User Guide Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 by default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 by default MAC Address: MAC address of the switch ARL Aging Time: Aging time of the MAC address table, 300 seconds by default 5.3 Port Settings In this screen you can set the operating mode of each port. Six working modes are available for any port: 10 Mbps half-duplex, 10 Mbps full-duplex, 100 Mbps half-duplex, 100 Mbps full-duplex, 1000 Mbps full-duplex and auto negotiation.
User Guide CAUTION: Do not disable ports unless necessary. Auto Negotiate: If “Disable” is selected, you must manually specify the speed and duplex the port will use. NOTE: In order to set or change “Speed Duplex” settings, you must “Disable” the auto-negotiation function. Speed Duplex: Select 10 Mbps half-duplex, 10 Mbps full-duplex, 100 Mbps halfduplex, 100 Mbps full-duplex or 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode for the port. Flow Control: Support for IEEE802.
User Guide Rate Limit Configuration: The XMS-1024 allows the user to set limits on how much bandwidth is allocated to each port. This feature prevents a devices or user from consuming excessive bandwidth and can be used to guarantee good quality bandwidth to all client devices connected to the switch. Port: Displays the corresponding port number for viewing or changing settings. All 24 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports are available for configuration.
User Guide NOTE: If multicast streaming is used in your environment you will want to raise this limit from the default. Unknown Unicast Rate (Flood): The allowed bandwidth rate of flood packets. Default is 1024kb or 1mb/second. NOTE: This value should not be raised without the assistance of a Network Administrator in determining if it is necessary. NOTE: The XMS-1024 does not completely suppress broadcast packets. Instead it only limits the transmission rate for broadcast packets. 5.3.
User Guide 5.4 Mirror Port mirroring is used to transfer the packets of one or more monitored ports to another port, allowing a security department or administrator to monitor Internet access, traffic flows and packets. The bandwidth of the monitoring port cannot be lower than that of the monitored port. If the monitoring port is the monitored port, the system automatically ignores this monitored port and does not duplicate the traffic. This function supports cross-VLAN monitoring.
User Guide 5.5.1 VLAN Mode 5.5.2 Port VLAN 5.5.3 802.1Q VLAN Configuration 5.5.4 VLAN Port Tag Configuration 5.5.1 VLAN Mode Two VLAN modes are available: Port VLAN and 802.1Q VLAN Port VLAN: This option sets the XMS-1024 to operate in port VLAN mode 802.1Q VLAN: This option sets the XMS-1024 to operate in 802.1Q VLAN mode NOTE: When one VLAN mode is selected, the other mode will be disabled 5.5.
User Guide VLAN Group: Defines the ports belonging to a specified VLAN. By default, group 1 includes all 24 ports VLAN Member: Adds the selected ports of the XMS-1024 to the specified VLAN Adding a Port to VLAN: To add a port, select the VLAN group, then mark the box to designate which ports should belong to the selected VLAN. NOTE: When modifying an already configured VLAN, all ports will show up as unchecked. Any port left unchecked, will not be part of the group.
User Guide NOTE: Modification of the attributes of VLAN ID 1 is not allowed. Port: Adds the ports for the specified VLAN ID 5.5.4 VLAN Port Tag Configuration Port Tag: Sets the Tag attribute for the corresponding port. The Port Tag rule specifies the changes to be made upon packet transmit.
User Guide 5.6 Trunk Trunking is used to expand bandwidth, for failover, and/or to increase error tolerance when networking multiple switches together. All ports that are defined as members of the trunk group can be used for trunking ONLY and cannot be used for other purposes, even when they are not being used by the trunk group. Cross-VLAN trunk grouping is not supported. All members of a trunk group must be within the same VLAN. Otherwise the trunk will not function properly.
User Guide 5.7 QoS QoS functions can be implemented through a combination of priority mode settings and priority control options. The XMS-1024 supports packet mapping by 4 priority levels (low, normal, medium and high) and 3 priority setting modes: Type of Service (ToS) Priority, 802.1P Tag Priority, and 802.
User Guide NOTE: Applications like Video Streaming and VoIP will work best with high priority 802.1P Tag Priority: Enables or disables 802.1P priority functions ToS priority: Enables or disables ToS priority functions QoS Status Table: Displays the QoS status of all ports 5.8 MAC Settings 5.8.1 MAC Filter 5.8.2 Static MAC 5.8.1 MAC Filter MAC Filter: This allows a MAC address to be added to a list that blocks that particular address from connecting to the network.
User Guide 5.8.2 Static MAC A Static MAC Address assigns and binds a particular MAC address to a specified port. Data transmission of that MAC address can then only be forwarded through the corresponding port. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address to be assigned Port ID: Select the port to which the MAC address will be bound Static MAC Address Table: Lists bound MAC addresses and the ports to which they have been assigned, as shown below.
User Guide 5.9.1 802.1X Configuration 802.1X Enabled: Mark the box to enable or leave it unmarked to disable the 802.1X authentication function RADIUS Server IP: Sets the IP address of the RADIUS server RADIUS UDP Port: Sets the RADIUS UDP port of the XMS-1024. It is set to 1812 by default RADIUS Secret: Sets the value of the secret key the XMS-1024 sends to the corresponding RADIUS server. If there is a mismatch, the server will drop all authentication requests.
User Guide 5.9.2 802.1X Port Configuration Admin State: There are 3 options: Force Authorized, Force Unauthorized and Auto. In “Forced Authorized” state, the port allows transmission of any message. In “Forced Unauthorized” state, the port only allows transmission of authenticated messages. In “Auto” state the port allows transmission of certain messages according to the authentication result NOTE: If using a RADIUS server, it is recommended to use the “Auto” state setting.
User Guide 5.10.1 RSTP Configuration System Priority: Sets the system priority of each switch within the network. The switch with the lowest system priority will become the root bridge. If the switch is used in a large-scale enterprise network, it is recommended to skip this setting. Hello Time: Sets a value ranging 1 second to 10 seconds. This sets the time interval for the root bridge transmission of BPDU packets to all of other switches, so it is known which switch is serving as the root bridge.
User Guide 5.10.2 RSTP Port Configuration Protocol Enabled: Enables or disables the RSTP function by port. By default this function is disabled for all ports Edge: If a port is directly connected with a device, the port should be set as an edge port. Edge ports feature faster status transition, taking a shorter time to change from blocking state into forwarding state. Path Cost: Sets a value ranging 0 to 200000000.
User Guide 5.11 IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping is used to implement dynamic registration of L2 multicast on the switch. To accommodate L2 multicast with IGMP Snooping, IGMP must be activated on the client device and router as the XMS-1024 only snoops the IGMP messages transmitted by the client device and router to dynamically maintain the L2 multicast group. Multicast registration on this switch does not affect the settings of other switches in the environment.
User Guide 5.11.2 Snooping Status IGMP Status: Displays the multicast snooping options configured by VLAN. When the multicast table is not established, “Querier” displays “Idle”. When the XMS-1024 snoops into a multicast message, “Querier” displays “Active” and the values in “Queries transmitted” and “Queries received” will begin to be displayed. The values in “V1 Reports”, “V2 Reports” and “V3 Reports” shows the version of the multicast messages received.
User Guide Information Base (MIB) of the switch. The XMS-1024 adopts standard MIB-II modules that support read function from any SNMP-based NMS software. MIB data may be set to either read-only or read-write mode. The default SNMP community names of the switch can be user modified. Traps are messages generated by the XMS-1024 and used for notification of certain events. Such events may be serious (i.e. switch reboot) or ordinary (i.e. the status changes of a switch port).
