Chapter 1 Operation of Web-based Management

Initial Configuration

IMPORTANT:

1. It is recommended to use Edge or Chrome 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

Username

admin

Password

admin

You can find the PoE switch using VIVOTEKs Shepherd utility. If network address conflicts occur, use this utility to locate the PoE switch.

Figure 1: The login page

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 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 administrators identity. The configuration changes made will take effect depending on who made the last configuration change.

If you double-click on the entry found on the Shepherd utility, an IE console will be opened. If you prefer using Firefox or Google Chrome, you can manually enter the IP address in your browsers URL field.

Figure 3-3: The SNTP configuration

NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time based Greenwich Mean

Time (GMT). If use the NTP mode and select a built-in NTP time server or manually specify an

user-defined NTP server as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short after

pressing button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does not update

the time periodically without users processing.

Time Zone is an offset time of GMT. You have to select the time zone first and then perform

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 :

3-5 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.

3-5.1 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

23

Figure 3-5.1: 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 :

24

Select CDP awareness.

The CDP operation is restricted to decode 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.

3-5.2 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

26

Figure 3-5.2: 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

27

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.

Coordinates Location

Latitude :

Latitude SHOULD be normalized to within 0-90 degrees with a maximum of 4 digits.

It is possible to specify the direction to either North of the equator or South of the equator.

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

30

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.

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.

31

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.

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.

Parameter description

Port :

The port on which the LLDP frame was received.

Device Type :

LLDP-MED Devices are comprised of two primary Device Types: Network Connectivity

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

35

2. IEEE 802.1 Bridge

3. IEEE 802.3 Repeater (included for historical reasons)

4. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access Point

5. Any device that supports the IEEE 802.1AB and MED extensions defined by TIA-1057 and

can relay IEEE 802 frames via any method.

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

signalling than for the video media.

Policy :

Policy indicates that an Endpoint Device wants to explicitly advertise that the policy is

required by the device. Can be either Defined or Unknown

Unknown: The network policy for the specified application type is currently unknown.

Defined: The network policy is defined.

TAG :

TAG is indicative of whether the specified application type is using a tagged or an untagged

VLAN. Can be Tagged or Untagged.

Untagged: The device is using an untagged frame format and as such does not include a tag

header as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003.

Tagged: The device is using the IEEE 802.1Q tagged frame format.

VLAN ID :

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

37

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 through

63).

Auto-negotiation

Auto-negotiation identifies if MAC/PHY auto-negotiation is supported by the link partner.

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.

Interface VLAN :

Configure the interface VLAN that is used by UPnP. Allowed VLAN are in the range 1 through

4095, default being 1.

TTL :

The TTL value is used by UPnP to send SSDP advertisement messages. Valid values are in the

range 1 to 255.

41

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 86400.

4-4 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.

Chapter 6 VLAN Management

6-1 VLAN Configuration

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, SNMP, and Telnet 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 6-1: The VLAN Configuration

Parameter description:

Global VLAN Configuration

Allowed Access VLANs :

This field shows the VLANs that are created on the switch.

72

By default, only VLAN 1 exists. More VLANs may be created by using a list syntax where the

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,

73

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 :

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.

74

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.

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.

6-5 MAC-based VLAN

6-5.1 Configuration

MAC address-based VLAN decides the VLAN for forwarding an untagged frame based on the

source MAC address of the frame.

A most common way of grouping VLAN members is by port, hence the name port-based VLAN.

Typically, the device adds the same VLAN tag to untagged packets that are received through

the same port. Later on, these packets can be forwarded in the same VLAN. Port-based VLAN

is easy to configure, and applies to networks where the locations of terminal devices are

relatively fixed. As mobile office and wireless network access gain more popularity, the ports

that terminal devices use to access the networks are very often non-fixed. A device may access

a network through Port A this time, but through Port B the next time. If Port A and Port B belong

to different VLANs, the device will be assigned to a different VLAN the next time it accesses the

network. As a result, it will not be able to use the resources in the old VLAN. On the other hand,

if Port A and Port B belong to the same VLAN, after terminal devices access the network through

Port B, they will have access to the same resources as those accessing the network through Port

A do, which brings security issues. To provide user access and ensure data security in the

meantime, the MAC-based VLAN technology is developed.

