your PC Com port using a RJ45 to DB9-Female cable.

1. Connect your PC to the switches’ Console port.

2. Launch the serial terminal program.
3. Configure the port settings of the serial terminal program to match the console
port:
 115200 baud
 8 data bits
 No parity
 1 stop bit
 No flow control
4. The administrator username/ password are admin/admin by default. Enter the
username and password to login the serial console.

Configuration by Telnet console

1. Connect your PC and the switches on the same logical subnetwork.
2. Launch the Telnet program.
3. Configure the switches default settings of the Telnet program:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.254
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: none
4. The administrator username/ password are admin/admin by default. Enter the
username and password to login the Telnet console.

IP Configuration
Configure IP basic settings, control IP interfaces and IP routes.
The maximum number of interfaces supported is 8 and the maximum number of
routes is 32.

Mode
Configure whether the IP stack should act as a Hostor a Router.
Factory
Setting Description
Default
Host IP traffic between interfaces will not be routed.
Host
Router IP traffic is routed between all interfaces.

DNS Server
This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. There are four
servers available for configuration, and the index of the server presents the preference
(less index has higher priority) in doing DNS name resolution. System selects the
active DNS server from configuration in turn, if the preferred server does not respond
in five attempts.

DNS Proxy
When DNS proxy is enabled, system will relay DNS requests to the currently
configured DNS server, and reply as a DNS resolver to the client devices on the
network. Only IPv4 DNS proxy is now supported.

IP Interfaces
Click the Add Interface button to add a new IP interface. A maximum of 8 interfaces
is supported.

Setting Description
Delete Select this option to delete an existing IP interface.
The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN will
VLAN be able to access the IP interface. This field is only available for input
when creating a new interface.
Enable the DHCPv4 client by checking this box. If this option is
IPv4 DHCP enabled, the system will configure the IPv4 address and mask of the
Enabled interface using the DHCPv4 protocol. The DHCPv4 client will announce
the configured System Name as hostname to provide DNS lookup.
The number of seconds for trying to obtain a DHCP lease. After this
IPv4 DHCP period expires, a configured IPv4 address will be used as IPv4
Fallback interface address. A value of zero disables the fallback mechanism,
Timeout such that DHCP will keep retrying until a valid lease is obtained. Legal
values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
IPv4 DHCP
For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column show the
Current
current interface address, as provided by the DHCP server.
Lease
The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation. If DHCP
IPv4 is enabled, this field configures the fallback address. The field may be
Address left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no
DHCP fallback address is desired.
[8]
 The IPv4 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values
are between 0 and 30 bits for a IPv4 address. If DHCP is enabled, this
IPv4 Mask field configures the fallback address network mask. The field may be
left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired - or no
DHCP fallback address is desired.
Enable the DHCPv6 client by checking this box. If this option is
DHCPv6
enabled, the system will configure the IPv6 address of the interface
Enable
using the DHCPv6 protocol.
Enable the DHCPv6 Rapid-Commit option by checking this box. If this
DHCPv6
option is enabled, the DHCPv6 client terminates the waiting process as
Rapid
soon as a Reply message with a Rapid Commit option is received. This
Commit
option is only manageable when DHCPv6 client is enabled.
DHCPv6
For DHCPv6 interface with an active lease, this column shows the
Current
interface address provided by the DHCPv6 server.
Lease
The IPv6 address of the interface. A IPv6 address is in 128-bit records
represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a
colon separating each field (:). For example,
fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that can
IPv6
be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of
Address
contiguous zeros; but it can appear only once.
System accepts the valid IPv6 unicast address only, except IPv4-
Compatible address and IPv4-Mapped address. The field may be left
blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values
IPv6 Mask are between 1 and 128 bits for a IPv6 address. The field may be left
blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
The link-local address is formed from an interface identifier based on
the hardware address which is supposed to be uniquely assigned.
Once the DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) detects the address
duplication, the operation on the interface SHOULD be disabled. At
Resolving this moment, manual intervention is required to resolve the address
IPv6 DAD duplication. For example, check whether the loop occurs in the VLAN
or there is indeed other device occupying the same hardware address
as the device in the VLAN. After making sure the specific link-local
address is unique on the IPv6 link in use, delete and then add the
specific IPv6 interface to restart the IPv6 operations on this interface.

Configuration > Green Ethernet > Port Power Savings

Port Power Saving Configuration

What is EEE
EEE is a power saving option that reduces the power usage when there is low or no
traffic utilization.
EEE works by powering down circuits when there is no traffic. When a port gets data
to be transmitted all circuits are powered up. The time it takes to power up the circuits
is named wakeup time. The default wakeup time is 17 us for 1Gbit links and 30 us for
other link speeds. EEE devices must agree upon the value of the wakeup time in order
to make sure that both the receiving and transmitting device has all circuits powered
up when traffic is transmitted. The devices can exchange wakeup time information
using the LLDP protocol.
EEE works for ports in auto-negotiation mode, where the port is negotiated to either
1G or 100 Mbit full duplex mode.
For ports that are not EEE-capable the corresponding EEE checkboxes are grayed out
and thus impossible to enable EEE for.
When a port is powered down for saving power, outgoing traffic is stored in a buffer
until the port is powered up again. Because there are some overhead in turning the
port down and up, more power can be saved if the traffic can be buffered up until a
large burst of traffic can be transmitted. Buffering traffic will give some latency in the
traffic.

Optimize EEE for

The switch can be set to optimize EEE for either best power saving or least traffic
latency.
Factory
Setting Description
Default
Power Best power saving
Latency

[16]
Port Configuration

Setting Description
Port The switch port number of the logical port.
Link down power savings enabled. ActiPHY works by lowering the
ActiPHY power for a port when there is no link. The port is power up for
short moment in order to determine if cable is inserted.
Cable length power savings enabled. PerfectReach works by
PerfectReach determining the cable length and lowering the power for ports with
short cables.
Controls whether EEE is enabled for this switch port. For
maximizing power savings, the circuit isn’t started at once transmit
data is ready for a port, but is instead queued until a burst of data
is ready to be transmitted. This will give some traffic latency. If
EEE desired it is possible to minimize the latency for specific frames, by
mapping the frames to a specific queue (done with QOS), and then
mark the queue as an urgent queue. When an urgent queue gets
data to be transmitted, the circuits will be powered up at once and
the latency will be reduced to the wakeup time.
Queues set will activate transmission of frames as soon as data is
EEE Urgent
available. Otherwise the queue will postpone transmission until a
Queues
burst of frames can be transmitted.

Configured Link Speed

Selects any available link speed for the given switch port. Only speeds supported by
the specific port is shown.
Factory
Setting Description
Default
Disabled Disables the switch port operation.
Port auto negotiating speed with the link partner and
Auto selects the highest speed that is compatible with the
link partner. Auto
10Mbps HDX Forces the cu port in 10Mbps half-duplex mode.
10Mbps FDX Forces the cu port in 10Mbps full-duplex mode.
100Mbps HDX Forces the cu port in 100Mbps half-duplex mode.

[18]
100Mbps FDX Forces the cu port in 100Mbps full-duplex mode.
1Gbps FDX Forces the port in 1Gbps full-duplex.

Advertise Duplex
When duplex is set as auto i.e auto negotiation, the port will only advertise the
specified duplex as either Fdx or Hdx to the link partner. By default port will advertise
all the supported duplexes if the Duplex is Auto.

Advertise Speed
When Speed is set as auto i.e auto negotiation, the port will only advertise the
specified speeds (10M, 100M, 1G) to the link partner. By default port will advertise
all the supported speeds if speed is set as Auto.

Flow Control
When Auto Speed is selected on a port, this section indicates the flow control
capability that is advertised to the link partner. When a fixed-speed setting is selected,
that is what is used. The Current Rx column indicates whether pause frames on the
port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column indicates whether pause frames on the
port are transmitted. The Rx and Tx settings are determined by the result of the last
Auto Negotiation. Check the configured column to use flow control. This setting is
related to the setting for Configured Link Speed.

