User Manual Managed Switches 1. About this Manual Thank you for purchasing a Weidmüller managed Industrial Ethernet switch. Read this user’s manual to learn how to connect your Weidmüller switch to Ethernet-enabled devices used for industrial applications. The following chapters are covered in this user manual: Getting Started This chapter explains how to connect to the Weidmüller Switch for configuration.
User Manual Managed Switches 2. Getting Started In this chapter we explain how to install a Weidmüller switch for the first time. There are three ways to access the Weidmüller switch’s configuration settings: serial console, Telnet console, or web console. If you do not know the Weidmüller switch’s IP address, you can open the serial console by connecting the Weidmüller switch to a PC’s COM port with a short serial cable. You can open the Telnet or web console over an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet.
User Manual Managed Switches 2.1 Serial Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100) Note about simultaneously connections You cannot connect to the Ethernet Switch simultaneously by serial console and Telnet. You can connect to the Ethernet Switch simultaneously by web browser and serial console or by web browser and Telnet. However, we strongly suggest that you do NOT use more than one connection method at the same time.

Selection of used redundancy protocol Turbo Ring V1 or Turbo Ring V2 if enabled in this menu. By default Turbo Ring V2 is activated and will be used when configuring Turbo Ring redundancy by DIP switches (as shown in above screenshot).
User Manual Managed Switches If DIP switch 4 is set to ON then the Webinterface menu ‘Communication Redundancy’ is locked, showing the selected Turbo Ring version. DIP switch 4 overrules the redundancy settings of the Webinterface. The role of the switch (Master yes/no, Coupler yes/no) will be set by DIP switches 2 and 3. Behavior of DIP Switch settings when protocol is set to ‘Turbo Ring V1’ DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3 ON: Enables this ON: Enables the SWITCH as the Ring default “Ring Master.
User Manual Managed Switches If you do not enable any of the managed Weidmüller Ethernet Switches to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the Ethernet Switch with the smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one Ethernet Switch to be the Ring Master, these switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be the Ring Master.

User Manual Managed Switches 3.1.10.2 Using Port Access Control The Weidmüller Premium Line switches provide two kinds of Port-Based Access Control: Static Port Lock IEEE 802.1X Static Port Lock In this case the Weidmüller switch can be configured to protect static MAC addresses for a specific port. With the Port Lock function, these locked ports will not learn any additional addresses, but only allow traffic from preset static MAC addresses, helping to block hackers and careless usage.
User Manual Managed Switches 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.
User Manual Managed Switches Configuring Static Port Lock The Weidmüller switch supports adding unicast groups manually if required. Static Unicast MAC Address Setting Description Factory Default MAC Address Add the static unicast MAC address into the address table. None Port Associates the static address with a dedicated port. 1 Configuring IEEE 802.

User Manual Managed Switches 3.1.11 Restart This function is used to restart the Ethernet Switch. 3.1.12 Factory Default This function provides users with a quick way of restoring the Weidmüller switch’s configuration to factory defaults. The function is available in the serial, Telnet, and web consoles. NOTE: After restoring the factory default configuration, you will need to use the default network settings to re-establish the web or Telnet console connection with the Weidmüller switch. 3.1.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.2 Using Port Trunking Port Trunking is only available for Weidmüller Premium Line managed switches. 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 Weidmüller switch's Port Trunking feature allows devices to communicate by aggregating up to 4 trunk groups, with a maximum of 8 ports for each group.
User Manual Managed Switches After port trunking has been activated, you can configure these settings again for each trunking port. 3.2.1 Port Trunking Settings The Port Trunking Settings page is used to assign ports to a Trunk Group. Step 1: Select the desired Trunk Group (Trk1, Trk2, Trk3, Trk4) from the drop-down box . Step 2: Select Static, or LACP from the Trunk Type drop-down box. Step 3: Select the desired ports under Available Ports and click Up to add to the Trunk group.
