Preface

Congratulations on your purchase from the Dimension series of switches.

This preface introduces you to the GS-3012F and discusses the conventions of this User's Guide. It also provides information on other related documentation.

About the GS-3012F

There are two GS-3012F models. The GS-3012F DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC, 1.2A Max. The GS-3012F AC model requires 100 240VAC / 1.5A power.

All figures in this guide display the GS-3012F AC model unless specifically noted otherwise.

The GS-3012F Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a managed switch with features ideally suited in an enterprise environment. It can deliver broadband IP services to:

Multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings (hotels, motels, resorts, residential multi-dwelling units, office buildings, educational establishments, etc.)
Public facilities (convention centers, airports, plazas, train stations, etc.)
Enterprises.

It can also be deployed as a mini-POP (point-of-presence) in a building basement delivering 10/100/1000Mbps data service over Category 5 wiring to each customer.

General Syntax Conventions

This guide shows you how to configure the switch using the web configurator and CLI commands. See the online HTML help for information on individual web configurator screens.
Mouse action sequences are denoted using a comma. For example, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network means first you click Start, click or move the mouse pointer over Settings, then click or move the mouse pointer over Control Panel and finally click (or double-click) Network.
“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.
Predefined choices are in Bold Arial font.
Button and field labels, links and screen names in are in Bold Times New Roman font.
For brevity's sake, we will use "e.g." as shorthand for "for instance", and "i.e." as shorthand for "that is" or "in other words" throughout this manual.
The ZyXEL Dimension GS-3012F Gigabit Ethernet Switch will be referred to as the “GS-3012F”, the “GS” or, simply, as “the switch” in this User’s Guide.

Part I

Features and Applications

This part acquaints you with the features and applications of the GS-3012F.

Chapter 1

Getting to Know the GS-3012F

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the GS-3012F.

1.1 Introduction

The GS-3012F is a layer 2 stand-alone Gigabit Ethernet switch with 12 mini GBIC slots for optical uplinking, four 10/100/1000Mbps ports and one console port and RJ-45 port for local management.

With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port-level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the console port, or third-party SNMP management.

1.2 Features

The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the GS-3012F.

1.2.1 Hardware Features

Power

The GS-3012F DC model requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC, 1.2A Max. The GS-3012F AC model requires 100 240VAC / 1.5A power.

12 Mini GBIC Slots

These are slots for mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. These allow the GS-3012F to connect to another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.

Four 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ports (with four paired with the mini GBIC ports)

Connect up to four computers or switches directly to the 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing (auto-MDIX) Gigabit ports. All ports support:

IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards

Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode

Console Port

Use the console port for local management of the switch.

One Management Port

Use the RJ-45 management port for local switch management only.

Fans

The fans cool the GS-3012F sufficiently to allow reliable operation of the switch in even poorly ventilated rooms or basements.

1.2.2 Firmware Features

Secure SHell communication protocol

Port-based VLAN
802.1x Authentication
Static MAC address filtering

Port Link Aggregation

The GS-3012F adheres to the 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic port link aggregation.

Bandwidth Control

The GS-3012F supports rate limiting in 1Mbps increments allowing you to create different service plans
The GS-3012F supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your switch.
Broadcast storm control

Quality of Service

Eight priority queues so you can ensure mission-critical data gets delivered on time.
Follows the IEEE 802.1p priority setting.
Advanced policy-based traffic shaping.

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid STP)

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

Cluster Management

Cluster Management allows you to manage switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able to communicate with one another.

1.3 Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the GS-3012F in various network environments.

1.3.1 Backbone Application

In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.

The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the switch's ports or connect other switches to the GS-3012F.

In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the GS-3012F can share super high-speed applications on the Gigabit server.

To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, print servers etc.

Figure 1-1 Backbone Application

1.3.2 Bridging Example

In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the switch. You can provide a superfast uplink connection by installing the transceiver(s) in the mini GBIC slots on the GS-3012F.

Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.

Figure 1-2 Bridging Application

Full-duplex mode operation only applies to point-to-point access (for example, when attaching the switch to a workstation, server, or another switch). When connecting to hubs, use a standard cascaded connection set at half-duplex operation.

1.3.3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Example

The switch is ideal for connecting two power workgroups that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use trunking to connect these two power workgroups.

Switching to higher-speed LANs such as FDDI or ATM is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.

The GS-3012F can provide the same bandwidth as FDDI and ATM at much lower cost while still being able to use existing adapters and switches. Moreover, the current LAN structure can be retained as all ports can freely communicate with each other.

Figure 1-3 High Performance Switched Workgroup Application

1.3.4 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Examples

This section shows a workgroup and a shared server example using 802.1Q tagged VLANs. For more information on VLANs, see the Switch Setup section and the VLAN Setup chapter in this User's Guide. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group. A station can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.

Tag-based VLAN Workgroup Example

Ports in the same VLAN group share the same broadcast domain thus increase network performance through reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.

Figure 1-4 VLAN Workgroup Application

VLAN Shared Server Example

Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server, as shown in the following example. In this example, only ports that need access to the server need belong to VLAN 3 while they can belong to other VLAN groups too.

Figure 1-5 Shared Server Using VLAN Example

Part II

Hardware Installation and Connections

This part acquaints you with installation scenarios of the GS-3012F, instructs you on how to make the hardware connections and explains the front panel LEDs.

Chapter 2

Hardware Installation

This chapter shows two switch installation scenarios.

2.1 Installation Scenarios

The switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.

For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.

2.1.1 Desktop Installation Procedure

1. Make sure the switch is clean and dry.
2. Set the switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
3. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.
4. Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5. Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These rubber feet help protect the switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between switches when stacking.

Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet

Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking.

2.1.2 Rack-Mounted Installation

The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting kit.

1. Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the bracket screws smaller than the rack-mounting screws.
2. Attach the other bracket in a similar fashion.

Figure 2-2 Attaching Mounting Brackets and Screws

1. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with the rack-mounting screws.

Figure 2-3 Mounting the ES to an EIA standard 19-inch rack

Chapter 3 Hardware Connections

This chapter acquaints you with the front and rear panels, shows you how to make the connections, install/remove (optional) modules and explains the LEDs.

3.1 SafetyWarnings

The length of exposed (bare) power wire should not exceed 7mm .

Do not use this product near water, for example, in a wet basement.
Only a qualified technician should service or disassemble this device.

3.2 Front Panel

The following figure shows the front panel of the GS-3012F. The front panel contains the switch LEDs, 12 mini GBIC ports, four RJ-45 Gigabit ports, and a console and management port for local management.

Figure 3-1 GS-3012F Front Panel

Table 3-1 GS-3012F: Front Panel

CONNECTOR	DESCRIPTION
12 Mini GBIC Ports	Use mini GBIC transceivers in these slots for fiber-optical connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
Four 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Gigabit Ports	Connect these 1Gbps Electrical Ethernet ports to high-bandwidth backbone network Ethernet switches or use them to daisy-chain other switches.
Console Port	The console port is for local configuration of the switch.
Management Port	Connect to a computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable for local configuration of the switch.

3.2.1 Console Port

For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured to the following parameters:

VT100 terminal emulation

9600 bps

No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

No flow control

Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the GS-3012F switch. Connect the female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

3.2.2 Gigabit Ports

The GS-3012F has four 100/1000Mbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Gigabit ports. The speed of the Gigabit ports can be 100Mbps or 1000Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex (at 100 Mbps) or full duplex.

