Priority Queue Service settings: First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent depends on arrival order. All High before Low: All high priority packets sent before low priority packets. Weighted Round Robin: Select the preference given to packets in the switch’s high-priority queue. These options represent the number of high priority packets sent before one low priority packet is sent.
Enable Internet Group Multicast Protocol: enable IGMP protocol IGMP Query Mode: Recognize different queries from clients or servers to decide which query will be the first priority. The modes are as follows: 1. Auto Mode: Automatically chooses the switch with smallest IP address for the IGMP Query. 2. Enable Mode: Enable one of switches to be the IGMP Query. 3. Disable Mode: Disable the other switches from being the IGMP Query. VLAN Operation Mode: No VLAN (Default) 802.
The three topologies shown below indicate how the IGMP Query works within a network: 1. This topology is set when the router s IP address is smaller than other Switches in the subnet. 2. This topology is set when the router s IP address is larger than other Switches in the subnet. Note: The SmartGST-801M supports IGMP protocol but IGMP must be enabled and the switch must be the querier.
3. This topology is used when the Switch s IP address is not the smallest in the subnet. If in Auto mode, the network will cause a Multicast Storm from the client IGMP report. The configuration is used to avoid that. Note: 4. We recommend that the switch with the smallest IP address be set as the VOD server. All switches must be in Disable mode when the VOD server is set up as the IGMP Querier.
5-4-4. Port Controls Use this page to modify each port’s status State: User can disable or enable port 1-8. Port 9 is always enabled. Auto Negotiation: Port 1-8 is fixed to disable mode and Port 9 is enabled. Speed setting: The speed mode is fixed. 100Mbps (Ports 1-8), 1000Mbps (Port 9, GBIC port) Duplex setting: Port 1-8 support Full or Half Duplex. Port 9 only supports Full Duplex. Flow control setting: Port 1-8 can be enabled/disabled. Port 9 is always enabled. 5-4-5.
5-4-5-1. Aggregator setting System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP. 1. Group ID: Users can create a link aggregation across two or more ports. Choose the "group id" and click "Get". 2. LACP: If enabled, the group is a LACP static trunking group. If disabled, the group is local static trunking group. 3. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group.
5-4-5-2. Aggregator Information When setting an LACP aggregator, view relational information here. 5-4-5-3. State Activity Active (selected): The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive (not selected): The port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device. 1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform dynamic LACP trunking.
5-4-6. Filter Database 5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping The SmartGST-801M supports IP Multicast. IGMP protocol can be enabled on the web management s Advanced page. On the IGMP Snooping information page, you can view different multicast groups, VIDs, and member ports. IP multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite.
5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch’s address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device’s MAC address when the device is disconnected or powered-off. To add a static MAC address 1. From the main menu, click administrator, then click Filter Database. 2. Click Static MAC Addresses.
5-4-6-4. MAC Filtering 5-4-7. VLAN configuration A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows you to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent to physically connecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plugged into the original switch.
Support Protocol-based VLAN In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it must be capable of either tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attach itself to a VLAN-aware bridge. The bridge must be capable of classifying and tagging the packets with a different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol. 5-4-7-1. Basic Create a VLAN and add tagged member ports to it. 1.
Ingress Filtering Ingress filtering lets frames belonging to a specific VLAN be forwarded if the port belongs to that VLAN. The SmartGST-801M has two ingress filtering rules. Ingress Filtering Rule 1: Forward only packets with VID matching this port’s configured VID. Ingress Filtering Rule 2: Drop Untagged Frames. 5-4-8. Spanning Tree The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks.
View spanning tree information about the Root Bridge on this screen. View spanning tree status about the switch here. Parameter Description You can change the priority value, a value used to identify the root bridge. Priority The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. Enter a number 1 through 65535.
You can change forward delay time, the number of seconds a port waits Forward before changing from its Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening Delay time states to the forwarding state. Enter a number 4 through 30. The following parameter can be configured on each port. Click Apply. Parameter Description You can make a port more or less likely to become the Root Port. The Port Priority range is 0-255. The default setting is 128. The lowest number has the highest priority.
Roving Analysis State: Enable or disable the port mirror function. Mirror Ports: The ports you want to mirror. All traffic selected here will be copied to the mirror port. You can select up to 9 monitor ports. To disable the function, select monitor port to none. Monitor Rx: Monitor receiving frames from the port. Monitor Tx: Monitor sending frames from the port. 5-4-10.
