4-3-5-1. VLAN Configure  
Choose a VLAN  
In the VLAN Configure menu select the type of VLAN you want to configure: VLAN  
Disabled (default), Port Based VLAN, or IRRR802.1Q Tag based VLAN. Save the  
configuration. There are 3 different options for VLANs to choose from using  
the space bar: Disabled, Port Based and 802.1Q.  
To configure a new VLAN, select Edit and then use the tab key to select items you  
want to configure. The space bar allows you to select the different options.  
After adding a VLAN group, the configuration option Edit a VLAN Group will allow  
you to change the membership by adding or deleting ports.  
Port Based VLANs  
These VLANs only apply to this switch. The VLANs can be overlapping, meaning  
that any port can belong to more than one VLAN. One configuration that is  
common for port based VLANs is to have all the ports on the switch on separate  
VLANs except for the port that has the server connected. The port connected to  
the server belongs to all the VLANs. This enables security between ports but  
allows all ports access to the server. Up to 256 different port based VLANs may be  
configured.  
IEEE802.1Q VLANs  
If IEEE802.1Q VLANs is selected, all the ports will belong to the default  
VLAN 1.  
If more than one VLAN is necessary, the additional VLANs may be created.  
PVID (Port VID): Set the port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged  
traffic on a given port. This feature is useful for accommodating devices that  
you want to participate in the VLAN, but don’t support tagging. Only one  
untagged VLAN is allowed per port. Other VLANs need to be tagged.

4-3-8-1. MAC Address Ageing Time  
To configure a different MAC Address Ageing Time, type the number of  
seconds that an inactive MAC address remains in the switch’s address table  
before it is deleted. Once the address is removed from the table, a device  
will have to send out broadcast packets to be relearned by the switch and  
have its address put in the table. The valid range is 300 to765 seconds.  
Default is 300 seconds.  
47  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
4-3-8-2. Broadcast Storm Filtering  
Broadcast storm filtering is used to limit the amount of broadcast traffic on  
the network. An excessive amount of broadcast traffic can inhibit data  
packets from timely delivery.  
The valid threshold values are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and NO. If the  
broadcast traffic is greater than the configured value, broadcast packets will  
be dropped. The default is NO. The default is set so that no broadcast  
packets are ever dropped no matter how many broadcast packets there are  
on the network.  
4-3-8-3. Max Bridge Transmit Delay Bound  
Max bridge transmit delay bound (0,1-4 sec): Limits the packets queuing  
time in the switch. If enabled, the packets exceeding the queuing time will  
be dropped. Press the Space key to set the time. Valid values are 1sec,  
2sec, 4sec and Off. The default is 1 second when this feature is enabled.  
This setting does not depend on what values are set in the “Priority  
Configuration” menu.  
Enable Delay Bound: If this parameter is enabled, the “Max bridge transmit  
delay bound” must also be configured. This item allows you to limit queuing  
time of the low priority packets in the switch. When the low priority packets  
exceed the “Max Delay Time” they will be transmitted. Press the Space key  
to enable or disable this function. By default the Enable Delay Bound is set  
to OFF.  
Max Delay Time: Set the time that low priority packets are queued in the  
switch. The valid range is 0 to 255 ms. Since the default is OFF, the Max  
Delay Time is 0. This item must be set if “Enable Delay Bound” is  
configured.  
NOTE: “Max bridge transmit delay bound control” must be enabled before  
Max Delay Bound is enabled.

4-3-8-4. Collision Retry Forever  
Collisions Retry Forever: User can choose to disable collision retry forever and,  
if a collision occurs in half-duplex mode, the switch will attempt to send the packet  
48 times and then drop the frame. When enabled, a collision that occurs in half-  
duplex mode will result in repeated attempts by the switch forever.  
4-3-8-5. Hash Algorithm  
This Hash Algorithm is for hardware maintenance on the MAC table calculation.  
This field should only be changed if an excessive amount of MAC address  
table collisions are seen. It changes the hashing algorithm for storing new  
MAC addresses in local memory.  
4-3-8-6. IFG Compensation  
IFG compensation: Disable or Enable  
Provides the ability to compensate for shorter inter-frame gaps during rate  
limiting. It is recommended that this selection remain disabled.

