EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring SNMP EDS-726 supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private (default value). SNMP V3, which requires you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol. You can also enable data encryption to enhance data security.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions SNMP Read/Write Settings SNMP Versions Setting V1, V2c, V3, or V1, V2c, or V3 only Description Select the SNMP protocol version used to manage the switch. Factory Default V1, V2c V1, V2c Read Community Setting V1, V2c Read Community Description Use a community string match with a maximum of 30 characters for authentication. This means that the SNMP agent accesses all objects with read-only permissions using the community string public.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions For SNMP V3, there are two levels of privilege for different accounts to access the EDS-726. Admin privilege allows access, and authorization to read and write the MIB file. User privilege only allows reading the MIB file, but not authorization to write. Admin Auth.

Factory Default public Private MIB information Switch Object ID Setting 8691.7.1 Description EDS-726’s enterprise value Factory Default Fixed NOTE: The Switch Object ID cannot be changed.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions Port trunking and Turbo Ring can be enabled simultaneously to form a backbone. Doing so will increase the bandwidth of the backbone, and also provide redundancy. For example, suppose that two physical ports, 1 and 2, are trunked to form trunk group Trk1, and then Trk1 is set as one Turbo Ring path. If port 1 gets disconnected, the remaining trunked port, port 2, will share the traffic.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions When the number of EDS-726 units in the Turbo Ring is even. If there are 2N EDS-726 units (an even number) in the Turbo Ring, then the backup segment is one of the two segments connected to the (N+1)st EDS-726 (i.e., the EDS-726 unit directly opposite the Master).

EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that is used to implement parallel paths for network traffic. STP uses a loop-detection process to: y y Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e., paths that have a lower bandwidth). Enable one of the less efficient paths if the most efficient path fails. The figure below shows a network made up of three LANs separated by three bridges.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual 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. LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assign a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions 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: y y y y Which bridge should be the Root Bridge. The Root Bridge is the central reference point from which the network is configured. The Root Path Costs for each bridge. This is the cost of the paths from each bridge to the Root Bridge. The identity of each bridge’s Root Port.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STP Example The LAN shown below 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.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual 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-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Now Active: This field will show which communication protocol is being used—Turbo Ring, RSTP, or neither. Root/Not Root This field will appear only when selected to operate in RSTP mode. It indicates whether or not this EDS-726 is the Root of the Spanning Tree (the root is determined automatically). At the bottom of this page, the user can configure the “Settings” of this function.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Enable STP per Port Setting Enable/Disable NOTE Description Select to enable the port as a node on the Spanning Tree topology. Factory Default Disabled We suggest not enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol once the port is connected to a device (PLC, RTU, etc.) as opposed to network equipment. The reason is that it will cause unnecessary negotiation.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Traffic Prioritization EDS-726’s traffic prioritization capability provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network by making data delivery more reliable. You can prioritize traffic on your network to ensure that high priority data is transmitted with minimum delay. Traffic can be controlled by a set of rules to obtain the required Quality of Service for your network.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual IEEE 802.1p Priority Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Featured Functions IEEE 802.1D Traffic Type Best Effort (default) Background Standard (spare) Excellent Effort (business critical) Controlled Load (streaming multimedia) Video (interactive media); less than 100 milliseconds of latency and jitter Voice (interactive voice); less than 10 milliseconds of latency and jitter Network Control Reserved traffic Even though the IEEE 802.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual 2. Featured Functions Because the 802.1p priority levels are fixed to the traffic queues, the packet will be placed in the appropriate priority queue, ready for transmission through the appropriate egress port. When the packet reaches the head of its queue and is about to be transmitted, the device determines whether or not the egress port is tagged for that VLAN. If it is, then the new 802.1p tag is used in the extended 802.1D header.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Queuing Mechanism Setting Weighted Fair Strict Description EDS-726 has 4 priority queues. In the weight fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities. This approach prevents the lower priority frames from being starved of opportunity for transmission with only a slight delay to the higher priority frames.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions CoS Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different CoS values to 4 different egress queues.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Featured Functions Description Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different egress queues. Factory Default 1 to 16: Low 17 to 32: Normal 33 to 48: Medium 49 to 64: High Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-726 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.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Benefits of VLANs The main benefit of VLANs is that they provide a network segmentation system that is far more flexible than traditional networks. Using VLANs also provides you with three other benefits: y y y VLANs ease the relocation of devices on networks: With traditional networks, network administrators spend much of their time dealing with moves and changes.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 defines how VLANs operate within an open packet-switched network. An 802.1Q compliant packet carries additional information that allows a switch to determine which VLAN the port belongs to. If a frame is carrying the additional information, it is known as a tagged frame.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Port 3 connects with another switch. It should be configured as “Trunk Port.” GVRP protocol will be used through the Trunk Port. y Port 4 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 2; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 2. y Port 5 connects a single untagged device and assigns it to VLAN 3; it should be configured as “Access Port” with PVID 3.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions To configure EDS-726 VLANs, use the VLAN Port Setting page to configure the ports. Port Type Setting Access Trunk Description This port type is used to connect single devices without tags. Select “Trunk” port type to connect another 802.1Q VLAN aware switch or another LAN that combines tagged and/or untagged devices and/or other switches/hubs.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions VLAN Table In this table, you can review the VLAN groups that were created, Joined Access Ports, and Trunk Ports. NOTE The physical network can have a maximum of 64 VLAN settings. Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your EDS-726.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions industrial automation protocols, such as Allen-Bradley, EtherNet/IP, Siemens Profibus, and Foundation Fieldbus HSE (High Speed Ethernet), use multicast. These industrial Ethernet protocols use publisher/subscriber communications models by multicasting packets that could flood a network with heavy traffic.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Multicast Filtering and MOXA EtherDevice Switch EDS-726 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-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions de-register the multicast address from its database, and all the multicast packets with this multicast address are not able to be forwarded from this port. Static Multicast MAC Some devices may only support multicast packets, but not support either IGMP Snooping or GMRP. MOXA EDS-726 supports adding multicast groups manually to enable multicast filtering.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions IGMP Snooping Setting Enable/Disable Description Click the checkbox to enable the IGMP Snooping function per VLAN. Factory Default Enabled if IGMP Snooping Enabled Globally Static Multicast Router Port Setting Select/Deselect Description Factory Default Click the checkbox to select which ports will connect to Disabled the multicast routers. It’s active only when IGMP Snooping is enabled.

