EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring SNMP The EDS-728 supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private (default value).

Page 35: Using Communication Redundancy
Up to 30 sec. Up to 5 sec NOTE Most of Moxa’s managed switches now support two proprietary Turbo Ring protocols: “Turbo Ring” refers to the original version of Moxa’s proprietary redundant ring protocol, which has a recovery time of under 300 ms. -
Page 36: The Turbo Ring Concept
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The Turbo Ring Concept The Turbo Ring and Turbo Ring V2 protocols identify one switch as the master of the network, and then automatically block packets from traveling through any of the network’s redundant loops. In the event that one branch of the ring gets disconnected from the rest of the network, the protocol automatically readjusts the ring so that the part of the network that was disconnected can reestablish contact with the rest of the network. - Page 37 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions “Turbo Ring” rings with an odd number of EDS-728 units. If there are 2N+1 EDS-728 units (an odd number) in the “Turbo Ring” ring, with EDS-728 units and segments labeled counterclockwise, then segment N+1 will serve as the backup path. For the example shown here, N=1, so that N+1=2.
- Page 38 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Ring Coupling for a “Turbo Ring” Ring. To configure the Ring Coupling function for a “Turbo Ring” ring, select two EDS-728 units (e.g., Switch A and B in the above figure) in the ring, and another two EDS-728 units in the adjacent ring (e.g., Switch C and D).
- Page 39 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions the main path. ATTENTION Ring Coupling only needs to be enabled on one of the switches serving as the Ring Coupler. The Coupler must designate different ports as the two Turbo Ring ports and the coupling port. NOTE You do not need to use the same EDS-728 unit for both Ring Coupling and Ring Master.

If no master is set, the Turbo Ring protocol will assign master status to one of the EDS-728 units in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the backup path.
- Page 42 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring “Turbo Ring V2” NOTE When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2. In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.” Explanation of “Current Status”...

Page 49: How Traffic Prioritization Works
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications, such as video conferencing or voice over IP, and minimize traffic delay and jitter. Improve network performance as the amount of traffic grows. This will save cost by reducing the need to keep adding bandwidth to the network. - Page 50 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Traffic Marking DiffServ is a Layer 3 marking scheme that uses the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) field in the IP header to store the packet priority information. DSCP is an advanced intelligent method of traffic marking because you can choose how your network prioritizes different types of traffic.
-
Page 51: Configuring Traffic Prioritization
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring Traffic Prioritization Quality of Service (QoS) provides a traffic prioritization capability to ensure that important data is delivered consistently and predictably. The EDS-728 Series can inspect IEEE 802.1p/1Q layer 2 CoS tags, and even layer 3 TOS information, to provide a consistent classification of the entire network. - Page 52 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Inspect COS Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Check the check box to enable the EDS-728 to inspect Enable the 802.1p COS tag in the MAC frame to determine the priority of each frame.

Page 54: The Virtual Lan (Vlan) Concept
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment. With VLANs, you can segment your network without being restricted by physical connections—a limitation of traditional network design. -
Page 55: Managing A Vlan
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions VLANs and Moxa EtherDevice Switch Your EDS-728 provides support for VLANs using IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998. This standard allows traffic from multiple VLANs to be carried across one physical link. The IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 standard allows each port on your EDS-728 to be placed in: Any one VLAN defined on the EDS-728. -

Page 59: The Concept Of Multicast Filtering
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts. Only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will receive the multicast. If the network is set up correctly, a multicast can only be sent to an end-station or a subset of end-stations on a LAN or VLAN that belong to the multicast group. - Page 60 Network with multicast filtering Hosts only receive dedicated traffic from other hosts belonging to the same group. Multicast Filtering and Moxa EtherDevice Switch The EDS-728 has three ways to achieve multicast filtering: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping, GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), and adding a static multicast MAC manually to filter multicast traffic automatically.
-
Page 61: Igmp Multicast Filtering
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Query Mode Query mode allows the EDS-728 to work as the Querier if it has the lowest IP address on the subnetwork to which it belongs. IGMP querying is enabled by default on the EDS-728 to help prevent interoperability issues with some multicast routers that may not follow the lowest IP address election method. -
Page 62: Configuring Igmp Snooping
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Enabling Multicast Filtering Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying. If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the network. -

Page 65: Multicast Filtering Behavior
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Setting Description Fixed Ports This multicast address is defined by static multicast. Learned Ports This multicast address is learned by GMRP. Multicast Filtering Behavior You can use the following table to configure the multicast filtering behavior for each port. GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. -
Page 66: Using Bandwidth Management
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Bandwidth Management In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the device malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-728 series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults. -
Page 67: Using Port Access Control
EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Port Access Control The EDS-728 provides two kinds of Port-Base Access Control. One is IEE 802.1X and the other is Static Port Lock. IEEE 802.1X The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a protocol for client/server-based access control and authentication. - Page 68 EDS-728 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions 1.
