Chapter 1 Operation of Web-based Management
Initial
Configuration
IMPORTANT:
1. It is recommended to use IE10 or IE11 to open a web console with the
PoE switch.
2. This PoE switch is specifically designed for surveillance applications. It
comes with an integrated Surveillance interface for ease of
configuration. The interface is accessed through a tabbed menu, and
the configuration changes made in its window have a higher priority
than those in the Switch configuration menus.
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the switch through
the web user interface. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including
MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation
status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record
and so on.
The default values of the AW-GEV series switches are listed in the table
below:
IP Address
DHCP client
Subnet
Mask
255.255.255.0
Default
Gateway
N/A
Username
admin
Password
admin
You can find the PoE switch using VIVOTEK’s IW2 utility. If network address conflicts
occur, use this utility to locate the PoE switch.
2
If you enabled the onboard DHCP server on the PoE switch, you can browse
it. For instance, type
http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser,
it will display the following screen and ask you to enter a username and
password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username is “admin” and password is admin. For the first time
to use, please enter the default username and password, and then click the
<Login> button. The login process now is completed. In this login menu,
you have to input the complete username and password respectively, the
AW-GEV switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This
looks inconvenient, but safer.
The AW-GEV switch allows two or more users to manage the switch using
the administrator’s identity. The configuration changes made will take effect
depending on who made the last configuration change.
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the AW-GEV switch
through the web user interface. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status,
each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic,
VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.
After the AW-GEV switch has been finished configuration it interface, you can browse
it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser, it will display
the following screen and ask you inputting username and password in order to login
and access authentication.
If you double-click on the entry found on the
IW2 utility, an IE console will be opened. If
you prefer using Firefox or Google Chrome,
you can manually enter the IP address in
your browser’s URL field.
2
A startup wizard page will prompt the first time you access the switch. The first step is to
configure a password for access security.
If necessary, configure a static IP for the switch. Click Next to proceed.
2
You can then configuration the data and time setting for the switch either by assigning
a network time server or manually enter the values using the calendar.
You should enter additional information such as system contact and system location.
When done, click the Apply button.
The default username is
“admin” and password is empty. For the first time to use,
please enter the default username and password, and then click the <Login> button.
The login process now is completed. In this login menu, you have to input the
complete username and password respectively, the AW-GEV switch will not give you a
shortcut to username automatically. This looks inconvenient, but safer.
The AW-GEV switch allows two or more users using administrator’s identity to
manage this switch, which administrator to do the last setting, it will be an available
configuration to effect the system.
NOTE:
When you login the Switch WEB page to manage. You must first type the
Username of the admin. Password was blank, so when you type after the
end Username, please press enter. Management page to enter WEB.
When you login AW-GEV series switch Web UI management, you can use
both ipv4 ipv6 login to manage
To optimize the display effect, we recommend you use Microsoft IE 6.0
above, Netscape V7.1 above or Firefox V1.00 above and have the resolution
1024x768. The switch supported neutral web browser interface
NOTE:
AS AW-GEV switch the function enable dhcp, so If you do not have DHCP
server to provide ip addresses to the switch, the Switch default ip

time sync via NTP because the switch will combine this time zone offset and updated NTP time
to come out the local time, otherwise, you will not able to get the correct time. The switch
supports configurable time zone from –12 to +13 step 1 hour.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Parameter description :
Server 1 to 6:
Provide the NTP IPv4 or IPv6 address of this switch. 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 be
used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it
can only appear once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example,
'::192.1.2.34'.
Interval
You can specify the time interval in seconds after which a time check and, in case of
deviation, a resynchronization of the internal device clock against the specified timeserver
via Network Time Protocol(NTP) should be performed.

