ABOUT THIS GUIDE Congratulations on your purchase of the TEG-240WS 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch w/ 2 Shared Mini-GBIC Slots. This device integrates 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet network capabilities in a highly flexible package. Purpose This guide discusses how to install your TEG-240WS 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch w/ 2 Shared Mini-GBIC Slots.
INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the TEG-240WS 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch w/ 2 Shared Mini-GBIC Slots and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching technology. Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies.
Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) A VLAN is a group of end-stations that are not constrained by their physical location and can communicate as if a common broadcast domain, a LAN. The primary utility of using VLAN is to reduce latency and need for routers, using faster switching instead. Other VLAN utility includes: Security, Security is increased with the reduction of opportunity in eavesdropping on a broadcast network because data will be switched to only those confidential users within the VLAN.
Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode ports Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Supports IEEE 802.1p Priority Queues Supports Static Port Trunk Supports IGMP Snooping Supports SNMP for RFC1213 MIB II and Private MIB Supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Supports 802.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the Switch. Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting. When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching. Figure 1.

Or it sets to Disable; there is either no flow control or other hardware/software management. When the port is set to forced mode, then the flow control will automatically set to Disable. QoS: Displays each port’s 802.1p QoS priority level for received data packet handling. Default setting for all ports is Middle.
Asymmetric VLAN function. Figure 18. Enabled Asymmetric VLAN function Figure 19. Change setting warning message Note: The Settings of VLAN, IGMP Snooping and Forwarding Table will be reset to default. Untag Asymmetric VLAN Setting: The IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Configuration page provides powerful VID management functions. The original default VLAN setting has the VID as 01, named “default”, and contains all ports as “Untagged”.
Figure 20. 802.1Q Asymmetric VLAN Setting Add VID: Click to create a new VID group, assigning ports 1 ~ 24 as Untag, Tag, or Not Member. A port can be “Untagged” in only one VID. To save the VID group, press Apply. Figure 21. Add New VID VID: A unique VLAN ID. VLAN Name: A VLAN name is used to associate with the VLAN ID. Port: The switch port number. Untag: Outgoing frames without VLAN tag. Tag: Outgoing frames with VLAN tag. Not Member: The port number which not to be grouped.
Apply: To activate and save the modifications. Delete: Click to delete selected VID. Figure 22. Delete VID To change exist IEEE 802.1Q VLAN setting, press the VID to modify that IEEE 802.1Q VLAN setting. Figure 23. Modify VID PVID settings: While receiving an untagged frame from the port, the switch will assign a tag to the frame, using the PVID of the port as its VID. Figure 24.
Example 1: Here is an example of two VLAN groups with several ports in each group and VLAN 1 (VID 01) does not have communication with VLAN 2 (VID 02). Figure 25. Step1: Set VLAN1 port 9~24 to “Not Member”, then apply setting. Figure 26. Step2: Create VID 02 and set port 9~24 to “Untag Port” member, then apply setting. Figure 27.
Example2: 802.1Q Asymmetric VLAN settings example: Port 1~16 in VLAN 1, port1~5 in VLAN 2, port1,6~9 in VLAN 3. All VLAN1~3 have access to Internet via port 1. Figure 28. Note: The multi-need server must be support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Step1: Enable Asymmetric VLAN function. Figure 29. Step2: Set VLAN1 port 1~24 to “Untag” ports, then apply setting. Figure 30.
Step3: Create VID 02 and set port 1~5 to “Untag” ports and port 6~24 to “Not Member” ports, then apply setting. Figure 31. Step4: Create VID03 and set port 1 and 6~9 to “Untag” ports, then apply setting. Figure 32. Step5: Set PVID Port 3~9 PVID value to below list: Figure 33.
Note: 1. Untag port VLAN member can exist in different VLAN groups simultaneously when Asymmetric VLAN function enabled. 2. You must create VLAN and add VLAN member first that just can set PVID setting. 3. You must change Untag Port PVID to another existent VLAN ID that just can remove Untag port member from VLAN group Tag VLAN Setting The IEEE802.1Q protocol defines a new format of the frame; it adds a tag header in the original Ethernet frame, as follows: IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN is divided by VLAN ID (VID).
Example 3: Create two VLAN groups for Tag ports multi-need server application setting and two VLAN clients cannot negotiate to each other. (Asymmetric VLAN function disabled) Step1: Set VLAN1 port 1 to “Tag” and port 9~24 to “Not Member”, then apply setting. Figure 35. Step 2: Create VID 02 and set port 1 to “Tag” port and port 9~24 to “Untag” ports, then apply setting. Figure 36. Note: The multi-need server must be support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, the sever uplink port is port1.
Example 4: Setting Tag VLAN on two switches. Switch 1’s VLAN 1 (2 ~ 3 ports) have access to the Switch 2’s VLAN 1 (2 ~ 3 ports). The settings of VLAN group for two devices are same. Step1: Set Switch1’s VLAN1 port 1and 4~24 to “Not Member”, then apply setting. Figure 37. Step2: Set Switch2’s VLAN1 member as Switch1. Step3: Uplink two switches via Port 24.
