Return to CONTENTS 19 Switching Chapter 4 Switching module is used to configure the basic functions of the switch, including three submenus: Port Setting, IGMP Snooping and LAG. 4.1 Port Setting On this page, you can configure the basic parameters for the ports. When the port is disabled, the packets on the port will be discarded. Disabling the port which is vacant for a long time can reduce the power consumption effectively. And you can enable the port when it is in need. The parameters will affect the working mode of the port, please set the parameters appropriate to your needs. Choose the menu Switching→Port Setting to load the following page. Figure 4-1 Port Config The following entries are displayed on this screen: Port Config Select: Select the desired port for configuration. It is multi-optional. Port: Displays the port number. Status: Allows you to Enable/Disable the port. When Enable is selected, the port can forward the packets normally. 20 Speed and Duplex: Config: Select the Speed and Duplex mode for the port. The device connected to the switch should be in the same Speed and Duplex mode with the switch. When “Auto” is selected, the Speed and Duplex mode will be determined by auto-negotiation. Actual: Displays the actual working state of the port. Flow Control: Config: Select On/Off to Enable/Disable the Flow Control feature. When Flow Control is enabled, the switch can synchronize the speed with its peer to avoid the packet loss caused by congestion. Actual: Displays the state of the Flow Control function of the port. It is off by default. LAG: Displays the LAG number which the port belongs to. Note: 1. The switch can not be managed through the disabled port. Please enable the port which is used to manage the switch. 2. The parameters of the port members in a LAG should be set as the same. 4.2 IGMP Snooping Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is a multicast control mechanism, which can be used on the switch for dynamic registration of the multicast group. IGMP Snooping allows the switch to recognize the IGMP messages transmitted between network stations or devices and an IGMP host. When receiving IGMP report message from the IGMP host, the switch will add the port to the multicast address table; when listening to IGMP leave message from the IGMP host, the switch will remove the port from the multicast address table. By managing and controlling the multicast address table, the broadcasting of multicast traffic can be effectively prevented in the network. On this page you can enable IGMP snooping feature and view the current IGMP Group information. 21 Choose the menu Switching→IGMP Snooping to load the following page. Figure 4-2 IGMP Snooping The following entries are displayed on this screen: IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable IGMP snooping function globally on the switch. Report Message Suppression: Enable or disable Report Message Suppression function globally.If this function is enabled,the first Report Message from the listener will forward to the router ports while the subsequent Report Message will be suppressed to reduce the IGMP packets. Multicast IP Table IP Address: Displays the multicast IP address. VLAN ID: Displays the VLAN ID of the multicast group. If the packet does not carry VLAN ID, then here displays the PVID of the port. All port members of a multicast group should be divided to the same VLAN, and have the same PVID. Ports: Displays the forwarding port list of the multicast group. 22 4.3 LAG LAG is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data path, which can highly extend the bandwidth. The bandwidth of the LAG is the sum of bandwidth of its member ports. There are some rules on using LAG: For the member ports in a LAG group, their configuration of Port setting (Speed and Duplex, Flow Control), QoS must be the same. For the newly joined member ports in a LAG group, their default setting of Port setting (Speed and Duplex, Flow Control), QoS will be configured the same as that of the first member port in the LAG group. The LAG member ports cannot be set as mirroring port. Before setting the LAG, its member ports should be divided to the same VLAN, and have the same PVID and drop the untagged packet rule. Change of the LAG setting will not affect the VLAN setting. If the LAG is needed, you are suggested to configure the LAG function here before configuring the other functions for the member ports. On this page, you can configure and view the information of the LAG group of the switch. Choose the menu Switching→LAG to load the following page. Figure 4-3 LAG Config 23 Here you can configure and view the port parameters. LAG Config LAG ID: Select an identified number for the LAG group from the drop-down list. Port: Select the port as the LAG group member. Clearing all the ports of the LAG group will delete this LAG group. LAG Table LAG ID: Displays the LAG number here. Ports: Displays the LAG member ports. Delete: Delete the selected LAG. Return to CONTENTS 24 Chapter 5 Monitoring Monitoring module monitors the traffic information of the switch, and provides the convenient method to locate and solve the network problem, includes four submenus: Port Statistics, Port Mirror, Cable Test and Loop Prevention. 5.1 Port Statistics On this page you can view the statistic information of each port, which facilitates you to monitor the traffic and locate faults promptly.