2-4.1 Syslog Configuration
The Syslog Configuration is a standard for logging program messages . It allows separation of
the software that generates messages from the system that stores them and the software that
reports and analyzes them. It can be used as well a generalized informational, analysis and
debugging messages. It is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple
platforms.
Web Interface
To configure Syslog Configuration in the web interface:
1. Click System, Log and Syslog Configuration.
2. Specify the syslog parameters include IP Address of Syslog server and Port number.
3. Evoke the Syslog to enable it.
4. Click Apply.
Figure 2-4.1: The System Log configuration
Parameter description:
Mode :
Indicate the server mode operation. When the mode operation is enabled, the syslog
message will send out to syslog server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP communication
and received on UDP port 514 and the syslog server will not send acknowledgments back
sender since UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does not provide acknowledgments.
The syslog packet will always send out even if the syslog server does not exist. Possible
modes are:
On: Enable server mode operation.
Off: Disable server mode operation.
Server 1 to 6 :
Indicates the IPv4 hosts address of syslog server. If the switch provide DNS feature, it also
can be a host name.

2-5 LLDP
The switch supports the LLDP. For current information on your switch model, The Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standards-based method for enabling switches to
advertise themselves to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP devices. The Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer protocol in the Internet Protocol
Suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a
IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired Ethernet. The protocol is formally referred to by
the IEEE as Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery specified in standards
document IEEE 802.1AB.
2-5.1 LLDP Configuration
You can per port to do the LLDP configuration and the detail parameters, the settings will take
effect immediately. This page allows the user to inspect and configure the current LLDP port
settings.
Web Interface
To configure LLDP:
1. Click System, LLDP and LLDP configuration.
2. Modify LLDP timing parameters
3. Set the required mode for transmitting or receiving LLDP messages
4. Specify the information to include in the TLV field of advertised messages
5. Click Apply
24
Figure 2-5.1: The LLDP Configuration
Parameter description:
LLDP Parameters
Tx Interval :
The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbours for having the network
discovery information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is determined by
the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.
Tx Hold :
Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in the LLDP frame
shall be considered valid. The LLDP information valid period is set to Tx Hold multiplied by
Tx Interval seconds. Valid values are restricted to 2 - 10 times.
Tx Delay :
If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new LLDP frame is transmitted, but
the time between the LLDP frames will always be at least the value of Tx Delay seconds. Tx
Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 1 -
8192 seconds.
Tx Reinit :
When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted, an LLDP shutdown
frame is transmitted to the neighboring units, signaling that the LLDP information isn't valid
anymore. Tx Reinit controls the amount of seconds between the shutdown frame and a new
LLDP initialization. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 10 seconds.
LLDP Port Configuration
The LLDP port settings relate to the currently selected, as reflected by the page header.
Port :
The switch port number of the logical LLDP port.
Mode :
Select LLDP mode.
Rx only The switch will not send out LLDP information, but LLDP information from neighbor
units is analyzed.
Tx only The switch will drop LLDP information received from neighbors, but will send out
LLDP information.
Disabled The switch will not send out LLDP information, and will drop LLDP information
received from neighbors.
Enabled the switch will send out LLDP information, and will analyze LLDP information
received from neighbors.
CDP Aware :
Select CDP awareness.
25
The CDP operation is restricted to decoding incoming CDP frames (The switch doesn't
transmit CDP frames). CDP frames are only decoded if LLDP on the port is enabled.
Only CDP TLVs that can be mapped to a corresponding field in the LLDP neighbors’ table
are decoded. All other TLVs are discarded (Unrecognized CDP TLVs and discarded CDP
frames are not shown in the LLDP statistics.). CDP TLVs are mapped onto LLDP neighbors’
table as shown below.
CDP TLV "Device ID" is mapped to the LLDP "Chassis ID" field.
CDP TLV "Address" is mapped to the LLDP "Management Address" field. The CDP address
TLV can contain multiple addresses, but only the first address is shown in the LLDP
neighbors’ table.
CDP TLV "Port ID" is mapped to the LLDP "Port ID" field.
CDP TLV "Version and Platform" is mapped to the LLDP "System Description" field.
Both the CDP and LLDP support "system capabilities", but the CDP capabilities cover
capabilities that are not part of the LLDP. These capabilities are shown as "others" in the
LLDP neighbors’ table.
If all ports have CDP awareness disabled the switch forwards CDP frames received from
neighbor devices. If at least one port has CDP awareness enabled all CDP frames are
terminated by the switch.
NOTE: When CDP awareness on a port is disabled the CDP
information isn't removed immediately, but gets when the hold time
is exceeded.
Port Descr :
Optional TLV: When checked the "port description" is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
Sys Name :
Optional TLV: When checked the "system name" is included in LLDP information transmitted.
Sys Descr :
Optional TLV: When checked the "system description" is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
Sys Capa :
Optional TLV: When checked the "system capability" is included in LLDP information
transmitted.
Mgmt Addr :
Optional TLV: When checked the "management address" is included in LLDP information
transmitted.

