QUICK INSTALLATION Before„you„can„start„configuring„your„switch,„you’ll„need„to„install„it„in„a„safe,„stable„location,„then„connect„it„to„a„ network„and/or„connect„your„computer„to„the„switch„to„configure„it.„If„your„Luxul„switch„is„already„installed,„and„ connected„to„the„network,„and„you„can„access„it„from„your„computer,„you„can„skip„ahead„to„the„next„section„titled„ QUICK„SETUP:„SYSTEM. Physical Installation Luxul„AMS-„and„XMS-„series„switches„should„be„rack-mounted.„Install„the„switch„in„a„stable/safe„rack„to„avoid„any„possi- ble„damage.„Make„sure„there„is„adequate„space„around„the„switch„for„adequate„ventilation„and„proper„heat„dissipation.„ Avoid„placement„in„direct„sunlight,„do„not„place„heavy„articles„on„the„switch„and„verify„that„the„outlet’ s „ground„connec- tion„is„functioning„properly. Rack Installation Use„the„included„L„brackets„for„convenient„installation„in„a„19-inch„server„or„audio„rack.„Use„four„screws„to„attach„the„ L-shaped„brackets„on„either„sides„of„the„switch,„and„horizontally„insert„the„switch„into„a„free„space„within„the„rack.„Use„ your„desired„hardware„to„affix„the„switch„supports„to„the„rack.„ Connecting Ethernet and Power Ethernet and Power Connections Use„any„RJ-45„cable„to„connect„the„switch„to„an„Ethernet-enabled„device„,„including„servers,„routers„and„other„switches.„ No„crossover„cable„is„necessary.„„ „ The„AMS-„and„XMS-„series„switches„support„10/100/1000„Mbps„Ethernet;„10/100„Mbps„half/full-duplex„mode„and„1000„ Mbps„full-duplex„mode.„All„RJ-45„ports„support„Auto„MDI/MDIX„and„can„be„used„as„ordinary„ports„or„as„Uplink„ports.„ The„rear„panel„features„an„AC„input„socket„and„power„switch.„Use„the„included„power„cable„to„connect„the„switch„to„a„ surge-protected„outlet.

MANAGED SWITCH BASICS Before„you„get„started„setting„up„your„new„Luxul„managed„switch,„it’ s „helpful„to„have„a„basic„understanding„of„a„few„ advanced„networking„concepts.„In„this„document,„we„assume„you„already„understand„basic„networking.„If„you„don’t,„just„ visit„luxul.com/educational-webinars„to„view„informative„webinars„on„subjects„ranging„from„IP„networking„basics,„wired,„ and„wireless„networking,„to„advanced„topics„like„remote„access„and„using„VLANs„for„guest„network„access. What is a Network Switch? Fundamentially,„a„network„switch„simply„connects„devices„together„on„a„computer„network,„receiving,„processing„and„ forwarding„data„from„one„device„to„another.„Unlike„simple„network„hubs,„switches„can„forward„data„only„to„devices„that„ need„to„receive„it,„rather„than„broadcasting„the„same„data„out„of„each„of„its„ports. What are “Layers”? Without„going„into„too„much„technical„detail,„“layers”„in„networking„describe„standards„for„different„levels„of„function- ality„and„operation. Layer„1„switches„are„the„most„basic,„functioning„in„the„“physical„layer”,„essentially„connectjing„devices„together. „ „ Layer„2„switches„work„with„the„“data„link„layer”„and„uses„hardware„to„function„like„a„multiport„bridge. „ „ Layer„3„switches„function„in„the„“network„layer”„and„manage„multi-node„networks,„including„addressing,„routing„and„ „ „ traffic„control.„Layer„3„switches„are„the„most„capable„of„the„three„and„offer„functionality„very„similar„to„a„router,„but„ with„more„physical„ports. Switches„may„operate„at„one„or„more„layers,„including„the„data„link„and„network„layers.„A„device„that„operates„simulta- neously„at„more„than„one„of„these„layers„is„known„as„a„multilayer„switch.„The„Luxul„managed„switches„covered„in„this„ document„are„multilayer„switches.

