Chapter 1 Introduction Ether-GSH8TW v2/GSH8TW+ v2 is high speed switch that provides up to 8 10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports (2 x MiniGBIC for Ether-8TW+ v2). Besides, it provides many advanced functions for nowadays variety of network application but at lower costs. Users doesn’t have to learn many sophisticated management functions which are usually shown in SNMP switch but just to learn some simple or common control or setting function through either out-of-band RS232 port or Ethernet port.
1.1 Main Features This switch provides the following main features: Non-blocking, full-line speed, store-and-forward Support jumbo frame, Max. packet length 9600 bytes Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX on all 10/100/1000M copper ports Up to 8 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper ports 144K byte packet buffer, 8K MAC entries Support port-based VLAN and tag-based (802.
1.2 Start to Manage This Switch Either way user may start to manage this switch: Web mode through Ethernet port or Terminal mode through RS232 port. Web mode default setting: Default IP Address: 192.168.1.100 Default IP mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.223.

Chapter 2 Web management After login is successfully validated, the switch’s home page will show up. The left part on the page provides the function menus, while the right part provides the individual configuration value or system parameters value. Function manuals are divided into three categories: Configuration, Monitoring and Maintenance, and all functions are shown briefly below.
2.1 Configurations 2.1.1 System The system diagram shows general common system information, they are H/W, F/W version, MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, IP gateway, default VLAN value of management port, name, password, timeout value, and SNMP communities…etc. Once the user finish the setting, he must press the “ Apply “ button to execute all his setting, and whenever he needs, he may press the “ Refresh “ button to get updated status of system information.
2.1.1.1 DHCP The default DHCP is off, so Default IP or user defined IP is used when this machine is turning-ON, but if this switch needs an IP assigned from DHCP server, user may click the square field and then press “ Apply “ to get an IP which will be assigned by DCHP server “. User must be aware that if he enables DHCP from web page, and if the DHCP server is working, then after enabling DHCP, he will lose contact of the web page, because the IP address has been changed.
2.1.2 Ports Port status page always shows current port status of all 8 ports. User can set link mode, enable or disable flow control and jumbo frame. However, be noticed that the jumbo frame is global setting, it can’t be set on individual port but on all ports at a time. A default diagram is shown below. Choose and click the ports you want to set. For example, choose port 1, and set port 1 Flow Control enable, then press “Apply”. After execution, diagram will be shown as below.
2.1.3 Port-based VLAN Port-based VLAN is a kind of VLAN which is a group of ports marked as a kind by group ID. Different VLAN (different ID) can’t communicate to each other. Before the setting, user must be aware of that there is a default Port-based VLAN, his group ID is 1. So, if user wants to set another new port-based VLAN, better set another group ID rather than 1. After pressing “Apply” button, the screen will show an updated VLAN Group table no matter user add a new group or delete a VLAN group.
2.1.4 Tag-based VLAN Tag-based VLAN is another kind of VLAN which is a group of ports marked as same kind by assigning a tag-value on each port. Same as port-based VLAN, different VLAN (different ID) can’t communicate to each other, and before the setting, there is a default tag-based VLAN, which ID is 1 (VLAN ID = 1). So, if user wants to create another new tag-based VLAN, better set another VLAN ID rather than 1 (tag-based VALN ID ranged from 1 ~ 4094).
If VLAN 10 and VLAN ID 20 must be isolated, then user must delete member port 5,6,7,8 in default VLAN group (VID = 1). See below. Be aware that CPU port still remains on VID = 1 group now, user can only perform web management through one of 4 ports, which is port 1,2,3,4.
1. VLAN Aware mode: z Enable - When Tag-VLAN function is applied on this port, user may enable VLAN Aware associated with this port, and then ingress frames and egress frames will be handled according to the following parameters’ setting. z Disable – default state, this means, switch doesn’t do VLAN tag stripping and insertion. 2. Ingress filtering: z Enable - Check ingress frame VLAN ID.
2.1.5 Port Trunking A default diagram is shown below, and up to 4 groups are provided. Choose and click the trunk ports you want to group. For example, choose port 1, port 2 into group 1, then press “Apply”. After execution, diagram will be shown as below.
2.1.6 Port Mirroring A default diagram is shown below. Choose and click the ports you want to monitor. For example, choose port 2 is mirror port, and the mirror source is port 5, and then press “Apply”. After execution, diagram will be shown as below.
2.1.7 Quality of Service There are 4 class priorities that can be set for each port: Low, Normal, Medium and High. Because there are 8 priority levels (0 ~ 7) for each port, so 8 priorities map into 4 classes must be done in this QoS control. There are 3 QoS Mode can be chosen: Port-based, 802.1P and DSCP. The frames send not only per priority setting but also per Queue Mode setting.

2.1.8 Storm Control A default diagram is shown below. Choose and click the type of storm you want to control. For example, choose Broadcast storm with 3,964 frames per second as upper limit, once the Broadcast frame rate is higher than 3,964 frames per second, this port will be disabled. Press “Apply”, after execution, diagram will be shown below.
2.1.9 LACP Different from the static port trunking, LACP provides another way to dynamically aggregate port to a group (trunk) according to IEEE 802.3ad. Once the protocol is enabled, the ports to be trunked by LACP will be executed automatically after press “Apply”. A default diagram is shown below. Two parameters need to be set per port basis in this webpage: Protocol Enabled – to enable/disable LACP protocol for a port. Key Value – a number (1 ~ 255) to identify the LACP group for a port.
2.1.10 RSTP The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is IEEE 802.1d standardized method for avoiding loops in switched networks. Enable STP to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network. The Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP) is a more advanced protocol than STP according to IEEE 802.1w standard. RSTP can shorten spanning tree convergent time while network topology is changed. A default diagram is shown below.
Use the following parameters in the webpage to configure RSTP function: System Configuration ¾ System Priority – A value to identify the root bridge. The bridge with lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. 16 numbers are provided in this field from 0 to 61140 in increments of 4096. ¾ Hello Time -- the number of seconds among the transmission of Spanning-Tree Protocol configuration messages. Enter a number 1 through 10.
2.1.11 IGMP The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IGMP can manage the multicast traffic if the members (switches, router or other network devices) of group support IGMP. This switch provides IGMP snooping feature to detect IGMP queries, report packets and manage the IP multicast traffic through the switch. This feature can limit the forwarding multicast frames only to those ports that are a member of multicast group.