PathCost: Specifies the path cost of the port that the switch uses to  
determine which ports are the forwarding ports. If you change the value, you  
need to restart the switch for valid value change to take effect.  
Priority: Specifies the path cost of the port that the switch uses to determine  
which ports are the forwarding ports. The lowest number is picked as the  
forwarding port. The range is 1-65535 and the default value is based on  
IEEE802.1D standard. The values should be in the range: 10Mb/s = 50-  
600

5-4-2-2. Advanced Settings  
MAC Address Entry Age-out Time: Enter the number of seconds that an  
inactive MAC address remains in the switch's address table. The valid range  
is 300 to 765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds.  
Max bridge transmit delay bound control: Limits the packets queuing  
time in the switch. If enabled, the packets that exceed the time limit in the  
queue will be dropped. This valid values are 1sec, 2 sec, 4 sec and off.  
Default is 1 second.  
Enable Low Queue Delay Bound: Limits the low priority packets queuing  
time in switch. If a low priority packet in the switch exceeds the Max Delay  
Time, it will be sent. The valid range is 1to 255 ms.  
NOTE: Make sure the “Max bridge transit delay bound control” is enabled  
before enabling Delay Bound. The Enable Delay Bound only works under  
“Max bridge transit delay bound control is enabled” situation.  
Broadcast Storm Filter: The threshold is the percentage of the port's total  
bandwidth used by broadcast traffic. To configure broadcast storm control,  
first enable it and then set the upper threshold for each individual port.  
When broadcast traffic for a port rises above the threshold set, broadcast  
storm control becomes active. The valid threshold values are 5%, 10%,  
15%, 20%, 25% and OFF.

Priority Queue Service settings:  
First Come First Service: The sequence of packets sent is dependent on the  
order of arrival. The first packets in the queue are transmitted before any  
other packets.  
All High before Low: The high priority packets are sent before the low  
priority packets.  
Weighted Round Robin: This option enables the user to choose a ratio of  
the number of high priority packets sent before one low priority packet is  
sent. For example, 2:1 (2 High : 1 Low) will have the switch send 2 high  
priority packets before sending 1 low priority packet.  
Qos Policy: High Priority Levels: 0 to 7 priority level can map to a high or  
low queue. When the VLAN Tag number of a frame is mapping as a high  
priority level, this frame always has high priority. In this example, the QoS  
policy applies to the switch, not for a single port.

IGMP Theory of Operation  
The following three topologies detail how IGMP Query works and to be  
configured within a network:  
1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is smaller  
than other switches in the subnet.  
91  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is not smaller  
than other switches in the subnet. This Router supports IGMP protocol, but  
IGMP has to be enabled, and the Router has to be the Querier.  
92  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. The following topology must be set when the IP address of the switch is  
not the smallest in the subnet. The network will cause a multi-cast storm  
from the IGMP client report if it is in Auto mode. All switches must be in  
disable mode when the VOD server is configured for IGMP Querier.  
Note: It is suggested that the VOD server switch have the smallest IP  
address.

5-4-4. Port Controls  
The menu allows changing of port configurations.  
State: User can disable or enable each port.  
Negotiation: User can set auto negotiation mode for each port to Auto,  
Nway (specify the speed/duplex on this port and enable auto-negotiation) or  
Force.  
Speed: User can set 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed on Ports 1 to 24. User can  
set 1000Mbps, 100Mbps or 10Mbps speed on Ports 25 and 26, depending  
on module installed.  
Duplex: User can set full-duplex or half-duplex mode for each port.  
Flows control: User can set flow control function to enabled (ON) or  
disabled (OFF) in Full Duplex mode.  
Back Pressure: User can set backpressure to enabled (ON) or disabled  
(OFF) in Half Duplex mode.  
Band Width: Ports 1 to 24 support by-port ingress and egress rate control.  
For example, if port 1 is set to 10Mbps, you can set it’s effective egress rate  
to 1Mbps and ingress rateto 500Kbps. The MIL-SM2401M will perform flow  
control or backpressure to confine the ingress rate to meet the specified  
rate.  
In: Enter the port effective ingress rate. The valid range is 0 to 1000. The  
unit is 100K.  
0: disable rate control.  
1 to 1000: valid rate value  
Out: Enter the port effective egress rate. The valid range is 0 to 1000.  
The unit is 100K.  
0: disable rate control.  
1 to 1000: valid rate value.  
Priority: This static priority is based on each port setting. If the port priority  
is set high, incoming frames from this port will always be high priority  
frames.  
Security: A port in security mode will be “locked” unless address learning is  
enabled. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the  
address table can be forwarded normally. User can disable the port from  
learning any new MAC addresses, and then use the static MAC

