EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using Port Trunking Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group. A MAC client can treat Link Aggregation Groups as if they were a single link. The EDS-828’s Port Trunking feature allows devices to communicate by aggregating up to four links in parallel, with a maximum of eight ports for each link. If one of the eight ports fails, the other seven ports will provide back up and share the traffic automatically.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions When you activate port trunking settings, some advanced functions will either be set to factory default values, or disabled: • Port stat, such as transmitting speed, duplex, and flow control will be set to the factory defaults. • Communication Redundancy will be set to the factory default. • 802.1Q VLAN will be set to the factory default and will be disabled. • Multicast Filtering will be set to the factory default.

EDS-828 Series NOTE Featured Functions Most of Moxa’s managed switches now support two proprietary Turbo Ring protocols: 1. “Turbo Ring” refers to the original version of Moxa’s proprietary redundant ring protocol, which has a recovery time of under 300 ms. 2. “Turbo Ring V2” refers to the new generation Turbo Ring, which has a recovery time of under 20 ms.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Determining the Redundant Path of a “Turbo Ring” Ring In this case, the redundant segment (i.e., the segment that will be blocked during normal operation) is determined by the number of EDS-828 units that make up the ring, and where the ring master is located. “Turbo Ring” rings with an even number of EDS-828 units.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions ATTENTION In a VLAN environment, you must set “Redundant Port,” “Coupling Port,” and “Coupling Control Port” as “Trunk Port,” since these ports act as the “backbone” to transmit all packets of different VLANs to different EDS-828 units. Ring Coupling for a “Turbo Ring” Ring. To configure the Ring Coupling function for a “Turbo Ring” ring, select two EDS-828 units (e.g.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions ATTENTION Ring Coupling only needs to be enabled on one of the switches serving as the Ring Coupler. The Coupler must designate different ports as the two Turbo Ring ports and the coupling port. NOTE You do not need to use the same EDS-828 unit for both Ring Coupling and Ring Master. Dual-Ring Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”) The “dual-ring” option provides another ring coupling configuration, in which two adjacent rings share one switch.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Configuring “Turbo Ring” Explanation of “Current Status” Items Now Active Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none. Master/Slave Indicates whether or not this EDS-828 is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.) NOTE The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Redundant Ports Setting Description Factory Default 1st Port Select any port of the EDS-828 to be one of the redundant 1-1 ports. 2nd Port Select any port of the EDS-828 to be one of the redundant 1-2 ports. Enable Ring Coupling Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Select this EDS-828 as Coupler Not checked. Disable Do not select this EDS-828 as coupler.
EDS-828 Series NOTE Featured Functions The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring protocol will assign master status to one of the EDS-828 units in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the backup path.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Enable Ring Coupling Setting Description Factory Default Enable Select this EDS-828 as Coupler Not checked Disable Do not select this EDS-828 as Coupler Coupling Mode Setting Description Factory Default Dual Homing Select this item to change to the Dual Homing configuration Primary Port: not page. defined** Backup Port: not defined** Ring Coupling (backup) Select this item to change to the Ring Coupling (backup) Coupling Port: not configuration page.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions The path connecting to the Head port is the main path, and the path connecting to the Tail port is the back up path of the Turbo Chain. Under normal conditions, packets are transmitted through the Head Port to the LAN Network. If any Turbo Chain path is disconnected, the Tail Port will be activated to continue packet transmission.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Tail Switch Configuration Explanation of “Current Status” Items Now Active Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, Turbo Chain or None. The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocked if this port is connected to the Tail port as a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures in a network, and provide protection from loops. Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network. The EDS-828’s STP feature is disabled by default. To be completely effective, you must enable RSTP/STP on every EDS-828 connected to your network.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions What happens if a link failure is detected? As shown in next figure, the STP process reconfigures the network so that traffic from LAN segment 2 flows through Bridge B. STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Port Speed Path Cost 802.1D, 1998 Edition Path Cost 802.1w-2001 10 Mbps 100 2,000,000 100 Mbps 19 200,000 1000 Mbps 4 20,000 STP Calculation The first step of the STP process is to perform calculations. During this stage, each bridge on the network transmits BPDUs. The following items will be calculated: • Which bridge should be the Root Bridge. The Root Bridge is the central reference point from which the network is configured.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions STP Example The LAN shown in the following figure has three segments, with adjacent segments connected using two possible links. The various STP factors, such as Cost, Root Port, Designated Bridge Port, and Blocked Port are shown in the figure. • Bridge A has been selected as the Root Bridge, since it was determined to have the lowest Bridge Identifier on the network. • Since Bridge A is the Root Bridge, it is also the Designated Bridge for LAN segment 1.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions The following figure shows an example of a network that contains VLANs 1 and 2. The VLANs are connected using the 802.1Q-tagged link between Switch B and Switch C. By default, this link has a port cost of 100 and is automatically blocked because the other Switch-to-Switch connections have a port cost of 36 (18+18).
