INTRODUCTION Overview In this user’s manual, it will not only tell you how to install and connect your network system but configure and monitor the GTL-5280 by (RS-232) serial interface or through the web and Ethernet ports step-by-step. Many explanations in detail of hardware and software functions are shown as well as the examples of the operation for web-based interface.
Chapter 1 Initial Configuration Operation of Web-based Management This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the GTL-5280 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.
NOTE: AS GTL-5280 the function enable dhcp, so If you do not have DHCP server to provide ip addresses to the switch, the Switch default ip 192.168.1.1 Figure 1 The login page NOTE: If you need to configuration the function or parameter then you can refer the detail in the User Guide. Or you could access to the Switch and click the "help" under the web GUI and the switch will pop-up the simple help content to teach you how to set the parameters.

CONNECTING NETWORK DEVICES TWISTED-PAIR DEVICES CABLING GUIDELINES The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to remote devices using optional SFP transceivers. Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections.
Step2. If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See the section “Network Wiring Connections.”) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch. Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length. NOTE: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem.
System Configuration Chapter 2 This chapter describes the entire basic configuration tasks which includes the System Information and any manage of the Switch (e.g. Time, Account, IP, Syslog and SNMP.) 2-1 System Information After you login, the switch shows you the system information.
The model name of this device. System description: As it is, this tells what this device is. Here, it is “44-Port 10/100/1000BaseT + 4 (100/1G) SFP Combo + 4 (1G/10G) SFP+ PoE+ L2 Plus Managed Switch”. Location: Basically, it is the location where this switch is put. User-defined. Contact: For easily managing and maintaining device, you may write down the contact person and phone here for getting help soon. You can configure this parameter through the device’s user interface or SNMP.
2-1.2 Configuration You can identify the system by configuring the contact information, name, and location of the switch. Web interface To configure System Information in the web interface: 1. Click System, System Information, Configuration. 2. Write System Contact, System Name, System Location information in this page. 3. Click Apply Figure 2-1.
2-1.3 CPU Load This page displays the CPU load, using an SVG graph. The load is measured as averaged over the last 100ms, 1sec and 10 seconds intervals. The last 120 samples are graphed, and the last numbers are displayed as text as well.In order to display the SVG graph, your browser must support the SVG format. Consult the SVG Wiki for more information on browser support. Specifically, at the time of writing, Microsoft Internet Explorer will need to have a plugin installed to support SVG.
2-2 Time This page configure the switch Time. Time configure is including Time Configuration and NTP Configuration 2-2.1 Manual The switch provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via NTP. Manual setting is simple and you just input “Year”, “Month”, “Day”, “Hour”, “Minute” and “Second” within the valid value range indicated in each item. Web Interface To configure Time in the web interface: 1. Click Time , Manual. 2. Specify the Time parameter in manual parameters. 3. Click Apply.
The switch supports valid configurable day light saving time is –5 ~ +5 step one hour. The zero for this parameter means it need not have to adjust current time, equivalent to in-act daylight saving. You don’t have to set the starting/ending date as well. If you set daylight saving to be non-zero, you have to set the starting/ending date as well; otherwise, the daylight saving function will not be activated. Time Set Offset: Provide the Daylight saving time set offset.
2-2.2 NTP 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 user’s processing. Time Zone is an offset time off GMT.
2-3 Account In this function, only administrator can create, modify or delete the username and password. Administrator can modify other guest identities’ password without confirming the password but it is necessary to modify the administrator-equivalent identity. Guest-equivalent identity can modify his password only. Please note that you must confirm administrator/guest identity in the field of Authorization in advance before configuring the username and password.

3-3 Aggregation The Aggregation is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full duplex and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your current Ethernet equipment’s to build the bandwidth aggregation.
Parameter description: Hash Code Contributors Source MAC Address : The Source MAC address can be used to calculate the destination port for the frame. Check to enable the use of the Source MAC address, or uncheck to disable. By default, Source MAC Address is enabled. Destination MAC Address : The Destination MAC Address can be used to calculate the destination port for the frame. Check to enable the use of the Destination MAC Address, or uncheck to disable.
3-3.2 LACP Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad specification) as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP GroupID to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using LACP is that a port makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a ready member of a “trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer than the other trunking method - static trunk. 3-3.2.
Parameter description: Port : The switch port number. LACP Enabled : Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an aggregation when 2 or more ports are connected to the same partner. LACP can form max 12 LLAGs per switch and 2 GLAGs. Key : The Key value incurred by the port, range 1-65535 . The Auto setting will set the key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2, 1Gb = 3. Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered.

