Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools This chapter explains the configuration menu tool that comes with Compex SGX3226 when you use the web-based configuration interface. Here, we will briefly discuss each Menu components and its function. 5.1 Using CONFIGURATION menu 5.1.1 Port Config This function allows you to have an easy access to the network via the ports of Compex SGX3226. Notice that the “Link state” option indicates ‘Up’. This shows that the port is connected to the network.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools NOTE It should be noted that if the CPU port (i.e. the switch port connected to the management port) is disabled, the communication link between user and the management system will be severed and the management cannot be proceed further. So, disabling the CPU port will be rejected automatically by the management system. 1. Click on the image to select a port or select from the ‘Choose Port’ field. 2. Select Speed/Duplex Mode. 3.
Chapter 5 5.1.2 Using Menu Tools VLAN Config Compex SGX3226 supports Virtual LAN, which logically group the connection into VLANs for traffic isolation and security purposes. Both tagged and untagged based VLAN are supported with a total maximum of 31 groups. Each VLAN group only forwards traffic within its member ports. For tagged VLAN, each port can be a member of more than one VLAN group and it also supports priority with eight levels.
Chapter 5 5.1.3 Using Menu Tools Trunk Config Port Trunking is the ability to group together several switch ports to increase the bandwidth between Compex SGX3226 and other switch. This is an inexpensive method to increase throughput between switches (or to servers). We define the Port Trunking as the ability to group a set of ports into a single logical link. The port trunk acts as single link between switches. It does not create a loop even though it is physically connected as such. Figure 5.
Chapter 5 5.1.4 Using Menu Tools DHCP Config The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides configuration Parameters to Internet hosts. DHCP consists of two components: a protocol for delivering hostspecific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host and a mechanism for allocation of network addresses to hosts. DHCP is built on a client-server model, where designated DHCP server hosts allocate network addresses and deliver configuration parameters to dynamically configured hosts.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools IP Address This IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies the Gateway in the network. This is the IP address that the users should point their Internet gateway to if fixed IP addresses are configured on the computers in the network. However, the DHCP Server will assign this information if the computers are configured to dynamically obtain IP addresses. Subnet Mask This is the Subnet Mask to identify the class of the Gateway’s IP address.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools 1. Enter the values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, DHCP Start and End IP Addresses to individual fields. 2. You can check on “Always use these DNS servers:” to disable the function of retrieving DNS IP Address automatically, so that you can enter your preferred DNS IP Address in the Primary and Secondary DNS IP Address field. 3. Next, you can set DHCP Server to Enable if you wish to use the built-in DHCP server of Compex SGX3226. 4.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools DHCP Server Reservations DHCP Server can also be configured to reserve specific IP address for specific host or Mac address. CAUTION The reserved IP address to be assigned should NOT have the same Dynamic IP address range as the DHCP Start and End IP address. Figure 5.1-6 DHCP Server Reservations To reserve certain IP address for the specific workstation, 1. Enter the IP address in the field provided to be assigned to your designated PC is. 2.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools Keep on adding the IP Address onto it by repeating the procedures as mentioned previously if you need more reservation. Figure 5.1-7 Adding New Records Delete IP Address in Server Reservations 1. If you wish to delete any of the IP Address stated on the screen. 2. Highlight that particular IP Address. 3.
Chapter 5 5.1.5 Using Menu Tools WAN Config Compex SGX3226 is pre-configured as disabled. It can support Static IP, Dynamic IP and also PPP Over Ethernet. If you have chosen self-installation when you register for the broadband service, you should first test the ADSL modem together with the logon account with your PC or notebook. Make sure that it can connect successfully before attempting to run it with CompexSGX3226.
Chapter 5 5.1.6 Using Menu Tools NAT Config Network Address Translation allows an IP-based network to manage its public (Internet) addresses separately from its private (intranet) addresses. With NAT, each private IP address can be translated to a different public address, or multiple private addresses can be aliases to a single public one. To accomplish this, NAT software snoops both incoming and outgoing packets on the network.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools Static Port Setting (Port Forwarding) Follow the steps shown below to configure Static Port. 1. Go to NAT function at the Command Window. Select the type of Server you wish to configure as shown in the figure below: Figure 5.1-9 Static Port Based Setting 2. Key in the Private IP Address. 3. Next, choose a transport protocol, either TCP or UDP, for the respective IP Address. The Internet makes two transport protocols available to its applications, namely TCP and UDP.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools Static IP Setting (IP Forwarding) To set a static IP Address, 1. Enter a private IP Address, such as 192.168.100.20, in the field provided and click “Save” button. Please note that you must enable the NAT function in the Configuration window if you are using a single IP address account (fixed static IP) and want to share this connection on your LAN. Figure 5.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools Filtering Setting Compex SGX3226 allows Packet Filtering rules be defined based on three factors, Source IP Address, TCP Port and Time. IP Packet Filtering examines the outgoing packets and decides whether to bypass or to block them. After the Packet Filtering rules have been defined, the users may select to bypass or to block the outgoing packets that do not match the rules.