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Protocol of Redundancy Setting Description Turbo Ring Select this item to change to the Turbo Ring configuration page. None Factory Default RSTP (IEEE Select this item to change to the RSTP configuration page. None 802.1w/1D) Bridge priority Setting Description Factory Default Numerical value Increase this device’s bridge priority by selecting a lower 32768 selected by user number.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Configuration Limits of RSTP/STP The Spanning Tree Algorithm places limits on three of the configuration items described above: [Eq. 1]: 1 sec ≦ Hello Time ≦ 10 sec [Eq. 2]: 6 sec ≦ Max. Age ≦ 40 sec [Eq. 3]: 4 sec ≦ Forwarding Delay ≦ 30 sec These three variables are further restricted by the following two inequalities: [Eq. 4]: 2 * (Hello Time + 1 sec) ≦ Max.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions How Traffic Prioritization Works Traffic prioritization uses the four traffic queues that are present in your EDS-828 to ensure that high priority traffic is forwarded on a different queue from lower priority traffic. This is what provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network. The EDS-828’s traffic prioritization depends on two industry-standard methods: • IEEE 802.1D—a layer 2 marking scheme. • Differentiated Services (DiffServ)—a layer 3 marking scheme.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Traffic Prioritization The EDS-828 classifies traffic based on layer 2 of the OSI 7 layer model, and the switch prioritizes received traffic according to the priority information defined in the received packet. Incoming traffic is classified based upon the IEEE 802.1D frame and is assigned to the appropriate priority queue based on the IEEE 802.1p service level value defined in that packet. Service level markings (values) are defined in the IEEE 802.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions The EDS-828 supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Weighted Fair Description Factory Default The EDS-828 has 4 priority queues. In the weight fair scheme, Weight Fair an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions CoS Mapping CoS Value and Priority Queues Setting Description Factory Low/Normal/ Set the mapping table of different CoS values to 4 different 0: Low Medium/High egress queues. 1: Low 2: Normal 3: Normal 4: Medium 5: Medium 6: High 7: High TOS/DiffServ Mapping ToS (DSCP) Value and Priority Queues Setting Description Factory Default Low/Normal/ Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different 1 to 16: Low Medium/High egress queues.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-828 increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage. The Virtual LAN (VLAN) Concept What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions VLANs and Moxa EtherDevice Switch Your EDS-828 provides support for VLANs using IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998. This standard allows traffic from multiple VLANs to be carried across one physical link. The IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 standard allows each port on your EDS-828 to be placed in: • Any one VLAN defined on the EDS-828. • Several VLANs at the same time using 802.1Q tagging. The standard requires that you define the 802.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Sample Applications of VLANs using the EDS-828 In this application, • Port 1 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 5; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 5. • Port 2 connects a LAN with two untagged devices belonging to VLAN 2. One tagged device with VID 3 and one tagged device with VID 4. It should be configured as “Trunk Port” with PVID 2 for untagged device and Fixed VLAN (Tagged) with 3 and 4 for tagged device.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Configuring 802.1Q VLAN VLAN Port Settings To configure the EDS-828’s VLANs, use the VLAN Port Setting page to configure the ports.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Port Fixed VLAN List (Tagged) Setting Description Factory Default VID range from 1 to This field will be active only when selecting the “Trunk” port None 4094 type. Set the other VLAN ID for tagged devices that connect to the “Trunk” port. Use commas to separate different VIDs. Port Forbidden VLAN List Setting Description Factory Default VID range from 1 to This field will be active only when selecting the “Trunk” port None 4094 type.
