MAC Address Learning

This switch uses SVL (Shared VLAN Learning) to learn MAC addresses. SVL is a method that retains a shared MAC address table for the entire switch. It differs from IVL, which retains a MAC address table for each VLAN. Be sure you understand how SVL works before you create a VLAN with the switch.

Differences between Operation of SVL and IVL

SVL

When PC 1 and PC 3 communicate, PC 3 is learned by port 1 on switch 2 so PC 2 and PC 3 cannot communicate.

IVL

When PC 1 and PC 3 communicate, PC 3 is learned by both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 so PC 2 and PC 3 can communicate. However, frames sent from PC 3 to PC 1 are also delivered to PC 2.

ActionConfigure the switch's action when a loop is detected.IgnoreWhen a loop is detected, the switch will do nothing to the port; the diag LED and loop-detected port's LED will blink for the time configured in the Disable for section. If a loop is detected again, it will continue to blink until the loop is resolved.Disable portThe switch will disable the loop-detected port for the amount of time configured in the Disable for section. At the same time, the diag LED and loop-detected port's LED will blink for the time configured in the Disable for section. If a loop is detected again after the time configured in the Disable for section has passed, the switch will disable the loop-detected port until the loop is resolved.
Disable forConfigure the period to disable the loop-detected port when Disable port is selected as the action.
Action (LDF)Check to enable LDF loop detection method. The switch will transmit the LDF packet once per 2 seconds. If the transmitted LDF packet is received, this will assume that a loop is occurring.Note: The following are the LDF packet's source MAC addresses.BS-MP2008: 343DC4370000 (fixed value)BS-MP2012: 343DC4380000 (fixed value)

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

LED Is Not Lit, Abnormal Lighting or Blinking

The power LED is not lit.Confirm that the AC adapter or power cable is connected to the inlet.
The diag LED is blinking red.If it blinks once per a second, a loop is detected. Check the cabling.If your switch has fans and its diag LED is blinking fast, a fan error may be occurring. Disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. If the LED keeps blinking, contact our technical support.
The link/act LED is not lit.Confirm that the Ethernet cable is connected to both the switch and the device.Confirm that the switch and the connected device are both powered on.Confirm that the Ethernet cable type and length is compatible with the switch.Check the communication standards that the connected device is compatible with in order to check if the device can be used with the switch.If the connected device's autonegotiation can be enabled manually, enable it. Also, enable the switch's autonegotiation as well.
Cannot initialize with the reset button on the switch.Confirm whether the physical reset button is enabled in Settings.If the physical reset button is disabled and you forgot the username or password of Settings, contact our technical support.

Cannot Access Settings

• Make sure that your computer is connected to the switch.
- Access Settings with the switch's IP address (192.168.1.254 by default).
- Confirm that the username ("admin" by default) and the password ("password" by default) are correct. If you forgot the username or password, initialize the switch. To initialize the switch, press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds until the diag LED turns red.
- If a proxy server is configured for the web browser, disable the proxy server or add the switch's IP address to the proxy server's exception list.
- Confirm that your computer is connected to the port which belongs to the management VLAN.

Forgot the Username or Password

  • To initialize the switch, press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds until the diag LED turns red.
  • If the physical reset button is disabled and you forgot the username or password for Settings, contact our technical support.