NOTE: The 100FX standard doesn’t support Auto Negotiation, so when in 100FX
mode the flow control capabilities will always be shown as disabled.

PFC
When PFC (802.1Qbb Priority Flow Control) is enabled on a port then flow control on a
priority level is enabled. Through the Priority field, range (one or more) of priorities
can be configured, e.g. ‘0-3,7’ which equals ‘0,1,2,3,7’. PFC is not supported through
auto negotiation. PFC and Flow control cannot both be enabled on the same port.

Frame Length Check

Configures if frames with incorrect frame length in the EtherType/Length field shall be
dropped. An Ethernet frame contains a field EtherType which can be used to indicate
the frame payload size (in bytes) for values of 1535 and below. If the
[19]
EtherType/Length field is above 1535, it indicates that the field is used as an
EtherType (indicating which protocol is encapsulated in the payload of the frame).
Factory
Setting Description
Default
Frames with payload size less than 1536 bytes are

• Debug: Only present in CLI.

Privilege Levels
Every group has an authorization Privilege level for the following sub groups:
configuration read-only, configuration/execute read-write, status/statistics read-only,
status/statistics read-write (e.g. for clearing of statistics). User Privilege should be
same or greater than the authorization Privilege level to have the access to that

Notes that some web pages(for example, MPLS-TP and MEP BFD pages) are based on
JSON to transmit dynamic data between the web server and application. These pages
require the configuration Read/Write privilege of JSON_RPC group before any

Configuration > Security > Network > Limit Control

Port Security Limit Control Configuration

Limit Control allows for limiting the number of users on a given port. A user is
identified by a MAC address and VLAN ID. If Limit Control is enabled on a port, the
limit specifies the maximum number of users on the port. If this number is exceeded,
an action is taken. The action can be one of the four different actions as described
below.
The Limit Control module utilizes a lower-layer module, Port Security module, which
manages MAC addresses learnt on the port.
The Limit Control configuration consists of two sections, a system- and a port-wide.

System Configuration

Setting Description
Indicates if Limit Control is globally enabled or disabled on the
switch. If globally disabled, other modules may still use the
Mode
underlying functionality, but limit checks and corresponding
actions are disabled.
If checked, secured MAC addresses are subject to aging as
Aging Enabled
discussed under Aging
If Aging Enabled is checked, then the aging period is controlled
with this input. If other modules are using the underlying port
security for securing MAC addresses, they may have other
requirements to the aging period. The underlying port security will
use the shorter requested aging period of all modules that use the
functionality.
The Aging Period can be set to a number between 10 and
10,000,000 seconds.
To understand why aging may be desired, consider the following
Aging Period scenario: Suppose an end-host is connected to a 3rd party switch
or hub, which in turn is connected to a port on this switch on
which Limit Control is enabled. The end-host will be allowed to
forward if the limit is not exceeded. Now suppose that the end-
host logs off or powers down. If it wasn't for aging, the end-host
would still take up resources on this switch and will be allowed to
forward. To overcome this situation, enable aging. With aging
enabled, a timer is started once the end-host gets secured. When
the timer expires, the switch starts looking for frames from the
end-host, and if such frames are not seen within the next Aging
[59]
 Period, the end-host is assumed to be disconnected, and the
corresponding resources are freed on the switch.

Port Configuration
The table has one row for each port on the switch and a number of columns.

Setting Description
Port The port number to which the configuration below applies.
Controls whether Limit Control is enabled on this port. Both this
and the Global Mode must be set to Enabled for Limit Control to be
Mode in effect. Notice that other modules may still use the underlying
port security features without enabling Limit Control on a given
port.
The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be secured on
this port. This number cannot exceed 1024. If the limit is exceeded,
the corresponding action is taken.
The switch is born with a total number of MAC addresses from
Limit
which all ports draw whenever a new MAC address is seen on a Port
Security-enabled port. Since all ports draw from the same pool, it
may happen that a configured maximum cannot be granted, if the
remaining ports have already used all available MAC addresses.

[60]
 If Limit is reached, the switch can take one of the following actions:
None: Do not allow more than Limit MAC addresses on the port,
but take no further action.
Trap: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the port, send an
SNMP trap. If Aging is disabled, only one SNMP trap will be sent,
but with Aging enabled, new SNMP traps will be sent every time the
limit gets exceeded.
Shutdown: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the port, shut
down the port. This implies that all secured MAC addresses will be
Action removed from the port, and no new address will be learned. Even if
the link is physically disconnected and reconnected on the port (by
disconnecting the cable), the port will remain shut down. There are
three ways to re-open the port:
1. Boot the switch,
2. Disable and re-enable Limit Control on the port or the switch,
3. Click the Reopen button.
Trap & Shutdown: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the port,
both the Trap and the Shutdown actions described above will be
taken.
This column shows the current state of the port as seen from the
Limit Control’s point of view. The state takes one of four values:
Disabled: Limit Control is either globally disabled or disabled on
the port.
Ready: The limit is not yet reached. This can be shown for all
State actions.
Limit Reached: Indicates that the limit is reached on this port.
This state can only be shown if Action is set to None or Trap.
Shutdown: Indicates that the port is shut down by the Limit
Control module. This state can only be shown if Action is set to
Shutdown or Trap & Shutdown.
If a port is shutdown by this module, you may reopen it by clicking
this button, which will only be enabled if this is the case. For other
Re-open
methods, refer to Shutdown in the Action section.
Button
Note that clicking the reopen button causes the page to be
refreshed, so non- committed changes will be lost.

Configuration > Security > Network > NAS

Network Access Server Configuration

This page allows you to configure the IEEE 802.1X and MAC-based authentication
system and port settings.
The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a port-based access control procedure that prevents
unauthorized access to a network by requiring users to first submit credentials for
authentication. One or more central servers, the backend servers, determine whether
the user is allowed access to the network. These backend (RADIUS) servers are
configured on the Configuration > Security > AAA page. The IEEE802.1X standard
defines port-based operation, but non-standard variants overcome security limitations
as shall be explored below.
MAC-based authentication allows for authentication of more than one user on the
same port, and doesn’t require the user to have special 802.1X supplicant software
installed on his system. The switch uses the user’s MAC address to authenticate
against the backend server. Intruders can create counterfeit MAC addresses, which
makes MAC-based authentication less secure than 802.1X authentication.
The NAS configuration consists of two sections, a system- and a port-wide.

System Configuration

Setting Description

Indicates if NAS is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If

Mode
globally disabled, all ports are allowed forwarding of frames.

[62]
 If checked, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are
reauthenticated after the interval specified by the
Reauthentication Period. Reauthentication for 802.1X-enabled
ports can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a
Reauthentication switch port or if a supplicant is no longer attached.
Enabled For MAC-based ports, reauthentication is only useful if the
RADIUS server configuration has changed. It does not involve
communication between the switch and the client, and therefore
doesn’t imply that a client is still present on a port (see Aging
Period below).
Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected
Reauthentication client must be reauthenticated. This is only active if the
Period Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is checked. Valid values are
in the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
Determines the time for retransmission of Request Identity
EAPOL frames.
EAPOL Timeout
Valid values are in the range 1 to 65535 seconds. This has no
effect for MAC- based ports.
This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the
Port Security functionality to secure MAC addresses:
• Single 802.1X
• Multi 802.1X
• MAC-Based Auth.
When the NAS module uses the Port Security module to secure
MAC addresses, the Port Security module needs to check for
activity on the MAC address in question at regular intervals and
free resources if no activity is seen within a given period of time.
Aging Period This parameter controls exactly this period and can be set to a
number between 10 and 1000000 seconds.
If reauthentication is enabled and the port is in an 802.1X-based
mode, this is not so critical, since supplicants that are no longer
attached to the port will get removed upon the next
reauthentication, which will fail. But if reauthentication is not
enabled, the only way to free resources is by aging the entries.
For ports in MAC-based Auth. mode, reauthentication doesn’t
cause direct communication between the switch and the client,
so this will not detect whether the client is still attached or not,
and the only way to free any resources is to age the entry.