EDS-828 Series • Featured Functions Reduces the load on the source (for example, a server) since it will not need to produce several copies of the same data. • Makes efficient use of network bandwidth and scales well as the number of multicast group members increases. • Works with other IP protocols and services, such as Quality of Service (QoS). Multicast transmission makes more sense and is more efficient than unicast transmission for some applications.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Multicast Filtering and Moxa EtherDevice Switch The EDS-828 has three ways to achieve multicast filtering: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping, GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), and adding a static multicast MAC manually to filter multicast traffic automatically. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping Mode Snooping Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Static Multicast MAC Some devices may only support multicast packets, but not support either IGMP Snooping or GMRP. The EDS-828 supports adding multicast groups manually to enable multicast filtering. Enabling Multicast Filtering Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying. If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the network.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions IGMP Snooping Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Click the checkbox to enable the IGMP Snooping function per Enabled if IGMP VLAN.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Add Static Multicast MAC If required, the EDS-828 also supports adding multicast groups manually. Add New Static Multicast Address to the List Setting Description Factory Default MAC Address Input the multicast MAC address of this host. None Setting Description Factory Default Select/Deselect Checkmark the appropriate check boxes to select the join ports None Join Port for this multicast group.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions GMRP enable Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Click the check box to enable the GMRP function for the port Disable listed in the Port column GMRP Table The EDS-828 displays the current active GMRP groups that were detected GMRP Status Setting Description Fixed Ports This multicast address is defined by static multicast. Learned Ports This multicast address is learned by GMRP.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using Bandwidth Management In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the device malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using Port Access Control The EDS-828 provides two kinds of Port-Base Access Control. One is IEE 802.1X and the other is Static Port Lock. IEEE 802.1X The IEEE 802.1X standard defines a protocol for client/server-based access control and authentication. The protocol restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through ports that are open to the Internet, and which otherwise would be readily accessible.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions 1. When the supplicant receives an “EAP Request/Identity” frame, it sends an “EAP Response/Identity” frame with its username back to the authenticator. 2. If the RADIUS server is used as the authentication server, the authenticator relays the “EAP Response/Identity” frame from the supplicant by encapsulating it into a “RADIUS Access-Request” frame and sends to the RADIUS server.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Configuring IEEE 802.1X 802.1X Setting Description Enable/Disable Click the checkbox(es) under the 802.1X column to enable IEEE Disable Factory Default 802.1X for one or more ports.

Port Access control Table The port status will show authorized or unauthorized.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using IP Filter The EDS-828 provides an 8-entity IP filter for each port. You can specify the port and then key in the IPs from which you will accept packets. Packets from other IPs will be rejected. These settings start working right after the Activate button is clicked. Using Auto Warning Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Email Alarm Events Settings Event Types Event Types can be divided into two basic groups: System Events and Port Events. System Events are related to the overall function of the switch, whereas Port Events are related to the activity of a specific port. System Event Warning e-mail is sent when… Switch Cold Start Power is cut off and then reconnected.

EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using the MAC Address Table This section explains the information provided by the EDS-828’s MAC address table. The MAC Address table can be configured to display the following the EDS-828 MAC address groups.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Using Layer 3 Settings The EDS-828 is a Layer-3 switch that performs data switching on the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the ISO’s OSI layer model. Unlike Layer-2 switching, which uses the MAC address for exchanging data, a Layer-3 switch uses the IP address to represent the destination of a data packet. Layer-2 switching Layer-3 switching The Layer-3 Switching Concept IP (Internet Protocol) is a protocol defined on layer 3 of the 7-layer OSI model.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Interface Setting The IP Interface Setting page is used to assign the interface. Interface Name Used to describe this interface (max. of 30 characters.) IP Address This option is used to specify the IP address of this interface. Subnet Mask This option is used to specify the subnet mask for this IP address. VLAN ID Setting ID numbers Description Factory Default Display all available VLAN IDs that you have set in the Virtual None (if no VLAN ID LAN.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Static Route The Static Route page is used to set up the static routing table for the EDS-828. Static Route Entry Destination Address You can specify the destination’s IP address. Subnet Mask This option is used to specify the subnet mask for this IP address. Next Hop This option is used to specify the next router along the path to the destination. Metric This option is used to specify the cost we have to pay to access the neighboring network.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions RIP Enable Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable This option is used to enable or disable the RIP function Disabled globally. RIP Version You can specify which version the RIP should follow. You can also select V1 Compatibility to make sure the RIP packet of Version 1 can be received as well.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions OSPF Global Settings Each L3 switch/router has an OSPF router ID, customarily written in the dotted decimal format (e.g., 1.2.3.4) of an IP address. This ID must be established in every OSPF instance. If not explicitly configured, the default ID (0.0.0.0) will be regarded as the router ID. Since the router ID is an IP address, it does not have to be a part of any routable subnet in the network.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions OSPF Area Entry Area ID, Area Type, Metric Setting Description Factory Default Area ID Define the areas that this L3 switch/router connects to. 0.0.0.0 Area Type Define the area type, Stub Area or NSSA. Normal Metric Define the metric value. 0 OSPF Area Table Shows the current OSPF area table in the L3 switch/router. OSPF Interface Settings Before using OSPF, we have to assign an interface for each area.
EDS-828 Series Auth Key Featured Functions Authentication key means the clear-text password when using N/A “Simple” method of the authentication type or MD5 encrypted password when using MD5 of authentication type. MD5 Key ID MD5 authentication provides higher security than plain text 1 authentication. This method uses the MD5 to calculate a hash value from the contents of the OSPF packet and the authentication key. This hash value is transmitted in the packet, along with a key ID.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions OSPF Area Aggregation Settings Each of OSPF areas which consist of a set of interconnected subnets and traffic across areas is handled by routers attached to two or more areas, known as Area Border Routers (ABRs). With OSPF aggregation function, users can combine groups of routes with common addresses into a single routing table entry. The function is used to reduce the size of routing tables.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions OSPF Database Table Shows the current OSPF database table. VRRP Settings The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) feature can solve the static configuration problem. VRRP enables a group of routers to form a single virtual router with a virtual IP address. The LAN clients can then be configured with the virtual router’s virtual IP address as their default gateway. The virtual router is the combination of a group of routers, and also known as a VRRP group.
EDS-828 Series Priority Featured Functions Determines priority in a VRRP group. The priority value range is 100 1 to 255 and the 255 is the highest priority. If several L3 switches / routers have the same priority, the router with higher IP address has the higher priority. The usable range is “1 to 255”. Preemption Mode Determines whether a backup L3 switch / router will take the Enabled authority of master or not. Routing Table The Routing Table page shows all routing entries used by the EDS-828.
EDS-828 Series Featured Functions Item Description Bootup This field shows how many times the EDS-828 has been rebooted or cold started. Date The date is updated based on how the current date is set in the “Basic Setting” page. Time The time is updated based on how the current time is set in the “Basic Setting” page. System Startup The system startup time related to this event. Time Events Events that have occurred. Syslog Settings This function provides the event logs for the syslog server.
EDS-828 Series NOTE Featured Functions The following events will be recorded into the EDS-828’s Event Log table, and will then be sent to the specified Syslog Server: 1. Cold start 2. Warm start 3. Configuration change activated 4. Power 1/2 transition (Off ( On), Power 1/2 transition (On ( Off) 5. Authentication fail 6. Topology changed 7. Master setting is mismatched 8. DI 1/2 transition (Off ( On), DI 1/2 transition (On ( Off) 9. Port traffic overload 10. dot1x Auth Fail 11.
EDS-828 Series NOTE Featured Functions Moxa provides a Root CA certificate. After installing this certificate into your PC or Notebook, you can access the web browser interface directly and will not see any warning messages again. You may download the certificate from the EDS-828A’s CD-ROM.