Chapter 5 Using Menu Tools IP Address Three values are possible for this field: Any, Range or Single. If you have selected Any, you may leave the next two fields blank. If you have selected Range, enter the range of IP addresses in (From) and (To) fields. If you have selected Single, you only need to enter the specific source IP address in the (From) field Day of the Week Two values are possible for this field, Any or Range. If you have selected Any, you may leave the next two fields blank.

Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 In this chapter, you can understand how the configuration on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was easily done. Compex SGX3226 implements Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) function which forwards multicast traffic intelligently. In fact, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is also introduced to provide a standard mechanism to monitor and control network devices. 7.
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Bridge Port This option shows the port of the bridge that connects to the root bridge. Path Cost This option sets the Spanning Tree path cost for this port. A lower path cost represents higher transmission speed. Priority The higher the number has higher priority. Figure 7.1-1 Setting of STP Parameters 1. Select one port from 1 to 26 to connect to the root bridge. 2. Key in the value for Path Cost (from 1-65535) and set the priority level (0-65535).
Chapter 7 7.1.2 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 STP Bridge Spanning-Tree Protocol defines a tree that spans all switches in an extended network. It forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and reestablishes the link by activating the standby path.
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 1. Select Spanning Tree state option and set Root Priority from 0 - 65535 s, and Hello Time from 1 - 10 s. 2. Key in the Forward Delay Time, Maximum Age and Hold Time. 3. Click “Apply” button and save to update your configuration. NOTE The screen is divided into two sections.
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Host Group Addresses Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, i.e., those with "1110" as their highorder four bits. Class E IP addresses, i.e., those with "1111" as their high-order four bits, are reserved for future addressing modes. In Internet standard "dotted decimal" notation, host group addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is guaranteed not to be assigned to any group, and 224.0.0.
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 NOTE Note: IGMPv1 has no leave mechanism. If a host no longer wants to receive the traffic, it simply quits. If it is the last, the router will not have any answers to its query and will delete the GDA for that subnet. For IGMP v2.0, IGMP v2.0 allows group membership termination to be quickly reported to the routing protocol, which is important for high-bandwidth multicast groups and/or subnets with highly volatile group membership.
Chapter 7 7.3 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 SNMP Configuration SNMP is a communication specification that defines how management information is exchanged between network management applications and management agents. You can manage Compex SGX3226 using an SNMP application if the switch and the application contain the same community string. Use this page to set or modified the SNMP configuration parameters.
Chapter 7 7.4 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Port Security Of all 26 ports, some of the ports may need to assign to the specific port. In order to fulfill this act, MAC Address should be added to that particular port. This is to restrict other users from using the static port. A port can accommodate up to 20 MAC Addresses. Figure 7.4-1 Input MAC Address for necessary port/s 1. Select the port that you want to add in the MAC Address. 2. Key in the MAC Address in the field provided, e.g.
Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 To delete MAC Address/es If you want to delete MAC Address/es, simply ♦ Click on “Del Æ” button for single MAC Address, or ♦ Hit on “DeleteAll” button to delete all the MAC Addresses.
Chapter 7 7.5 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 MirrorPort Config 7.5.1 Using Mirror Port to monitor Traffic This function allows you to set up a ‘mirror’ port of any specified port/s or VLAN, such that you can monitor the traffics of the monitored port/s or VLAN without intervening them. In effect, the traffics on the monitored port/s or VLAN are replicated on the mirror port that you can use a protocol analyzer to analyze the traffic for specific problem. Figure 7.
Chapter 7 7.6 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Aging Control Aging control is for the aging of address entries in the switch’s forwarding table. If the aging control is enabled, a learned address entry (not include the static entry) will be removed from the forwarding table if there is no update within a pre-determined period (1 ~ 128 seconds). It is useful because the resource of the forwarding table is limited.
Chapter 7 7.7 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 Address Search 7.7.1 Host Search Host Search is for searching a host by IP address on the network, and getting the port number to which the host is connected. It is useful while configuring the VLAN. With this function, you can easily detect the port at which a host is connected to, and have an idea about which ports should be included in a VLAN. Figure 7.7-1 Searching of Host 1. Enter the Host IP Address. 2.
Chapter 7 7.7.2 Advanced Configuration for Compex SGX3226 MAC Address Search This feature helps to look for the particular MAC Address stated in the field, which provides a useful way while configuring the VLAN.

Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN 10.1 Description on Untagged VLAN In an untagged VLAN application, you can assign a group of ports within a switch as members of a specific VLAN. Data traffic would be confined within the member ports. In this way, devices connected with the switch can be partitioned into distinct groups each corresponds to a different VLAN.
Chapter 10 10.2 Application on Virtual LAN Working Examples on Untagged VLAN using Web-based Interface This section gives you a better understanding on how an Untagged Virtual LAN is being set up using the Web-based Interface. You may follow the procedures stated below: 10.2.1 Hardware Setup for Networking There are two VLANs, namely VLAN A and VLAN B in this network. VLAN A For Switch 1, Connect Server 1, Control Unit and Workstation 1 to Port 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Chapter 10 10.2.2 Application on Virtual LAN Configuration for Switch 1 VLAN A 1. Open a browser and key in the IP address for Switch 1, such as 192.168.100.128. 2. Go to VLAN Config option and enabled the Status at Group 2. 3. Set VID number to 10. (Any number between 2 to 4094.) 4. Click on ‘-’ to ‘U’ for Port 1 to 12 and 25. Notice that the picture illustrated on Page 81 used only Port 1, 2,and 3, we still can allocate the remaining ports to VLAN A for further usage. VLAN B 5.
Chapter 10 10.2.3 Application on Virtual LAN Configuration for Switch 2 VLAN A 1. It is recommended to open another browser and key in the IP address for Switch 2, such as 192.168.100.141. 2. Go to VLAN Config option and enabled the Status at Group 2. 3. Set the VID number to 10. (Between 2 to 4094.) Notice that the VID Number for Untagged VLAN A and VLAN B can be different. 4. Click on ‘-’ to ‘U’ for Port 1 to 12 and 25.
Chapter 10 Application on Virtual LAN Figure 10.2-2 Untagged VLAN setting for Switch 2 Now, you can use another network cable to connect Port 26 of Switch 1 to Port 26 of Switch 2.
Chapter 10 10.3 Application on Virtual LAN Description on Tagged VLAN 10.3.1 Shared Uplink Connection In a tagged VLAN application, you still can assign specific ports within a switch to be a VLAN group. In addition, the data transferred within the VLAN group is tagged with an ID as specified with the 802.3Q Tagged VLAN standard. It allows the VLAN information to be carried along as the data flow from switch to switch. It also allows a port to carry multiple VLANs data stream.
Chapter 10 10.4 Application on Virtual LAN Working Examples on Tagged VLAN using Web-based Interface The setting up of Tagged Virtual LAN will be discussed in this section using Web-based Interface. You may follow the procedures stated below: 10.4.1 Hardware Setup for Networking Two tagged VLANs - VLAN C and VLAN D are created in the physical network. VLAN C consists of Server 1, Control Unit, Workstation 1 and 2. VLAN D consists of Server 2, Workstation 3 and 4.
Chapter 10 10.4.2 Application on Virtual LAN Configuration for Switch 1 VLAN C 1. Open a browser and key in the IP address for Switch 1, such as 192.168.100.128. 2. Go to VLAN Config option and enabled the Status at Group 2. 3. Set VID number to 12. (Any number between 2 to 4094.) 4. Click on ‘-’ to ‘U’ for Port 1 to 12 and select ‘T’ for Port 25. VLAN D 5. Enabled the Status at Group 3. 6. Set VID number to 22. (Any number between 2 to 4094.) 7.
Chapter 10 10.4.3 Application on Virtual LAN Configuration for Switch 2 VLAN C 1. Open another browser and key in the IP address for Switch 2, such as 192.168.100.141. 2. Go to VLAN Config option and enabled the Status at Group 2. 3. Set VID number to 12. (Any number between 2 to 4094.) 4. Click on ‘-’ to ‘U’ for Port 1 to 12. 5. Next, select ‘-’ to ‘T’ for Port 25. VLAN D 6. Enabled the Status at Group 3. 7. Set VID number to 22. (Any number between 2 to 4094.) 8.

Chapter 10 10.5 Application on Virtual LAN Tagged VLAN with legacy (untagged) VLAN support In most scenarios, there are legacy-networking devices that do not support 802.3Q Tagged VLAN. To accommodate such devices, tagged VLANs are normally inapplicable. However, Compex SGX3226 has provision for legacy device support. It allows an untagged VLAN or device to join the tagged VLAN while work together as in a tagged VLAN application. 10.5.
Chapter 10 10.5.2 Application on Virtual LAN Legacy Devices Support With the legacy support, the untagged example (Fig 10.1-1) now can be configured as two tagged VLANs with two ports less. The two connections now share one connection between the two switches. The tagged VLAN effectively connects all untagged devices. Figure 10.