Page 14: Understanding Poe
UNDERSTANDING POE Power„over„Ethernet„(or„PoE)„is„a„system„which„passes„electrical„power„along„with„data„over„Ethernet„cabling.„This„ allows„a„single„cable„to„provide„both„data„connection„and„electrical„power„to„devices„such„as„wireless„access„points„or„ IP„cameras.„This„feature„can„simplify„network„installation„and„maintenance„by„using„the„switch„as„a„central„power„source„ for„other„network„devices. There„are„several„common„techniques„for„transmitting„power„over„Ethernet„cabling,„and„two„have„been„standardized„by„ IEEE„802.3.„Power„may„be„transmitted„on„the„unused„conductors„of„an„Ethernet„cable,„or„by„applying„a„common-mode„ voltage„to„each„pair.„The„latter„is„similar„to„phantom„power„commonly„used„for„powering„balanced„microphones. In„addition„to„standardizing„existing„practice„for„spare-pair„and„common-mode„data„pair„power„transmission,„the„IEEE„ PoE„standards„provide„for„signalling„between„the„power„source„equipment„(PSE)„and„powered„device„(PD).„This„signaling„ allows„the„power„source„to„sense„and„negotiate„the„amount„of„power„required„for„a„connected„device. Power Budget One„challenge„during„system„design„and„installation„is„to„consider„and„calculate„the„total„device„power„consumption„to„ ensure„it„is„less„than„the„total„power„budget„of„the„switch.„The„power„supply„in„the„switch„-„not„the„number„of„ports„-„ determines„your„total„power„budget. For„instance,„the„AMS-1208P„AV„Series„Gigabit„Managed„Switch„features„a„total„PoE„power„budget„of„130„Watts.„If„you„ were„planning„an„8-camera„serveillance„system,„and„each„camera„consumed„10W,„your„total„power„consumption„would„ be„80W,„which„is„well„under„the„130W„total„power„budget.„However,„if„each„camera„consumed„20W,„total„consumption„ would„exceed„the„130W„total„power„budget. Depending„on„the„devices„you„intend„to„connect,„you„may„need„a„larger„switch,„not„because„of„the„number„of„ports,„ but„because„of„the„total„power„budget. Cable Length Power„over„ethernet„(POE)„will„only„power„a„connected„device„if„there„is„enough„voltage„after„the„cable„run.„The„maxi- mum„cable„run„for„PoE„devices„is„approximately„300ft„(100m).„Beyond„this„point,„voltage„will„drop„and„become„unstable.„ If„you„need„to„connect„PoE„devices„more„than„300ft„from„a„switch,„PoE„extenders„are„available„for„that„application. -

Page 17: Understanding Vlans
UNDERSTANDING VLANS A„virtual„local„area„network,„virtual„LAN„or„VLAN,„is„a„group„of„hosts„with„a„common„set„of„requirements,„which„com- municate„as„if„they„were„attached„to„the„same„broadcast„domain,„regardless„of„their„physical„location. In„a„VLAN,„a„single„network„is„partitioned„to„create„multiple„distinct„broadcast„domains„which„are„mutually„isolated„„ so„that„packets„can„only„pass„between„them„via„one„or„more„routers.„A„VLAN„has„the„same„attributes„as„a„physical„ local„area„network„(LAN),„but„allows„for„devices„to„be„grouped„together„-„even„if„they„aren’t„on„the„same„physical„ network„switch. In„essence,„VLANs„build„virtual„fences„between„devices„and„data„flows„which„may„or„may„not„have„gates. Uses VLANs„address„issues„such„as„scalability,„security,„and„network„management.„Routers„or„switches„in„VLAN„configurations„ provide„broadcast„filtering,„security,„address„summarization,„and„traffic-flow„management. VLANs„can„also„help„create„multiple„layer„3„networks„on„a„single„physical„infrastructure.„For„example,„if„a„DHCP„server„is„ plugged„into„a„switch,„it„will„serve„any„host„on„that„switch„that„is„configured„for„DHCP.„By„using„VLANs,„the„network„can„ be„easily„split„up„so„some„hosts„will„not„use„that„DHCP„server„and„will„obtain„link-local„addresses,„or„obtain„an„address„ from„a„different„DHCP„server. Here„are„a„few„of„the„most„common„reasons„you„may„want„to„consider„using„a„VLAN„in„your„installations: Increased Security Isolating„certain„devices„on„a„VLAN„can„enhance„security„of„the„network„and„the„devices„on„the„network. One„of„the„most„common„applications„of„a„VLAN„are„guest„networks.