2-5.2 LLDP-MED Configuration
Media Endpoint Discovery is an enhancement of LLDP, known as LLDP-MED that provides the
following facilities:
Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and Differentiated services
(Diffserv) settings) enabling plug and play networking.
Device location discovery to allow creation of location databases and, in the case of Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), Enhanced 911 services.
Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet (PoE) end points.
Inventory management, allowing network administrators to track their network devices, and
determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, and serial or
asset number).
This page allows you to configure the LLDP-MED. This function applies to VoIP devices which
support LLDP-MED.
Web Interface

Figure 2-5.2: The LLDP-MED Configuration
Parameter description :
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
28
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 port. The
LLDP-MED application will temporarily speed up the transmission of the LLDPDU to start
within a second, when a new LLDP-MED neighbour has been detected in order share
LLDP-MED information as fast as possible to new neighbours.
Because there is a risk of an LLDP frame being lost during transmission between neighbours, it
is recommended to repeat the fast start transmission multiple times to increase the possibility
of the neighbours 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.

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
31
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.
Delete :
Check to delete the policy. It will be deleted during the next save.
Policy ID :
ID for the policy. This is auto generated and shall be used when selecting the polices that
shall be mapped to the specific ports.
Application Type :
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 topologies that require a
different policy for the guest voice 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 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 :
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
32
Layer 2 priority fields are ignored and only the DSCP value has relevance.
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 ID :
VLAN identifier (VID) for the port as defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2003.
L2 Priority :
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 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 :
DSCP value to be used to provide Diffserv node behaviour for the specified application type
as defined in IETF RFC 2474. DSCP may 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.
Port Policies Configuration :
Every port may advertise a unique set of network policies or different attributes for the
same network policies, based on the authenticated user identity or port configuration.
Port :
The port number to which the configuration applies.
Policy Id :
The set of policies that shall apply to a given port. The set of policies is selected by check
marking the checkboxes that corresponds to the policies.

Devices and Endpoint Devices.
LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device Definition
LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Devices, as defined in TIA-1057, provide access to the IEEE
802 based LAN infrastructure for LLDP-MED Endpoint Devices. An LLDP-MED Network
Connectivity Device is a LAN access device based on any of the following technologies:
1. LAN Switch/Router
36
2. IEEE 802.1 Bridge
3. IEEE 802.3 Repeater (included for historical reasons)
4. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access Point

LLDP-MED Endpoint Device Definition :
LLDP-MED Endpoint Devices, as defined in TIA-1057, are located at the IEEE 802 LAN
network edge, and participate in IP communication service using the LLDP-MED framework.
Within the LLDP-MED Endpoint Device category, the LLDP-MED scheme is broken into
further Endpoint Device Classes, as defined in the following.
Each LLDP-MED Endpoint Device Class is defined to build upon the capabilities defined for
the previous Endpoint Device Class. For-example will any LLDP-MED Endpoint Device
claiming compliance as a Media Endpoint (Class II) also support all aspects of TIA-1057
applicable to Generic Endpoints (Class I), and any LLDP-MED Endpoint Device claiming
compliance as a Communication Device (Class III) will also support all aspects of TIA-1057
applicable to both Media Endpoints (Class II) and Generic Endpoints (Class I).
LLDP-MED Generic Endpoint (Class I) :
The LLDP-MED Generic Endpoint (Class I) definition is applicable to all endpoint products
that require the base LLDP discovery services defined in TIA-1057, however do not support
IP media or act as an end-user communication appliance. Such devices may include (but are
not limited to) IP Communication Controllers, other communication related servers, or any
device requiring basic services as defined in TIA-1057.
Discovery services defined in this class include LAN configuration, device location, network
policy, power management, and inventory management.
LLDP-MED Media Endpoint (Class II) :
The LLDP-MED Media Endpoint (Class II) definition is applicable to all endpoint products
that have IP media capabilities however may or may not be associated with a particular end
user. Capabilities include all of the capabilities defined for the previous Generic Endpoint
Class (Class I), and are extended to include aspects related to media streaming. Example
product categories expected to adhere to this class include (but are not limited to) Voice /
Media Gateways, Conference Bridges, Media Servers, and similar.
Discovery services defined in this class include media-type-specific network layer policy
discovery.
LLDP-MED Communication Endpoint (Class III) :
The LLDP-MED Communication Endpoint (Class III) definition is applicable to all endpoint
products that act as end user communication appliances supporting IP media. Capabilities
include all of the capabilities defined for the previous Generic Endpoint (Class I) and Media
Endpoint (Class II) classes, and are extended to include aspects related to end user devices.
Example product categories expected to adhere to this class include (but are not limited to)
end user communication appliances, such as IP Phones, PC-based softphones, or other
communication appliances that directly support the end user.
Discovery services defined in this class include provision of location identifier (including ECS
/ E911 information), embedded L2 switch support, inventory management.
LLDP-MED Capabilities :
LLDP-MED Capabilities describes the neighborhood unit's LLDP-MED capabilities. The
possible capabilities are:
1. LLDP-MED capabilities
37
2. Network Policy
3. Location Identification

