IP Address Assignment For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be defined and entered. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. IP address: The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-8.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Class B: IP address range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255. Each class B network has a 16-bit network prefix followed 16-bit host address. There are 16,384 (2^14)/16 networks able to be defined with a maximum of 65534 (2^16 –2) hosts per network. Bit # 01 2 15 16 31 10 Network address Host address Class C: IP address range between 192.0.0.0 and 223.255.255.255.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch network, and, of course, the last byte is the host number. Not all IP address is available in the sub-netted network. Two special addresses are reserved. They are the addresses with all zero’s and all one’s host number. For example, an IP address 128.1.2.128, what IP address reserved will be looked like? All 0s mean the network itself, and all 1s mean IP broadcast. 128.1.2.128/25 Network Subnet 10000000.00000001.00000010.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch /16 65536 65534 Table 2-3 According to the scheme above, a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 will partition a network with the class C. It means there will have a maximum of 254 effective nodes existed in this sub-netted network and is considered a physical network in an autonomous network. So it owns a network IP address which may look like 168.1.2.0. With the subnet mask, a bigger network can be cut into small pieces of network.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch For sure, an IP address such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC. Second, Subnet Mask: as shown in the Fig. 2-9, enter “255.255.255.0”. Any subnet mask such as 255.255.255.x is allowable in this case. 19 Publication date: June, 2011 Revision 1.

Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3. Basic Concept and Management This chapter will tell you the basic concept of features to manage this switch and how they work. 3-1. What’s Ethernet? Ethernet originated and was implemented at Xerox in Palo Alto, CA in 1973 and was successfully commercialized by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel and Xerox (DIX) in 1980.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch IEEE 802.2 LLC Data Link Layer IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD MAC IEEE 802.3 PLS CS Physical Layer MII ANSI X3T9.5 PMD IEEE 802.3 MAU Fiber Coaxial/STP/UTP This above diagram shows the Ethernet architecture, LLC sub-layer and MAC sub-layer, which are responded to the Data Link layer, and transceivers, which are responded to the Physical layer in the OSI model. In this section, we are mainly describing the MAC sub-layer.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Control and Information. The DSAP address field identifies the one or more service access points, in which the I/G bit indicates it is individual or group address. If all bit of DSAP is 1s, it’s a global address. The SSAP address field identifies the specific services indicated by C/R bit (command or response). The DSAP and SSAP pair with some reserved values indicates some well-known services listed in the table below.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-2. Media Access Control (MAC) MAC Addressing Because a LAN is composed of many nodes, for the data exchanged among these nodes, each node must have its own unique address to identify who should send the data or should receive the data. In OSI model, each layer provides its own mean to identify the unique address in some form, for example, IP address in network layer.

Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch - It is created by the sending MAC and recalculated by the receiving MAC to check if the packet is damaged or not. How does a MAC work? The MAC sub-layer has two primary jobs to do: 1. Receiving and transmitting data. When receiving data, it parses frame to detect error; when transmitting data, it performs frame assembly. 2. Performing Media access control.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Ethernet MAC transmits frames in half-duplex and full-duplex ways. In halfduplex operation mode, the MAC can either transmit or receive frame at a moment, but cannot do both jobs at the same time. As the transmission of a MAC frame with the half-duplex operation exists only in the same collision domain, the carrier signal needs to spend time to travel to reach the targeted device.

Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-3. Flow Control Flow control is a mechanism to tell the source device stopping sending frame for a specified period of time designated by target device until the PAUSE time expires. This is accomplished by sending a PAUSE frame from target device to source device. When the target is not busy and the PAUSE time is expired, it will send another PAUSE frame with zero time-to-wait to source device.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Frame Reception In essence, the frame reception is the same in both half duplex and full duplex operations, except that full-duplex operation uses two buffers to transmit and receive the frame independently. The receiving node always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch received frame is tagged VLAN and the next two bytes are Tag Control Information (TCI) used to provide user priority and VLAN ID, which are explained respectively in the following table. Bits 15-13 Bit 12 Bits 11-0 User Priority 7-0, 0 is lowest priority CFI (Canonical Format Indicator) 1: RIF field is present in the tag header 0: No RIF field is present VID (VLAN Identifier) 0x000: Null VID.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-4. How does a switch work? The switch is a layer 2 Ethernet Switch equipped with 24 ports which support Gigabit Ethernet, 100M Ethernet, or 10M Ethernet. Each port on it is an independent LAN segment and thus has 24 LAN segments and 24 collision domains, in contrast to the traditional shared Ethernet HUB in which all ports share the same media and use the same collision domain and thus limit the bandwidth utilization.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig.3-5 Collision Domain Extended Distance Limitations: The diameter of a half-duplex LAN segment is determined by its maximum propagation delay time. For example, in a 10M LAN, the longest distance of a LAN segment using yellow cable is 2500 meters and 185 meters when using coaxial cable. The switch with its per port per collision domain can extend the distance like a bridge does.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig. 3-6 How does a switch operate? A Layer 2 switch uses some features of the Data Link layer in OSI model to forward the packet to the destination port(s). Here we introduce some important features of a switch and how they work.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch priority, the scheduler will perform the proper action upon it. The scheduler has many ways to implement, and different chips may support different schedule algorithms. Most common schedulers are: FCFS: First Come First Service. Strictly Priority: All High before Low. Weighted Round Robin: Set a weight figure to the packet with a priority level, say 5-7, and next, set another weight to the packet with a priority level, say 2-4 and so on.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-5. Virtual LAN What is a VLAN? It is a subset of a LAN. Before we discuss VLAN, we must understand what LAN is. In general, a LAN is composed of different physical network segments bridged by switches or bridges which attach to end stations in the same broadcast domain. The traffic can reach any station on the same LAN. Beyond this domain, the traffic cannot go without router’s help. This also implies that a LAN is limited.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig. 3-8 Now we apply VLAN technology to configure the system shown as the figure above. We can partition the users into the different logical networks which have their own broadcast domain. The traffic will not disturb among these logical networks. The users 1x (x denotes a ~ d) are members of VLAN 1. Any traffic within VLAN 1 does not flow to VLAN 2 and others.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch IPX, AppleTalk, IP, etc. Other VLAN technologies not mentioned above are MAC-based VLAN, IPbased VLAN and so on. Terminology Tagged Frame: A frame, carrying a tag field following the source MAC address, is four bytes long and contains VLAN protocol ID and tag control information composed of user priority, Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) and optional VLAN identifier (VID). Normally, the maximal length of a tagged frame is 1522 bytes.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch the VLAN group with the VID. The assignable number is 1- 4094. If VID=0, the tagged frame is a priority packet. Both the value of 0 and 4095 also cannot be assigned in VLAN management. Port VLAN Identifier: VLAN identifier of a port. It also can be referred to as PVID. When an untagged frame or a priority-tagged frame is received, the frame will be inserted the PVID of that port in the VLAN tag field.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch transmit out a tagged packet if the port is connected to a 802.1Q-compliant device. If an egress port is connected to a non-802.1Q device or an end station, VLAN bridge must transmit out an untagged packet, i.e. the tag has been stripped off in an egress port. Egress rule can be set by per port. Independent VLAN Learning (IVL): It specifies the mode how to learn MAC address.

Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-6. Link Aggregation Basically, Link Aggregation is used to aggregate the bandwidth of more than one port to an assigned logical link. This highly increases total bandwidth to the targeted device. There is more than one Link Aggregation technology in many vendors’ switch products already, which may cause the problem of interoperability. This is the reason why now we have IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Why 802.
Signamax™ 065-7840C-WS 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Terminology Link Aggregation: It is a method to have multiple physical links with the same media and speed bundled to be a logical link forming a Link Aggregation Group with a group ID. From the viewpoint of the MAC client, each Link Aggregation Group is an independent link. There are three cases of link used in the network, which are switch to switch, switch to station and station to station. Here station may be a host or a router.