„In„a„guest„network„VLAN,„clients„can„access„the„ internet„and„certain„local„devices,„but„have„no„access„to„other„private„LAN„devices„such„as„servers.„In„a„VLAN-based„ guest„network,„specific„access„point„SSIDs„and„any„clients„connected„to„them„are„isolated„to„a„specific„VLAN.„That„ VLAN„is„then„typically„able„to„access„the„internet,„but„nothing„else„on„the„LAN. Security„cameras„or„credit„card„processing„equipment„are„examples„of„other„devices„that„can„be„isolated„on„a„VLAN„for„ security„or„PCI„compliance.„VLANs„can„also„be„used„to„contain„network„attacks„or„other„problems„to„a„specific„VLAN,„ thereby„enhancing„security„for„the„overall„network. Reduced Network Congestion Isolating„devices„on„their„own„VLAN„can„also„reduce„congestion„and„increase„network„performance.„A„few„examples„„ of„systems„or„devices„that„could„be„on„a„separate„VLAN„would„be„VoIP„phone„systems,„streaming„media,„and„„ security„cameras. Application Specific Another„common„application„for„VLANs„is„in„HDMI„over„IP„solutions„such„as„that„offered„by„Just„Add„Power.„In„the„Just„ Add„Power„system,„VLANs„are„used„to„route„video„signals„from„transmitters„to„recievers.„In„that„scenario,„VLANs„also„ simultaneously„reduces„network„congestion„and„enahnce„reliability„and„usability„of„control„systems„operating„on„the„ same„physical„network.

Page 23: Understanding Spanning Tree
UNDERSTANDING SPANNING TREE The„Spanning„Tree„Protocol„(STP)„is„a„network„protocol„that„ensures„a„loop-free„topology„for„any„bridged„Ethernet„local„ area„network.„The„basic„function„of„STP„is„to„prevent„bridge„loops„and„the„resulting„broadcast„radiation.„Spanning„tree„ also„allows„a„network„design„to„include„spare„(redundant)„links„to„provide„automatic„backup„paths„if„an„active„link„fails,„ without„the„danger„of„bridge„loops,„or„the„need„for„manual„enabling/disabling„of„these„backup„links. As„the„name„suggests,„Spanning„Tree„creates„a„tree„within„a„network„of„connected„Ethernet„switches,„and„disables„those„ links„that„are„not„part„of„the„spanning„tree,„leaving„a„single„active„path„between„any„two„network„nodes. Eliminating Loops If„your„switches„are„connected„in„a„loop„without„STP,„each„switch„would„infinitely„duplicate„the„first„broadcast„packet„it„ received„because„there’ s „nothing„to„prevent„a„loop. STP„prevents„loops„by„blocking„one„or„more„of„the„links.„If„one„of„the„links„in„use„goes„down,„then„it„would„fail„over„to„a„ previously-blocked„link.„How„spanning„tree„chooses„which„link„to„use„depends„entirely„on„the„topology„that„it„can„see. The„idea„behind„a„spanning„tree„topology„is„that„bridges„can„discover„a„subset„of„the„topology„that„is„loop-free:„that’ s „ the„tree.„STP„also„makes„certain„there„is„enough„connectivity„to„reach„every„portion„of„the„network„by„spanning„the„ entire„LAN. Spanning Tree Configuration Bridges„will„perform„the„spanning„tree„algorithm„when„they„are„first„connected„to„the„network„or„whenever„there„is„a„ topology„change. When„a„bridge„hears„a„“configuration„message,”„it„will„begin„its„disruptive„spanning„tree„algorithm.„This„starts„with„the„ election„of„a„“root„bridge”„through„which„all„data„will„flow. Next,„each„bridge„determines„the„shortest„path„to„the„root„bridge„so„that„it„knows„how„to„get„to„the„“center.”„A„second„ election„happens„on„each„LAN,„and„it„elects„the„designated„bridge,„or„the„bridge„that’ s „closest„to„the„root„bridge.„The„ designated„bridge„will„forward„packets„from„the„LAN„toward„the„root„bridge. The„final„step„for„an„individual„bridge„is„to„select„a„root„port.„This„simply„means„“the„port„that„I„use„to„send„data„towards„ the„root„bridge.” NOTE:cEverycsinglecportconcacbridgec(evencthosecconnectedctocendpoints)cwillcparticipatecincthecspanningctreecunlesscacportcisc configuredcasc“ignore.” A„newly-connected„bridge„will„send„a„reconfiguration„message,„and„other„connected„devices„will„comply.„All„traffic„is„ stopped„for„30-50„seconds„while„the„spanning„tree„is„calculated.
