DHCP Setting:  
Allows you to enable or disable the switch to serve as DHCP  
client. If DHCP client is enabled, the switch will obtain the IP  
address, subnet mask and default gateway from the DHCP server  
automatically; otherwise, these three items should be configured  
manually. By default, it is disabled.  
IP Address:  
Specify the system IP address of the switch. The default system IP  
address is 192.168.0.1 and you can change it appropriate to your  
needs. The switch IP address must be compliant with the subnet  
layout.

Port Setting  
Port:  
Select the desired port for configuration. It is multi-optional.  
Status:  
Allows you to enable of disable the port. “Enable" indicates that  
the port is operational and "Disable" indicates the port is  
non-operational. If a port is unused for a long time, its status can  
be set to “Disable” to cut down the energy cost.  
Speed/Duplex:  
Flow Control:  
Select the Speed and Duplex mode for the port. The device  
connected to the switch should be in the same Speed and Duplex  
mode with the switch. Available field values are “Auto”, “10M HD”,  
“10M FD”, “100M HD”, “100M FD” and “1000M FD”. "HD" stands  
for Half-Duplex and "FD" stands for Full-Duplex. "Auto" means  
auto negotiation.  
Allows you to On/Off the Flow Control feature. When “On” is  
selected, the switch can synchronize the speed with its peer to  
avoid the packet loss caused by congestion.

Note:  
The switch cannot be managed through the disabled port. Please enable the port which is used to  
manage the switch.  
4.4.2 IGMP Snooping  
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is a multicast control mechanism, which  
can be used on the switch for dynamic registration of the multicast group.  
IGMP Snooping allows the switch to recognize the IGMP messages transmitted between network  
stations or devices and an IGMP host. When receiving IGMP report message from the IGMP host,  
the switch will add the port to the multicast address table; when listening to IGMP leave message  
from the IGMP host, the switch will remove the port from the multicast address table. By managing  
and controlling the multicast address table, the broadcasting of multicast traffic can be effectively  
prevented in the network.  
On this page you can enable IGMP snooping feature and view the current IGMP Group  
information.  
Choose the menu SystemSwitchingIGMP Snooping to load the following page.  
Figure 4-5 IGMP Snooping  
The following entries are displayed on this screen:  
IGMP Snooping  
IGMP Snooping:  
IP Address:  
VLAN ID:  
Enable or disable IGMP snooping function globally on the switch.  
Displays the multicast IP address.  
Displays the VLAN ID of the multicast group. If the packet does  
not carry VLAN ID, then here displays the PVID of the port. All port  
members of a multicast group should be divided to the same  
VLAN, and have the same PVID.  
Ports:  
Displays the forwarding port list of the multicast group.  
4.4.3 Port Trunk  
Port trunk is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data  
path, which can highly extend the bandwidth. The bandwidth of the trunk is the sum of bandwidth  
of its member ports.  
There are some rules on using trunk:  
For the member ports in a trunk group, their configuration of Port setting (Speed and Duplex,  
Flow Control), QoS must be the same.  
12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
For the newly joined member ports in a trunk group, their default setting of Port setting  
(Speed and Duplex, Flow Control), QoS will be configured the same as that of the first  
member port in the trunk group.  
The trunk member ports cannot be set as mirroring port.  
Before setting the trunk, its member ports should be divided to the same VLAN, and have the  
same PVID and drop the untagged packet rule. Change of the trunk setting will not affect the  
VLAN setting.  
If the port trunk is needed, you are suggested to configure the port trunk function here before  
configuring the other functions for the member ports.  
On this page, you can configure and view the information of the trunk group of the switch.  
Choose the menu SystemSwitchingPort Trunk to load the following page.  
Figure 4-6 Trunk Group Setting

Port:  
Tips:  
Select the port as the trunk group member. It is multi-optional.  
Clearing all the ports of the trunk group will delete this trunk group.  
Calculate the bandwidth for a trunk group: If a trunk consists of the four ports whose Speed/Duplex  
mode is 1000Mbps/Full Duplex, the whole bandwidth of the trunk group is up to 8000Mbps  
(2000Mbps * 4) because the bandwidth of each member port is 2000Mbps counting the up-linked  
speed of 1000Mbps and the down-linked speed of 1000Mbps.  
4.5 Monitoring  
Monitoring module monitors the traffic information of the switch, and provides the convenient  
method to locate and solve the network problem, includes four submenus: Port Statistics, Port  
Mirror, Cable Test and Loop Prevention.