When auto-negotiation is turned on, a Gigabit port on the GS-3012F negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the GS-3012F determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the GS-3012F's auto-negotiation is turned off, a Gigabit port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.

Four Gigabit ports are paired with the four mini GBIC slots. The switch uses up to one connection for each pair for a total of four possible Gigabit connections (one from each of the four pairs). The mini GBIC ports have priority over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini GBIC port and the corresponding Gigabit port are connected at the same time, the Gigabit port will be disabled.

Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings

The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the GS-3012F are:

• Speed: Auto

Duplex: Auto

• Flow control: On

• Link Aggregation: Disabled

Auto-crossover

All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port connections. Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.

3.2.3 Mini GBIC Slots

These are slots for mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The GS-3012F does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee's INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module's connectors.

Type: SFP connection interface
Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

Transceiver Installation

Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).

1. Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
2. Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
3. The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly.

Figure 3-2 Transceiver Installation Example

Figure 3-3 Installed Transceiver

Transceiver Removal

Use the following steps to remove a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).

1. Open the transceiver's latch (latch styles vary).
2. Pull the transceiver out of the slot.

Figure 3-4 Opening the Transceiver's Latch Example
Figure 3-5 Transceiver Removal Example

3.2.4 Management Port

The MGNT (management) port is used for local management. Connect directly to this port using an Ethernet cable. You can configure the switch via Telnet or the web configurator.

The default IP address of the management port is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

3.3 Rear Panel

The following figure shows the rear panel of the GS-3012F. The rear panel contains the ventilation holes, a connector for external backup power supply (BPS), the power receptacle and the power switch (for DC model).

Figure 3-6 GS-3012F Rear Panel: AC Model
Figure 3-7 GS-3012F Rear Panel: DC Model

3.3.1 Power Connector

Make sure you are using the correct power source as shown on the panel.

To connect the power to the GS-3012F AC unit, insert the female end of power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power cord to a 100~240VAC/1.5A power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).

The GS-3012F DC unit requires DC power supply input of -48 VDC to -60 VDC, 1.2A Max. To connect the power to the unit, insert the one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel and the other end to a power outlet.

3.3.2 External Backup Power Supply Connector

The switch supports external backup power supply (BPS).

The backup power supply constantly monitors the status of the internal power supply. The backup power supply automatically provides power to the switch in the event of a power failure. Once the switch receives power from the backup power supply, it will not automatically switch back to using the internal power supply even when the power is resumed.

3.4 Front Panel LEDs

After you connect the power to the switch, view the LEDs to ensure proper functioning of the switch and as an aid in troubleshooting.

Figure 3-8 Front Panel LEDs

The following table describes the LEDs on the front panel.

3.5 Configuring the GS-3012F

You may use the embedded web configurator or command line interface to configure the switch. If you're using the web configurator, you need Internet Explorer 5.5 and later or Netscape Navigator 6 and later.

You can access the command line interface using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the switch console port (see Section 3.2.1) or access the switch using Telnet.

You can use the "config save" command to save 802.1Q, STP, Cluster and IP configuration changes to non-volatile memory (Flash). These changes are effective after you restart the switch.

However you cannot use "config save" for all other line command configurations. These are saved in volatile memory (DRAM), so are not effective after you restart the switch.

The next part of this guide discusses configuring the switch using the web configurator.

Part III

4.3.1 Change Your Password

After you log in for the first time, it is recommended you change the default Administrator password in the Logins screen. Click Advanced Application, Access Control and then Logins to display the next screen.

Figure 4-3 Web Configurator: Change Password at Login

4.4 Switch Lockout

You are locked out from managing the switch if another administrator is currently logged in. You must wait until he/she has logged out before you can log in.

Moreover, you could lock yourself (and all others) out from the switch by:

1. Deleting the management VLAN (default is VLAN 1).
2. Deleting all port-based VLANs with the CPU port as a member. The "CPU port" is the management port of the switch.
3. Filtering all traffic to the CPU port.
4. Disabling all ports.
5. Assigning minimum bandwidth to the CPU port. If you limit bandwidth to the CPU port, you may find that the switch performs negligibly or not at all.

Be careful not to lock yourself and others out of the switch.

4.5 Resetting the Switch

If you lock yourself (and others) from the switch or forget the switch password, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file.

Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations and the speed of the console port will

be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will also be reset to “1234” and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.

To upload the configuration file, do the following:

1. Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See the chapter on hardware connections for details.
2. Disconnect and reconnect the switch's power to begin a session. When you reconnect the switch's power, you will see the initial screen.
3. When you see the message "Press any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds" press any key to enter debug mode.
4. Type atlc after the "Enter Debug Mode" message.
5. Wait for the "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating XMODEM upload on your terminal.
6. After a successful configuration file upload, type atgo to restart the switch.

6.4 Introduction to VLANs

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.

In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will not see the printers and hard disks of another user in the same building.

VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.

Note that VLAN is unidirectional; it only governs outgoing traffic.

See the VLAN chapter for information on port-based and 802.1Q tagged VLANs.

6.5 IGMP Snooping

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 2236 for information IGMP version 2 and RFC 1112 for IGMP version 1.

A layer-2 switch can passively snoop on IGMP Query, Report and Leave (IGMP version 2) packets transferred between IP multicast routers/switches and IP multicast hosts to learn the IP multicast group membership. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group registration information, and configures multicast accordingly.

Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic, that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, group multicast traffic is only forwarded to ports that are members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your switch.

6.6 Switch Setup Screen

Click Basic Setting and then Switch Setup in the navigation panel display the screen as shown. The VLAN setup screens change depending on whether you choose 802.1Q or Port Based in the VLAN Type field in this screen. Refer to the chapter on VLANs.

Table 6-3 Switch Setup

LABEL	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.
Join Timer	Join Timer sets the duration of the Join Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a Join Period timer. The allowed Join Time range is between 100 and 65535 milliseconds; the default is 200 milliseconds. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.	200 milliseconds (default)
Leave Timer	Leave Timer sets the duration of the Leave Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a single Leave Period timer. Leave Time must be two times larger than Join Timer; the default is 600 milliseconds.	600 milliseconds (default)
Leave All Timer	Leave All Timer sets the duration of the Leave All Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a single Leave All Period timer. Leave All Timer must be larger than Leave Timer; the default is 10000 milliseconds.	10000 milliseconds (default)
Priority Queue Assignment IEEE 802.1p defines up to eight separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that contains bits to define class of service. Frames without an explicit priority tag are given the default priority of the ingress port. Use the next two fields to configure the priority level-to-physical queue mapping. The switch has eight physical queues that you can map to the eight priority levels. On the switch, traffic assigned to higher index queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is dropped if the network is congested. See also Queuing Method and 802.1p Priority in Port Setup for related information.
Priority Level (The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d standard (which incorporates the 802.1p).
Level 7	Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.
Level 6	Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations in delay).
Level 5	Typically used for video that consumes high bandwidth and is sensitive to jitter.
Level 4	Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA (Systems Network Architecture) transactions.
Level 3	Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
Level 2	This is for “spare bandwidth”.
Level 1	This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.
Level 0	Typically used for best-effort traffic.

