Default: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway (RW): The Default Gateway is used in Routed networks to determine the net hop for all non local destinations. Default: 192.168.1.254 System Name (RW): Set a special name for this switch. Up to 16 characters are allowed in this parameter.
4-2-2. Ports Configuration Function name: Port Configuration Function description: Port Configuration allows changing of the various port settings. Parameter description: Mode: Set the speed and duplex of the port. - If the media is 1Gbps fiber, then there are three modes to choose from: Auto Speed, 1000 Full and Disable. - If the media is TP (copper), then there are additional Speed/Duplex settings. Speed modes = 10,100 or 1000Mbps, and duplex modes = full duplex or half duplex.
4-2-3. VLAN Mode Configuration The switch supports Port-based VLAN and Tag-based VLAN (802.1q). 16 active VLANs can be support with VLAN ID’s from 1~4094. VLAN configuration is used to partition your LAN into small broadcast domains (groups). Properly configuring VLANS can improve your network security and increase network performance by limiting broadcast propagation. Function name: VLAN Mode Setting Function description: There are 4 VLAN Modes: Port-based, Tag- based, Metro mode or Disabled.
Metro Mode: Metro Mode is a quick configuration VLAN option designed for Metro WAN deployment. It uses Port-based VLAN and creates 14 or 15 Portbased VLAN groups. Fig.
Up-link Port: This feature is only enabled when the metro mode is selected. Option 15: All ports are assigned a unique VLAN with Port 15. Port 15 ends up a member of 15 VLAN groups, one VLAN for each port. This secures intra port traffic, but allows all ports access to a single uplink port(15). Each VLAN has 2 members. 15 VLANS in total. Option 16: All ports are assigned a unique VLAN with Port 16. Port 16 ends up a member of 15 VLAN groups, one VLAN for each port.
4-2-4. VLAN Group Configuration Function name: VLAN Group Configuration Function description: In port-based VLAN mode, this will display the ID – Description - and Members of existing port-based VLAN groups. If in tag-based VLAN mode, this will display the ID - Description – VID and Members of the existing tag-based VLAN group. The switch can only be configured to support either port-based VLAN or tag-based VLAN.

Delete Group: Select the check box (;) beside the ID, to delete a group. Then press the button to delete the group. Fig.
4-2-5. PVID Configuration Function name: PVID Configuration Function description: From within this menu users can assign a VID number for each port. The range of VID numbers is from 1 to 4094. You can also choose ingress filtering rules to each port. There are two ingress filtering rules which can be applied to the switch. Ingress Filtering Rule 1 is “forward only packets with VID matching this port’s configured VID”. Ingress Filtering Rule 2 is “drop untagged frame”.
Untag State: If this is enabled and the Untag VID matches the VID of the packet, then the tag would be removed. If enabled without a match, no operation will occur. If disabled, no operation will occur. Untag VID: Valid range is 0~4094. Fig.
4-2-6. Aggregation Configuration The Aggregation (Port Trunking) Configuration is used to configure Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full duplex and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This allows you to create a higher speed uplink or backbone connection via bandwidth aggregation.
4-2-7. Mirror Configuration Function name: Mirror Configuration Function description: Mirror Configuration is used to monitor the traffic on the network. For example, assume that Port A is a Sniffer Port and Port B is the Source Port, this allows the traffic passed by Port B to be copied to Port A for monitoring purposes. Parameter description: Sniffer Mode: Used for the activation or de-activation of the Port Mirror function. Default is disable.
4-2-8. Quality of Service Configuration The switch offers powerful QoS functions including: VLAN tagged priority for 8 levels, TOS field IP header (equal DSCP low 3 bits) on Layer 3 network framework, 6 types of layer 4 network transmission events, and IP DiffServe QoS services. In the Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration there is an option named ”Default Class”.
Fig. 4-14 Parameter description: Quality of Service (QoS) Vlan Tag Configuration: Used for setting up QoS based on Vlan tags. Port: Select the port which your bit mapping will apply. Optionally you can select to control all ports at the same time from the “All” selection. Bit 0, Bit 1, Bit 2: Control the Tag priority and offer 8 levels of QoS. Class: The 8 levels of QoS are then mapped to High or Low Priorities for each ports output queue respectively.
Function name: IP ToS Classification Function description: Within the Layer 3 network framework is a TOS field for IP headers. The GS16T2SFP can prioritize packet forwarding based on this TOS header. TOS Headers include 3 bits for 8 levels of TOS. Once again these 8 levels can be mapped to High or Low priority queues. Fig. 4-15 Parameter description: Quality of Service (QoS) ToS Configuration: Used for setting up the TOS QoS based on Layer 3 IP headers.
Function name: IP TCP/UDP Port Classification Function description: In L4 QoS Configuration you can prioritize packets based on the application type that they contain. ie. Down prioritize web browsing, e-mail and FTP. Parameter description: Disable IP TCP/UDP Port Classification: Disables all L4 application based QoS.
Advanced Mode: The Advanced Mode allows you to further customize the initial simple configuration defaults with your own TCP/UDP port definitions. Or create your own definition list from scratch. Refer Fig 4-16. Special TCP/UDP class: Select the custom TCP/UDP port definitions as High or Low priority. Default class (all other TCP/UDP ports): Select all other TCP/UDP ports as a default priority class of High or Low. Port: Select the port which your Special TDP/UDP class will apply.
Fig. 4-16 Advanced Mode Fig. 4-17 Simple Mode Simple Mode: Toggle the / button to switch between modes and to display details on the TCP/UDP ports configured (See Fig 4-17).
Function name: IP Diffserv Classification Function description: IP Diffserve Classification supports up-to 64 (0~63) Traffic Classifications based on a 6-bit field in the DSCP header of IP packets. The GSS-16T2SFP switch allows mapping of these 64 classifications to High or Low priority queues. Parameter description: IP Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Configuration: Used for setting up the IP Differentiated Services Configuration QoS. Diffserv: Display 64 (0~63) DiffServ Priority items.
4-2-9. Bandwidth Management Function name: Bandwidth Management Function description: The Bandwidth Management function is used to set Ingress and Egress bandwidth limits for each port. Fig. 4-19 Parameter description: Port Number: Select the port which you want to add a Rate control policy to. Optionally you can select to control all ports at the same time from the “All” selection. All Traffic for Ingress Rate Limiting: Define the rate for incoming traffic on the selected port.
All Traffic for Egress Rate Limiting: Define the rate for outgoing traffic on the selected port. Packet transmission will be delayed if the rate exceeds the value you set up in Data Rate field.