[63]
 This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the
Port Security functionality to secure MAC addresses:
• Single 802.1X
• Multi 802.1X
• MAC-Based Auth.
If a client is denied access - either because the RADIUS server
denies the client access or because the RADIUS server request
Hold Time times out (according to the timeout specified on the
Configuration > Security > AAA page) - the client is put on
hold in the Unauthorized state. The hold timer does not count
during an on-going authentication.
In MAC-based Auth. mode, the switch will ignore new frames
coming from the client during the hold time.
The Hold Time can be set to a number between 10 and 1000000
seconds
RADIUS-assigned QoS provides a means to centrally control the
traffic class to which traffic coming from a successfully
authenticated supplicant is assigned on the switch. The RADIUS
server must be configured to transmit special RADIUS attributes
to take advantage of this feature (see RADIUS-Assigned QoS
RADIUS-
Enabled below for a detailed description).
Assigned QoS
The RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled checkbox provides a quick
Enabled
way to globally enable/disable RADIUS-server assigned QoS
Class functionality. When checked, the individual ports’ ditto
setting determine whether RADIUS-assigned QoS Class is
enabled on that port. When unchecked, RADIUS-server assigned
QoS Class is disabled on all ports.
RADIUS-assigned VLAN provides a means to centrally control
the VLAN on which a successfully authenticated supplicant is
placed on the switch. Incoming traffic will be classified to and
switched on the RADIUS-assigned VLAN. The RADIUS server
must be configured to transmit special RADIUS attributes to
RADIUS- take advantage of this feature (see RADIUS-Assigned VLAN
Assigned VLAN Enabled below for a detailed description).
Enabled The "RADIUS-Assigned VLAN Enabled" checkbox provides a
quick way to globally enable/disable RADIUS-server assigned
VLAN functionality. When checked, the individual ports' ditto
setting determine whether RADIUS-assigned VLAN is enabled on
that port. When unchecked, RADIUS-server assigned VLAN is
disabled on all ports.
A Guest VLAN is a special VLAN - typically with limited network
access - on which 802.1X-unaware clients are placed after a
network administrator-defined timeout. The switch follows a set
Guest VLAN
of rules for entering and leaving the Guest VLAN as listed below.
Enabled
The Guest VLAN Enabled checkbox provides a quick way to
globally enable/ disable Guest VLAN functionality. When
checked, the individual ports’ ditto setting determines whether

[64]
 the port can be moved into Guest VLAN. When unchecked, the
ability to move to the Guest VLAN is disabled on all ports.
This is the value that a port’s Port VLAN ID is set to if a port is
moved into the Guest VLAN. It is only changeable if the Guest
Guest VLAN ID VLAN option is globally enabled.
Valid values are in the range [1; 4095].
The number of times the switch transmits an EAPOL Request
Identity frame without response before considering entering the
Max. Reauth. Guest VLAN is adjusted with this setting. The value can only be
Count changed if the Guest VLAN option is globally enabled.
Valid values are in the range [1; 255].
The switch remembers if an EAPOL frame has been received on
the port for the life-time of the port. Once the switch considers
whether to enter the Guest VLAN, it will first check if this option
is enabled or disabled. If disabled (unchecked; default), the
Allow Guest switch will only enter the Guest VLAN if an EAPOL frame has not
VLAN if EAPOL been received on the port for the life-time of the port. If enabled
Seen (checked), the switch will consider entering the Guest VLAN
even if an EAPOL frame has been received on the port for the
life-time of the port.
The value can only be changed if the Guest VLAN option is
globally enabled.

Port Configuration

Port
The port number for which the configuration below applies.

[65]
Admin State
If NAS is globally enabled, this selection controls the port’s authentication mode.
Setting Description
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Success frame when
Force
the port link comes up, and any client on the port will be allowed
Authorized
network access without authentication.
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Failure frame when
Force
the port link comes up, and any client on the port will be disallowed
Unauthorized
network access.
In the 802.1X-world, the user is called the supplicant, the switch is
the authenticator, and the RADIUS server is the authentication
server. The authenticator acts as the man-in-the-middle,
forwarding requests and responses between the supplicant and the
authentication server. Frames sent between the supplicant and the
switch are special 802.1X frames, known as EAPOL (EAP Over
LANs) frames. EAPOL frames encapsulate EAP PDUs (RFC3748).
Frames sent between the switch and the RADIUS server are
RADIUS packets. RADIUS packets also encapsulate EAP PDUs
together with other attributes like the switch's IP address, name,
and the supplicant's port number on the switch. EAP is very flexible,
in that it allows for different authentication methods, like MD5-
Challenge, PEAP, and TLS. The important thing is that the
authenticator (the switch) doesn't need to know which
authentication method the supplicant and the authentication server
are using, or how many information exchange frames are needed
for a particular method. The switch simply encapsulates the EAP
part of the frame into the relevant type (EAPOL or RADIUS) and
Port-based
forwards it.
802.1X
When authentication is complete, the RADIUS server sends a
special packet containing a success or failure indication. Besides
forwarding this decision to the supplicant, the switch uses it to open
up or block traffic on the switch port connected to the supplicant.
NOTE: Suppose two backend servers are enabled and that the
server timeout is configured to X seconds (using the AAA
configuration page), and suppose that the first server in the list is
currently down (but not considered dead). Now, if the supplicant
retransmits EAPOL Start frames at a rate faster than X seconds,
then it will never get authenticated, because the switch will cancel
on-going backend authentication server requests whenever it
receives a new EAPOL Start frame from the supplicant. And since
the server hasn't yet failed (because the X seconds haven't
expired), the same server will be contacted upon the next backend
authentication server request from the switch. This scenario will
loop forever.
Therefore, the server timeout should be smaller than the
supplicant's EAPOL Start frame retransmission rate.
In port-based 802.1X authentication, once a supplicant is
Single 802.1X successfully authenticated on a port, the whole port is opened for
network traffic. This allows other clients connected to the port (for

[66]
 instance through a hub) to piggy-back on the successfully
authenticated client and get network access even though they
really aren’t authenticated. To overcome this security breach, use
the Single 802.1X variant.
Single 802.1X is really not an IEEE standard, but features many of
the same characteristics as does port-based 802.1X. In Single
802.1X, at most one supplicant can get authenticated on the port at
a time. Normal EAPOL frames are used in the communication
between the supplicant and the switch. If more than one supplicant
is connected to a port, the one that comes first when the port’s link
comes up will be the first one considered. If that supplicant doesn’t
provide valid credentials within a certain amount of time, another
supplicant will get a chance. Once a supplicant is successfully
authenticated, only that supplicant will be allowed access. This is
the most secure of all the supported modes. In this mode, the Port
Security module is used to secure a supplicant’s MAC address once
successfully authenticated.
Multi 802.1X is - like Single 802.1X - not an IEEE standard, but a
variant that features many of the same characteristics. In Multi
802.1X, one or more supplicants can get authenticated on the same
port at the same time. Each supplicant is authenticated individually
and secured in the MAC table using the Port Security module.
In Multi 802.1X it is not possible to use the multicast BPDU MAC
address as destination MAC address for EAPOL frames sent from
the switch towards the supplicant, since that would cause all
Multi 802.1X supplicants attached to the port to reply to requests sent from the
switch. Instead, the switch uses the supplicant’s MAC address,
which is obtained from the first EAPOL Start or EAPOL Response
Identity frame sent by the supplicant. An exception to this is when
no supplicants are attached. In this case, the switch sends EAPOL
Request Identity frames using the BPDU multicast MAC address as
destination - to wake up any supplicants that might be on the port.
The maximum number of supplicants that can be attached to a port
can be limited using the Port Security Limit Control functionality.
Unlike port-based 802.1X, MAC-based authentication is not a
standard, but merely a best-practices method adopted by the
industry. In MAC-based authentication, users are called clients, and
the switch acts as the supplicant on behalf of clients. The initial
frame (any kind of frame) sent by a client is snooped by the switch,
which in turn uses the client’s MAC address as both username and
password in the subsequent EAP exchange with the RADIUS server.
MAC-based The 6-byte MAC address is converted to a string on the following
Auth. form “xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx”, that is, a dash (-) is used as separator
between the lower-cased hexadecimal digits. The switch only
supports the MD5-Challenge authentication method, so the RADIUS
server must be configured accordingly.
When authentication is complete, the RADIUS server sends a
success or failure indication, which in turn causes the switch to
open up or block traffic for that particular client, using the Port
Security module. Only then will frames from the client be forwarded
[67]
 on the switch. There are no EAPOL frames involved in this
authentication, and therefore, MAC-based Authentication has
nothing to do with the 802.1X standard.
The advantage of MAC-based authentication over 802.1X-based
authentication is that the clients don’t need special supplicant
software to authenticate. The disadvantage is that MAC addresses
can be spoofed by malicious users - equipment whose MAC address
is a valid RADIUS user can be used by anyone. Also, only the MD5-
Challenge method is supported. The maximum number of clients
that can be attached to a port can be limited using the Port Security
Limit Control functionality.

RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled

When RADIUS-Assigned QoS is both globally enabled and enabled (checked) on a
given port, the switch reacts to QoS Class information carried in the RADIUS Access-
Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a supplicant is successfully
authenticated. If present and valid, traffic received on the supplicant's port will be
classified to the given QoS Class. If (re-)authentication fails or the RADIUS Access-
Accept packet no longer carries a QoS Class or it's invalid, or the supplicant is
otherwise no longer present on the port, the port's QoS Class is immediately reverted
to the original QoS Class (which may be changed by the administrator in the
meanwhile without affecting the RADIUS-assigned).
This option is only available for single-client modes, i.e.
• Port-based 802.1X
• Single 802.1X

RADIUS attributes used in identifying a QoS Class:

The User-Priority-Table attribute defined in RFC4675forms the basis for identifying the
QoS Class in an Access-Accept packet.
Only the first occurrence of the attribute in the packet will be considered, and to be
valid, it must follow this rule:
• All 8 octets in the attribute's value must be identical and consist of ASCII
characters in the range '0' - '7', which translates into the desired QoS Class in
the range [0; 7].

RADIUS-Assigned VLAN Enabled

When RADIUS-Assigned VLAN is both globally enabled and enabled (checked) for a
given port, the switch reacts to VLAN ID information carried in the RADIUS Access-
Accept packet transmitted by the RADIUS server when a supplicant is successfully
authenticated. If present and valid, the port’s Port VLAN ID will be changed to this
VLAN ID, the port will be set to be a member of that VLAN ID, and the port will be
forced into VLAN unaware mode. Once assigned, all traffic arriving on the port will be
classified and switched on the RADIUS-assigned VLAN ID.
If (re-)authentication fails or the RADIUS Access-Accept packet no longer carries a
VLAN ID or it’s invalid, or the supplicant is otherwise no longer present on the port,
the port’s VLAN ID is immediately reverted to the original VLAN ID (which may be
changed by the administrator in the meanwhile without affecting the RADIUS-
assigned).
This option is only available for single-client modes, i.e.
[68]
 • Port-based 802.1X
• Single 802.1X
For trouble-shooting VLAN assignments, use the Monitor > VLANs > VLAN
Membership and VLAN Port pages. These pages show which modules have
(temporarily) overridden the current Port VLAN configuration.

RADIUS attributes used in identifying a VLAN ID:

RFC2868 and RFC3580 form the basis for the attributes used in identifying a VLAN ID
in an Access-Accept packet. The following criteria are used:
• The Tunnel-Medium-Type, Tunnel-Type, and Tunnel-Private-Group-ID
attributes must all be present at least once in the Access-Accept packet.
• The switch looks for the first set of these attributes that have the same Tag
value and fulfill the following requirements (if Tag == 0 is used, the Tunnel-
Private-Group-ID does not need to include a Tag):
o Value of Tunnel-Medium-Type must be set to IEEE-802.
o Value of Tunnel-Type must be set to VLAN.
o Value of Tunnel-Private-Group-ID must be a string of ASCII chars in
the range 0 ~ 9, which is interpreted as a decimal string representing the
VLAN ID. Leading ‘0’s are discarded. The final value must be in the range
[1; 4095].

Guest VLAN Enabled

When Guest VLAN is both globally enabled and enabled (checked) for a given port, the
switch considers moving the port into the Guest VLAN according to the rules outlined
below.
This option is only available for EAPOL-based modes, i.e.:
• Port-based 802.1X
• Single 802.1X
• Multi 802.1X
For trouble-shooting VLAN assignments, use the “Monitor→VLANs→VLAN Membership
and VLAN Port” pages. These pages show which modules have (temporarily)
overridden the current Port VLAN configuration.

Guest VLAN Operation:

When a Guest VLAN enabled port’s link comes up, the switch starts transmitting
EAPOL Request Identity frames. If the number of transmissions of such frames
exceeds Max. Reauth. Count and no EAPOL frames have been received in the
meanwhile, the switch considers entering the Guest VLAN. The interval between
transmission of EAPOL Request Identity frames is configured with EAPOL Timeout. If
Allow Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen is enabled, the port will now be placed in the Guest
VLAN. If disabled, the switch will first check its history to see if an EAPOL frame has
previously been received on the port (this history is cleared if the port link goes down
or the port’s Admin State is changed), and if not, the port will be placed in the Guest
VLAN. Otherwise it will not move to the Guest VLAN, but continue transmitting EAPOL
Request Identity frames at the rate given by EAPOL Timeout.
Once in the Guest VLAN, the port is considered authenticated, and all attached clients
on the port are allowed access on this VLAN. The switch will not transmit an EAPOL
Success frame when entering the Guest VLAN.
[69]
While in the Guest VLAN, the switch monitors the link for EAPOL frames, and if one
such frame is received, the switch immediately takes the port out of the Guest VLAN
and starts authenticating the supplicant according to the port mode. If an EAPOL
frame is received, the port will never be able to go back into the Guest VLAN if the
Allow Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen is disabled.

Port State
The current state of the port. It can undertake one of the following values:
• Globally Disabled: NAS is globally disabled.
• Link Down: NAS is globally enabled, but there is no link on the port.
• Authorized: The port is in Force Authorized or a single-supplicant mode and the
supplicant is authorized.
• Unauthorized: The port is in Force Unauthorized or a single-supplicant mode
and the supplicant is not successfully authorized by the RADIUS server.
• X Auth/Y Unauth: The port is in a multi-supplicant mode. Currently X clients
are authorized and Y are unauthorized.

Restart
Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when
authentication is globally enabled and the port’s Admin State is in an EAPOL-based or
MAC-based mode.
Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect.
• Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication whenever the quiet-period of the
port runs out (EAPOL-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication,
reauthentication will be attempted immediately. The button only has effect for
successfully authenticated clients on the port and will not cause the clients to
get temporarily unauthorized.
• Reinitialize: Forces a reinitialization of the clients on the port and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The clients will transfer to the unauthorized state
while the reauthentication is in progress.

MVR Configurations
The MVR feature enables multicast traffic forwarding on the Multicast VLANs.
In a multicast television application, a PC or a network television or a set-top box can
receive the multicast stream. Multiple set-top boxes or PCs can be connected to one
subscriber port, which is a switch port configured as an MVR receiver port. When a
subscriber selects a channel, the set-top box or PC sends an IGMP/MLD report
message to Switch A to join the appropriate multicast group address. Uplink ports that
send and receive multicast data to and from the multicast VLAN are called MVR source
ports.
It is allowed to create at maximum 4 MVR VLANs with corresponding channel profile
for each Multicast VLAN.
The channel profile is defined by the IPMC Profile which provides the filtering
conditions.