Name	Enter a descriptive name that identifies this port.
Type	For mini GBIC port, this field displays 1000M. For mini GBIC/Gigabit Ethernet combo port, this field displays 10/100/1000M.
Speed/Duplex	Select the speed and the duplex mode of the connection on this port. Choices are Auto, 10M/Half Duplex, 10M/Full Duplex, 100M/Half Duplex, 100M/Full Duplex, and 1000M/Full Duplex. For mini GBIC ports, select Auto or 1000M/Full Duplex. For mini GBIC/Gigabit Ethernet combo ports, select Auto, 10M/Half Duplex, 10M/Full Duplex, 100M/Half Duplex, 100M/Full Duplex or 1000M/Full Duplex. Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) makes one port able to negotiate with a peer automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support. When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the switch's auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect.

Table 6-5 Port Setup

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Flow Control	A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth and overflows buffer memory causing packet discards and frame losses. Flow Control is used to regulate transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of the receiving port.The switch uses IEEE802.3x flow control in full duplex mode and backpressure flow control in half duplex mode.IEEE802.3x flow control is used in full duplex mode to send a pause signal to the sending port, causing it to temporarily stop sending signals when the receiving port memory buffers fill.Back Pressure flow control is typically used in half duplex mode to send a "collision" signal to the sending port (mimicking a state of packet collision) causing the sending port to temporarily stop sending signals and resend later. Select this option to enable flow control.

Advanced Application 1

This part shows you how to configure the VLAN, Static MAC Forwarding, Filtering, STP and Bandwidth Control Advanced Application screens.

Chapter 7 VLAN

The type of screen you see here depends on the VLAN Type you selected in the Switch Setup screen. This chapter shows you how to configure 802.1Q tagged and port-based VLANs. See the General, Switch and IP Setup chapter for more information.

7.1 Introduction to IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN

Tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC header to identify the VLAN membership of a frame across bridges - they are not confined to the switch on which they were created. The VLANs can be created statically by hand or dynamically through GVRP. The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information that switches need to process the frame across the network. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and contains two bytes of TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier, residing within the type/length field of the Ethernet frame) and two bytes of TCI (Tag Control Information, starts after the source address field of the Ethernet frame).

The CFI (Canonical Format Indicator) is a single-bit flag, always set to zero for Ethernet switches. If a frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to an untagged port. The remaining twelve bits define the VLAN ID, giving a possible maximum number of 4,096 (212) VLANs. Note that user priority and VLAN ID are independent of each other. A frame with VID (VLAN Identifier) of null (0) is called a priority frame, meaning that only the priority level is significant and the default VID of the ingress port is given as the VID of the frame. Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames and value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN configurations are 4,094

TPID 2 Bytes

User Priority 3 Bits

CFI 1 Bit

VLAN ID 12 bits

7.1.1 Forwarding Tagged and Untagged Frames

Each port on the switch is capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. To forward a frame from an 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch to an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch, the switch first decides where to forward the frame and then strips off the VLAN tag. To forward a frame from an 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch to an 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch, the switch first decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the ingress port's default VID. The default PVID is VLAN 1 for all ports, but this can be changed.

7.1.2 Automatic VLAN Registration

GARP and GVRP are the protocols used to automatically register VLAN membership across switches.

GARP

GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) allows network switches to register and de-register attribute values with other GARP participants within a bridged LAN. GARP is a protocol that provides a generic mechanism for protocols that serve a more specific application, for example, GVRP.

GARP Timers

Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values.

GVRP

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol that defines a way for switches to register necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. Enable this function to permit VLANs groups beyond the local switch.

Please refer to the following table for common GARP terminology.

Table 7-1 GARP Terminology

VLAN PARAMETER	TERM	DESCRIPTION
VLAN Type	Permanent VLAN	This is a static VLAN created manually.
	Dynamic VLAN	This is a VLAN configured by a GVRP registration/deregistration process.
VLAN Administrative Control	Registration Fixed	Fixed registration ports are permanent VLAN members.
	Registration Forbidden	Ports with registration forbidden are forbidden to join the specified VLAN.
	Normal Registration	Ports dynamically join a VLAN using GVRP.
VLAN Tag Control	Tagged	Ports belonging to the specified VLAN tag all outgoing frames transmitted.
	Untagged	Ports belonging to the specified don't tag all outgoing frames transmitted.
VLAN Port	Port VID	This is the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames that this port received.
	Acceptable frame type	You may choose to accept both tagged and untagged incoming frames or just tagged incoming frames on a port.
	Ingress filtering	If set, the switch discards incoming frames for VLANs that do not have this port as a member

7.1.3 Port VLAN Trunking

Enable VLAN Trunking on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to pass through that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups on end devices without having to configure the same VLAN groups on intermediary devices.

Refer to the following figure. Suppose you want to create VLAN groups 1 and 2 (V1 and V2) on devices A and B. Without VLAN Trunking, you must configure VLAN groups 1 and 2 on all intermediary switches C, D and E; otherwise they will drop frames with unknown VLAN group tags. However, with VLAN Trunking enabled on a port(s) in each intermediary switch you only need to create VLAN groups in the end devices (A and B). C, D and E automatically allow frames with VLAN group tags 1 and 2 (VLAN groups that are unknown to those switches) to pass through their VLAN trunking port(s).

Figure 7-1 Port VLAN Trunking

7.3 Introduction to Port-based VLANs

Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port.

Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports.

Port-based VLANs are specific only to the switch on which they were created.

The port-based VLAN setup screen is shown next. The CPU management port forms a VLAN with all Gigabit ports.

Chapter 8 Static MAC Forward Setup

Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.

8.1 Introduction to Static MAC Forward Setup

A static MAC address entry is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address learning table. Static MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are setting static MAC addresses for a port. Devices that match static MAC address rules on a port can only receive traffic on that port and cannot receive traffic on other ports. This may reduce unicast flooding.

Chapter 10 Spanning Tree Protocol

This chapter introduces the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

10.1 Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.

10.1.1 STP Terminology

The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree; it is the bridge with the lowest identifier value (MAC address).

Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame onto a LAN through that port. It is assigned according to the speed of the link to which a port is attached. The slower the media, the higher the cost - see the next table.

Table 10-1 STP Path Costs

	LINK SPEED	RECOMMENDED VALUE	RECOMMENDED RANGE	ALLOWED RANGE
Path Cost	4Mbps	250	100 to 1000	1 to 65535
Path Cost	10Mbps	100	50 to 600	1 to 65535
Path Cost	16Mbps	62	40 to 400	1 to 65535
Path Cost	100Mbps	19	10 to 60	1 to 65535
Path Cost	1Gbps	4	3 to 10	1 to 65535
Path Cost	10Gbps	2	1 to 5	1 to 65535

On each bridge, the root port is the port through which this bridge communicates with the root. It is the port on this switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree network.

For each LAN segment, a designated bridge is selected. This bridge has the lowest cost to the root among the bridges connected to the LAN.

10.1.2 How STP Works

After a bridge determines the lowest cost-spanning tree with STP, it enables the root port and the ports that are the designated ports for connected LANs, and disables all other ports that participate in STP. Network packets are therefore only forwarded between enabled ports, eliminating any possible network loops.