5-4-5. Trunking  
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) standardized means for  
exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their  
Link Aggregation Control instances. To reach agreement on the identity of  
the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that  
Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception  
functions in an orderly manner. Link aggregation allows grouping of up to  
eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can  
expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires  
full-duplex mode. For more detailed information refer to IEEE 802.3ad.  
If there are two trunk groups A and B, and B group is enabled LACP, then it  
will act as a redundant link (Backup group for Trunk group A). If trunk group  
A fails, Group B will be it's backup.  
97

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.  
To create a trunk across two or more ports:  
1. Group ID: Choose the "Group ID" and click "Get".  
2. LACP: If enabled, the group supports LACP. If disabled, the group is a  
local static trunking group between two switches. All ports support LACP  
dynamic trunking group. If connecting to another device that also  
supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created  
automatically.  
3. Work ports: Enter the maximum number of ports that can be aggregated  
at the same time. If the group is an LACP static trunking group, the  
exceed ports is standby and able to aggregate if work ports fail. If the  
group is a local static trunking group, the number must be the same as  
group ports.  
4. Select the ports to join the trunking group. If LACP is enabled, you can  
configure LACP Active/Passive status for each port.  
5. Click the Apply button to save the new configuration.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
5-4-5-3. State Activity  
Active (selected): The active port automatically sends LACP protocol  
packets.  
Passive (not selected): The passive port does not automatically send LACP  
protocol packets, but responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets  
from the other device.  
A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform  
dynamic LACP trunking. A link that has two passive LACP ports will not  
perform dynamic LACP trunking because both ports are waiting for an LACP  
protocol packet from the opposite device.  
If the port has active LACP’s, and you select the trunking port, the active  
status will be created automatically.

5-4-6. Forwarding and Filtering  
5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping  
The switch supports IP multicasting. You can enable IGMP via the web  
management’s configuration screen. In addition, you can view different  
multicast groups, VIDs and member ports, and IP multicast addresses that  
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. IP manages multicast traffic by using  
switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the  
ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast  
traffic through the switch. IGMP has three fundamental types of messages.  
Message  
Query  
Description  
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking  
for a response from each host belonging to the multicast group.  
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host  
wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report  
message.  
Report  
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host  
has quit to be a member of a specific multicast group.

5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address  
When a static MAC address is added, it remains in the switch's address  
table, regardless of whether or not 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. Click on Administrator on the main menu.  
2. Click on Filter Database.  
3. Click Static MAC Addresses. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC  
address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic,  
regardless of the device's network activity.  
4. In the Port Number box, select a port number.  
5. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static  
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-  
based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.  
6. Click the Add button.  
102

5-4-6-3. MAC Filtering  
MAC address filtering allows the switch to drop unwanted traffic. Traffic is filtered  
based on the destination addresses.  
Steps to specify a MAC address to filter:  
1. In the MAC Address box, enter the MAC address to filter.  
1. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLAN are set up on the switch, in the VLAN ID  
box, type the VID to associate with the MAC address.  
2. Click the Add button.  
3. To delete a MAC address, highlight the selection in the table you want to  
delete and then click the Delete button.