3-6 MLD Snooping Curiously enough, a network node that acts as a source of IPv6 multicast traffic is only an indirect participant in MLD snooping—it just provides multicast traffic, and MLD doesn’t 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.

3- 9 Filtering Data Base Filtering Data Base Configuration gathers many functions, including MAC Table Information, Static MAC Learning, which cannot be categorized to some function type. MAC table 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 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.

A. Glossary of Web-based Management A ACE ACE is an acronym for Access Control Entry. It describes access permission associated with a particular ACE ID. There are three ACE frame types (Ethernet Type, ARP, and IPv4) and two ACE actions (permit and deny). The ACE also contains many detailed, different parameter options that are available for individual application. ACL ACL is an acronym for Access Control List.
(Also Port Aggregation, Link Aggregation). ARP ARP is an acronym for Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. ARP allows a host to communicate with other hosts when only the Internet address of its neighbors is known. Before using IP, the host sends a broadcast ARP request containing the Internet address of the desired destination system. ARP Inspection ARP Inspection is a secure feature.
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP Relay DHCP Relay is used to forward and to transfer DHCP messages between the clients and the server when they are not on the same subnet domain.
EPS EPS is an abbreviation for Ethernet Protection Switching defined in ITU/T G.8031. Ethernet Type Ethernet Type, or EtherType, is a field in the Ethernet MAC header, defined by the Ethernet networking standard. It is used to indicate which protocol is being transported in an Ethernet frame. F FTP FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. It is a transfer protocol that uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides file writing and reading.
ICMP is an acronym for Internet Control Message Protocol. It is a protocol that generated the error response, diagnostic or routing purposes. ICMP messages generally contain information about routing difficulties or simple exchanges such as time-stamp or echo transactions. IEEE 802.1X IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control.
IP Source Guard is a secure feature used to restrict IP traffic on DHCP snooping untrusted ports by filtering traffic based on the DHCP Snooping Table or manually configured IP Source Bindings. It helps prevent IP spoofing attacks when a host tries to spoof and use the IP address of another host. L LACP LACP is an IEEE 802.3ad standard protocol. The Link Aggregation Control Protocol, allows bundling several physical ports together to form a single logical port. LLC The IEEE 802.
MEP MEP is an acronym for Maintenance Entity Endpoint and is an endpoint in a Maintenance Entity Group (ITU-T Y.1731). MD5 MD5 is an acronym for Message-Digest algorithm 5. MD5 is a message digest algorithm, used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. It was designed by Ron Rivest in 1991. MD5 is officially defined in RFC 1321 - The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm.
O OAM OAM is an acronym for Operation Administration and Maintenance. It is a protocol described in ITU-T Y.1731 used to implement carrier ethernet functionality. MEP functionality like CC and RDI is based on this Optional TLVs. A LLDP frame contains multiple TLVs For some TLVs it is configurable if the switch shall include the TLV in the LLDP frame. These TLVs are known as optional TLVs. If an optional TLVs is disabled the corresponding information is not included in the LLDP frame.
POP3 POP3 is an acronym for Post Office Protocol version 3. It is a protocol for email clients to retrieve email messages from a mail server. POP3 is designed to delete mail on the server as soon as the user has downloaded it. However, some implementations allow users or an administrator to specify that mail be Saved for some period of time. POP can be thought of as a "store-and-forward" service. An alternative protocol is Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).
R RARP RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that is used to obtain an IP address for a given hardware address, such as an Ethernet address. RARP is the complement of ARP. RADIUS RADIUS is an acronym for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. It is a networking protocol that provides centralized access, authorization and accounting management for people or computers to connect and use a network service. RDI RDI is an acronym for Remote Defect Indication.
SSID Service Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which a user wants to attach. A client device will receive broadcast messages from all access points within range advertising their SSIDs, and can choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by displaying a list of SSIDs in range and asking the user to select one (wikipedia). SSH SSH is an acronym for Secure SHell.
TELNET TELNET is an acronym for TELetype NETwork. It is a terminal emulation protocol that uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides a virtual connection between TELNET server and TELNET client. TFTP TFTP is an acronym for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. It is transfer protocol that uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and provides file writing and reading, but it does not provide directory service and security features. U UDP UDP is an acronym for User Datagram Protocol.
VLAN ID VLAN ID is a 12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the frame belongs. Voice VLAN Voice VLAN is VLAN configured specially for voice traffic. By adding the ports with voice devices attached to voice VLAN, we can perform QoS-related configuration for voice data, ensuring the transmission priority of voice traffic and voice quality.