STP-aware switches exchange Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) periodically. When the bridged LAN topology changes, a new spanning tree is constructed.

Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root bridge is down. This bridge then initiates negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the network to re-establish a valid network topology.

10.1.3 STP Port States

STP assigns five port states (see next table) to eliminate packet looping. A bridge port is not allowed to go directly from blocking state to forwarding state so as to eliminate transient loops.

Table 10-2 STP Port States

PORT STATE	DESCRIPTION
Disabled	STP is disabled (default).
Blocking	Only configuration and management BPDUs are received and processed.
Listening	All BPDUs are received and processed.
Learning	All BPDUs are received and processed. Information frames are submitted to the learning process but not forwarded.
Forwarding	All BPDUs are received and processed. All information frames are received and forwarded.

10.2STP Status

Click Advanced Application and then Spanning Tree Protocol in the navigation panel to display the STP status as shown in the screen next.

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Spanning Tree Protocol	This field displays Running if STP is activated. Otherwise, it displays Down.
Bridge	Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). Our Bridge is this switch. This switch may also be the root bridge.
Bridge ID	This is the unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of bridge priority plus MAC address. This ID is the same for Root and Our Bridge if the switch is the root switch.
Hello Time (second)	This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits a configuration message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max Age and Forwarding Delay
Max Age (second)	This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
Forwarding Delay (second)	This is the time (in seconds) the root switch will wait before changing states (that is, listening to learning to forwarding).
Cost to Bridge	This is the path cost from the root port on this switch to the root switch.

Table 10-3 Spanning Tree Protocol: Status

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Port ID	This is the priority and number of the port on the switch through which this switch must communicate with the root of the Spanning Tree.
Topology Changed Times	This is the number of times the spanning tree has been reconfigured.
Time Since Last Change	This is the time since the spanning tree was last reconfigured.
Poll Interval(s)	The text box displays how often (in seconds) this screen refreshes. You may change the refresh interval by typing a new number in the text box and then clicking Set Interval.

10.2.1 Configuring STP

To configure STP, click the Configuration link in the Spanning Tree Protocol screen as shown next.

Figure 10-2 Spanning Tree Protocol: Configuration

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 10-4 Spanning Tree Protocol: Configuration

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Active	Select this check box to activate STP.
Bridge Priority	Bridge priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch. The allowed range is 0 to 61440.The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this bridge.Bridge Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines Hello Time, Max Age and Forwarding Delay.
Hello Time	This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units) configuration message generations by the root switch. The allowed range is 1 to 10 seconds.
Max Age	This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch can wait without receiving a BPDU before attempting to reconfigure. All switch ports (except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last BPDU) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the switch ports attached to the network. The allowed range is 6 to 40 seconds.
Forwarding Delay	This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch will wait before changing states. This delay is required because every switch must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result. The allowed range is 4 to 30 seconds.As a general rule:
	2* (Forward Delay - 1) >= Max Age >= 2* (Hello Time + 1)
Port	This field displays the port number.
Active	Select this check box to activate STP on this port.
Priority	Configure the priority for each port here.Priority decides which port should be disabled when more than one port forms a loop in a switch.Ports with a higher priority numeric value are disabled first. The allowed range is between 0 and 255 and default value is 128.
Path Cost	Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that port. It is assigned according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the media, the higher the cost - see Table 10-1 for more information.

Chapter 14

Link Aggregation

This chapter shows you how to logically aggregate physical links to form one logical, higher-bandwidth

link.

14.1 Introduction to Link Aggregation

Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.

However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A link aggregation group is one logical link containing multiple ports.

14.1.1 Dynamic Link Aggregation

The GS-3012F adheres to the 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking.

The GS-3012F supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk groups.

When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the "standby" ports become operational without user intervention

Please note that:

You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking.
LACP only works on full-duplex links.
All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings.

Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network topology loops.

14.1.2 Link Aggregation ID

LACP aggregation ID consists of the following information:

Port Authentication

This chapter describes the 802.1x authentication method and RADIUS server connection setup.

15.1 Introduction to Authentication

IEEE 802.1x is an extended authentication protocol² that allows support of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138, 2139) for centralized user profile management on a network RADIUS server.

15.1.1 RADIUS

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external server instead of (or in addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to the memory capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate an unlimited number of users from a central location.

Figure 15-1 RADIUS Server

15.2 Configuring Port Authentication

To enable port authentication, first activate IEEE802.1x security (both on the GS-3012F and the port(s)) then configure the RADIUS server settings.

Chapter 16 Port Security

This chapter shows you how to set up port security.

16.1 About Port Security

Port security allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC addresses to pass through a port on the switch. The switch can learn up to 16K MAC addresses in total with no limit on individual ports other than the sum cannot exceed 16K.

For maximum port security, enable this feature, disable MAC address learning and configure static MAC address(es) for a port. It is not recommended you disable Port Security together with MAC address learning as this will result in many broadcasts.

16.2Port Security Setup

For example, if you set this field to "5" on port 2, then only the devices with these five learned MAC addresses may access port 2 at any one time. A sixth device would have to wait until one of the five learned MAC addresses aged out. MAC-address aging out time can be set in the Switch Setup screen. The valid range is from 0 to 16K. 0 means this feature is disabled, so the switch will learn MAC addresses up to the global limit of 16K.

Access Control

This chapter describes how to control access to the switch.

17.1 About Access Control

Click Advanced Application, Access Control from the navigation panel to display the screen as shown. From this screen you can configure SNMP, up to four web configurator administrators, enable/disable remote service access and configure trusted computers for remote access.

Figure 17-1 Access Control

17.2Access Control Overview

A console port access control session and Telnet access control session cannot coexist. The console port has higher priority. If you telnet to the switch and someone is already logged in from the console port, then you will see the following message.

"Local administrator is configuring this device now!!!

Connection to host lost."

Figure 17-2 Console Port Priority

A console port or Telnet session can coexist with one FTP session, up to five Web sessions (five different usernames and passwords) and/or limitless SNMP access control sessions.

Table 17-1 Access Control Summary

	Console port	Telnet	FTP	Web	SNMP
Number of sessions allowed	1	4	1	5	No limit
Number of concurrent sessions allowed	1 console port or Telnet. Console port has priority.		1	5	No limit

17.3About SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network switches. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. A manager station can manage and monitor the GS-3012F through the network via SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and/or SNMP version 2c. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 17-3 SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.

An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed switch (the GS-3012F). An agent translates the local management information from the managed switch into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.

The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a switch. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

Table 17-2 SNMP Commands

COMMAND	DESCRIPTION
Get	Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext	Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.

Table 17-2 SNMP Commands

COMMAND	DESCRIPTION
Set	Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap	Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

17.3.1 Supported MIBs

MIBs let administrators collect statistics and monitor status and performance.

The GS-3012F supports the following MIBs:

SNMP MIB II (RFC 1213)
RFC 1157 SNMP v1
RFC 1493 Bridge MIBs
RFC 1643 Ethernet MIBs
RFC 1155 SMI

SNMPv2,SNMPv2c
Bridge extension MIBs RFC 2674

17.3.2 SNMP Traps

The GS-3012F sends traps to an SNMP manager when an event occurs. SNMP traps supported are outlined in the following table.