Chapter 5 VLAN  
The traditional Ethernet is a data network communication technology based on CSMA/CD (Carrier  
Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) via shared communication medium. Through the  
traditional Ethernet, the overfull hosts in LAN will result in serious collision, flooding broadcasts,  
poor performance or even breakdown of the Internet. Though connecting the LANs through  
switches can avoid the serious collision, the flooding broadcasts cannot be prevented, which will  
occupy plenty of bandwidth resources, causing potential serious security problems.  
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical  
scheme rather than the physical layout. The VLAN technology is developed for switches to control  
broadcast in LANs. By creating VLANs in a physical LAN, you can divide the LAN into multiple  
logical LANs, each of which has a broadcast domain of its own. Hosts in the same VLAN  
communicate with one another as if they are in a LAN. However, hosts in different VLANs cannot  
communicate with one another directly. Therefore, broadcast packets are limited in a VLAN. Hosts  
in the same VLAN communicate with one another via Ethernet whereas hosts in different VLANs  
communicate with one another through the Internet devices such as router, the Lay3 switch, etc.  
The following figure illustrates a VLAN implementation.  
Figure 5-1 VLAN implementation  
Compared with the traditional Ethernet, VLAN enjoys the following advantages.  
1Broadcasts are confined to VLANs. This decreases bandwidth utilization and improves  
network performance.  
2Network security is improved. VLANs cannot communicate with one another directly. That  
is, a host in a VLAN cannot access resources in another VLAN directly, unless routers or  
Layer 3 switches are used.  
3Network configuration workload for the host is reduced. VLAN can be used to group  
specific hosts. When the physical position of a host changes within the range of the VLAN,  
you do not need to change its network configuration.  
22  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
There are 3 types of VLAN modes supported in the switch:  
1. MTU VLAN  
MTU VLAN (Multi-Tenant Unit VLAN) defines an uplink port which will build up several VLANs with  
each of the other ports. Each VLAN contains two ports, the uplink port and one of the other ports in  
the switch, so the uplink port can communicate with any other port but other ports cannot  
communicate with each other.  
2. Port Based VLAN  
VLANs are divided based on ports. By default, the Port Based VLAN is enabled.  
3. 802.1Q VLAN  
The IEEE 802.1Q protocol defines a new format of the frame; it adds a Tag header in the original  
Ethernet frame, as follows:  
Figure 5-2 IEEE 802.1Q frame  
VLAN tags in the packets are necessary for the switch to identify packets of different VLANs. The  
switch works at the data link layer in OSI model and it can identify the data link layer encapsulation  
of the packet only, so you can add the VLAN tag field into the data link layer encapsulation for  
identification.  
IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN is divided by VLAN ID (VID). On receiving a frame, the switch checks the  
VID in the Tag header of the frame to decide which VLAN it belongs to. If the receiving frame  
doesn’t contain the Tag header, the switch will assign a Tag to the frame, using the PVID of the  
port as its VID.  
In this User Guide, the tagged packet refers to the packet with VLAN tag whereas the untagged  
packet refers to the packet without VLAN tag.  
The VLAN module is mainly for VLAN configuration, including four submenus: MTU VLAN, Port  
Based VLAN, 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1Q PVID Setting.  
5.1 MTU VLAN

Note:  
1. The uplink port will form several VLANs with each of the other ports. Each VLAN contains two  
ports, the uplink port and one of the other ports in the switch, thus the uplink port can  
communicate with any other port but other ports cannot communicate with each other.  
2. For the first time the MTU VLAN mode is enabled, the switch will set port 1 as the uplink port  
by default.