MAC-based VLANs group VLAN members by MAC address. With MAC-based VLAN configured,

the device adds a VLAN tag to an untagged frame according to its source MAC address. MAC-

based VLANs are mostly used in conjunction with security technologies such as 802.1X to

provide secure, flexible network access for terminal devices.

6-6 Protocol-based VLAN

This section describe Protocol -based VLAN, The Switch support Protocol include Ethernet LLC

SNAP Protocol,

LLC

The Logical Link Control (LLC) data communication protocol layer is the upper sub-layer of the

Data Link Layer (which is itself layer 2, just above the Physical Layer) in the seven-layer OSI

reference model. It provides multiplexing mechanisms that make it possible for several network

protocols (IP, IPX, Decent and Appletalk) to coexist within a multipoint network and to be

transported over the same network media, and can also provide flow control and automatic

repeat request (ARQ) error management mechanisms.

SNAP

The Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) is a mechanism for multiplexing, on networks using

IEEE 802.2 LLC, more protocols than can be distinguished by the 8-bit 802.2 Service Access Point

(SAP) fields. SNAP supports identifying protocols by Ethernet type field values; it also supports

vendor-private protocol identifier spaces. It is used with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.4, IEEE 802.5, IEEE

802.11 and other IEEE 802 physical network layers, as well as with non-IEEE 802 physical network

layers such as FDDI that use 802.2 LLC.

6-6.1 Protocol to Group

This page allows you to add new protocols to Group Name (unique for each Group) mapping

1. Click VLAN Management, Protocol-based VLAN and Protocol to Group.

2. Click Add New Entry.

3. Specify the Ethernet LLC SNAP Protocol, Value and Group Name.

4. Click Apply.

Figure 6-6.1: The Protocol to Group Mapping Table

Parameter description:

Frame Type :

Frame Type can have one of the following values:

85

1. Ethernet

2. LLC

3. SNAP

NOTE: On changing the Frame type field, valid value of the following

text field will vary depending on the new frame type you selected.

Value :

Valid value that can be entered in this text field depends on the option selected from the the

preceding Frame Type selection menu.

Below is the criteria for three different Frame Types:

1. For Ethernet: Values in the text field when Ethernet is selected as a Frame Type is

called etype. Valid values for etype ranges from 0x0600-0xffff

2. For LLC: Valid value in this case is comprised of two different sub-values.

a. DSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)

b. SSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)

3. For SNAP: Valid value in this case also is comprised of two different sub-values.

a.OUI: OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is value in format of xx-xx-xx where

each pair (xx) in string is a hexadecimal value ranges from 0x00-0xff.

b. PID: If the OUI is hexadecimal 000000, the protocol ID is the Ethernet type

(EtherType) field value for the protocol running on top of SNAP; if the 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 value of OUI field is 00-00-00 then value of PID will be etype

(0x0600-0xffff) and if value of OUI is other than 00-00-00 then valid value of PID will

be any value from 0x0000 to 0xffff.

Group Name :

A valid Group Name is a unique 16-character long string.

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.

6-9 Port Isolation

Port Isolation provides for an apparatus and method to isolate ports on layer 2 switches on

the same VLAN to restrict traffic flow. The apparatus comprises a switch having said plurality

of ports, each port configured as a protected port or a non-protected port. An address table

memory stores an address table having a destination address and port number pair. A

forwarding map generator generates a forwarding map which is responsive to a destination

address of a data packet. The method for isolating ports on a layer 2 switch comprises

configuring each of the ports on the layer 2 switch as a protected port or a non-protected

port. A destination address on a data packet is matched with a physical address on said layer

2 switch and a forwarding map is generated for the data packet based upon the destination

address on the data packet. The data packet is then sent to the plurality of ports pursuant to

the forwarding map generated based upon whether the ingress port was configured as a

protected or non-protected port.