Table 17-3 SNMP Traps

GENERIC TRAP	SPECIFIC TRAP	DESCRIPTION
0 (Cold Start)	0	This trap is sent when the GS-3012F is turned on.
1 (WarmStart)	0	This trap is sent when the GS-3012F restarts.
2 (linkDown)	0	This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is down.
3 (linkUp)	0	This trap is sent when the Ethernet link is up.
4 (authenticationFailure)	0	This trap is sent when an SNMP request comes from non-authenticated hosts.

17.4SSH Overview

Unlike Telnet or FTP, which transmit data in clear text, SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure communication protocol that combines authentication and data encryption to provide secure encrypted communication between two hosts over an unsecured network.

Figure 17-6 SSH Communication Example

17.5 How SSH works

The following table summarizes how a secure connection is established between two remote hosts.

Figure 17-7 How SSH Works

1. Host Identification

The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key and server key and sends the result back to the server.

The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent connections, the server public key is checked against the saved version on the client computer.

2. Encryption Method

Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of encryption method to use.

3. Authentication and Data Transmission

After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is established between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication information (user name and password) to the server to log in to the server.

17.6SSH Implementation

Your switch supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA and DSA authentication and five encryption methods (AES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish and CAST). The SSH server is implemented on the switch for remote SMT management and file transfer on port 22 (by default). Up to four SSH connections are allowed at a time.

17.6.1 Requirements for Using SSH

You must install an SSH client program on a client computer (Windows or Linux operating system) that is used to connect to the switch over SSH.

17.7 Introduction to HTTPS

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol that encrypts and decrypts web pages. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data by ensuring confidentiality (an unauthorized party cannot read the transferred data), authentication (one party can identify the other party) and data integrity (you know if data has been changed).

It relies upon certificates, public keys, and private keys.

HTTPS on the switch is used so that you may securely access the switch using the web configurator. The SSL protocol specifies that the SSL server must always authenticate itself to the SSL client (the computer which requests the HTTPS connection with the switch), whereas the SSL client only should authenticate itself when the SSL server requires it to do so.

Please refer to the following figure.

1. HTTPS connection requests from an SSL-aware web browser go to port 443 (by default) on the switch's WS (web server).
2. HTTP connection requests from a web browser go to port 80 (by default) on the switch's WS.

Figure 17-8 HTTPS Implementation

If you disable HTTP in the Service Access Control screen, then the switch blocks all HTTP connection attempts.

17.7.1 HTTPS Example

If you haven't changed the default HTTPS port on the switch, then in your browser enter "https:// switch IP Address/" as the web site address where "switch IP Address" is the IP address or domain name of the switch you wish to access.

The HTTPS proxy server listens on port 443 by default. If you change the HTTPS proxy server port to a different number on the switch, for example 8443, then you must notify people who need to access the switch web configurator to use “https:// switch IP Address:8443” as the URL.

17.7.2 Internet Explorer Warning Messages

When you attempt to access the switch HTTPS server, a Windows dialog box pops up asking if you trust the server certificate. Click View Certificate if you want to verify that the certificate is from the switch.

You see the following Security Alert screen in Internet Explorer. Select Yes to proceed to the web configurator login screen; if you select No, then web configurator access is blocked.

Figure 17-9 Security Alert Dialog Box (Internet Explorer)

17.7.3 Netscape Navigator Warning Messages

When you attempt to access the switch HTTPS server, a Website Certified by an Unknown Authority screen pops up asking if you trust the server certificate. Click Examine Certificate if you want to verify that the certificate is from the switch.

If Accept this certificate temporarily for this session is selected, then click OK to continue in Netscape.

Select Accept this certificate permanently to import the switch's certificate into the SSL client.

Figure 17-10 Security Certificate 1 (Netscape)
Figure 17-11 Security Certificate 2 (Netscape)

17.7.4 Login Screen

After you accept the certificate and login in, the switch main screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom right of the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.

Chapter 18

Queuing Method

This chapter introduces SPQ and WFQ.

18.1 Introduction to Queuing

Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion. Use the Queuing Method screen to configure queuing algorithms for outgoing traffic. See also Priority Queue Assignment in Switch Setup and 802.1p Priority in Port Setup for related information.

Queuing algorithms allow switches to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the bandwidth.

The switch has eight physical queues, Q0 to Q7. Q7 has the highest priority and Q0 has the lowest.

Table 18-1 Physical Queue Priority

QUEUE	PRIORITY
Q7	8 (highest)
Q6	7
Q5	6
Q4	5
Q3	4
Q2	3
Q1	2
Q0	1 (lowest)

18.1.1 Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ)

Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the switch, traffic on the highest priority queue, Q7 is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q6 is transmitted until Q6 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q5 and so on. If higher priority queues never empty, then traffic on lower priority queues never gets sent. SPQ does not automatically adapt to changing network requirements.

18.1.2 Weighted Round Robin Scheduling (WRR)

Round Robin Scheduling services queues on a rotating basis and is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. A queue is given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that port. This queue then moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the

end of the list; and so on, depending on the number of queues being used. This works in a looping fashion until a queue is empty.

Weighted Round Robin Scheduling (WRR) uses the same algorithm as round robin scheduling, but services queues based on their priority and queue weight (the number you configure in the Weight field – see Figure 18-1) rather than a fixed amount of bandwidth. WRR is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. Queues with larger weights get more service than queues with smaller weights. This queuing mechanism is highly efficient in that it divides any available bandwidth across the different traffic queues and returns to queues that have not yet emptied.

18.2 Configuring Queuing

Click Queuing Method under Advanced Application in the navigation panel.

Figure 18-1 Queuing Method

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Chapter 19 Classifier

This chapter introduces and shows you how to configure the packet classifier on the GS-3012F.

19.1 About the Classifier and QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic data is equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and make the network inadequate for time-critical application such as video-on-demand.

A classifier groups traffic into data flows according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port number, destination port number or incoming port number. For example, you can configure a classifier to select traffic from the same protocol port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.

Configure QoS on the switch to group and prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance. Setting up QoS involves two separate steps:

1. Configure classifiers to sort traffic into different flows.
2. Configure policy rules to define actions to be performed for a classified traffic flow (refer to Chapter 20 to configure policy rules).

19.2 Configuring the Classifier

Use the Classifier screen to define the classifiers. After you define the classifier, you can specify actions (or policy) to act upon the traffic that match the rules. To configure policy rules, refer to Chapter 20.

Click Advanced Application and Classifier in the navigation panel to display the configuration screen as shown.

Chapter 20 Policy Rule

This chapter shows you how to configure policy rules.

20.1 About Policy Rules

A classifier distinguishes traffic into flows based on the configured criteria (refer to Chapter 19 for more information). A policy rule ensures that a traffic flow gets the requested treatment in the network.

20.1.1 DiffServ

DiffServ (Differentiated Services) is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.

20.1.2 DSCP and Per-Hop Behavior

DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The DS field contains a 2-bit unused field and a 6-bit DSCP field which can define up to 64 service levels. The following figure illustrates the DS field.

DSCP is backward compatible with the three precedence bits in the ToS octet so that non-DiffServ compliant, ToS-enabled network device will not conflict with the DSCP mapping.

The DSCP value determines the forwarding behavior, the PHB (Per-Hop Behavior), that each packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule, different kinds of traffic can be marked for different kinds of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.