5.4 802.1Q PVID Setting  
PVID (Port Vlan ID) is the default VID of the port. When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged  
packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet according to the PVID of its received port and forward  
the packets.  
When creating VLANs, the PVID of each port, indicating the default VLAN to which the port  
belongs, is an important parameter with the following two purposes:  
1When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet  
according to the PVID of its received port  
2PVID determines the default broadcast domain of the port, i.e. when the port receives UL  
packets or broadcast packets, the port will broadcast the packets in its default VLAN.  
On this page you can configure PVID of the specified port. By default, the PVID of all ports is 1.

Chapter 6 QoS  
QoS (Quality of Service) functions to provide different quality of service for various network  
applications and requirements and optimize the bandwidth resource distribution so as to provide a  
network service experience of a better quality.  
QoS  
This switch classifies the ingress packets, maps the packets to four different priority queues and  
then forwards the packets according to Strict-Priority scheduling algorithms to implement QoS  
function.  
Figure 6-1 QoS function  
Traffic classification: Identifies packets conforming to certain characters according to certain  
rules.  
Map: This switch supports four priority queues. The priority queues are labeled as 1(Lowest),  
2(Normal), 3(Medium) and 4(Highest), among them the bigger the value, the higher the  
priority. The ingress packets are mapped to four different priority queues based on the QoS  
modes. This switch implements two QoS modes based on port and on 802.1P.  
Queue scheduling algorithm: When the network is congested, the problem that many packets  
compete for resources must be solved, usually in the way of queue scheduling. In both  
port-based and 802.1P QoS modes, this switch adopts Strict-Priority scheduling algorithm. In  
Strict-Priority scheduling algorithm, the queue with higher priority will occupy the whole  
bandwidth. Packets in the queue with lower priority are sent only when the queue with higher  
priority is empty.  
QoS Mode  
This switch implements two QoS modes based on port and on 802.1P. By default, the QoS mode  
based on port is enabled and the other one is optional.  
29

1. Port Based  
When port-base QoS mode is enabled, the user can manually map the ingress packets of the port  
to four different priority queues. After that, the switch will preferentially send packets in the queue  
with higher priority, and only when the queue with higher priority is empty, packets in the queue  
with lower priority are sent.  
2. 802.1P Based  
Figure 6-2 802.1Q frame  
As shown in the figure above, each 802.1Q Tag has a Pri field, comprising 3 bits. The 3-bit priority  
field is 802.1p priority in the range of 0 to 7. The 802.1p priority value determines how the switch  
maps the ingress packets to the priority queues. The mapping relationship between eight 802.1p  
priority value and priority queues is shown as follows:  
Figure 6-3 Map 802.1P priority  
Priority 1 and 2 are assigned to the 1 (Lowest) priority queue.  
Priority 0 and 3 are assigned to the 2 (Normal) priority queue.  
Priority 4 and 5 are assigned to the 3 (Medium) priority queue.  
Priority 6 and 7 are assigned to the 4 (Highest) priority queue.  
When 802.1P QoS mode is enabled, the switch will automatically map the ingress packets to  
priority queues based on the 802.1p priority and the above mapping relationship. After that, the  
switch will preferentially send packets in the queue with higher priority, and only when the queue  
with higher priority is empty, packets in the queue with lower priority are sent. As for the untagged  
packets, the switch will forward it according to the default port-based QoS mode.  
The QoS module is mainly for priority configuration and traffic control, including three submenus:  
QoS Basic, Bandwidth Control and Storm Control.  
6.1 QoS Basic  
This switch classifies the ingress packets, maps the packets to different priority queues and then  
forwards the packets to implement QoS function.  
This switch implements two priority modes based on port and on 802.1P. The port-based QoS mode  
supports four priority queues. The port priority queues are labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4.