This page is used for enabling or disabling port isolation on ports in a Private VLAN.A port

member of a VLAN can be isolated to other isolated ports on the same VLAN and Private VLAN.

Web Interface

Chapter 8 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.

Figure 8: The Spanning Tree Protocol

Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (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 9 MAC Address Tables

9-1 Configuration

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.

123

Figure 9-1: 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

128 entries. The maximum of 128 entries is for the whole stack, and not per switch.

Chapter 10 Multicast

10-1 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.

10-2 MLD Snooping

Curiously enough, a network node that acts as a source of IPv6 multicast traffic is only an

indirect participant in MLD snoopingit just provides multicast traffic, and MLD doesnt interact

with it. (Note, however, that in an application like desktop conferencing a network node may

act as both a source and an MLD host; but MLD interacts with that node only in its role as an

MLD host.)

A source node creates multicast traffic by sending packets to a multicast address. In IPv6,

addresses with the first eight bits set (that is, FF as the first two characters of the address) are

multicast addresses, and any node that listens to such an address will receive the traffic sent to

that address. Application software running on the source and destination systems cooperates

to determine what multicast address to use. (Note that this is a function of the application

software, not of MLD.)

When MLD snooping is enabled on a VLAN, the switch acts to minimize unnecessary multicast

traffic. If the switch receives multicast traffic destined for a given multicast address, it forwards

that traffic only to ports on the VLAN that have MLD hosts for that address. It drops that traffic

for ports on the VLAN that have no MLD hosts

Chapter 11 MVR

The MVR feature enables multicast traffic forwarding on the Multicast VLAN. In a multicast

television application, a PC or a television with 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 join message to Switch A to join the appropriate multicast. Uplink ports that

send and receive multicast data to and from the multicast VLAN are called MVR source ports.

Relay Information Mode :

Indicates the DHCP relay information mode option operation. The option 82 circuit ID format

as "[vlan_id][module_id][port_no]". The first four characters represent the VLAN ID, the fifth

and sixth characters are the module ID(in standalone device it always equal 0, in stackable

device it means switch ID), and the last two characters are the port number. For example,

168

"00030108" means the DHCP message receive form VLAN ID 3, switch ID 1, port No 8. And

the option 82 remote ID value is equal the switch MAC address.

Possible modes are:

Enabled: Enable DHCP relay information mode operation. When DHCP relay information

mode operation is enabled, the agent inserts specific information (option 82) into a DHCP

message when forwarding to DHCP server and removes it from a DHCP message when

transferring to DHCP client. It only works when DHCP relay operation mode is enabled.

Disabled: Disable DHCP relay information mode operation.

Relay Information Policy :

Indicates the DHCP relay information option policy. When DHCP relay information mode

operation is enabled, if the agent receives a DHCP message that already contains relay

agent information it will enforce the policy. The 'Replace' policy is invalid when relay

information mode is disabled. Possible policies are:

Replace: Replace the original relay information when a DHCP message that already contains

it is received.

Keep: Keep the original relay information when a DHCP message that already contains it is

received.

Drop: Drop the package when a DHCP message that already contains relay information is

received.

13-2 SNMP

Any Network Management System (NMS) running the Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent, provided that the

Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices. The SNMP

is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP manager and

agent and traverses the Object Identity (OID) of the management Information Base (MIB),

described in the form of SMI syntax. SNMP agent is running on the switch to response the

request issued by SNMP manager.

Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a switch to turn

on or off the SNMP agent. If you set the field SNMP Enable, SNMP agent will be started up.

All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via SNMP manager. If the field

SNMP is set Disable, SNMP agent will be de-activated, the related Community Name, Trap

Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.

