4. Web-Based Management 4.5 VLAN Setting A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allows user to isolate network traffic so only the members of VLAN will receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
4. Web-Based Management 4.5.1 VLAN Port Setting Click VLAN Port Setting to bring up the configuration interface for adjusting the VID Setting PVID: Enter the Port VLAN ID Awareness: ¾ Enable: Transmit to the PVID group that the same with the packets’ VID. ¾ Disable: Transmit to the PVID group that the same with the incoming port’s PVID. Frame Type: ¾ Tag: Only allow tagged frame pass the port. ¾ All: Allow all type of frames pass through.
4. Web-Based Management VLAN Port Setting interface 4.6 Aggregation Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link for increased throughput. It provides load balancing and redundancy of links in a switched inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across an individual link within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm.
4. Web-Based Management a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen. Select the group members( Normal means the port is not the trunk port) Click Or, click Apply to apply the configuration Refresh to reset the configuration before applying Aggregation interface 4.

4. Web-Based Management 4.8 Rapid Spanning Tree The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides the faster spanning tree convergence after the topology change. The system also supports STP and the system will auto detect the connected device that is running STP or RSTP protocol. 4.8.

4. Web-Based Management 4.8.2 RSTP Port Configuration Protocol Enabled: To Enable or disable the port protocol Edge: The port directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loop in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, mark the port Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200000000 Apply Click Or, click 4.

It is a port that has a multicast router, which has a connection to the internet, attached to it. Selecting a router port will allow multicast packets coming from the router to be propagated through the network, as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming from the network to be propagated to the router.
4. Web-Based Management 4.11 QoS Setting Configuring QoS mode of the port, per port priority, TOS and COS priority setting. Mode: Select the QoS mode – port, DSCP or vlantag Port Priority: select the priority level – low, normal, medium or high Click Apply Click Refresh to apply the configuration to reset the configuration before applying QoS Configuration interface Click VLAN tag Mapping to enter VLAN tag priority configuration interface.

Web-Based Management Apply Click Or, click to apply the configuration Refresh to reset the configuration before applying QoS VLAN Tag Priority Mapping interface Click ¾ DSCP Mapping to enter TOS priority configuration interface DSCP [0- 63]: the system provides 0~63 TOS priority level. When the IP packet is received, the system will check the TOS level value in the IP packet that has received. For example: user set the TOS level 25 is high.
4. Web-Based Management highest priority ¾ Priority: select the priority level – high, medium, low or normal Apply Click to apply the configuration Or, press Refresh to reset the configuration before applying QoS DSCP Mapping interface 4.12 Filter Configuration Filter the specific IP address on port that it can ensure the network security.

That is, traffic goes in or out monitored ports will be duplicated into analysis port. Analysis Port: It means mirror port can be used to see all monitor port traffic. ( Mirror port can be connected to LAN analyzer or Netxray) Monitor Port: the ports which wants to be monitored.

5. Troubleshooting Chapter 5: Troubleshooting This section is intended to help user to solve the most common problems on the Ether-GSH2404W 24x10/100/1000TX plus 4 Mini-GBIC Web Managed Switch. 5.1 Incorrect connections The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cable when the switch link with other Ethernet device. For the RJ-45 connector should use correct UTP or STP cable, 10/100Mbps port use 2 pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port use 4 pairs twisted cable.
5. Troubleshooting Improper Network Topologies It is important to make sure that user have a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too many repeaters (hubs) between end nodes. In addition, user should make sure that network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact network performance. 5.