Configuration > LLDP > LLDP-MED

LLDP-MED Configuration
This page allows you to configure the LLDP-MED. This function applies to VoIP devices
which support LLDP-MED.
Fast start repeat count

Rapid startup and Emergency Call Service Location Identification Discovery of

endpoints is a critically important aspect of VoIP systems in general. In addition, it is
best to advertise only those pieces of information which are specifically relevant to
particular endpoint types (for example only advertise the voice network policy to
permitted voice-capable devices), both in order to conserve the limited LLDPU space
and to reduce security and system integrity issues that can come with inappropriate
knowledge of the network policy.
With this in mind LLDP-MED defines an LLDP-MED Fast Start interaction between the
protocol and the application layers on top of the protocol, in order to achieve these
related properties. Initially, a Network Connectivity Device will only transmit LLDP
TLVs in an LLDPDU. Only after an LLDP-MED Endpoint Device is detected, will an LLDP-
MED capable Network Connectivity Device start to advertise LLDP-MED TLVs in
outgoing LLDPDUs on the associated interface. The LLDP-MED application will
temporarily speed up the transmission of the LLDPDU to start within a second, when a
new LLDP-MED neighbor has been detected in order share LLDP-MED information as
fast as possible to new neighbors.
Because there is a risk of an LLDP frame being lost during transmission between
neighbors, it is recommended to repeat the fast start transmission multiple times to
increase the possibility of the neighbors receiving the LLDP frame. With Fast start
repeat count it is possible to specify the number of times the fast start transmission
would be repeated. The recommended value is 4 times, given that 4 LLDP frames with
a 1 second interval will be transmitted, when an LLDP frame with new information is
received.
It should be noted that LLDP-MED and the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism is only
intended to run on links between LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Devices and
Endpoint Devices, and as such does not apply to links between LAN infrastructure
elements, including Network Connectivity Devices, or other types of links.

Altitude SHOULD be normalized to within -2097151.9 to 2097151.9
with a maximum of 1 digits.
It is possible to select between two altitude types (floors or meters).
• Meters: Representing meters of Altitude defined by the
vertical datum specified.
Altitude • Floors: Representing altitude in a form more relevant in
buildings which have different floor-to-floor dimensions. An
altitude = 0.0 is meaningful even outside a building, and
represents ground level at the given latitude and longitude.
Inside a building, 0.0 represents the floor level associated with
ground level at the main entrance.
The Map Datum is used for the coordinates given in these options:
• WGS84: (Geographical 3D) - World Geodesic System 1984,
CRS Code 4327, Prime Meridian Name: Greenwich.
• NAD83/NAVD88: North American Datum 1983, CRS Code

vertical datum is the North American Vertical Datum of 1988
Map Datum (NAVD88). This datum pair is to be used when referencing
locations on land, not near tidal water (which would use Datum

Emergency Call Service
Emergency Call Service ELIN identifier data format is defined to carry the ELIN
identifier as used during emergency call setup to a traditional CAMA or ISDN trunk-
based PSAP. This format consists of a numerical digit string, corresponding to the ELIN
to be used for emergency calling.

Policies
Network Policy Discovery enables the efficient discovery and diagnosis of mismatch
issues with the VLAN configuration, along with the associated Layer 2 and Layer 3
attributes, which apply for a set of specific protocol applications on that port. Improper
network policy configurations are a very significant issue in VoIP environments that
frequently result in voice quality degradation or loss of service.
Policies are only intended for use with applications that have specific ‘real-time’
network policy requirements, such as interactive voice and/or video services.
The network policy attributes advertised are:
1. Layer 2 VLAN ID (IEEE 802.1Q-2003)
2. Layer 2 priority value (IEEE 802.1D-2004)
3. Layer 3 Diffserv code point (DSCP) value (IETF RFC 2474)
This network policy is potentially advertised and associated with multiple sets of
application types supported on a given port. The application types specifically
addressed are:
1. Voice
2. Guest Voice
3. Softphone Voice
4. Video Conferencing
5. Streaming Video
6. Control / Signalling (conditionally support a separate network policy for the
media types above)
A large network may support multiple VoIP policies across the entire organization, and
different policies per application type. LLDP-MED allows multiple policies to be
advertised per port, each corresponding to a different application type. Different ports
on the same Network Connectivity Device may advertise different sets of policies,
based on the authenticated user identity or port configuration.
It should be noted that LLDP-MED is not intended to run on links other than between
Network Connectivity Devices and Endpoints, and therefore does not need to advertise
the multitude of network policies that frequently run on an aggregated link interior to
the LAN.

Setting Description
Delete Check to delete the policy. It will be deleted during the next save.
ID for the policy. This is auto generated and shall be used when
Policy ID
selecting the policies that shall be mapped to the specific interfaces.
Intended use of the application types:
1. Voice - for use by dedicated IP Telephony handsets and other
similar appliances supporting interactive voice services. These
devices are typically deployed on a separate VLAN for ease of
deployment and enhanced security by isolation from data
applications.
2. Voice Signalling (conditional) - for use in network topologies
that require a different policy for the voice signalling than for
the voice media. This application type should not be advertised
if all the same network policies apply as those advertised in the
Voice application policy.
3. Guest Voice - support a separate ‘limited feature-set’ voice
service for guest users and visitors with their own IP Telephony
handsets and other similar appliances supporting interactive
voice services.
4. Guest Voice Signalling (conditional) - for use in network
Application topologies that require a different policy for the guest voice
Type signalling than for the guest voice media. This application type
should not be advertised if all the same network policies apply
as those advertised in the Guest Voice application policy.
5. Softphone Voice - for use by softphone applications on typical
data centric devices, such as PCs or laptops. This class of
endpoints frequently does not support multiple VLANs, if at all,
and are typically configured to use an ‘untagged’ VLAN or a
single ‘tagged’ data specific VLAN. When a network policy is
defined for use with an ‘untagged’ VLAN (see Tagged flag
below), then the L2 priority field is ignored and only the DSCP
value has relevance.
6. Video Conferencing - for use by dedicated Video Conferencing
equipment and other similar appliances supporting real-time
interactive video/audio services.
7. Streaming Video - for use by broadcast or multicast based
video content distribution and other similar applications
supporting streaming video services that require specific
[139]
 network policy treatment. Video applications relying on TCP with
buffering would not be an intended use of this application type.
8. Video Signalling (conditional) - for use in network topologies
that require a separate policy for the video signalling than for
the video media. This application type should not be advertised
if all the same network policies apply as those advertised in the
Video Conferencing application policy.
Tag indicating whether the specified application type is using a
'tagged' or an 'untagged' VLAN.
Untagged indicates that the device is using an untagged frame
format and as such does not include a tag header as defined by IEEE
802.1Q-2003. In this case, both the VLAN ID and the Layer 2 priority
fields are ignored and only the DSCP value has relevance.
Tag
Tagged indicates that the device is using the IEEE 802.1Q tagged
frame format, and that both the VLAN ID and the Layer 2 priority
values are being used, as well as the DSCP value. The tagged format
includes an additional field, known as the tag header. The tagged
frame format also includes priority tagged frames as defined by IEEE
802.1Q-2003.
VLAN identifier (VID) for the interface as defined in IEEE 802.1Q-
VLAN ID
2003.
L2 Priority is the Layer 2 priority to be used for the specified
application type. L2 Priority may specify one of eight priority levels (0
L2 Priority
through 7), as defined by IEEE 802.1D-2004. A value of 0 represents
use of the default priority as defined in IEEE 802.1D-2004.
DSCP value to be used to provide Diffserv node behaviour for the
specified application type as defined in IETF RFC 2474. DSCP may
DSCP
contain one of 64 code point values (0 through 63). A value of 0
represents use of the default DSCP value as defined in RFC 2475.

