    2.7 X-Ring Application The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network system recover from network connection failure within 300ms or less and make the network system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP) algorithm but its recovery time is less than STP/RSTP.

  • Page 27: Coupling Ring Application

    2.8 Coupling Ring Application As the illustration shown below, users can use the X-Ring groups to form a coupling ring for redundant backup. It can ensure the transmissions between X-Ring groups not to fail. The following figure is a sample of coupling ring application. Note The Ethernet switches with firmware version before v3.0 use the X-Ring function that has the limitations as follows.

    3.1.3 Protocol The user can configure the layer 2 protocol setting via this interface. VLAN configuration A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the others of the same VLAN.
  • Page 50 VLAN configuration - Port-based VLAN Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the VLAN-tagging is ignored. In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN groups, it itself has to be either capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

    802.1Q VLAN Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers. You can create a Tag-based VLAN, and enable/disable the GVRP protocol.

    SNMP Configuration Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.

    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 64 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, each switch should be enabled with the X-Ring function and two ports of each switch should be configured as the member ports in the ring.
  • Page 65 Note To enable the X-Ring function, users must disable the RSTP first. The X-Ring function and RSTP function cannot both be activated on a single switch.
