1.1 Start to Manage This Switch Plug-in the power source to power-up the switch. After the switch is powered-on and in a ready state (both the LED indicators POWER and DIAG are lit), you can use any in-band Ethernet port to remotely manage it through a web browser. Alternatively use an RS-232 cable to plug-in the console port (on the rear panel) to locally do the simple system configurations by using the command line interface (CLI).
1.2 Configuration Functions for the Switch After the login is successfully validated, the switch’s home page – System page will show up. The left part on the page provides the function menus (shown as below) to activate to the individual configuration page. The function menus contain two parts: Switch for setting up the switch functions and System for maintaining the system parameters.
2 Configurations 2.1 Port Status This page provides the current link status for all ports. You can select the Port Status menu to activate this page and to refresh the current port status. This page provides the following information: Port – to specify a port on the switch Link Status – to show the port link status: Up / Down Speed / Duplex – to show the current link speed (1G / 100M / 10M bps) and duplex mode (Full / Half) while the port is linkup.
2.2 Port Configuration If you need to do the port configuration, just select the desired port by clicking the Port number in the Port Status page.
Speed / Duplex – to setup the link speed and duplex mode in force mode The options for this function can be selected only when the Auto Negotiation is Disabled (in force mode) for copper media.
2.3 About the Copper/Fibre Media Auto-Detection This switch provides an option to use either copper or fibre media for the first two combo ports Port1 and Port2. This means that you can setup the link by using either copper media to plug-in to the copper port or use fibre media to plug-in the mini-GBIC port. This switch will automatically detect which media is plugged into the port.
2.4 Port Statistics The Port Statistics function lets you see the TX/RX packets through each port. The Clear Counters button will clear all packet counters to 0. The Refresh button will get port statistics again. You can check each ports statistics more precisely. Just click the Port number to see the detailed information.
The table shown below has the description for each column. UnicastPkts Number of good unicast packets transmitted. MulticastPkts Number of good multicast packets transmitted. BroadcastPkts Number of good broadcast packets transmitted.
2.5 Port-Based VLAN The port-based VLAN divides the ports into different Virtual LAN domain groups. After setting the port-based VLAN, the different VLAN groups can’t access each other. The VLAN initial setting page is shown as below: You need to click the Enable/Disable link text to enable/disable the port-based VLAN. When port-based VLAN is enabled, the 802.1Q VLAN will be disabled automatically. The port-based VLAN and 802.1Q VLAN cannot co-exist at the same time.
2.5.1 Add Port-Based VLAN Groups To add a port-based VLAN group, select the Create New VLAN in the VLAN NO dropdown of the Port-Based VLAN page shown as below: After selecting the Create New VLAN, the page will be changed like this: In the above page, VLAN NO will auto setup. Users just need to set VLAN Port Members. After the settings are complete, press the Create button to go back to the VLAN initial setting page.
Below is the example page when the user sets Port1-12 to the VLAN Group2 after clicking the Create button. Now there is a VLAN group No.2 created with the member Port1-12. While the group No.2 is created, all the members in group No.1 are removed to operate the VLAN function.
2.5.2 Delete Port-Based VLAN Groups To delete a port-based VLAN group, just select a desired group (e.g. No.2) to be removed and click the Remove This VLAN button. Pressing the Remove This VLAN button results in the following: Now all ports are set to the members in VLAN group No.1.
2.5.3 Edit Port-Based VLAN Groups To edit the current port-based VLAN group, first select the group (e.g. group No. 3) you want to edit (to add Port7 & Port8 as members) and click the Apply button to activate the setting. The following figure shows the configuration for the selected group (e.g. No.3).
2.6 802.1Q VLAN IEEE 802.1q (tag-based) VLAN can add or strip the 802.1q tag depending on the requirements of the individual transmitting port. Click the 802.1Q VLAN menu to activate the following pages to do the configurations. VLAN ID 1 is the default 802.1Q VLAN. VLAN ID 1 cannot be deleted. However, the VLAN ID 1 group member can be changed. Incorrect 802.1Q VLAN settings will cause the web access to fail to connect. You can use the CLI (Command Line Interface) to recover.
