Configuration Setting Find that there are seven items, inclu ding Port Setting, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Settings, Trun k Setting, Mirror Setting, IEEE 802.1p Defau lt Priority, Broadcast S trom Control Setting , Jumbo Frame S etting in Setup m enu.
The 1000BASE-T connections ca n op erate in Forced Mode settings (1000M Full , 100M Full, 10 0M Half, 10M F ull, 1 0M Hal f), Auto , or Disable. The default setting for all ports are Auto.
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN A VLAN is a gro up of port s that can be any where in t he netw ork, but communicate as though they were in the sa me area. VLANs ca n be easily o rganiz ed to reflect de partment gro.
Asymmetric VLAN IEEE 802.1 Q Asymmetric VLA N default settin g is “Disab led”, you can press “En abled” ratio button and Apply it to sub mit the Asymmetric VLAN function.
Untag VLAN Settin g: The IEEE 802.1 Q VLAN Configur ation page pr ovides powerf ul VID management fun ctions. The origin al default VLAN settin g has the VID as 01, named “de fault”, and co nt ains all ports as “Untagge d”.
VID: A u nique VL AN ID. VLAN Name: A VLA N nam e can be setting as user wi sh . Port: The swit ch po rt num ber. Untag: Out going fram es without VLAN tag. Tag: Outgoing frames with VLAN tag. Not Member : The port num ber which not to be gro u ped . Select All: Select all ports to be VLAN me mbers or not VLAN members.
To chang e exist VLAN setting, press the VID to m od ify it. Figure 23. Modify VID Figure 24. Modify VID PVID settin gs : While receiving an unta gged fram e from the port, the switch will assign a tag to the fram e, using the PVID of the port as its VID.
Here is a n exa mpl e of two V LAN gr oups with se veral ports on each group an d VLAN 1 (V ID 01) does not have com m unication wit h VLAN 2 (VID 02). Example1: Figure 26. Untag VLAN sett ing example Step1: Set VLAN1 member port 9~16 to “Not Member”, then apply setting.
802.1Q Asy m m etric VLAN settings exam pl e: Port 1~ 16 in VLAN 1, port 1~5 i n VLAN 2, po rt1,6~ 9 in VLA N 3. All VLAN1~3 have acces s to Internet vi a port 1. Note: The multi-need server must be support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Example2: Figure 27. Asymmetric VLAN setting exa mple Step1: Enable Asymmetric VLAN function.
Tag VLAN Settin g The IEEE80 2.1Q prot ocol defines a new form at of the fra me; i t adds a tag header in th e original Ethernet fram e, as follows: IEEE802.1Q Ta g VLAN is di vided by VLAN ID (VID). On receiving a frame, the switch checks t he VID in the tag header of t he frame to decide which VLAN it bel ongs to.
Example3: Figure 30. Tag VLAN setting exam ple Step1: Set VLAN1 member port1 to “Tag Po rt ” and port 9~16 to “Not Mem ber”, then apply setting. Step2: Add VID2 and set port1 to “Tag Po rt” and Port 9~16 to “Untag Port” member, then apply setting.
Another example is ab out setting tag VLAN with two switches. Switch 1’s VLA N 1 (2 ~ 3 ports) have access to th e Switch 2’s VLAN 1 (2 ~ 3 ports). Example4: Figure 31. Tag VLAN setting exam ple The settings of VLAN group for two devices are same .
Trunk Setting The Tru nking functi on ena bles the cascadin g of tw o or more ports f or a combi ned larger ba ndwidt h. Up to six T runk gro ups m ay be created, each supporting up to 8 ports. Add a T runking Nam e and select the ports to be trunk ed together, an d click Apply to activ ate the selected Trunking g roups.
Mirror Setting Port Mir rorin g is a m ethod of m onitori ng net work traf fic th at forwa rds a copy of eac h incom ing and/or out going pa cket from one port of the Switch to anoth er port where the pa ck et can be stu died. This ena bles networ k managers to better m onitor network pe rformances.
IEEE 802.1p Default Priority This feature displays the status Qu ality of Service pr iority levels of each port, and for packets t hat are untagged, the switc h will assign t he priority in the tag depending on your co nfiguration. Figure 34. IEEE 802.
Broadcast Storm Control Setting The Broad cast Storm Control feature provides the ab ility to control the receive rate of broadc asted packets. If Enable d (default is Disabled), thresho ld settings of 8,000 ~ 4,096,000 bytes per second can be assi gned.
System Setting Find that there are nine items, including System Informati o n, Syste m Setting , Trap Setting, Passwo rd Setting, S tatistics, Factory Reset, Backup S etting, Firmware Upload and System Reboot in System menu.
System Settin g The System Setting includes IP Info rmation and System information. There are two ways for the switch to attain IP: S tatic and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configur ation Protocol). When using static mode, the IP Ad dr ess, Subnet Mask and Ga teway can be manually configu red.
Trap Setting By configuring the Trap Settin g, it allows Web Management Utility to monitor specified even ts on this Web-Smart Switch. By default, Trap Setting is Disabled. When the Trap Setting is Enab led, enter the Destination IP address of the managing PC that will receive trap information.
