17 Port Management Port Management includes Port Configurati on, Port Mirroring, Bandwidth Control, and Broadcast Storm Control. Port Configuration In Port Configuration, you can set and view the operation mode for each port. Auto-Negotiation: Enable and Disable.
18 Port Configuration interface.
19 Port Mirroring The Port mirroring is a method for monito ring traffic in switched networks. That Traffic through ports can be monitored by any of the ports means traffic goes in or out monitored (source) ports will be duplicat ed into mirroring (destination) port.
20 Bandwidth Control Y ou can set up every port’ s frame limitation type and bandwid th rate. Bandwidth Control interface Speed Base: Pull down the selection menu item to choose the speed base in low or high mode. As the picture shows, Port No: Pull down the selection menu to choose a port to be configured.
21 Tx Rate: Pull down the selection menu to choose the transmitting rate. When Speed Base is set as Low, the transmitting ra te for all the ports is in the range between 32K bytes and 8M bytes.
22 Broadcast Storm Control The switch implements a broadcast stor m control mechanism. T ick the check boxes to have them beginning to drop inco ming broadcast packet s if the received broadcast packet count s reach the thres hold defined. Each port’ s broadcast storm protection function can be enabled indivi dually by ticking the check boxes.
23 VLAN Setting A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical net work grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow y ou to isolate network traffi c, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN.
24 VLAN Member Setting (P ort Based) interface.
25 VLAN Mode Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standar d. Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into the Et hernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
26 care, and RemoveTag—for selecting. ¾ Uplink: In normal operation, if the desti nation and source are located in different VLANs, the packets wil l be dropped. Having ticked the radio button, the port is configured as an up-link port which is used in an application such as virus check or fi rewall.
27 VLAN PVID Index Setting The switch supports a 32-ent ry VLAN table to provide 32 active VLANs out of 4096 VLANs defined in IEEE802.1Q. User can define 32 VID entries in the VID table and enable the tag VLAN function. When a tagged packet is received, the switch compares the VID field in the packe t with the ones defined in the VID table.
28 VLAN PVID Index Setting interface.
29 Per Port Counter This page displays the statistics of eac h port. Four counter categories— Receive Packet & Transmit Packet , Collision Count & Transmit Packet , Drop Packet & Receive Packet , and CRC error Packet & Receive Packet — are available to be chosen.
30 Per Port Counter interface.
31 QoS Setting Here you can configure QoS policy prio rity mode and CoS (Class of Service) configuration. QoS (Quality of Service) refers to me chanisms in the network software that make the actual determinati on of which packets have priority. CoS refers to feature se ts, or groups of services, that are assigned to users based on company policy.
32 Priority Mode There are three priority modes available to specify the priority of packets being serviced. Those include First-In-F irst-Out, All-High-Before-Low, and Weight-Round-Robin. First-In-First-Out: Packets are placed into the queue and serviced in the order they were received.
33 Class of Service Configuration Class of Service (CoS) is a 3-bit field within a layer two Ethernet frame header using IEEE 802.1Q. Class of Service (CoS ) is a way of managing traffic in a network .
34 Class of Service Configurat ion interface.
35 Security Filter This function provides the security which only the MAC addresses bound with the port are allowed to access it. Port No: Displays the port number being assigned the MAC addresses. MAC Address: Users can assign up to 3 MAC addresses to the port.
36 MAC Address Filter interface.
37 Trunk Port trunk allows multiple links to be bund led together and act as a single physical link for increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a switched inter-network. Actually, t he link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links.
38 be aggregated together to fo rm a logic trunk group. Trunk 0: There are four ports—p ort 1 to port 4—can be involved in a trunk group. Tick at least two check boxes and select the trunk type to configure Trunk 0. Trunk 1: There are four ports—p ort 5 to port 8—can be involved in a trunk group.
39 Aggregation Information Having set up the Trunk Conf iguration page in static mo de, you will see the static trunk group information in here. Aggregation Information interface.