2.6.1 Enable/Disable VLAN In the 802.1Q VLAN page you can enable/disable the tag-based VLAN function by clicking (Enable) or (Disable) besides the page header: ¾ Enable – to activate the tag-based VLAN function (port-based VLAN function will automatically be disabled). ¾ Disable – to de-activate the tag-based VLAN function, even though there are some VLAN entries created. (i.e. any tag-based VLAN entry is still retained although tag-based VLAN function is disabled.
2.6.2 802.1Q VLAN Port Configuration Click the Port number to enter the port configuration page for 802.1q VLAN. The following figure shows the 802.1Q VLAN Port Configuration page by port. (e.g. Port10) You can set the individual port for configuring the 802.1q settings in the following fields: ¾ PVID – enter a valid VLAN ID(1-4094), and PVID must be one of the existing VLAN group ID. ¾ ¾ UnTag Frame – Accept or drop incoming untag frames. Tag Frame – Accept or drop incoming tag frames.
2.6.3 802.1Q VLAN Config The following figure is the page to add/delete/edit the 802.1q VLAN entry. Each VLAN entry has 3 parameters, VID, Tag Members and UnTag Members to be assigned. After selecting Create New VLAN the figure shown as below will be displayed: ¾ ¾ VID – a unique VLAN ID. The range is from 1 to 4094 Tag Members & UnTag Members – Click the image directly, it will switch to Not Member, Tag Member or Untag Member.
Here is an example of how to configure the 802.1q VLAN. There are four existing 802.1q VLAN entries as shown below. You can delete the 802.1q VLAN entry. Click a radio button on the Select column to select the entry to be deleted (e.g. VID = 200), then click the Remove This VLAN button to do the deletion. After the action mentioned above, the 802.1q VLAN table will be changed like this: The VID entry (VID=200) is successfully deleted.
If you would like to edit the parameters of an 802.1q VLAN, just select a VID to be changed (e.g. VID =300) then click the Apply button to do the modifications: Port 17 and Port18 are selected to be the tag members of this group. Finally, click the Apply button to do the changes.
2.7 Trunk This 24G web smart switch supports MAC-based trunking, which allows more than one port to be grouped together as a single link connection between two switch devices. This is also useful for switch-to-server and switch-to-router applications. The 24G web smart switch allows four trunk groups that can accommodate up to eight trunk members. A port in one trunk group cannot be a member of another trunk simultaneously.
Because a trunk port can be aggregated by the member ports with the same configurations in most functions for each other, there are some rules to limit the configurations of the trunking. The following section will list the related rules for this function.
2.7.1 Trunking Rules The following rules will limit the configurations for port trunking: The attributes of all trunk member ports in Port Configuration, Mirror, Rate Control, 802.1Q VLAN and Port-Based VLAN functions must be the same. All trunk member ports can not be a capture port or monitored port in Mirror function.
When the enabled trunk group is set to disabled, all trunk member ports will be released to ordinary ports and their functions can be configured individually. At that moment, their configuration attributes will be retained to the last settings while they were member ports of the trunk group. The following 3 figures show how the port configurations (e.g. Port6) will be retained before and after the trunk (e.g. Trk1) is disabled.
2.7.2 Get/Refresh the Latest Trunk Settings Click the Trunk menu on the web page, the latest trunk settings on the switch will be displayed. This is also the page to configure the trunk function.
2.7.3 Enable Trunk ¾ ¾ ¾ Step 1: Choose the Distribution Criterion. Step 2: Choose the member port(s) up to 8 ports for each trunk group. Step 3: Click the Apply button to enable trunk settings.
2.7.4 Modify Trunk Settings ¾ ¾ ¾ Step 1: Choose the Distribution Criterion. Step 2: Choose the member port(s) up to 8 ports for each trunk group. Step 3: Click the Apply button to modify trunk settings.
2.7.5 Disable Trunk ¾ ¾ Step 1: Click the Not Trunking. Step 2: Click the Apply button to disable trunk.
2.8 Port Mirroring Port mirroring allows ingress and/or egress traffic to be monitored by a single port. The single port is mirror capture port. The 24G web smart switch can be configured to mirror the ingress and/or egress traffic of another port. Port monitoring is independent of L2 switching. The networking manager can monitor all traffic sent/received through the 24G web smart switch. Select the Mirror menu on the web page to activate the configuration page.
2.8.1 Get/Refresh the Latest Mirror Settings Click the Mirror menu on the web page. The mirror settings on the switch will be displayed.