Figure 5-5 Loop Prevention Setting The following entries are displayed on this screen: Loop Prevention Setting Loop Status: Prevention Allows you to enable or disable loop prevention function globally. Return to CONTENTS 29 Chapter 6 VLAN The traditional Ethernet is a data network communication technology based on CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) via shared communication medium. Through the traditional Ethernet, the overfull hosts in LAN will result in serious collision, flooding broadcasts, poor performance or even breakdown of the Internet. Though connecting the LANs through switches can avoid the serious collision, the flooding broadcasts cannot be prevented, which will occupy plenty of bandwidth resources, causing potential serious security problems. A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical scheme rather than the physical layout. The VLAN technology is developed for switches to control broadcast in LANs. By creating VLANs in a physical LAN, you can divide the LAN into multiple logical LANs, each of which has a broadcast domain of its own. Hosts in the same VLAN communicate with one another as if they are in a LAN. However, hosts in different VLANs cannot communicate with one another directly. Therefore, broadcast packets are limited in a VLAN. Hosts in the same VLAN communicate with one another via Ethernet whereas hosts in different VLANs communicate with one another through the Internet devices such as router, the Lay3 switch, etc. The following figure illustrates a VLAN implementation. Figure 6-1 VLAN Implementation Compared with the traditional Ethernet, VLAN enjoys the following advantages. (1) Broadcasts are confined to VLANs. This decreases bandwidth utilization and improves network performance. 30 (2) Network security is improved. VLANs cannot communicate with one another directly. That is, a host in a VLAN cannot access resources in another VLAN directly, unless routers or Layer 3 switches are used. (3) Network configuration workload for the host is reduced. VLAN can be used to group specific hosts. When the physical position of a host changes within the range of the VLAN, you do not need to change its network configuration. There are 3 types of VLAN modes supported in the switch: 1. MTU VLAN MTU VLAN (Multi-Tenant Unit VLAN) defines an uplink port which will build up several VLANs with each of the other ports. Each VLAN contains two ports, the uplink port and one of the other ports in the switch, so the uplink port can communicate with any other port but other ports cannot communicate with each other. 2. Port Based VLAN VLANs are divided based on ports. By default, the Port Based VLAN is enabled. 3. 802.1Q VLAN The IEEE 802.1Q protocol defines a new format of the frame; it adds a Tag header in the original Ethernet frame, as follows: Figure 6-2 IEEE 802.1Q Frame VLAN tags in the packets are necessary for the switch to identify packets of different VLANs. The switch works at the data link layer in OSI model and it can identify the data link layer encapsulation of the packet only, so you can add the VLAN tag field into the data link layer encapsulation for identification. IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN is divided by VLAN ID (VID). On receiving a frame, the switch checks the VID in the Tag header of the frame to decide which VLAN it belongs to. If the receiving frame doesn’t contain the Tag header, the switch will assign a Tag to the frame, using the PVID of the port as its VID. 31 In this User Guide, the tagged packet refers to the packet with VLAN tag whereas the untagged packet refers to the packet without VLAN tag. The VLAN module is mainly for VLAN configuration, including four submenus: MTU VLAN, Port Based VLAN, 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1Q PVID Setting. 6.1 MTU VLAN On this page you can choose to enable MTU VLAN mode and configure VLANs. Choose the menu VLAN→MTU VLAN to load the following page. Figure 6-3 MTU VLAN Configuration The following entries are displayed on this screen: 6.2 MTU VLAN Setting MTU VLAN Status: Enable/Disable the MTU VLAN function globally. Uplink Port: Select the uplink port from the drop-down list. Port Based VLAN On this page you can configure Port Based VLAN feature and view the related settings. 