User Manual Managed Switches Available Ports/Member Ports Setting Description Factory Default Member/Available ports Lists the ports in the current trunk group and the ports that are available to be added. N/A Check box Selects the port to be added or removed from the group. Unchecked Port Port number. N/A Port description Displays the media type for each port. N/A Name Displays the specified name for each port.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.3 Configuring SNMP Weidmüller managed Switches supports SNMP V1, V2c, and 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 strings public and private by default. SNMP V3 requires that you select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, and is the most secure protocol. You can also enable data encryption to enhance data security.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.3.1 SNMP Read/Write Settings SNMP Versions Setting Description Factory Default Specifies the SNMP protocol version used to manage the switch.
User Manual Managed Switches Max. 30 characters Specifies the community string to authenticate the SNMP agent for read-only access. The SNMP agent will access all objects with read-only permissions using this community string. Public V1, V2c Write/Read Community Setting Description Factory Default Max. 30 characters Specifies the community string to authenticate the SNMP agent for read/write access. The SNMP server will access all objects with read/write permissions using this community string.
User Manual Managed Switches SHA-Auth Authentication will be based on the HMAC-SHA algorithms. 8-character passwords are the minimum requirement for authentication. No User Data Encryption Key (for SNMP V1, V2c, V3 and V3 only) Setting Description Factory Default Enable Enables data encryption using the specified data encryption key (between 8 and 30 characters). No Disable No data encryption No 3.3.
User Manual Managed Switches 1st Trap Server IP/Name Setting Description Factory Default IP or name Specifies the IP address or name of the primary trap server used by your network. None Setting Description Factory Default character string Specifies the community string to use for authentication (maximum of 30 characters).
User Manual Managed Switches 3.4 Using PoE (PoE Models Only) Power over Ethernet has become increasingly popular due in large part to the reliability provided by PoE Ethernet switches that supply the necessary power to Powered Devices (PD) when AC power is not readily available or cost-prohibitive to provide locally.
User Manual Managed Switches Port Setting Enable Setting Description Factory Default Checked Allows data and power transmission through the port Enable Unchecked Immediately shuts off port access Enable Setting Description Factory Default Auto The amount of power assigned is determined according to the class that is read from the powered device. Auto Manual The user can set the power limit value that indicates the maximum amount of power available to the port.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.4.2 PoE Timetabling Powered devices usually do not need to be running 24 hours a day, 7days a week. The PoE Ethernet switch provides a PoE timetabling mechanism to let users set a flexible working schedule for each PoE port to economize the system’s power burden.
User Manual Managed Switches Consumption (W) Indicates the actual Power consumed value for PoE port Voltage (V) Indicates the actual Voltage consumed value for PoE port Current (mA) Indicates the actual Current consumed value for PoE port 3.4.4 PoE Email Warning Events Settings Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices do not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.5 Communication redundancy 3.5.1 Introduction to Communication Redundancy Setting up Communication Redundancy on your network helps protect critical links against failure, protects against network loops, and keeps network downtime at a minimum. Communication Redundancy allows you to set up redundant loops in the network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently disconnected or damaged.
User Manual Managed Switches Note: 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 eg. port 1 gets disconnected, the remaining trunked port 2 will share the traffic.
User Manual Managed Switches When the Number of Switches in the Turbo Ring (V1) is Even "Turbo Ring (V1)" with an even number of switches Master If there are 2N switches (an even number) in the "Turbo Ring", then the backup segment is one of the two segments connected to the (N+1) st switch (i.e., the switch unit directly opposite the master).
User Manual Managed Switches 3.5.2.2 Ring Coupling Configuration In some applicaions it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to form one large redundant ring, though some devices are located in a remote area. For these systems, “Ring Coupling” can be used to separate the devices into different smaller redundant rings, but in such a way that they can still communicate with each other.
User Manual Managed Switches Note that the ring coupling settings for a “Turbo Ring V2” are different from a “Turbo Ring”. For Turbo Ring V2, Ring Coupling is enabled by configuring the “Coupling Port” (Primary) on Switch B, and the “Coupling Port” (Backup) on Switch A only. You do not need to set up a coupling control port, so that a “Turbo Ring V2” does not use a coupling control line.