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 network
policy treatment. Video applications relying on TCP with buffering would not be an intended
use of this application type.
8. Video Signalling - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for the
video signalling than for the video media.

device is using priority tagged frames as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003, meaning that only
the IEEE 802.1D priority level is significant and the default PVID of the ingress port is used
instead.
Priority :
Priority is the Layer 2 priority to be used for the specified application type. One of the eight
priority levels (0 through 7).
DSCP :
DSCP is the DSCP value to be used to provide Diffserv node behavior for the specified
application type as defined in IETF RFC 2474. Contain one of 64 code point values (0

Local Counters
The displayed table contains a row for each port. The columns hold the following information:
Local Port :
The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.
Tx Frames :
The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.
Rx Frames :
The number of LLDP frames received on the port.
Rx Errors :
The number of received LLDP frames containing some kind of error.
Frames Discarded :
If an LLDP frame is received on a port, and the switch's internal table has run full, the LLDP
frame is counted and discarded. This situation is known as "Too Many Neighbours" in the
LLDP standard. LLDP frames require a new entry in the table when the Chassis ID or Remote
Port ID is not already contained within the table. Entries are removed from the table when a
given port's link is down, an LLDP shutdown frame is received, or when the entry ages out.
TLVs Discarded :
Each LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information, known as TLVs (TLV is short for
"Type Length Value"). If a TLV is malformed, it is counted and discarded.
TLVs Unrecognized :
The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.
Org. Discarded :
The number of organizationally received TLVs.
Age-Outs :
Each LLDP frame contains information about how long time the LLDP information is valid
(age-out time). If no new LLDP frame is received within the age out time, the LLDP
information is removed, and the Age-Out counter is incremented.

When the mode is enabled, two ACEs are added automatically to trap UPNP related packets
to CPU. The ACEs are automatically removed when the mode is disabled. .
TTL :
The TTL value is used by UPnP to send SSDP advertisement messages. Valid values are in the
range 1 to 255.
Advertising Duration :
The duration, carried in SSDP packets, is used to inform a control point or control points
how often it or they should receive an SSDP advertisement message from this switch. If a
control point does not receive any message within the duration, it will think that the switch
no longer exists. Due to the unreliable nature of UDP, in the standard it is recommended
that such refreshing of advertisements to be done at less than one-half of the advertising
duration. In the implementation, the switch sends SSDP messages periodically at the interval
one-half of the advertising duration minus 30 seconds. Valid values are in the range 100 to
42
86400.

3-4 Energy Efficient Ethernet
EEE is an abbreviation for Energy Efficient Ethernet defined in IEEE 802.3az.
This page allows the user to inspect and configure the current EEE port settings.
EEE is a power saving option that reduces the power usage when there is very low traffic
utilization (or no traffic).
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 information about the devices wakeup time using
the LLDP protocol.