32 Choose the menu VLAN→Port Based VLAN to load the following page. Figure 6-4 Port Based VLAN Configuration To ensure the normal communication of the factory switch, the default VLAN of all ports is set to VLAN1. VLAN 1 cannot be deleted. The following entries are displayed on this screen: Global Config Port Based VLAN Configuration: Enable or disable Port Based VLAN mode. Port Based VLAN Setting VLAN ID: Select the ID number of VLAN from the drop-down list. Ports: Click the port icon to select the port of the VLAN. It is multi-optional. If this field is selected, it indicates the port belongs to the current VLAN. VLAN: Displays the ID number of VLAN. Port List: Displays the port members in the VLAN. Delete VLAN: Click Delete to delete the corresponding VLAN. 33 Note: A VLAN cannot be the subset or superset of other VLANs. 6.3 802.1Q VLAN On this page you can configure 802.1Q VLAN feature and view the related settings. Choose the menu VLAN→802.1Q VLAN to load the following page. Figure 6-5 802.1Q VLAN Configuration To ensure the normal communication of the factory switch, the default VLAN of all ports is set to be VLAN1. VLAN 1 cannot be modified or deleted. The following entries are displayed on this screen: Global Config 802.1Q VLAN Status： Enable or disable 802.1Q VLAN mode. 802.1Q VLAN Setting VLAN ID： Enter the ID number of VLAN. It ranges from 2 to 4094. 34 VLAN Name： Give a name to the VLAN for identification. Untagged Ports： Click the port icon to configure the egress rule of the traffic on this port as untagged.

The switch adds the tag header before sending the packet. 6.4 VLAN ID： Displays the ID number of VLAN. VLAN Name： Displays the user-defined name of VLAN. Member Ports： Displays the port members in the VLAN. Tagged Ports： Displays the tagged port members in the VLAN. Untagged Ports: Displays the untagged port members in the VLAN. Delete VLAN: Click Delete to delete the corresponding VLAN. 802.1Q PVID Setting PVID (Port Vlan ID) is the default VID of the port. When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet according to the PVID of its received port and forward the packet. When creating VLANs, the PVID of each port, indicating the default VLAN to which the port belongs, is an important parameter with the following two purposes: (1) When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet according to the PVID of its received port (2) PVID determines the default broadcast domain of the port, i.e. when the port receives UL packets or broadcast packets, the port will broadcast the packets in its default VLAN.

QoS This switch classifies the ingress packets, maps the packets to four different priority queues and then forwards the packets according to WRR scheduling algorithms to implement QoS function. Figure 7-1 QoS Function Traffic classification: Identifies packets conforming to certain characters according to certain rules. Map: This switch supports four priority queues. The priority queues are labeled as 1(Lowest), 2(Normal), 3(Medium) and 4(Highest), among them the bigger the value, the higher the priority. The ingress packets are mapped to four different priority queues based on the QoS modes. This switch implements three priority modes based on port, on 802.1P and on DSCP. Queue scheduling algorithm: When the network is congested, the problem that many packets compete for resources must be solved, usually in the way of queue scheduling. In all QoS modes, this switch adopts WRR scheduling algorithm. In WRR scheduling algorithm, packets in all the queues are sent in order based on the weight value for each queue and every queue can be assured of a certain service time. The weight value indicates the occupied proportion of the resource. 37 QoS Mode This switch implements three priority modes based on port, on 802.1P and on DSCP. By default, the priority mode based on port is enabled and the other two modes are optional. 1. Port Based When port-base QoS mode is enabled, the user can manually map the ingress packets of the port to four different priority queues. After that, the switch will preferentially send packets in the queue with higher priority, and only when the queue with higher priority is empty, packets in the queue with lower priority are sent. 2. 802.1P Based Figure 7-2 802.1Q Frame As shown in the figure above, each 802.1Q Tag has a Pri field, comprising 3 bits. The 3-bit priority field is 802.1p priority in the range of 0 to 7. The 802.1p priority value determines how the switch maps the ingress packets to the priority queues. The mapping relationship between eight 802.1p priority value and priority queues is shown as follows: Priority 1 and 2 are assigned to the 1 (Lowest) priority queue. Priority 0 and 3 are assigned to the 2 (Normal) priority queue. Priority 4 and 5 are assigned to the 3 (Medium) priority queue. Priority 6 and 7 are assigned to the 4 (Highest) priority queue. When 802.1P QoS mode is enabled, the switch will automatically map the ingress packets to priority queues based on the 802.1p priority and the above