User Manual Managed Switches Dual-Homing for a "Turbo Ring V2" Master Primary Path Ring A Ring B Backup Path Master 3.5.3 Configuring “Turbo Ring (V1)” and “Turbo Ring V2” Use the Communication Redundancy page to select “Turbo Ring (V1)”, “Turbo Ring V2”, or “Turbo Chain”. Note that configuration pages for these three protocols are different. 3.5.3.1 Configuring Turbo Ring (V1, original version) 1. Select Turbo Ring in field Redundancy protocol. 2.
User Manual Managed Switches Explanation of “Current Status” Items Now Active It shows which communication protocol is in use: RSTP, Turbo Ring( V1), Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain or none. Master/Slave It indicates whether this switch is the Master (or not) of the Turbo Ring. This field appears only when Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 modes are selected. NOTE: The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring.
User Manual Managed Switches Coupling Control Port Setting Coupling Control Port Description Factory Default Select any port of the switch to be the coupling control See the following port table Below table lists the default coupling ports dependent on the used models.
User Manual Managed Switches NOTE: When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2. In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.” Explanation of “Current Status” Items Now Active It shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain, RSTP, or none. Ring 1/2—Status It shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is active.

Model All models Default Dual Homing (Primary) Default Dual Homing (Backup) Port 1 Port 2 NOTE: The Turbo Ring DIP switches, located on top of the housing, alternatively can be used to configure the Turbo Ring protocols.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.5.4 The Turbo Chain Concept Turbo Chain is an advanced software-technology that gives network administrators the flexibility of constructing any type of redundant network topology. When using the “Turbo Chain” concept, you first connect the Ethernet switches in a chain and then simply link the two ends of the chain to an Ethernet network, as illustrated in the following figure. Turbo Chain can be used on industrial networks that have a complex topology.
User Manual Managed Switches packets are transmitted through the Head Port to the attached network. If any Turbo Chain path is disconnected, the Tail Port will be activated so that packet transmission can continue. There is no need to change anything in the configuration of the network on which the Turbo Chain switches will be attached. 3.5.5.1 Head Switch Configuration 3.5.5.2 Member Switch Configuration 3.5.5.
User Manual Managed Switches Explanation of “Current Status” Item Now Active It shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring V1, 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.
User Manual Managed Switches IE-SW-VL05M/08M Series IE-SW-PL06M/08M/09M/16M Series IE-SW-PL18M Series IE-SW-PL10M Series The second port from the last port The last port of the switch (highest number port number) Port G1 Port G2 Port G2 Port G3 3.5.6 STP / RSTP 3.5.6.1 The STP / RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures on a network, and provide an automatic means of avoiding loops.
User Manual Managed Switches L A N Bridge B Bridge A 1 L A N Bridge C 2 L A N If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of the paths from forwarding 3 traffic. In the following example, STP determined that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through bridges C and A since this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient.
User Manual Managed Switches 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. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through bridge B. After the failure of bridge C, STP re-evaluated the situation and opened the path through Bridge B. 3.5.6.
User Manual Managed Switches transmitted in the direction of the Root Bridge will flow through the Designated Bridge. The port on this bridge that connects to the segment is called the Designated Bridge Port. STP Configuration After all of the bridges on the network agree on the identity of the Root Bridge, and all other relevant parameters have been established, each bridge is configured to forward traffic only between its Root Port and the Designated Bridge Ports for the respective network segments.
User Manual Managed Switches 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. Port 1 on Bridge A is selected as the Designated Bridge Port for LAN Segment 1. Ports 1 of Bridges B, C, X, and Y are all Root Ports since they are nearest to the Root Bridge, and therefore have the most efficient path.
User Manual Managed Switches To avoid subdividing VLANs, all inter-switch connections should be made members of all available 802.1Q VLANs. This will ensure connectivity at all times. For example, the connections between switches A and B, and between switches A and C, should be 802.1Q tagged and carrying VLANs 1 and 2 to ensure connectivity. 3.5.7 Configuring STP / RSTP The following figures indicate which Spanning Tree Protocol parameters can be configured.