Trunk Setting The Trunking function enables the cascading of two or more ports for a combined larger bandwidth. Up to six Trunk groups may be created, each supporting up to 8 ports. Add a Trunking Name and select the ports to be trunked together, and click Apply to activate the selected Trunking groups. Figure 38. Trunk Configuration Be sure that the selected trunk setting port must connect to the device with a same VLAN group.
Mirror Setting Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of the Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. This enables network managers to better monitor network performances. Figure 39. Mirror Setting Selection of the Sniffer mode is as follow: TX (transmit) mode: this mode will duplicate the data transmit from the source port and forward to the Sniffer port.
IEEE 802.1p Default Priority This feature displays the status Quality of Service priority levels of each port, and for packets that are untagged, the switch will assign the priority in the tag depending on your configuration. Figure 40 IEEE 802.
Broadcast Storm Control Setting The Broadcast Storm Control feature provides the ability to control the receive rate of broadcasted packets. If Enabled (default is Disabled), threshold settings of 8,000 ~ 4,096,000 bytes per second can be assigned. Press Apply for the settings to take effect. Figure 18. Broadcast Storm Control Setting Jumbo Frame Setting Jumbo Frames enable the transportation of identical data in fewer frames. This ensures less overhead, lower processing time, and fewer interruptions.
Advanced Setting Find that there are four items, including SNMP Setting, Spanning Tree Setting, 802.3x Setting and IGMP Snooping Setting in Advanced menu. SNMP Setting The Web Smart Switch supports SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device.
SNMP Setting: Enable or Disable the SNMP function on the Web Smart Switch. Community Setting: In support of SNMP version 1, the Web-Smart Switch accomplishes user authentication by using Community Settings that function as passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string. SNMP packets from a station that are not authenticated are ignored (dropped).
Spanning Tree Setting The Web Smart Switch supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) implementation is designed to prevent network loops that could cause a broadcast storm. When the physical links forming a loop provide redundancy, only a single path will be forwarding frames. If the link fails, STP activates a redundant link automatically. Figure 21. Spanning Tree Setting 802.11D Spanning Tree: Enable or Disable the 802.11D Spanning function on the Web Smart Switch.
Bridge Max Age: This value may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate through redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective propagation of the new information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining that the Switch has spanning tree configuration values consistent with other devices on the bridged LAN.
802.1x Setting The IEEE 802.1x provides a security standard for network access control. 802.1x holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. Depending on the results, the port is either made available to the user, or the user is denied access to the network. 802.1X uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for passing authentication messages. Figure 22. 802.1x Setting Enable: Enable or Disable the 802.11x function on the Web Smart Switch.
Authentication Port: Sets primary port for security monitoring. Default is 1812. Key/Confirm Key: Masked password matching the Radius Server Key. TxPeriod: Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the request. Default is 24 seconds. ReAuthEnabled: This Enable or Disable the periodic ReAuthentication control. When the 802.1X function is Enabled, the ReAuthEnabled function is by default also Enabled.
IGMP Snooping Setting With Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping, the Web-Smart Switch can make intelligent multicast forwarding decisions by examining the contents of each frame’s Layer 2 MAC header. IGMP snooping can help reduce cluttered traffic on the LAN. With IGMP snooping enabled globally, the Web-Smart Switch will forward IP multicast traffic only to connections that have group members attached. Figure 23.
Query Interval (60-600 sec): The Query Interval is the interval between General Queries sent. By adjusting the Query Interval, the number of IGMP messages can increase or decrease; larger values cause IGMP Queries to be sent less often. Default is 125 seconds. Max Response Time (10-25 sec): The Max Response Time specifies the maximum allowed time before sending a responding report.
Router Timeout (60-600 sec): This is the interval after which a learnt router port entry will be purged. For each router port learnt, a 'RouterPortPurgeTimer' runs for 'RouterPortPurgeInterval'. This timer will be restarted whenever a router control message is received over that port. If no router control messages are received for 'RouterPortPurgeInterval' time, the learnt router port entry will be purged. Default is 125 seconds.
Figure 25. IGMP-Router Port Setting To view the Multicast Entry Table for a given VLAN, press the View button. Figure 26.
System Setting Find that there are nine items, including System Information, System Setting, Trap Setting, Password Setting, Statistics, Factory Reset, Backup Setting, Firmware Upload and System Reboot in System menu.
System Setting The System Setting includes IP Information and System information. There are two ways for the switch to attain IP: Static and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). When using static mode, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway can be manually configured. When using DHCP mode, the Switch will first look for a DHCP server to provide it with an IP address, network mask, and default gateway before using the default or previously entered settings.
Figure 28.
Trap Setting By configuring the Trap Setting, it allows Web Management Utility to monitor specified events on the Web-Smart Switch. By default, Trap Setting is Disabled. When the Trap Setting is Enabled, enter the Destination IP address of the managing PC that will receive trap information. Figure 29. Trap Setting System Events: Monitoring the system’s trap. Device Bootup: a trap when booting up the system.
Password Setting Setting a password is an invaluable tool for managers to secure the Web Smart Switch. After entering the old password and the new password two times, press Apply for the changes to take effect. If you forget the password, press the “Reset” button in the front panel of the Switch. Note: All current settings will be erased when pressing the “Reset” button. Figure 30.