20.2 Configuring Policy Rules

You must first configure a classifier in the Classifier screen. Refer to Chapter 19 for more information.

Chapter 21 DHCP Relay

This chapter describes the DHCP relay and shows you how to configure the DHCP Relay screen.

21.1 Overview

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a DHCP server. You can configure the switch to relay client TCP/IP configuration requests to a DHCP server and the server's responses back to the clients.

21.1.1 DHCP “Relay Agent Information Option”

The switch can add information to client TCP/IP configuration requests that it relays to a DHCP server. This helps provide authentication about the source of the requests. You can also specify additional information for the switch to add to the client TCP/IP configuration requests that it relays to the DHCP server. Please refer to RFC 3046 for more details.

21.1.2 DHCP Relay Agent Circuit ID Sub-option Format

The DHCP relay agent information feature adds an Agent Information field to the option 82 field of the DHCP headers of client TCP/IP configuration request frames that the switch relays to a DHCP server. The Agent Information field that the switch adds contains an "Agent Circuit-ID sub-option" that includes the port number, VLAN ID and optional information about the port where the TCP/IP configuration request was received.

21.2DHCP Relay Configuration

To configure DHCP relay information and specify the DHCP server(s), click Advanced Application and DHCP Relay to display the screen as shown next.

Routing Protocol and Management

This part describes the Routing Protocol and Management screens.

Chapter 22

Routing Protocol

This chapter shows you how to configure the routing functions.

22.1 Static Route

Static routes tell the GS-3012F how to forward IP traffic when you configure the TCP/IP parameters manually.

Click Routing Protocol in the navigation panel and then Static Routing to display the screen as shown.

Figure 22-1 Static Routing

The following table describes the related labels you use to create a static route.

Table 22-1 Static Routing

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Active	This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Name	Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Destination IP Address	This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask	Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your switch that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the same segment as your switch.

Table 22-1 Static Routing

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Metric	The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Add	Click Add to save the new rule to the switch. It then displays in the summary table at the bottom of the screen.
Cancel	Click Cancel to reset the fields to your previous configuration.
Clear	Click Clear to clear the fields to the factory defaults.

View the current static routes on the switch in the summary table at the bottom of the screen.

Press the Click Here button next to Load Factory Defaults to clear all switch configuration information you configured and return to the factory defaults. The following message appears.

Figure 23-5 Confirm Load factory Defaults

Click OK to go to the next screen.

Figure 23-6 Restart Switch After Load Factory Defaults

Click OK to begin resetting all switch configurations to the factory defaults and then wait for the switch to restart. This takes up to two minutes. If you want to access the switch web configurator again, you may need to change the IP address of your computer to be in the same subnet as that of the default switch IP address (192.168.1.1).

23.6Reboot System

Reboot System allows you to restart the switch without physically turning the power off. Press the Click Here button next to Reboot System to display the next screen.

Figure 23-7 Confirm Restart The Switch

Click OK to see the screen as shown in Figure 23-6. Click OK again and then wait for the switch to restart. This takes up to two minutes. This does not affect the switch's configuration.

23.7 Command Line FTP

This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the switch using FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.

23.7.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the screens such as password, switch setup, IP Setup, etc. Once you have customized the switch's settings,

they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.

ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the system firmware and has a "bin" filename extension.

Table 23-1 Filename Conventions

FILE TYPE	INTERNAL NAME	EXTERNAL NAME	DESCRIPTION
Configuration File	config		This is the configuration filename on the switch. Uploading the config file replaces the specified configuration file system, including your switch configurations, system-related data (including the default password), the error log and the trace log.
Firmware	Ras	*.bin	This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware on the switch.

Example FTP Commands

ftp> put firmware.bin ras

This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file " firmware.bin" to the switch .

ftp> get config config.cfg

This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called "config.cfg" on your computer.

If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the switch only recognizes "config" and "ras". Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.

Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model firmware may damage your device.

23.7.2 FTP Command Line Procedure

1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2. Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your switch.
3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234").
5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.
6. Use "put" to transfer files from the computer to the switch, for example, "put firmware.bin ras" transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the switch and renames it "ras". Similarly, "put config.cfg config" transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the switch and

renames it "config". Likewise "get config config.cfg" transfers the configuration file on the switch to your computer and renames it "config.cfg." See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

1. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt.

23.7.3 GUI-based FTP Clients

The following table describes some of the commands that you may see in GUI-based FTP clients.

Table 23-2 General Commands for GUI-based FTP Clients

Chapter 26 MAC Table

This chapter introduces MAC Table.

26.1 Introduction to MAC Table

The MAC table shows how frames are forwarded or filtered across the switch's ports. It shows what device MAC address, belonging to what VLAN group (if any) is forwarded to which port(s) and whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the switch) or static (manually entered in Static MAC Forwarding).

The switch uses the Filtering Database to determine how to forward frames. See the following figure.

1. The switch examines a received frame and learns the port on which this source MAC address came.
2. The switch checks to see if the frame's destination MAC address matches a source MAC address already learned in the Filtering Database.

If the switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, then it forwards the frame to that port.
If the switch has not already learned the port for this MAC address, then the frame is flooded to all ports. Too much port flooding leads to network congestion.
If the switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, but the destination port is the same as the port it came in on, then it filters the frame.

Figure 26-1 MAC Table Flowchart

26.2 Viewing MAC Table

Chapter 27 ARP Table

This chapter introduces ARP Table.

27.1 Introduction to ARP Table

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network.

An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.

27.1.1 How ARP Works

When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the switch, the switch's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device.

If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The switch fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the switch puts all ones in the target MAC field (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicast the answer directly back to the requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP Table for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that replied.

27.2 Viewing ARP Table

Click Management in the navigation panel and then ARP Table to open the following screen. The ARP table can hold up to 500 entries.

Figure 27-1 ARP Table

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 27-1 ARP Table

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Index	This is the ARP Table entry number.
IP Address	This is the learned IP address of a device connected to a switch port with corresponding MAC address below.
MAC Address	This is the MAC address of the device with corresponding IP address above.
Type	This shows whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the switch) or static (manually entered in Static MAC Forwarding).

Part VII

Commands

This part gives information on the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Chapter 28 Introducing the Commands

This chapter introduces the commands and gives a summary of commands available.

28.1 Overview

In addition to the web configurator, you can use line commands to configure the switch. Use line commands for advanced switch diagnosis and troubleshooting. If you have problems with your switch, customer support may request that you issue some of these commands to assist them in troubleshooting.

28.1.1 Switch Configuration File

When you configure the switch using either the CLI or web configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the switch. You can perform the following with a configuration file:

Back up switch configuration once the switch is set up to work in your network.
Restore switch configuration.
Use the same configuration file to set all switches (of the same model) in your network to the same settings.

You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.

Make sure you use valid commands. The switch rejects configuration files with invalid or incomplete commands.

28.2 Accessing the CLI

You can use a direct console connection or Telnet to access the CLI on the switch.

The switch automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again.

28.2.1 Access Priority

You can only access the CLI with the administrator account (the default username is admin and password is 1234).
By default, only one concurrent access to the CLI is allowed via either the console port or Telnet. Console port access has higher priority.
Use the configure multi-login command in the configuration mode to allow multiple concurrent logins. However, no more than five concurrent login sessions are allowed.

