses and SNMP Community Names Each Switch has its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). You can change the default Switch IP Address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.

  • Page 30: Mibs

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Link Change Event This trap is sent whenever the link of a port changes from link up to link down or from link down to link up. Port Partition This trap is sent whenever a port is partitioned as a result of more than sixty-one collisions on the port (i.e., it is automatically partitioned).

  • Page 31: Filtering Database

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Filtering Database A switch uses a filtering database to segment the network and control communications between segments. It also filters packets off the network for intrusion control (MAC Address filtering). For port filtering, each port on the switch is a unique collision domain and the switch filters (discards) packets whose destination lies on the same port as where it originated.

  • Page 32: On The Port Level

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Bridge Identifier This is the combination of the Bridge 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.

  • Page 33: Illustration Of Sta

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port Priority A Port Priority can be from 0 to 255. The lower the number, the greater the probability the port will be chosen as the Root Port. Illustration of STA A simple illustration of three Bridges (or the Switch) connected in a loop is depicted in Figure 5-1. In this example, you can anticipate some major network problems if the STA assistance is not applied.

  • Page 35: Vlans & Mac-Based Broadcast Domains

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 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). Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group.

  • Page 36: Mac-Based Broadcast Domains

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allows VLANs to work with legacy switches that don’t recognize VLAN tags in packet headers. The tagging feature allows VLANs to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally (BPDU packets are not tagged).

  • Page 37: Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q Vlans

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Sharing Resources Across 802.1Q VLANs Network resources such as printers and servers however, can be shared across 802.1Q VLANs. This is achieved by setting up overlapping VLANs as shown in the diagram below. VLAN 3 VLAN 2 VLAN 1 1 2 3 4...

  • Page 38: Vlans Over 802.1Q-Compliant Switches

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Tagging The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet. Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority, and other VLAN information into all packets that flow out it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact.

  • Page 39: Port-Based Vlans

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In the above example, step 4 is the key element. Because the packet has 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;...

  • Page 40: Segmenting Broadcast Domains

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Segmenting Broadcast Domains The Switch allows you to segment broadcast domains. It does this by forwarding packets only to ports in the same broadcast domain or VLAN. Thus, broadcast packets will only be forwarded to ports that are members of the same broadcast domain or VLAN.

  • Page 41: Using The Console Interface

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide SING THE ONSOLE NTERFACE Your Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your Switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic network management functions.

    Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide AMPLE ONFIGURATION This appendix provides a sample configuration file that can be used with the Update Firmware and Configuration Files screen in the console program. The configuration file is a simple text file that you create. It has two functions: to point to the location of a file on a TFTP server, and to set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the Switch.
  • Page 169 Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide If both the Firmware Update and Use Config File options are enabled, the Firmware Update command will take precedence and only the firmware file will be uploaded to the switch. The Config image file, which contains all configuration settings and was created by the switch is prefixed with the version number of the runtime software to help with file management.