Factory Default None Description Input the number of the VLAN that the host with this MAC Address belongs to. Factory Default None Description Checkmark the appropriate check boxes to select the join ports for this multicast group.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Configuring GMRP GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. GMRP provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to register or un-register Group membership information dynamically. Port Setting x-y Description Displays the module (x) and port No.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions GMRP Table EDS-726 displays the current active GMRP groups that were detected Setting Fixed Ports Learned Ports Description This multicast address is defined by static multicast. This multicast address is learned by GMRP. Using Bandwidth Management In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the device malfunctions.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Traffic Rate Limiting Settings Setting Ingress rate Description Factory Default Select the ingress rate for all packets from the following N/A options: not limited, 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%, 50%, 65%, 85% Using Port Access Control EDS-726 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.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Authenticator: Edge switch or wireless access point that acts as a proxy between the supplicant and the authentication server, requesting identity information from the supplicant, verifying the information with the authentication server, and relaying a response to the supplicant. EDS-726 acts as an authenticator in the 802.1X environment. A supplicant and an authenticator exchange EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) frames with each other.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual 4. 5. 6. 7. Featured Functions The authenticator sends an “EAP Request/MD5-Challenge” frame to the supplicant. If the RADIUS server is used, the “EAP Request/MD5-Challenge” frame is retrieved directly from the “RADIUS Access-Challenge” frame. The supplicant responds to the “EAP Request/MD5-Challenge” by sending an “EAP Response/MD5-Challenge” frame that encapsulates the user’s password using the MD5 hash algorithm.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Database Option Setting Local (Max. 32 users) Radius Radius, Local Description Factory Default Select this option when setting the Local User Database Local as the authentication database. Select this option to set an external RADIUS server as Local the authentication database.

EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows EDS-726 to return to normal operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery time is on the order of a few milliseconds (compare this with standard commercial switches for which the recovery time could be on the order of several minutes).
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions STEP 1—set up the connected devices Set up those Ethernet-enabled devices connected to EDS-726 for which you would like IP addresses to be assigned automatically. The devices must be configured to obtain their IP address automatically. The devices’ configuration utility should include a setup page that allows you to choose an option similar to Obtain an IP address automatically. For example, Windows’ TCP/IP Properties window is shown at the right.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Desired IP Address Setting IP Address Description Set the desired IP of connected devices. Factory Default None Using Diagnosis MOXA EDS-726 provides two important tools for administrators to diagnose network systems. Mirror Port The Mirror port function can be used to monitor data being transmitted through a specific port.
EDS-726 Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Ping The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from EDS-726 itself. In this way, the user can essentially “sit on top of EDS-726” and send ping commands out through its ports.