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 of reconnecting a group of network  
devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still  
plugged into the same switch physically.  
The MIL-SM2401M supports port-based, 802.1Q (tag-based) and protocol-  
based VLANs. VLAN support is Disabled and all ports belong to a single  
broadcast domain by default.  
NOTE: Rebooting the switch is necessary for changes to take effect.  
Support Port-based VLANs  
Ethernet frames received on a port are sent only to ports belonging to the  
same VLAN group of ports. All ports default belonging to the same VLAN  
group. The VLAN information included in Ethernet frames tagged with  
VLAN IDs is ignored by the switch in Port Based VLAN mode.  
Support Tag-based VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN)  
The IEEE 802.1Q specification is the standard for Port-based Tagging.  
Therefore, it is possible to create a VLAN across devices from different  
switch suppliers. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses a technique to insert a “tag” into  
the Ethernet frames. The tag contains a VLAN Identifier (VID) that indicates  
the VLAN numbers.  
104

Support Protocol-based VLAN  
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it has to be  
either capable of tagging the packets it sends with VLAN tags OR be  
attached to a VLAN-aware bridge. The VLAN-aware bridge must be capable  
of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID. The  
classification and tagging of the packets is based on default PVID and other  
information about the packet, such as the protocol.  
MIL-SM2401M will support protocol-based VLAN classification by means of  
both built-in knowledge of layer 2 packet formats used by selected popular  
protocols, such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk’s EtherTalk, and some degree  
of programmable protocol matching capability.  
Create a VLAN and add tagged member ports to it.  
1. Click the Add button to create a new VLAN group.  
2. Enter the VLAN name, group ID and select the members for the new  
VLAN.  
3. Click the Apply button.  
4. If the number of groups exceeds the limit for a single page, click the  
NextPage button to view other VLAN groups.  
NOTE: Use the Edit button to view and modify existing VLAN Groups.

5-4-7-1. 802.1Q (802.1Q VLAN)  
On this page, the user can create Tag-based VLANs, and enable or disable  
GVRP protocol. There are 256 VLAN groups provided to configure. If  
802.1Q VLAN is enabled, then all ports on the switch belong to the default  
VLAN1. The default VLAN1 can’t be deleted.  
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol)  
GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the switch and nodes.  
A GVRP request can be sent using the VID of a VLAN defined on the switch  
when the switch is connected to a device with GVRP enabled. The switch  
will automatically add that device to the existing VLAN.

port. This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you want to  
participate in the VLAN but that don’t support tagging. Only one untagged  
VLAN is allowed per port. Other VLANs need to be tagged. The VLAN ID  
must be the same as the VLAN ID of the port that belongs to the VLAN  
group, or the untagged traffic will be dropped.

5-4-8. Spanning Tree  
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D)  
for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled it ensures  
that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the  
network.  
Spanning-Tree Protocol can be enabled using web management’s switch  
setting advanced item, and selecting enable Spanning-Tree protocol. By  
default, spanning tree is disabled on the switch.  
It is recommended that STP be enabled on all switches to ensure a single  
active path on the network.

Troubleshooting  
This section is intended to help you solve some common problems  
encountered while using the MIL-SM2401M switch series.  
Incorrect connections  
The switch auto-detects the polarity and direction of the UTP cable  
attached. If no link I seen, then check the following:  
Faulty or loose cables  
Look for loose or obviously faulty connections. If they appear to be  
OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does not correct  
the problem, try different cables.  
Non-standard cables  
Non-standard and miswired cables may cause numerous network  
collisions and other network problems. This can seriously impair  
network performance. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended  
tool for every network installation.  
Improper Network Topologies  
It is important to make sure that you have a valid network topology.  
Common topology faults include excessive cable length and too  
many repeaters or hubs between end nodes. In addition, you should  
make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops.  
Between any two ends nodes, there should be only one active  
cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast  
storms that will severely impact your network performance.

Diagnostic LED Indicators  
The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in  
identifying problems.  
If the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in,  
you may have a problem with power outlet or power cord. However, if  
the switch powers off after running for awhile, check for loose power  
connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot  
resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.  
Cabling  
RJ-45 ports: Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair  
(STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for  
10Mbps connections or 100Category 5 cable for 100Mbps  
connections. Be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection  
does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).  
100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X Fiber port: Multi-mode fiber connector  
types must use 50/125 or 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber cable. Two  
devices may be connected over a 2 kilometer distance. Single-mode  
fiber connector types must use 9/125 µm single mode fiber cable. Two  
devices may be connected over a15 to 60 kilometer distance in full  
duplex operation in single mode.  
1000Base-TX ports use all 8 wires for communication and requireCat-5  
or better cable quality.