User Manual Managed Switches At the top of this page, the user can check the Current Status of this function. For RSTP, you will see: Root/Not Root This field only appears when RSTP mode is selected. The field indicates whether or not this switch 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.
User Manual Managed Switches NOTE: 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. Edge Port Setting Auto Force Edge False Description Factory Default 1. If the port does not receive a BPDU within 3 seconds, the port will be in the forwarding state. 2. Once the port receives a BPDU, it will start the RSTP negotiation process.
User Manual Managed Switches 2 x (Forwarding Delay – 1 sec) = 6 sec. You can remedy the situation in many ways. One solution is simply to increase the Forwarding Delay value to at least 11 sec. Perform the following steps to avoid repetitive approach: Step 1: Assign a value to “Hello Time” and then calculate the left most part of rule 4 to get the lower limit of “Max. Age”. Step 2: Assign a value to “Forwarding Delay” and then calculate the right most part of rule 4 to get the upper limit for “Max. Age”.
User Manual Managed Switches Traffic prioritization uses the four traffic queues that are present in your Weidmüller managed Switch 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. Weidmüller managed Switch traffic prioritization depends on two industry-standard methods: IEEE 802.1D A layer 2 marking scheme. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) A layer 3 marking scheme. IEEE 802.
User Manual Managed Switches DiffServ is a Layer 3 marking scheme that uses the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) field in the IP header to store the packet priority information. DSCP is an advanced intelligent method of traffic marking that allows you to choose how your network prioritizes different types of traffic. DSCP uses 64 values that map to user-defined service levels, allowing you to establish more control over network traffic. The advantages of DiffServ over IEEE 802.
User Manual Managed Switches Strict: This method services high traffic queues first; low priority queues are delayed until no more high priority data needs to be sent. The Strict method always gives precedence to high priority over low priority. 3.6.2 Configuring Traffic Prioritization Quality of Service (QoS) provides a traffic prioritization capability to ensure that important data is delivered consistently and predictably. The Weidmüller switch can inspect IEEE 802.
User Manual Managed Switches Queuing Mechanism – Type 1 Factory Default Setting Description Weight Fair The Weidmüller switch has 4 priority queues. In the weight fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities.

User Manual Managed Switches Communication between VLANs If devices connected to a VLAN need to communicate to devices on a different VLAN, a router or Layer 3 switching device with connections to both VLANs needs to be installed. Communication between VLANs can only take place if they are all connected to a routing or Layer 3 switching device. VLANs: Tagged and Untagged Membership The Weidmüller switch supports 802.
User Manual Managed Switches 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.

User Manual Managed Switches 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 Weidmüller switch. 3.8.1 The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts. Only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will receive the multicast.
User Manual Managed Switches Network without multicast filtering All hosts receive the multicast traffic, even if they don’t need it. Network with multicast filtering Hosts only receive dedicated traffic from other hosts belonging to the same group. The Weidmüller switch 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.
User Manual Managed Switches Snooping Mode Snooping Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports. The switch "snoops" on exchanges between hosts and an IGMP device, such as a router, to find those ports that want to join a multicast group, and then configure its filters accordingly. IGMP Snooping Enhanced Mode Snooping Enhanced Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets to the Weidmüller switch member port only.
User Manual Managed Switches IGMP Version Main Features Reference V1 Periodic query RFC-1112 V2 Compatible with V1 and adds: RFC-2236 • Group-specific query • Leave group messages • Resends specific queries to verify leave message was the last one in the group • Querier election GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) Weidmüller managed switches support IEEE 802.1D-1998 GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), which differs from IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol).
User Manual Managed Switches IGMP Snooping Enable Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Checkmark the IGMP Snooping Enable checkbox to enable the IGMP Snooping function globally. Disabled Setting Description Factory Default Numerical value, input by the user Sets the query interval of the Querier function globally. Valid settings are from 20 to 600 seconds.
