Broadcast Storm Filter To configure broadcast storm control, enable it and set the upper threshold for individual ports. The threshold is the percentage of the port's total bandwidth used by broadcast traffic. When broadcast traffic for a port rises above the threshold set, broadcast storm control becomes active. Range: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and off. Priority Queue Service Settings Parameter Description First Come First Service The sequence of packets sent is depend on arrive order.
Protocol Enable Setting Parameter Description Enable Spanning Tree Allow STP to be enabled. Protocol Recommended setting is ‘enable’. Enable Internet Group Allow IGMP to be enabled. Multicast Protocol VLAN Protocol Allow selection of VLAN types. GVRP allows automatic VLAN configuration between the VDSL Switch and nodes.
5.6 Port Controls This section shows user how to change every port status and speed mode. The procedure that the VDSL Switch determines speed is as follows: 1. Confirm the phone cable have been connected with SP3508A and SP3501AS. 2. Power on both devices. 3. The device will start auto-speed function after SP3501AS re-boot. 4. SP3508A will try 25M mode to link with SP3501AS, if fail, auto speed down to 15M mode and re-link with SP3501AS.
5.7 Link Aggregation The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group. It moves the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enables its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
LACP If enable, the group is LACP static trunking group. If disable, the group is local static trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically. If LACP enable, users can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports Work Ports The max number of ports can be aggregated at the same time.
Parameter Description Active The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive The port does not automatically sends LACP protocol packets, and responds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device. 5.8 Filter Database The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using VDSL Switch, routers, and hosts that support IGMP.
2. Report: A message sent by a host to the queries to indicate that the host wants to be or is a member of a given group indicated in the report message. 3. Leave Group: A message sent by a host to the queries to indicate that the host has quit the membership of a specific multicast group. 5.8.2 Static MAC Address When users add a static MAC address, it remains in the SP3508A’s address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch.
5.8.3 Port Security A port in security mode will be “locked” without permission of address learning. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the address table can be forwarded normally. User can disable the port from learning any new MAC addresses, then use the static MAC addresses screen to define a list of MAC addresses that can use the secure port. Enter the settings, and then click to apply the changes on this page. 5.8.
5.9 VLAN Configuration A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain. It allows user to isolate network traffic so only members of the VLAN receive traffic from the same VLAN members. Basically, creating a VLAN from a SP3508A is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are still plug into the same SP3508A physically.
Support Protocol-based VLAN In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN, it has to be either capable of tagging packets with VLAN tags or attached to a VLANaware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
5.9.2 Port VID The interface sets the Port VLAN ID that will be assigned to untagged traffic on a given port. For example, if port 10's Default PVID is 100, all untagged packets on port 10 will belong to VLAN 100. The default setting for all ports is VID 1. This feature is useful for accommodating devices that you want to participate in the VLAN but that don't support tagging. Only one untagged VLAN is allowed per port.
5.10 Spanning Tree The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in SP3508A networks. When STP enabled, ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network. It is recommended that users enable STP on all SP3508A to ensure a single active path on the network. 1. User can view spanning tree information about the Root Bridge in the following screen. 2. Users can view the spanning tree status of the SP3508A in the following screen.
Parameter Description Priority Users can change priority value to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. Range: 1~65535. Max Age Users can change Max Age value, the number of seconds a bridge waits without receiving. Spanning-Tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration. Range: 6~40.
Parameter Description Port Priority Users can make it more or less likely to become the root port. The lowest number has the highest priority. If users change the value, it is necessary to reboot the SP3508A. Range: 0~255. Default: 128. Path Cost Specifies the path cost of the port that the SP3508A uses to determine which port are the forwarding ports. The lowest number is forwarding ports. If users change the value, it is necessary to reboot the SP3508A.