28.2.2 The Console Port

Connect to the switch's console port using a terminal emulation software configured to the following settings:

VT100 terminal emulation

9600 bps
No parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No flow control

Initial Screen

When you turn on your switch, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. You can view the initialization information using the console port. After the initialization, the login screen displays (refer to Section 28.3).

Copyright (c) 1994 - 2004 ZyXEL Communications Corp. initialize mgmt, ethernet address: 00:13:49:11:22:33 initialize switch, ethernet address: 00:13:49:11:22:34 Initializing switch unit 0... Press ENTER to continue... 

Figure 28-1 Initial Console Port Screen

28.2.3 Telnet

Use the following steps to telnet into your switch.

1. For local management, connect your computer to the RJ-45 management port (labeled MGMT) on the switch.
2. Make sure your computer IP address and the switch IP address are on the same subnet. In Windows, click Start (usually in the bottom left corner), Run and then type "telnet 192.168.1.1" (the default management IP address) and click OK.
3. A login screen displays (refer to Section 28.3).

28.3 The Login Screen

After you have successfully established a connection to the switch using a direct console connection or Telnet, a login screen displays as shown below. For your first login, enter the default administrator login username "admin" and password "1234".

Enter User Name : admin  
Enter Password :XXXX 

Figure 28-2 CLI: Login Screen

28.4 Command Syntax Conventions

The rules of the commands are listed next.

The command keywords are in courier new font.
The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets , for instance, ping ip means that you must specify an IP number for this command.
The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets [ ], for instance, configure snmp-server [contact ] [location ] means that the contact and location fields are optional.

"Command" refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).
The | symbol means "or".
The entry <cr> in the command lines refers to carriage return. Press [ENTER] or carriage return after a command to execute the command.
Use the up () or down () arrow key to scroll through the command history list.
The CLI does not accept partial or incomplete commands. You may enter a unique part of a command and press [TAB] to have the switch automatically display the full command. For example, if you enter "config" and press [TAB], the full command of "configuration" automatically displays.
Each interface refers to a switch Ethernet port. Commands configured after the interface command correspond to those ports.
Type multiple ports or port ranges separated by a comma. Ranges of port numbers are typed separated by a dash.

28.5Getting Help

The system includes a help facility to provide you with the following information about the commands:

28.6 Command Modes

There are three CLI command modes: User, Enable and Configure.

When you first log into the CLI, the initial command mode is the User mode. The User mode commands are a subset of the Enable mode commands. The User mode command prompt ends with an angle bracket (>) .

To enter Enable (or privileged) mode, type "enable" and enter a password when prompted (the default is 1234). When you enter the Enable mode, the command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).

To enter the configuration mode, type "configuration" or "config". The Configure mode command prompt consists of the word "config" and the pound sign (#). There are two sub configuration modes: VLAN and interface. To enter config-vlan mode, type "vlan" followed by a number (between 1 to 4094). For example, vlan 10. To enter config-interface mode, enter interface followed by a port number. For example, interface 10.

Enter "exit" or "logout" to quit from the current mode or log out from the CLI.

28.7Using Command History

The switch keeps a list of up to 256 commands(s) you have entered for the current CLI session. You can use any commands in the history again by pressing the up (▲) or down (▼) arrow key to scroll through the previously used commands and press [ENTER]. Use the history command to display the list of commands.

where

<ip> = The IP address of a FTP server on which you want to store the backup configuration file. 

= Specifies the name of the configuration file.

This command backs up the current configuration file on a TFTP server. The following example backs up the current configuration to a file (test.cfg) on the TFTP server (172.23.19.96).

GS-3012F# copy running-config tftp 172.23.19.96 test.cfg   
Backuping (599)Bytes Done!   
GS-3012F# 

Figure 29-10 CLI: Backup Configuration Example

29.6.2 Restoring Configuration

Syntax:

copy tftp config <index> <ip> <remote-file> 

where

<index> = Specifies to restore which configuration file (1 or 2) on the switch. 

<ip> = The IP address of a TFTP server from which you want to get the backup configuration file. 

<remote-file> = Specified the name of the configuration file. 

This command restores a configuration file on the switch. The following example uploads the configuration file (test.cfg) from the FTP server (172.23.19.96) to the switch.

GS-3012F# copy tftp config 1 172.23.19.96 test.cfg  
Restoring. (599)Bytes Done!  
GS-3012F# 

Figure 29-11 CLI:Restore Configuration Example

29.6.3 Using a Different Configuration File

You can store up to two configuration files on the switch. Only one configuration file is used at a time. By default the switch uses the first configuration file (with an index number of 1). You can set the switch to use a different configuration file. There are two ways in which you can set the switch to use a different configuration file: restart the switch (cold reboot) and restart the system (warm reboot).

Use the boot config command to restart the switch and use a different configuration file (if specified). The following example reboots the switch to use the second configuration file.

GS-3012F# boot config 2 

Figure 29-12 CLI: boot config Command Example

Use the reload config command to restart the system and use a different configuration file (if specified). The following example restarts the system to use the second configuration file.

GS-3012F# reload config 2 

Figure 29-13 CLI: reload config Command Example

When you use the write memory command without specifying a configuration file index number, the switch saves the changes to the configuration file the switch is currently using.

29.6.4 Resetting to the Factory Default

Follow the steps below to reset the switch back to the factory defaults.

1. Enter erase running config to reset the current running configuration.
2. Enter write memory to save the changes to the current configuration file. If you want to reset the second configuration file, use the write memory command again with the specified index number.

The following example resets both configuration files to the factory default settings.

GS-3012F# erase running-config  
GS-3012F# write memory  
GS-3012F# write memory 2

Chapter 30

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Commands

This chapter describes the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN and associated commands.

30.1IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN Overview

See the VLAN chapter for more information on VLANs. There are two kinds of tagging:

1. Explicit Tagging

A VLAN identifier is added to the frame header that identifies the source VLAN.

1. Implicit Tagging

The MAC (Media Access Control) number, the port or other information is used to identify the source of a VLAN frame.

The IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN uses both explicit and implicit tagging.

Whether to tag an outgoing frame depends on the setting of the egress port on a per-LAN, per-port basis (recall that a port can belong to multiple VLANs). If the tagging on the egress port is enabled for the VID of a frame, then the frame is transmitted as a tagged frame; otherwise, it is transmitted as an untagged frame.

30.2VLAN Databases

A VLAN database stores and organizes VLAN registration information useful for switching frames to and from a switch. A VLAN database consists of a static entries (Static VLAN or SVLAN table) and dynamic entries (Dynamic VLAN or DVLAN table).

30.2.1 Static Entries (SVLAN Table)

Static entry registration information is added, modified and removed by administrators only.

30.2.2 Dynamic Entries (DVLAN Table)

Dynamic entries are learned by the switch and cannot be created or updated by administrators. The switch learns this information by observing what port, source address and VLAN ID (or VID) is associated with a frame. Entries are added and deleted using GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), where GARP is the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

30.3 Configuring Tagged VLAN

The following procedure shows you how to configure tagged VLAN.

1. Use the IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLAN commands to configure tagged VLAN for the switch.

2. Use the vlan command to configure or create a VLAN on the switch. The switch automatically enters the config-vlan mode.