User Manual Managed Switches Querier Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Select the option to enable the querier function. Enabled if IGMP Snooping is enabled globally Static Multicast Querier Port Setting Description Factory Default Select/Deselect Select the ports that will connect to the multicast routers. These ports will receive all multicast packets from the source. This option is only active when IGMP Snooping is enabled.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.8.4 Static Multicast MAC Addresses If required, the Weidmüller switch 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 MAC Address Setting Description Factory Default Integer Input the number of the VLAN that the host with this MAC address belongs to.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.8.5 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. GMRP enable Setting Description Factory Default Enable/Disable Select the option to enable the GMRP function for the port listed in the Port column Disable 3.8.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.9 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.
User Manual Managed Switches Policy Description Limit All Select the ingress rate limit for different packet types from the following options: Not Limited, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M Limit Broadcast, Multicast, Flooded Unicast Limit Broadcast, Multicast Limit Broadcast Factory Default Limit Broadcast 8M Egress Rate Limit –Normal – Type 1 Egress Rate Limit –Normal – Type 1 Setting Description Factory Default Egress rate Select the egress rate limit (% of max.

IP Client-ID Uses a combination of the switch’s MAC address and IP address as the remote ID sub. IP Other Uses the user-designated ID sub.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.13 Using Diagnosis The Weidmüller switch provides three important tools for administrators to diagnose network systems. 3.13.1 Mirror Port The Mirror port function can be used to monitor data being transmitted through a specific port. This is done by setting up another port (the mirror port) to receive the same data being transmitted from, or both to and from, the port under observation.
User Manual Managed Switches When using the Console interface, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press Enter. You should receive the Mirror port settings are now active! (Press any key to continue) message. 3.13.2 Ping The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network problems.
User Manual Managed Switches From the switch's web interface, users have the option of either enabling or disabling the LLDP, as well as setting the LLDP transmit interval (as shown in the figure below). In addition, users are able to view each switch's neighbor-list, which is reported by its network neighbors.
User Manual Managed Switches 3.14 Using Monitor You can monitor statistics in real time from the Weidmüller switch’s web console and serial console. 3.14.1 Monitor by Switch Access the Monitor by selecting "System" from the left selection bar. Monitor by System allows the user to view a graph that shows the combined data transmission activity of all of the switch's ports.
User Manual Managed Switches graph is updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in real-time. 3.14.3 Monitor by SFP Optical fiber is commonly used for long distance data transmission. However, when link issues occur, it is very costly to trouble shoot the fiber cable and fiber transceiver at remote sites.
User Manual Managed Switches NOTE: Certain tolerances exist between real data and measured data. Parameters Tolerance Temperature (°C) ± 3°C Voltage (V) ± 0.1V Tx power (dBm) ± 3dB Rx power (dBm) ± 3dB 3.15 Using the MAC Address Table This section explains the information provided by the Weidmüller switch’s MAC address table.

User Manual Managed Switches 3.16.2 Syslog Settings This function provides the event logs for the syslog server. The function supports 3 configurable syslog servers and syslog server UDP port numbers. When an event occurs, the event will be sent as a syslog UDP packet to the specified syslog servers. The log data which will be sent to a syslog server is the same as created for the internal Event Log.
User Manual Managed Switches 4. Using Industrial Protocols 4.1 MODBUS/TCP MAP Introduction MODBUS TCP is a protocol commonly used for the integration of a SCADA system. It is also a vendor-neutral communication protocol used to monitor and control industrial automation equipment such as PLCs, sensors, and meters. In order to be fully integrated into industrial systems, Weidmüller’s switches support Modbus TCP/IP protocol for real-time monitoring in a SCADA system.
User Manual Managed Switches The data map addresses of Weidmüller switches shown in the following table start from MODBUS address 30001 for Function Code 4. For example, the address offset 0x0000 (hex) equals MODBUS address 30001, and the address offset 0x0010 (hex) equals MODBUS address 30017. Note that all the information read from Weidmüller switches are in hex mode. To interpret the information, refer to the ASCII table for the translation (e.g. 0x4D = ‘M’, 0x6F = ‘o’).