Configuration > PoE > Power Budget

Power Over Ethernet Configuration

Setting Description
There are three modes for configuring how the ports/PDsmay reserve
power.
1. Allocated mode: In this mode the user allocates the amount of
power that each port may reserve. The allocated/reserved
power for each port/PD is specified in the Maximum Power
fields.
2. Class mode: In this mode each port automatically determines
how much power to reserve according to the class the
Reserved connected PD belongs to, and reserves the power accordingly.
Power Four different port classes exist and one for 4, 7, 15.4 or 30
determined Watts.
by In this mode the Maximum Power fields have no effect.
3. LLDP-MED mode: This mode is similar to the Class mode
expect that each port determine the amount power it reserves
by exchanging PoE information using the LLDP protocol and
reserves power accordingly. If no LLDP information is available
for a port, the port will reserve power using the class mode.
In this mode the Maximum Power fields have no effect
For all modes: If a port uses more power than the reserved power
for the port, the port is shut down.
There are 2 modes for configuring when to shut down the ports:
1. Actual Consumption: In this mode the ports are shut down
when the actual power consumption for all ports exceeds the
amount of power that the power supply can deliver or if the
actual power consumption for a given port exceeds the reserved
Power power for that port. The ports are shut down according to the
Manageme ports priority. If two ports have the same priority the port with
nt Mode the highest port number is shut down.
2. Reserved Power: In this mode the ports are shut down when
total reserved powered exceeds the amount of power that the
power supply can deliver. In this mode the port power is not
turned on if the PD requests more power than available from the
power supply.

[141]
PoE Power Supply Configuration

The Priority represents the ports priority. There are three levels of
power priority named Low, High and Critical.
Priority
The priority is used in the case where the remote devices requires
more power than the power supply can deliver. In this case the port
[142]
 with the lowest priority will be turn off starting from the port with the
highest port number.

Selection of LBM PDU transmitted unicast or multi-cast. The unicast
Cast MAC will be configured through 'Peer MEP' or 'Unicast Peer MAC'. To-
wards MIP only unicast Loop Back is possible.
This is only used if the 'Unicast MAC' is configured to all zero. The LBM
Peer MEP unicast MAC will be taken from the 'Unicast Peer MAC' configuration of
this peer.
This is only used if NOT configured to all zero. This will be used as the
Unicast
LBM PDU unicast MAC. This is the only way to configure Loop Back to-
MAC
wards a MIP.
The number of LBM PDU to send in one loop test. The value 0 indicate
To Send infinite transmission (test behaviour). This is HW based LBM/LBR and
Requires VOE.
The LBM frame size. This is entered as the wanted size (in bytes) of a
un-tagged frame containing LBM OAM PDU - including CRC (four
bytes).
Example when 'Size' = 64=> Un-tagged frame size = DMAC(6) +
SMAC(6) + TYPE(2) + LBM PDU LENGTH(46) + CRC(4) = 64 bytes
The transmitted frame will be four bytes longer for each tag added - 8
Size bytes in case of a tunnel EVC.
There are two frame MAX sizes to consider.
• Switch RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
accepted on the switch port of 9600 Bytes
• CPU RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
possible to copy to CPU of 1526 Bytes

[153]
 Consider that the Peer MEP must be able to handle the selected frame
size. Consider that In case of SW based MEP, the received LBR PDU
must be copied to CPU.
Warning will be given if selected frame size exceeds the CPU RX frame
MAX size Frame.
MIN Size is 64 Bytes.
The interval between transmitting LBM PDU. In 10ms. in case 'To
Interval Send' != 0 (max 100 - '0' is as fast as possible) In 1us. in case 'To

[155]
Test Signal

Setting Description
Enable Test Signal based on transmitting TST PDU can be enabled/disabled.
DEI The DEI to be inserted as PCP bits in TAG (if any).
Priority The priority to be inserted as PCP bits in TAG (if any).
The TST frame destination MAC will be taken from the 'Unicast Peer
Peer MEP
MAC' configuration of this peer.
The TST frame transmission bit rate - in Mega bits pr. second. Limit is
400 Mbps. This is the bit rate of a standard frame without any
Rate
encapsulation. If 1 Mbps rate is selected in a EVC MEP, the added tag
will give a higher bitrate on the wire.
The TST frame size. This is entered as the wanted size (in bytes) of a
un-tagged frame containing TST OAM PDU - including CRC (four bytes).
Example when 'Size' = 64=> Un-tagged frame size = DMAC(6) +
SMAC(6) + TYPE(2) + TST PDU LENGTH(46) + CRC(4) = 64 bytes
The transmitted frame will be four bytes longer for each tag added - 8
bytes in case of a tunnel EVC.
There are two frame MAX sizes to consider.
• Switch RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
Size accepted on the switch port of 9600 Bytes
• CPU RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
possible to copy to CPU of 1526 Bytes
Consider that the Peer MEP must be able to handle the selected frame
size. Consider that in order to calculate the 'RX rate' a received TST PDU
must be copied to CPU.
Warning will be given if selected frame size exceeds the CPU RX frame
MAX size.
Frame MIN Size is 64 Bytes.
The 'empty' TST PDU has the size of 12 bytes. In order to achieve the
configured frame size a data TLV will be added with a pattern.
Example when 'Size' = 64=> Un-tagged frame size = DMAC(6) +
SMAC(6) + TYPE(2) + TST PDU LENGTH(46) + CRC(4) = 64 bytes
Pattern The TST PDU needs to be 46 bytes so a pattern of 46-12=34 bytes will
be added.
All Zero: Pattern will be '00000000'
All One: Pattern will be '11111111'
10101010: Pattern will be '10101010'

(in bytes) of a un-tagged frame containing LM OAM PDU - including
CRC (four bytes).
Example when 'Size' = 64=> Un-tagged frame size = DMAC(6) +
SMAC(6) + TYPE(2) + LBM PDU LENGTH(46) + CRC(4) = 64 bytes
The transmitted frame will be four bytes longer for each tag added - 8
bytes in case of a tunnel EVC.
There are two frame MAX sizes to consider.
Size • Switch RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
accepted on the switch port of Bytes
• CPU RX frame MAX size: The MAX frame size (all inclusive)
possible to copy to CPU of Bytes
Consider that the Peer MEP must be able to handle the selected frame
size. Consider that the received SLR PDU must be copied to CPU.
Warning will be given if selected frame size exceeds the CPU RX frame
MAX size.
Frame MIN Size is 64 Bytes.
Synthetic Synthetic frame LM is enable. This is SLM/SLR/1SL PDU based LM.
Single: Single ended Loss Measurement implemented on LMM/LMR or
SLM/SLR.
Ended
Dual: Dual ended Loss Measurement implemented on SW based CCM
or 1SL.
FLR This is the interval in number of measurement intervals where the
Interval interval Frame Loss Ratio is calculated.
This is the 'synthetic' LM measurement interval in milliseconds. This
must be a whole number of the LM PDU transmission interval (inverse
'Rate'). This is the interval in time where the loss and FLR is calculated
based on the counted number of SL OAM PDUs. It is in this interval that
Meas the calculated FLR is checked against availability, high loss and
Interval degraded FLR threshold.
example: 'Rate' = 100f/sec => 'Meas Interval' = N*10 milliseconds.
example: 'Rate' = 10f/sec => 'Meas Interval' = N*100 milliseconds.
In case of service frame based LM this attribute is not used and the
measurement interval is always the LM PDU transmission interval.

Configuration > VLANs
This page allows for controlling VLAN configuration on the switch.
The page is divided into a global section and a per-port configuration section.

Global VLAN Configuration

Setting Description
This field shows the allowed Access VLANs, i.e. it only
affects ports configured as Access ports. Ports in other
modes are members of the VLANs specified in the Allowed
VLANs field. By default, only VLAN 1 is enabled. More VLANs
may be created by using a list syntax where the individual
Allowed Access
elements are separated by commas. Ranges are specified
VLANs
with a dash separating the lower and upper bound.
The following example will create VLANs 1, 10, 11, 12, 13,
200, and 300:
1,10-13,200,300. Spaces are allowed in between the
delimiters.
This field specifies the ethertype/TPID (specified in
Ethertype for
hexadecimal) used for Custom S-ports. The setting is in
Custom S-ports
force for all ports whose Port Type is set to S-Custom-Port.