To assign a specific VLAN for management purpose. The management VLAN is used to
establish an IP connection to the switch from a workstation connected to a port in the VLAN.
This connection supports a VSM and SNMP session. By default, the active management VLAN
is VLAN 1, but you can designate any VLAN as the management VLAN using the
Management VLAN window. Only one management VLAN can be active at a time.
When you specify a new management VLAN, your HTTP connection to the old management
VLAN is lost. For this reason, you should have a connection between your management station
and a port in the new management VLAN or connect to the new management VLAN through a
multi-VLAN route.
Web Interface
To configure VLAN membership configuration in the web interface:
1. Click VLAN Management and VLAN Configuration.
2. Specify Existing VLANs, Ether type for Custom S-ports.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 5-1: The VLAN Configuration
Parameter description:
Global VLAN Configuration
Allowed Access VLANs :
This field shows the VLANs that are created on the switch.
By default, only VLAN 1 exists. More VLANs may be created by using a list syntax where the
69
individual elements are separated by commas. Ranges are specified 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.
Ethertype for Custom S-ports :
This field specifies the ethertype/TPID (specified in hexadecimal) used for Custom S-ports.
The setting is in force for all ports whose Port Type is set to S-Custom-Port.
Port VLAN Configuration
Port :
This is the logical port number of this row.
Mode :
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 frames and C-tagged frames,
• discards all frames that are not classified to the Access VLAN,
• on egress all frames are transmitted untagged.
Trunk:
Trunk ports can carry traffic on multiple VLANs simultaneously, and are normally used to connect to
other switches. Trunk ports have the following characteristics:
• By default, a trunk port is member of all existing VLANs. This may be limited by the use of Allowed
VLANs,
• unless VLAN Trunking is enabled on the port, frames classified to a VLAN that the port is not a
member of will be 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,
• VLAN trunking may be enabled.
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.
Port VLAN :
Determines the port's 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 (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.
Port Type :
70
Ports in hybrid mode allow for changing the port type, that is, whether a frame's 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:
On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with TPID = 0x8100 or 0x88A8 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 an S-tag.
S-Custom-Port:
On ingress, frames with a VLAN tag with a TPID = 0x8100 or equal to the Ethertype configured for
Custom-S ports 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 the custom S-tag.
Ingress Filtering :
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 to a VLAN that the port is not a
member of get discarded.
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.
VLAN Trunking :
Trunk and Hybrid ports allow for enabling VLAN trunking.
When VLAN trunking is enabled, frames classified to unknown VLANs are accepted on the port
whether ingress filtering is enabled or not.
This is useful in scenarios where a cloud of intermediary switches must bridge VLANs that haven't
been created. By configuring the ports that connect the cloud of switches as trunking ports, they can
seemlessly carry those VLANs from one end to the other.
Ingress Acceptance :
Hybrid ports allow for changing the type of frames that are accepted on ingress.
Tagged and untagged
both tagged and untagged frames are accepted.
Tagged Only
Only tagged frames are accepted on ingress. Untagged frames are discarded.
Untagged Only
Only untagged frames are accepted on ingress. Tagged frames are discarded.
Egress Tagging :
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
relevant tag.
Tag All
All frames, whether classified to the Port VLAN or not, are transmitted with a tag.
71
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.
Allowed VLANs :
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.
The field's syntax is identical to the syntax used in the Existing VLANs field. By default, a port may
become member of all possible VLANs, and is therefore set to 1-4095.
The field may be left empty, which means that the port will not be member of any of the existing
VLANs, but if it is configured for VLAN Trunking it will still be able to carry all unknown VLANs.

Chapter 7 Spanning tree
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to
provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact
with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network
to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide
backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
STP - STP uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device (STP- compliant switch,
bridge or router) that serves as the root of the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on
each bridging device (except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when
forwarding a packet from that device to the root device. Then it selects a designated bridging
device from each LAN which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that
LAN to the root device. All ports connected to designated bridging devices are assigned as
designated ports. After determining the lowest cost spanning tree, it enables all root ports and
designated ports, and disables all other ports. Network packets are therefore only forwarded
between root ports and designated ports, eliminating any possible network loops.

(Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the Root Bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello
BPDU after a predefined interval (Maximum Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the Root
Bridge is down. This bridge will then initiate negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the
network to reestablish a valid network topology.