3. Use the exit command when you are finished configuring the VLAN.
4. Use the interface command to enter the config-interface mode to set the VLAN settings on a port, then use the pvid command to set the VLAN ID you created for the port-list to that specific port in the PVID table.
5. Use the inactive command to deactivate the VLAN(s).

Example:

GS-3012F (config) # vlan 2000  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # name up1  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # fixed 10-12  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # no untagged 10-12  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # exit  
GS-3012F (config) # interface 10-12  
GS-3012F (config-interface) # pvid 2000  
GS-3012F (config-interface) # exit 

Figure 30-1 Tagged VLAN Configuration and Activation Example

1. Configure your management VLAN.

2. Use the vlan command to create a VLAN (VID 3 in this example) for managing the switch, and the switch will activate the new management VLAN.

3. Use the inactive command to disable the new management VLAN.

Example:

GS-3012F (config)# vlan 3  
GS-3012F (config-vlan)# inactive 

Figure 30-2 CPU VLAN Configuration and Activation Example

30.4 Global VLAN1Q Tagged VLAN Configuration Commands

This section shows you how to configure and monitor the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN.

30.4.1 GARP Status

Syntax:

show garp

This command shows the switch's GARP timer settings, including the join, leave and leave all timers.

An example is shown next.

GS-3012F # show garp  
GARP Timer  
Join Timer = 200  
Leave Timer = 600  
Leave All Timer = 10000  
GS-3012F# 

Figure 30-3 GARP STATUS Command Example

30.4.2 GARP Timer

Syntax:

garp join <msec> leave <msec> leaveall <msec> 

where

join <msec> This sets the duration of the Join Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds.  
= Each port has a Join Period timer. The allowed Join Time range is between 100 and 32767 milliseconds; the default is 200 milliseconds.  
leave <msec> This sets the duration of the Leave Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a single Leave Period timer. Leave Time must be two times larger than Join Timer; the default is 600 milliseconds.  
= This sets the duration of the Leave All Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a single Leave All Period timer. Leave All Timer must be larger than Leave Timer; the default is 10000 milliseconds. 

This command sets the switch's GARP timer settings, including the join, leave and leave all timers.

Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values.

The following example sets the Join Timer to 300 milliseconds, the Leave Timer to 800 milliseconds and the Leave All Timer to 11000 milliseconds.

GS-3012F (config)# garp join 300 leave 800 leaveall 11000 

30.4.3 GVRP Timer

Syntax:

show vlan1q gvrp

This command shows the switch's GVRP settings.

An example is shown next.

GS-3012F # show vlan1q gvrp  
GVRP Support  
gvrpEnable = YES  
GVRP Support 

Figure 30-4 garp status Command Example

30.4.4 Enable GVRP

Syntax:

vlan1q gvrp

This command turns on GVRP in order to propagate VLAN information beyond the switch.

30.4.5 Disable GVRP

Syntax:

no vlan1q gvrp

This command turns off GVRP so that the switch does not propagate VLAN information to other switches.

30.5Port VLAN Commands

You must configure the switch port VLAN settings in config-interface mode.

30.5.1 Set Port VID

Syntax:

pvid<VID> 

where

<VID> = Specifies the VLAN number between 1 and 4094 

This command sets the default VLAN ID on the port(s).

The following example sets the default VID to 200 on ports 1 to 5.

GS-3012F (config)# interface port-channel 1-5  
GS-3012F (config-interface)# pvid 200 

Figure 30-5 vlan1q port default vid Command Example

30.5.2 Set Acceptable Frame Type

Syntax:

frame-type <all|tagged> 

where

<all|tagged> Specifies all Ethernet frames (tagged and untagged) or only tagged Ethernet   
= frames. 

This command sets the specified port to accept all Ethernet frames or only those with an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.

The following example sets ports 1 to 5 to accept only tagged frames.

GS-3012F (config)# interface port-channel 1-5  
GS-3012F (config-interface)# frame-type tagged 

Figure 30-6 frame type Command Example

30.5.3 Enable or Disable Port GVRP

Use the gvrp command to enable GVRP on the port(s). Use the no gvrp command to disable GVRP.

The following example turns off GVRP for ports 1 to 5.

GS-3012F (config)# interface 1-5  
GS-3012F (config-interface)# no gvrp 

Figure 30-7 no gvrp Command Example

30.5.4 Modify Static VLAN

Use the following commands in the config-vlan mode to configure the static VLAN table.

Syntax:

vlan <vlan-id>
fixed <port-list>
forbidden <port-list>
name <name-str>
normal <port-list>
untagged <port-list>
no fixed <port-list>
no forbidden <port-list>
no ungaged <port-list> 

where

<Vlan-id> = The VLAN ID [1-4094]. 

<name-str> = A name to identify the SVLAN entry. 

<port-list> = This is the switch port list. 

Enter fixed to register the to the static VLAN table with .
Enter normal to confirm registration of the to the static VLAN table with .
Enter forbidden to block a from joining the static VLAN table with .
Enter no fixed or no forbidden to change to normal status.
Enter untagged to send outgoing frames without a tag.
Enter no untagged to tag outgoing frames.

Modify a Static VLAN Table Example

The following example configures ports 1 to 5 as fixed and untagged ports in VLAN 2000.

GS-3012F (config) # vlan 2000  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # fixed 1-5  
GS-3012F (config-vlan) # untagged 1-5 

Figure 30-8 Modifying Static VLAN Example

Forwarding Process Example

Tagged Frames

1. First the switch checks the VLAN ID (VID) of tagged frames or assigns temporary VIDs to untagged frames.
2. The switch then checks the VID in a frame's tag against the SVLAN table.
3. The switch notes what the SVLAN table says (that is, the SVLAN tells the switch whether or not to forward a frame and if the forwarded frames should have tags).
4. Then the switch applies the port filter to finish the forwarding decision. This means that frames may be dropped even if the SVLAN says to forward them. Frames might also be dropped if they are sent to a CPE (customer premises equipment) DSL device that does not accept tagged frames.

Untagged Frames

1. An untagged frame comes in from the LAN.
2. The switch checks the PVID table and assigns a temporary VID of 1.
3. The switch ignores the port from which the frame came, because the switch does not send a frame to the port from which it came. The switch also does not forward frames to "forbidden" ports.
4. If after looking at the SVLAN, the switch does not have any ports to which it will send the frame, it won't check the port filter.

30.5.5 Delete VLAN ID

Syntax:

no vlan <vlan-id> 

where

<vlan-id> The VLAN ID [1-4094]. 

三

This command deletes the specified VLAN ID entry from the static VLAN table. The following example deletes entry 2 in the static VLAN table.

GS-3012F (config)# no vlan 2 

Figure 30-9 no vlan Command Example

30.6 Enable VLAN

Syntax:

vlan <vlan-id> 

This command enables the specified VLAN ID in the SVLAN (Static VLAN) table.

30.7 Disable VLAN

Syntax:

vlan <vlan-id> inactive 

This command disables the specified VLAN ID in the SVLAN (Static VLAN) table.

30.8Show VLAN Setting

Syntax:

show vlan 

This command shows the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged SVLAN (Static VLAN) table.

An example is shown next.

For the AdCtl section of the last column, “-” is a port set to normal, “x” is a forbidden port and “F” is a fixed port.

For the TagCtl section of the last column, "T" is a tagged port, "U" is an untagged port.