Port VLAN Configuration

[175]
Setting Description
The port mode (default is Access) determines the fundamental
behavior of the port in question. A port can be in one of three modes
as described below.
Whenever a particular mode is selected, the remaining fields in that
row will be either grayed out or made changeable depending on the
mode in question.
Grayed out fields show the value that the port will get when the
mode is applied.

Access:
Access ports are normally used to connect to end stations. Dynamic
features like Voice VLAN may add the port to more VLANs behind the
scenes. Access ports have the following characteristics:
• Member of exactly one VLAN, the Port VLAN (a.k.a. Access
VLAN), which by default is 1
• Accepts untagged and C-tagged frames
• Discards all frames not classified to the Access VLAN
• On egress all frames are transmitted untagged

Trunk:
Trunk ports can carry traffic on multiple VLANs simultaneously, and
Mode are normally used to connect to other switches. Trunk ports have the
following characteristics:
• By default, a trunk port is member of all VLANs (1-4095)
• The VLANs that a trunk port is member of may be limited by
the use of Allowed VLANs
• Frames classified to a VLAN that the port is not a member of
are discarded
• By default, all frames but frames classified to the Port VLAN
(a.k.a. Native VLAN) get tagged on egress. Frames classified to
the Port VLAN do not get C-tagged on egress
• Egress tagging can be changed to tag all frames, in which case
only tagged frames are accepted on ingress

Hybrid:
Hybrid ports resemble trunk ports in many ways, but adds additional
port configuration features. In addition to the characteristics
described for trunk ports, hybrid ports have these abilities:
• Can be configured to be VLAN tag unaware, C-tag aware, S-tag
aware, or S-custom-tag aware
• Ingress filtering can be controlled
• Ingress acceptance of frames and configuration of egress
tagging can be configured independently

[176]
 Determines the ports VLAN ID (a.k.a. PVID). Allowed VLANs are in
the range 1 through 4095, default being 1.
On ingress, frames get classified to the Port VLAN if the port is
configured as VLAN unaware, the frame is untagged, or VLAN
awareness is enabled on the port, but the frame is priority tagged
Port VLAN
(VLAN ID = 0).
On egress, frames classified to the Port VLAN do not get tagged if
Egress Tagging configuration is set to untag Port VLAN.
The Port VLAN is called an “Access VLAN” for ports in Access mode
and Native VLAN for ports in Trunk or Hybrid mode.
Ports in hybrid mode allow for changing the port type, that is,
whether a frames VLAN tag is used to classify the frame on ingress to
a particular VLAN, and if so, which TPID it reacts on. Likewise, on
egress, the Port Type determines the TPID of the tag, if a tag is
required.

Unaware:
On ingress, all frames, whether carrying a VLAN tag or not, get
classified to the Port VLAN, and possible tags are not removed on
egress.

C-Port:
On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with TPID = 0x8100 get
classified to the VLAN ID embedded in the tag.
If a frame is untagged or priority tagged, the frame gets classified to
the Port VLAN. If frames must be tagged on egress, they will be
tagged with a C-tag.

S-Port:
Port Type On egress, if frames must be tagged, they will be tagged with an S-
tag.
On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with TPID = 0x88A8 get
classified to the VLAN ID embedded in the tag.
Priority-tagged frames are classified to the Port VLAN.
If the port is configured to accept Tagged Only frames (see Ingress
Acceptance below), frames without this TPID are dropped.
Notice: If the S-port is configured to accept Tagged and Untagged
frames (see Ingress Acceptance below), frames with a C-tag are
treated like frames with an S-tag.
If the S-port is configured to accept Untagged Only frames, S-tagged
frames will be discarded (except for priority S-tagged frames). C-
tagged frames are initially considered untagged and will therefore not
be discarded. Later on in the ingress classification process, they will
get classified to the VLAN embedded in the tag instead of the port
VLAN ID.

S-Custom-Port:
On egress, if frames must be tagged, they will be tagged with the
custom S-tag. On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with a TPID equal

[177]
 to the Ethertype configured for Custom-S ports get classified to the
VLAN ID embedded in the tag.
Priority-tagged frames are classified to the Port VLAN.
If the port is configured to accept Tagged Only frames (see Ingress
Acceptance below), frames without this TPID are dropped.
Notice: If the custom S-port is configured to accept Tagged and
Untagged frames (see Ingress Acceptance below), frames with a C-
tag are treated like frames with a custom S-tag.
If the Custom S-port is configured to accept Untagged Only frames,
custom S-tagged frames will be discarded (except for priority custom
S-tagged frames). C-tagged frames are initially considered untagged
and will therefore not be discarded. Later on in the ingress
classification process, they will get classified to the VLAN embedded
in the tag instead of the port VLAN ID.
Hybrid ports allow for changing ingress filtering. Access and Trunk
ports always have ingress filtering enabled.
If ingress filtering is enabled (checkbox is checked), frames classified
Ingress to a VLAN that the port is not a member of get discarded.
Filtering If ingress filtering is disabled, frames classified to a VLAN that the
port is not a member of are accepted and forwarded to the switch
engine. However, the port will never transmit frames classified to
VLANs that it is not a member of.
Hybrid ports allow for changing the type of frames that are accepted
on ingress.
Tagged and Untagged: Both tagged and untagged frames are
accepted. See Port Type for a description of when a frame is
Ingress
considered tagged.
Acceptance
Tagged Only: Only frames tagged with the corresponding Port Type
tag are accepted on ingress.
Untagged Only: Only untagged frames are accepted on ingress. See
Port Type for a description of when a frame is considered untagged.
Ports in Trunk and Hybrid mode may control the tagging of frames on
egress.
Untag Port VLAN: Frames classified to the Port VLAN are
transmitted untagged. Other frames are transmitted with the
Egress relevant tag.
Tagging Tag All: All frames, whether classified to the Port VLAN or not, are
transmitted with a tag.
Untag All: All frames, whether classified to the Port VLAN or not, are
transmitted without a tag. This option is only available for ports in
Hybrid mode.

[178]
 Ports in Trunk and Hybrid mode may control which VLANs they are
allowed to become members of. Access ports can only be member of
one VLAN, the Access VLAN.
Allowed The field’s syntax is identical to the syntax used in the Enabled
VLANs VLANs field. By default, a Trunk or Hybrid port will become member
of all VLANs, and is therefore set to 1-4095.
The field may be left empty, which means that the port will not
become member of any VLANs.
A port may be configured to never become member of one or more
VLANs. This is particularly useful when dynamic VLAN protocols like
MVRP and GVRP must be prevented from dynamically adding ports to
Forbidden VLANs.
VLANs The trick is to mark such VLANs as forbidden on the port in question.
The syntax is identical to the syntax used in the Enabled VLANs field.
By default, the field is left blank, which means that the port may
become a member of all possible VLANs.

Configuration > Private VLANs > Membership

Private VLAN Membership Configuration

The Private VLAN membership configurations for the switch can be monitored and
modified here. Private VLANs can be added or deleted here. Port members of each
Private VLAN can be added or removed here.
Private VLANs are based on the source port mask, and there are no connections to
VLANs. This means that VLAN IDs and Private VLAN IDs can be identical.
A port must be a member of both a VLAN and a Private VLAN to be able to forward
packets. By default, all ports are VLAN unaware and members of VLAN 1 and Private
VLAN 1.
A VLAN unaware port can only be a member of one VLAN, but it can be a member of
multiple Private VLANs.

Group

Protocol to Group Mapping Table

This page allows you to add new Protocol to Group Name (each protocol can be part of
only one Group) mapping entries as well as allow you to see and delete already
mapped entries for the switch.

