Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 2-1-2-3. Switch Cascading in Topology • Takes the Delay Time into Account Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch cascading that you may up-link the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraint of the IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access each other (See Fig. 2-2). Fig. 2-2 No VLAN Configuration Diagram If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area. Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Case 2b: Port-based VLAN (See Fig.2-4). Fig. 2-4 Port-based VLAN Diagram 1.

Configuring the Management Agent of 16 Gigabit Web Smart Switch In the way of web, user is allowed to startup the switch management function. Users can use any one of them to monitor and configure the switch. You can touch them through the following procedures.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 2-1-3-1. Configuring Management Agent of 16 Gigabit Web Smart Switch through Ethernet Port There are two ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s Ethernet port. They are Web browser and SNMP manager. The user interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just introduce the first type of management interface. Web-based UI for the switch is an interface in a highly friendly way.

IP Address Assignment For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled in. They are IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS. IP address: The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication. Its address structure looks is shown in the Fig. 2-8. It is “classful” because it is split into predefined address classes or categories.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A, class B and class C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address range described below. Class A: Address is less than 126.255.255.255.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Class D and E: Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast. According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP address blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal network.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long, 255.255.255.128, contains 126 members in the sub-netted network. Another is that the length of network prefix equals the number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask. With this, you can easily count the number of IP addresses matched. The following table shows the result. Prefix Length No. of IP matched No.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like 255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network. Default gateway: For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as default router. Basically, it is a routing policy.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 2-2. Typical Applications The 16 Gigabit Web Smart Switch implements 16 Gigabit Ethernet TP ports with auto MDIX and two slots for the removable module supporting comprehensive fiber types of connection, including LC and BiDi-LC SFP modules.

Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 3. Basic Concept and Management This chapter will tell you the basic concept of features to manage this switch and how they work. 3-1. What’s the Ethernet Ethernet originated and was implemented at Xerox in Palo Alto, CA in 1973 and was successfully commercialized by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel and Xerox (DIX) in 1980.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch IEEE 802.2 LLC Data Link Layer IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD MAC IEEE 802.3 PLS CS Physical Layer MII ANSI X3T9.5 PMD IEEE 802.3 MAU Fiber Coaxial/STP/UTP This above diagram shows the Ethernet architecture, LLC sub-layer and MAC sub-layer, which are responded to the Data Link layer, and transceivers, which are responded to the Physical layer in OSI model. In this section, we are mainly describing the MAC sub-layer.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Table 3-1 LLC Format The table 3-1 is the format of LLC PDU. It comprises four fields, DSAP, SSAP, Control and Information. The DSAP address field identifies the one or more service access points, in which the I/G bit indicates it is individual or group address. If all bit of DSAP is 1s, it’s a global address. The SSAP address field identifies the specific services indicated by C/R bit (command or response).
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Fig. 3-2 SAP Format 3-2. Media Access Control (MAC) MAC Addressing Because LAN is composed of many nodes, for the data exchanged among these nodes, each node must have its own unique address to identify who should send the data or should receive the data. In OSI model, each layer provides its own mean to identify the unique address in some form, for example, IP address in network layer.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Bit 47 1st byte 2nd byte OUI code 3rd byte 4th byte 5th byte Serial number bit 0 6th byte Table 3-3 Ethernet MAC address The first bit of the first byte in the Destination address (DA) determines the address to be a Unicast (0) or Multicast frame (1), known as I/G bit indicating individual (0) or group (1). So the 48-bit address space is divided into two portions, Unicast and Multicast.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch - Destination address (DA) — The DA field is used to identify which network device(s) should receive the packet. It is a unique address. Please see the section of MAC addressing. - Source addresses (SA) — The SA field indicates the source node. The SA is always an individual address and the left-most bit in the SA field is always 0.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch How does a MAC work? The MAC sub-layer has two primary jobs to do: 1. Receiving and transmitting data. When receiving data, it parses frame to detect error; when transmitting data, it performs frame assembly. 2. Performing Media access control. It prepares the initiation jobs for a frame transmission and makes recovery from transmission failure.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Ethernet MAC transmits frames in half-duplex and full-duplex ways. In halfduplex operation mode, the MAC can either transmit or receive frame at a moment, but cannot do both jobs at the same time. As the transmission of a MAC frame with the half-duplex operation exists only in the same collision domain, the carrier signal needs to spend time to travel to reach the targeted device.

Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 3-3. Flow Control Flow control is a mechanism to tell the source device stopping sending frame for a specified period of time designated by target device until the PAUSE time expires. This is accomplished by sending a PAUSE frame from target device to source device. When the target is not busy and the PAUSE time is expired, it will send another PAUSE frame with zero time-to-wait to source device.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Frame Reception In essence, the frame reception is the same in both operations of half duplex and full duplex, except that full-duplex operation uses two buffers to transmit and receive the frame independently. The receiving node always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch What if a VLAN tagging is applied? VLAN tagging is a 4-byte long data immediately following the MAC source address. When tagged VLAN is applied, the Ethernet frame structure will have a little change shown as follows. Only two fields, VLAN ID and Tag control information are different in comparison with the basic Ethernet frame. The rest fields are the same.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch The maximum length of the extension is equal to the quantity (slotTime minFrameSize). The MAC continues to monitor the medium for collisions while it is transmitting extension bits, and it will treat any collision that occurs after the threshold (slotTime) as a late collision. 3-4.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Fig.3-5 Collision Domain Extended Distance Limitations: The diameter of a half-duplex LAN segment is determined by its maximum propagation delay time. For example, in 10M LAN, the most distance of a LAN segment using yellow cable is 2500 meters and 185 meters when using coaxial cable. The switch with its per port per collision domain can extend the distance like a bridge does.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Fig. 3-6 How does a switch operate? A Layer 2 switch uses some features of the Data Link layer in OSI model to forward the packet to the destination port(s). Here we introduce some important features of a switch and how they work.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Mac address aging There is a field in MAC address table used to put the entry’s Age time which determines how long a MAC entry can reside in a switch. The age time is refreshed when a packet with that SA. Usually, the age time is programmable. Transmission schedule In most layer 2 switches, the QoS is supported. QoS in a switch must associate a transmission schedule to transmit the packet.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 3-5. Virtual LAN What is a VLAN? It is a subset of a LAN. Before we discuss VLAN, we must understand what LAN is. In general, a LAN is composed of different physical network segments bridged by switches or bridges which attach to end stations in the same broadcast domain. The traffic can reach any station on the same LAN. Beyond this domain, the traffic cannot go without router’s help. This also implies that a LAN is limited.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Fig. 3-8 Now we apply VLAN technology to configure the system shown as the figure above. We can partition the users into the different logical networks which have their own broadcast domain. The traffic will not disturb among these logical networks. The users 1x (x denotes a ~ d) are members of VLAN 1. Any traffic within VLAN 1 does not flow to VLAN 2 and others.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch There are many types of VLAN applied. Most popular is port-based VLAN, tag-based VLAN and protocol-based VLAN. Port-based VLAN Some physical ports are configured as members of a VLAN. All stations attached on these ports can communicate with each other. Tag-based VLAN It identifies the membership by VLAN ID, no matter where the packet comes from. It is also referred to as 802.1Q VLAN.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch VLAN-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN tag field, contains VLAN identification without the value of 0 and 4095, and priority information. Priority-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN tag field, contains VLAN identification with the value of 0 and priority information. Untagged frame: An Ethernet frame carries no VLAN tag information. VLAN Identifier: Also referred to as VID.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Ingress Rule: Each packet received by a VLAN-aware bridge will be classified to a VLAN. The classification rule is described as follows. 1. If the VID of the packet is null VID (VID=0)or this packet is an untagged packet: a. If there are still some other ways(e.g. protocol, MAC address, application, IP-subnet, etc.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch How does a Tagged VLAN work? If the ingress filtering is enabled and when a packet is received, VLAN bridge will first check if the VID of the packet presents. 1). If the packet has a non-zero VID, VLAN bridge will apply this VID as the VLAN ID of the packet in the network. 2). For a packet with null tag or no VLAN tag, if VLAN bridge provides rules to decide its VID, then apply this VID to the packet.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch 3-6. Link Aggregation Basically, Link Aggregation is to aggregate the bandwidth of more than one port to an assigned logical link. This highly increases total bandwidth to the targeted device. There is more than one Link Aggregation technology in many vendors’ switch products already, which may cause the problem of interoperability. This is the reason why now we have 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Why 802.
Signamax™ 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Web Smart Switch Terminology Link Aggregation: It is a method to have multiple physical links with the same media and speed bundled to be a logical link forming a Link Aggregation Group with a group ID. With the viewpoint of MAC client, each Link Aggregation Group is an independent link. There are three cases of link used in the network, which are switch to switch, switch to station and station to station. Here station may be a host or a router.