Chapter 8 MAC Address Tables
8-1Configuration
Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds
up a table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames
should go to (based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This table contains both static and
dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by the network administrator if the
administrator wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address), which shows the MAC address of the
equipment sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically
update the MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed from
the MAC table if no frame with the corresponding SMAC address have been seen after a
configurable age time
Web Interface
To configure MAC Address Table in the web interface:
1. Click MAC Address Tables and Configuration.
2. Specify the Disable Automatic Aging and Aging Time.
3. Specify the Port Members (Auto, Disable, Secure).
4. Add new Static entry, Specify the VLAN IP and Mac address, Port Members, Block.
5. Click Apply.
103
Figure 8-1: The MAC Address Table Configuration
Parameter description:
Aging Configuration :
By default, dynamic entries are removed from the MAC table after 300 seconds. This
removal is also called aging.
Configure aging time by entering a value here in seconds; for example, Age time seconds.
The allowed range is 10 to 1000000 seconds.
Disable the automatic aging of dynamic entries by checking
Disable automatic aging.
MAC Table Learning
If the learning mode for a given port is greyed out, another module is in control of the
mode, so that it cannot be changed by the user. An example of such a module is the
MAC-Based Authentication under 802.1X. Each port can do learning based upon the
following settings:
Auto :
Learning is done automatically as soon as a frame with unknown SMAC is received.
Disable :
No learning is done.
Secure :
Only static MAC entries are learned, all other frames are dropped.
NOTE: Make sure that the link used for managing the switch is
added to the Static Mac Table before changing to secure learning
mode, otherwise the management link is lost and can only be
restored by using another non-secure port or by connecting to the
switch via the serial interface.
Static MAC Table Configuration
The static entries in the MAC table are shown in this table. The static MAC table can contain
64 entries. The maximum of 64 entries is for the whole stack, and not per switch.

Chapter 9 Multicast
9-1 IGMP Snooping
The function, is used to establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the
member ports, and, in nature, avoids wasting the bandwidth while IP multicast packets are
running over the network. This is because a switch that does not support IGMP or IGMP
Snooping cannot tell the multicast packet from the broadcast packet, so it can only treat them
all as the broadcast packet. Without IGMP Snooping, the multicast packet forwarding function
is plain and nothing is different from broadcast packet.
A switch supported IGMP Snooping with the functions of query, report and leave, a type of
packet exchanged between IP Multicast Router/Switch and IP Multicast Host, can update the
information of the Multicast table when a member (port) joins or leaves an IP Multicast
Destination Address. With this function, once a switch receives an IP multicast packet, it will
forward the packet to the members who joined in a specified IP multicast group before.
The packets will be discarded by the IGMP Snooping if the user transmits multicast packets to
the multicast group that had not been built up in advance. IGMP mode enables the switch to
issue IGMP function that you enable IGMP proxy or snooping on the switch, which connects to
a router closer to the root of the tree. This interface is the upstream interface. The router on
the upstream interface should be running IGMP.

Figure 10-2.1: The IEEE 802.1X Configuration
Parameter description:
System Configuration
Mode :
on or off.
Indicates if IEEE 802.1X is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all
ports are allowed forwarding of frames.
Reauthentication Enabled :
If checked, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are reauthenticated after the
123
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 switch port or if a supplicant is no
longer attached.
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).
Reauthentication Period :
Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client must be reauthenticated.
This is only active if the Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is checked. Valid values are in
the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
EAPOL Timeout :
Determines the time for retransmission of Request Identity EAPOL frames.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 255 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based ports.
Port Configuration
Port :
The port number for which the configuration below applies.
Admin State :
If 802.1X is globally enabled, this selection controls the port's authentication mode. The
following modes are available:
Force Authorized:
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Success frame when the port link comes up,
and any client on the port will be allowed network access without authentication.
Force Unauthorized:
In this mode, the switch will send one EAPOL Failure frame when the port link comes up,
and any client on the port will be disallowed network access.
Port-based 802.1X:
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 forwards it.
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
124
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.
Port State :
The current state of the port. It can undertake one of the following values:
Globally Disabled: IEEE 802.1X is globally disabled.
Link Down: IEEE 802.1X 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.

