4.2.2 Misc Configur ation The Misc Configuration includes the DHCP Enable d, IP S ubnet address, Power Saving and Management VLAN. System name and de scription, password, In activity Timeout and SNMP enable and SNMP related function. The screen in Figure 4-3 appears.
System Description Defines the u ser-defined device descrip tion Password - This function provides administrator to secure Web login Inactivity Timeout – Specifies a time period fo r the user login. The w eb interface will be au to logout if there’re no action s from the login u ser.
4.3 Port Co nfiguration This function allow s displaying each port’s status. The Link Status in the screen displays the current connection speed and duplex mode; else this function w ill show down when the port is disconne cted. Press the “Refresh ” button to renew the screen.
Backpressu re is enabled on Half-Duplex mode. • Disable – No flow control or ba ckpressure fun ction on no ma tter Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex mode • Ingress Rate Limit The value of inbound traffic limitation in kilobit-per-second (kbp s). Per port in step of 128 kbps.
4.4 Port M irroring This function provide to monitoring network traffi c that forwards a copy of ea ch incoming o r outgoing p acket from one port of a netw ork Switch to another port where the packe t can be st udied. It enable s the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
4.5 Storm Control This function provide various type o f storm control of the dev ice, such as ICMP Rate , Lea rn Frames Rate , Broadcast Rate, Multicast Rate and Flooded unicast Rate.
4.6 VLANs A Virtual LAN (VLAN ) is a logical network grouping tha t limits the broadcast do main. It allow s you to isolate netw ork traffic so only mem bers of the VL AN receiv e traffic from the same VLAN m embers.
4.6.1 VLAN Membership This function group indi vidual ports into a small “Virtual” ne twork of their own to be independent of the other ports. The screen in Figure 4-7 appears. Figure 4-7 VLAN Membership screen The page includes the following i tems: table 4-6 descri ption of the Add a VLA N.
As show in Figure 4-8 and Figure 4-9 Figure 4-8 Add a VL AN screen Figure 4-9 VLAN Member Setup screen 4.6.1.2 Modify the VLAN Group Member Once you want to modify the existence VLAN Group member or delete a existence VLAN Group . Refer to the following steps.
Figure 4-10 VLAN Group – member modify and delete VLAN Group screen # Note : Once the VLAN Group be dele ted, the Por ts with the PVID s et to th is VLAN Group have to re-configure the PVID.
• Item Description • VLAN Type - There’re two VLAN mode support – 802 .1Q VLAN and Port-Bas VLAN • 802.1Q – Pa ckets income will be tagged with VID as the PVID setting. All po rts on the switch belong to default VLAN (VID 1). • Port-Base - Packets can only be broadcast amon g other members of the same VLAN group .
4.6.3 VLAN setting example: 4.6.3. 1 Tw o separ at e 802. 1Q VL AN The diagram show s how the switch handle Tagged and Untagged traffic flow for two VLANs. VLAN Group 2 and VLAN Group 3 are separated VLAN. Ea ch VLAN isolate ne twork traf fic so only members of the VL AN recei ve traffic from the same VLAN members.
Untagged packet enter ing VLAN 3 1. While [PC-4] tran smit an untagged packet enters P ort-4 , the sw itch will tag i t with a VLAN Tag=3 . [PC -5] and [PC-6] will received the pa cket through Port-5 and P ort-6 . 2. While the packe t leaves Port-5 , it will be stripped away it tag becoming an untagged packet.

5. SWITCH OPERATION 5.1 Address Tab le The Switch is implemented with an address table. This addr ess table composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address informa tion of some node in network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This in formation comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch.
5.6 IGMP Snooping Theory Computers and ne twork devices that want to re ceive multicast transmission s need to in form nearby rou ters that they w ill become membe rs of a multicast g roup. The Interne t Group Management Pro tocol (IGMP) is used to communicate this information .
The states a computer w ill go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below: Non-Member Delaying Member Idle Membe r Leave Group Leave Group (Stop Timer) Join Group (Send Report, Star.