Setting Description
To delete a Protocol to Group Name map entry, check this box. The
Delete
entry will be deleted from the switch during the next Save.
Frame Type can have one of the following values:
• Ethernet
• LLC
Frame Type • SNAP
NOTE: When changing the Frame type field, the valid value of the
following text field will vary depending on the new frame type you
selected.
Valid value that can be entered in this text field depends on the
option selected from the preceding Frame Type selection menu.
Below are the criteria for the three different Frame Types:
• Ethernet: Value in the text field when Ethernet is selected as a
Frame Type is called etype. Valid values for etype range
between 0x0600 and 0xffff
• LLC: Valid value in this case is comprised of two different sub-
values.
Value
a. DSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
b. SSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
• SNAP: Valid value in this case is also comprised of two different
sub-values.
a. OUI: OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is a
parameter in the format of xx-xx-xx where each pair (xx)
in the string is a hexadecimal value ranging between 0x00
and 0xff.

[183]
 b. PID: PID (Protocol ID). If OUI is hexadecimal 000000,
then the protocol ID is the Ethernet type (EtherType) field
value for the protocol running on top of SNAP; if OUI is an
OUI for a particular organization, the protocol ID is a
value assigned by that organization to the protocol
running on top of SNAP. In other words, if the value of
OUI field is 00-00-00 then the value of PID will be etype
(0x0600-0xffff) and if the value of OUI is other than 00-
00-00 then valid values of PID will be any value between
0x0000 and 0xffff.

Configuration > Mirroring

Mirroring & Remote Mirroring Configuration

Mirroring is a feature for switched port analyzer. The administrator can use the
Mirroring to debug network problems. The selected traffic can be mirrored or copied
on a destination port where a network analyzer can be attached to analyze the
network traffic.
Remote Mirroring is an extend function of Mirroring. It can extend the destination port
in other switch. So the administrator can analyze the network traffic on the other
switches.
If you want to get the tagged mirrored traffic, you have to set VLAN egress tagging as
Tag All on the reflector port. On the other hand, if you want to get untagged mirrored
traffic, you have to set VLAN egress tagging as Untag ALL on the reflector port.

Setting Description
Mode To Enabled/Disabled the mirror or Remote Mirroring function.
Select switch type.
• Mirror: The switch is running on mirror mode. The source
port(s) and destination port are located on this switch.
• Source: The switch is a source node for monitor flow. The
source port(s), reflector port and intermediate port(s) are
located on this switch.
Type • Intermediate: The switch is a forwarding node for monitor flow
and the switch is an option node. The object is to forward traffic
from source switch to destination switch. The intermediate ports
are located on this switch.
• Destination: The switch is an end node for monitor flow. The
destination port(s) and intermediate port(s) are located on this
switch.
The VLAN ID points out where the monitor packet will copy to. The
VLAN ID
default VLAN ID is 200.
The reflector port is a method to redirect the traffic to Remote
Mirroring VLAN. Any device connected to a port set as a reflector port
Reflector loses connectivity until the Remote Mirroring is disabled.
Port In the stacking mode, you need to select switch ID to select the
correct device. If you shut down a port, it cannot be a candidate for
reflector port.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics > Ping

ICMP Ping
This page allows you to issue ICMP PING packets to troubleshoot IP connectivity
issues.
After you press Start, ICMP packets are transmitted, and the sequence number and
round trip time are displayed upon reception of a reply. The amount of data received
inside of an IP packet of type ICMP ECHO_REPLY will always be 8 bytes more than the
requested data space(the ICMP header). The page refreshes automatically until
responses to all packets are received, or until a timeout occurs.

[213]
Diagnostics > Ping6

ICMPv6 Ping
This page allows you to issue ICMPv6 PING packets to troubleshoot IPv6 connectivity
issues.
After you press Start, ICMPv6 packets are transmitted, and the sequence number and
round trip time are displayed upon reception of a reply. The page refreshes
automatically until responses to all packets are received, or until a timeout occurs.

Diagnostics > VeriPHY

VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics

This page is used for running the VeriPHY Cable Diagnostics for 10/100 and 1G copper
ports.
Press Start to run the diagnostics. This will take approximately 5 seconds. If all ports
are selected, this can take approximately 15 seconds. When completed, the page
refreshes automatically, and you can view the cable diagnostics results in the cable
status table. Note that VeriPHY is only accurate for cables of length 7 - 140 meters.
10 and 100 Mbps ports will be linked down while running VeriPHY. Therefore, running
VeriPHY on a 10 or 100 Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop
responding until VeriPHY is complete.

Cable Status
Setting Description
Port Port number.
The status of the cable pair.
• OK - Correctly terminated pair
• Open - Open pair
• Short - Shorted pair
• Short A - Cross-pair short to pair A
• Short B - Cross-pair short to pair B
Pair
• Short C - Cross-pair short to pair C
• Short D - Cross-pair short to pair D
• Cross A - Abnormal cross-pair coupling with pair A
• Cross B - Abnormal cross-pair coupling with pair B
• Cross C - Abnormal cross-pair coupling with pair C
• Cross D - Abnormal cross-pair coupling with pair D
Length The length (in meters) of the cable pair. The resolution is 3 meters

Restart Device
You can restart the switch on this page. After restart, the switch will boot normally.
Click Yes to restart device.
Click No to return to the Port State page without restarting.

Maintenance > Factory Defaults

Factory Defaults
You can reset the configuration of the switch on this page. Only the IP configuration is
retained. The new configuration is available immediately, which means that no restart
is necessary.
Click Yes to reset the configuration to Factory Defaults.
Click No to return to the Port State page without resetting the configuration.

NOTE: Restoring factory default can also be performed by making a physical

loopback between port 1 and port 2 within the first minute from switch reboot. In
the first minute after boot, loopback packets will be transmitted at port 1. If a
loopback packet is received at port 2 the switch will do a restore to default.

Software Upload
This page facilitates an update of the firmware controlling the switch. Chick Choose
File to the location of a software image and click Upload.
After the software image is uploaded, a page announces that the firmware update is
initiated. After about a minute, the firmware is updated and the switch restarts.

WARNING:
While the firmware is being updated, Web access appears to be defunct. The front
LED flashes Green/Off with a frequency of 10 Hz while the firmware update is in
progress. Do not restart or power off the device at this time or the switch may fail
to function afterwards.

Maintenance > Software > Image Select

Software Image Selection

This page provides information about the active and alternate (backup) firmware
images in the device, and allows you to revert to the alternate image.

NOTE: In case the active firmware image is the alternate image, only the “Active
Image” table is shown. In this case, the Activate Alternate Image button is also
disabled. If the alternate image is active (due to a corruption of the primary image
or by manual intervention), uploading a new firmware image to the device will
automatically use the primary image slot and activate this. The firmware version and
date information may be empty for older firmware releases. This does not constitute
an error.

Click Activate Alternate Image to use the alternate image. This button may be
disabled depending on system state.
Click Cancel to activate the backup image. Navigates away from this page.

Maintenance > Configuration > Save startup-config

Save Running Configuration to startup-config

This copies running-config to startup-config, thereby ensuring that the currently active
configuration will be used at the next reboot.

Maintenance > Configuration > Download

Download Configuration

It is possible to download any of the files on the switch to the web browser. Select the
file and click Download Configuration.
• running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration
on the switch. This file is volatile.
• default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is
read when the system is restored to default settings.
• startup-config: The startup configuration for the switch, read at boot time. If
this file doesn’t exist at boot time, the switch will start up in default
configuration.
Download of running-config may take a little while to complete, as the file must be
prepared for download.

Upload Configuration

It is possible to upload a file from the web browser to all the files on the switch,
except default-config which is read-only.
Select the file to upload, select the destination file on the target, then click Upload
Configuration.
If the destination is running-config, the file will be applied to the switch configuration.
This can be done in two ways:
• Replace mode: The current configuration is fully replaced with the
configuration in the uploaded file.
• Merge mode: The uploaded file is merged into running-config.
If the flash file system is full (i.e. contains default-config and 32 other files, usually
including startup-config), it is not possible to create new files. Instead an existing file
must be overwritten or another file must be deleted.