mapping relationship. After that, packets in all the queues are sent in order based on the weight value for each queue. The switch implements four scheduling queues, TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4. TC1 has the lowest priority while TC4 has the highest priority. The weight value ratio of TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4 is 1:2:4:8. As for the untagged packets, the switch will forward it according to the default priority mode. 38 3. DSCP based Figure 7-3 IP datagram As shown in the figure above, the ToS (Type of Service) in an IP header contains 8 bits. The first three bits indicate IP precedence in the range of 0 to 7. RFC2474 re-defines the ToS field in the IP packet header, which is called the DS field. The first six bits (bit 0-bit 5) of the DS field indicate DSCP priority in the range of 0 to 63. The last 2 bits (bit 6 and bit 7) are reserved. The mapping relationship between sixty-four DSCP priority value and priority queues is shown as follows: Priority 0 to 15 are assigned to the 1 (Lowest) priority queue. Priority 16 to 31 are assigned to the 2 (Normal) priority queue. Priority 32 to 47 are assigned to the 3 (Medium) priority queue. Priority 48 to 63 are assigned to the 4 (Highest) priority queue. When DSCP QoS mode is enabled, the switch will automatically map the ingress packets to priority queues based on the DSCP precedence and the above mapping relationship. After that, packets in all the queues are sent in order based on the weight value for each queue. The switch implements four scheduling queues, TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4. TC1 has the lowest priority while TC4 has the highest priority. The weight value ratio of TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4 is 1:2:4:8. As for the untagged packets, the switch will forward it according to the default priority mode. The QoS module is mainly for priority configuration and traffic control, including three submenus: QoS Basic, Bandwidth Control and Storm Control. 7.1 QoS Basic This switch classifies the ingress packets, maps the packets to different priority queues and then forwards the packets to implement QoS function. This switch implements three priority modes based on port, on 802.1P or on DSCP. The port-based QoS mode supports four priority queues. The port priority queues are labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Return to CONTENTS 43 Chapter 8 PoE Note: Only TL-SG1016PE supports configuring PoE function. PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology describes a system to transmit electrical power along with data to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. It is especially useful for supplying power to IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, cameras and so on. Composition A PoE system usually consists of PSE and PD. PSE: Power sourcing equipment (PSE) is a device such as a switch that provides power on the Ethernet cable to the linked device. PD: A powered device (PD) is a device accepting power from the PSE and thus consumes energy. PDs fall into two types, standard PDs and nonstandard PDs. Standard PDs refer to the powered devices that comply with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at. Examples include wireless LAN access points, IP Phones, IP cameras, network hubs, embedded computers etc. Advantage Cheap cabling: The remote device such as cameras can be powered by PSE in no need of prolonging its power cord additionally and Ethernet cable is much cheaper than AC wire or power cord. Easy to connect: PoE uses only one Ethernet cable with no need of external power supply. Reliable: A powered device can be either powered by PSE using Ethernet cable or powered through the provided power adapter. It is very convenient to provide a backup power supply for the PDs. Flexibility: In compliance with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, global organizations can deploy PoE everywhere without concern for any local variance in AC power standards, outlets, plugs, or reliability. Wide use: It can be applied to wireless LAN access points, IP Phones, IP cameras, network hubs, embedded computers etc. TL-SG1016PE is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Ports 1-8 on the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE) function, which can automatically detect and supply power for those powered devices (PDs) complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at. The maximum power TL-SG1016PE can supply is 110W and the maximum power each PoE port can supply is 30W. 44 8.1 PoE Config On this page, you can configure the parameters to implement PoE function.