13-2.1 Configuration

This section describes how to configure SNMP System on the switch. This function is used to

configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well as the throttle

of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both community

names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So, both parties must have

the same community name. Once completing the setting, click button, the setting

takes effect.

SNMPv3, the community string will be associated with SNMPv3 communities table. It

provides more flexibility to configure security name than a SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community

string. In addition to community string, a particular range of source addresses can be used

to restrict source subnet.

183

Write Community :

Indicates the community write access string to permit access to SNMP agent. The allowed

string length is 1 to 31, and the allowed content is the ASCII characters from 33 to 126.

13-3 IEEE 802.1X

13-3.1 Configuration

The section describes to configure the 802.1X parameters of the switch. The 802.1X can be

employed to connect users to a variety of resources including Internet access, conference calls,

printing documents on shared printers, or by simply logging on to the Internet.

Web Interface

To configure the IEEE 802.1X in the web interface:

1. Click Security, IEEE 802.1X and Configuration.

2. Select on in the Mode of IEEE 802.1X Configuration.

3. Checked Reauthentication Enabled.

4. Set Reauthentication Period (Default is 3600 seconds).

5. Select Admin State and displays Port State.

6. Click the Apply to save the setting.

7. If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the Reset button. It will revert to

previously saved values.

Figure 13-3.1: 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.

215

Reauthentication Enabled :

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 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 65535 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based ports.

Guest VLAN Enabled

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 of rules for entering and leaving the Guest VLAN as listed below.

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 the

port can be moved into Guest VLAN. When unchecked, the ability to move to the Guest

VLAN is disabled on all ports.

Guest VLAN ID

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 VLAN option is globally enabled.

Valid values are in the range [1; 4094].

Max. Reauth. Count

The number of times the switch transmits an EAPOL Request Identity frame without response

before considering entering the Guest VLAN is adjusted with this setting. The value can only

be changed if the Guest VLAN option is globally enabled.

Valid values are in the range [1; 255].

Allow Guest VLAN if EAPOL Seen

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 switch will only enter the

Guest VLAN if an EAPOL frame has not been received on the port for the life-time of the port.

If enabled (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 isglobally enabled.

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:

216

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 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.

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 "MonitorVLANsVLAN Membership and

VLAN Port" pages. These pages show which modules have (temporarily) overridden the

current Port VLAN configuration.

Guest VLAN Operation:

217

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.

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: 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.

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.

Re-authenticate: Schedules a re-authentication whenever the quiet-period of the port runs

out (EAPOL-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication, re-authentication 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 re-initialization of the clients on the port and thereby a re-authentication

immediately. The clients will transfer to the unauthorized state while the re-authentication is

in progress.

13-6 Port Security

13-6.1 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 13-6.1: 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

be set to Enabled for Limit Control to be in effect. Notice that other modules may still use

233

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 Shutdown 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

13-6.2 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.

Figure 13-6.2: The Port Security Status

Parameter description:

Port :

The port number for which the status applies. Click the port number to see the status for this

particular port.

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 Web-

page.

MAC Count (Current Learned) :

236

The columns indicates the number of currently learned MAC addresses (forwarding as well

as blocked) and the 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 (-).

Chapter 14 Access Control

14-1 Access Control List

The section describes how to configure Access Control List rule. An Access Control List (ACL) is

a sequential list of permit or deny conditions that apply to IP addresses, MAC addresses, or

other more specific criteria. This switch tests ingress packets against the conditions in an ACL

one by one. A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon

as it matches a deny rule. If no rules match, the frame is accepted. Other actions can also be

invoked when a matching packet is found, including rate limiting, copying matching packets to

another port or to the system log, or shutting down a port.

This page shows the Access Control List (ACL), which is made up of the ACEs defined on this

switch. Each row describes the ACE that is defined. The maximum number of ACEs is 256 on

each switch. Click on the lowest plus sign to add a new ACE to the list. The reserved ACEs used

for internal protocol, cannot be edited or deleted, the order sequence cannot be changed the