10-3 Port Security
10-3.1 Configuration
This section shows you to configure the Port Security settings of the Switch. You can use the
Port Security feature to restrict input to an interface by limiting and identifying MAC addresses.
Web Interface
To configure a Port Security Configuration in the web interface:
1. Click Security, Port Security and Configuration.
2. Select “Enabled” in the Mode of System Configuration.
3. Set Mode(Enabled, Disabled), Limit, Action (Trap, Shutdown, Trap & Shutdown) for each
port.
4. Click the Apply to save the setting.
5. If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the Reset button. It will revert to
previously saved values.
Figure 10-3.1: The Port Security Configuration
Parameter description:
System Configuration
Mode :
Indicates if Limit Control is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled,
other modules may still use the underlying functionality, but limit checks and corresponding
actions are disabled.
Port Configuration
The table has one row for each port on the selected switch and a number of columns, which
are:
Port :
The port number to which the configuration below applies.
Mode :
Controls whether Limit Control is enabled on this port. Both this and the Global Mode must
128
be set to Enabled for Limit Control to be in effect. Notice that other modules may still use
the underlying port security features without enabling Limit Control on a given port.
Limit :
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 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.
Action :
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 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.
State :
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 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 shut down or Trap & Shutdown.
Re-open Button :
If a port is shut down by this module, you may reopen it by clicking this button, which will
only be enabled if this is the case. For other methods, refer to shut down in the Action
section.
NOTE: That clicking the reopen button causes the page to be
refreshed, so non-committed changes will be lost

10-3.2 Status
This section shows the Port Security status. Port Security is a module with no direct
configuration. Configuration comes indirectly from other modules - the user modules. When a
user module has enabled port security on a port, the port is set-up for software-based learning.
In this mode, frames from unknown MAC addresses are passed on to the port security module,
which in turn asks all user modules whether to allow this new MAC address to forward or block
it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding state, all enabled user modules must
unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to forward. If only one chooses to block it, it
will be blocked until that user module decides otherwise. The status page is divided into two
sections - one with a legend of user modules and one with the actual port status.
Web Interface
To displays a Port Security Status in the web interface:
1. Click Security, Port Security and status.
2. Checked “Auto-refresh”.
3. Click “Refresh” to refresh the port detailed statistics.
4. Click the port number to see the status for this particular port.
Figure 10-3.2: The Port Security Status
Parameter description:
Port :
The port number for which the status applies.
State :
Shows the current state of the port. It can take one of four values:
Disabled: No user modules are currently using the Port Security service.
Ready: The Port Security service is in use by at least one user module, and is awaiting
frames from unknown MAC addresses to arrive.
Limit Reached: The Port Security service is enabled by at least the Limit Control user
module, and that module has indicated that the limit is reached and no more MAC
addresses should be taken in.
Shutdown: The Port Security service is enabled by at least the Limit Control user module,
and that module has indicated that the limit is exceeded. No MAC addresses can be learned
on the port until it is administratively re-opened on the Limit Control configuration
131
Web-page.
MAC Count (Current, Limit) :
The two columns indicate the number of currently learned MAC addresses (forwarding as
well as blocked) and the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned on the
port, respectively.
If no user modules are enabled on the port, the Current column will show a dash (-).

12-1 Configuration
The switch stores its configuration in a number of text files in CLI format. The files are either
virtual (RAM-based) or stored in flash on the switch.
There are three system files:
running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration on the
switch. This file is volatile.
startup-config: The startup configuration for the switch, read at boot time.
default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is read when
the system is restored to default settings.
It is also possible to store up to two other files and apply them to running-config, thereby
switching configuration.

chapter for details. VLAN ID is the VLAN identifier (VID) for the port as defined in
IEEE 802.1Q-2003. A value of 1 through 4094 is used to define a valid VLAN ID. A
value of 0 (Priority Tagged) is used if the device is using priority tagged frames as
defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003, meaning that only the IEEE 802.1D priority level is
significant and the default PVID of the ingress port is used instead.
Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUI) are the first three bytes of a MAC Address,
while the last three bytes contain a unique station ID. You can add a specific
manufacturer with the OUI. Enter the first 3 octets as the hexadecimal xx-xx-xx to
