Link Fault Pass-through

Link Fault Pass-through is a networking feature. It facilitates the detection and propagation of link faults or errors from one network device to another. It helps maintain network reliability and minimizes downtime by allowing devices to dynamically respond to link faults. Link Fault Pass-through improves fault detection and enables faster troubleshooting and resolution processes.

How it works:

• When a link fault occurs, the device experiencing the fault generates a notification.
  • This notification is then forwarded to other connected devices using Link Fault Pass-through.
• Upon receiving the link fault information, the connected devices become aware of the fault.
  • This awareness enables them to take appropriate actions, such as rerouting traffic or disabling the affected port.

1. It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the 10G Managed Media Converter. If you insert an SFP/SFP+ transceiver that is not supported, the 10G Managed Media Converter will not recognize it.

2. Before we connect the 10G Managed Media Converter to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 10GBASE-SR to 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR to 10GBASE-LR.

3. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.

To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.

- Connect the fiber cable

1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP/SFP+ transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP/SFP+ transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP/SFP+ slot on the front of the 10G Managed Media Converter. Ensure that the SFP/SFP+ transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP/SFP+ port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user has to set the port Link mode to "10G FDX", "1000M FDX" or "100M FDX".

2.3.2 Removing the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver

1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with the network administrator. Or through the management interface of the media converter/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the fiber optic cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the SFP transceiver to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the module with force could damage the module and SFP module slot of the device.

The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the 10G Managed Media Converter software and are available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three management methods.

Method	Advantages	Disadvantages
Command line Interface	Text-basedUse easily acquired telnet or SSH software such as Tera Term or PuttySecure	Modem connection may prove to be unreliable or slow
Web Browser	Ideal for configuring the media converter remotelyCompatible with all popular browsersCan be accessed from any locationMost visually appealing	Security can be compromised (hackers need only know the IP address and subnet mask)May encounter lag times on poor connections
SNMP Agent	Communicates with media converter functions at the MIB levelBased on open standards	Requires SNMP manager softwareLeast visually appealing of all three methodsSome settings require calculationsSecurity can be compromised (hackers need only know the community name)

Table 3-1: Comparison of Management Methods

3.3 CLI Mode Management

There are two ways for CLI mode management, remote SSH and telnet. Remote SSH and telnet are IP-based protocols, their operations are the same.

The command line user interface is for performing system administration, such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. When this method is used, you can access the 10G Managed Media Converter remote telnet interface from personal computer or workstation in the same Ethernet environment as long as you know the current IP address of the Managed Switch.

For security reason, the SSH and Telnet protocol is disabled as default setting.

3.3.1 Remote SSH Login

The 10G Managed Media Converter also supports SSHv2 for remote management. The 10G Managed Media Converter asks for user name and password for remote login when using SSHv2 client software; please use "admin" for both username and password.

4.2.4 SNMP Management

4.2.4.1 SNMP Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.

An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMS's), SNMP agents, Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol:

Network management stations (NMS's): Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute management applications that monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMS's are usually engineering workstation-caliber computers with fast CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At least one NMS must be present in each managed environment.
Agents: Agents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store management information such as the number of error packets received by a network element.
Management information base (MIB): A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store. Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules.
Network-management protocol: A management protocol is used to convey management information between agents and NMS's. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto standard management protocol.

SNMP Operations

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMS's can send multiple requests without receiving a response.

Get -- Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.
Set -- Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.
Trap -- Used by the agent to asynchronously inform the NMS of some event. The SNMPv2 trap message is designed to replace the SNMPv1 trap message.

SNMP community

An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. An SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. It will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP default communities are:

Write = private

Read = public

4.2.5 RMON

RMON is the most important expansion of the standard SNMP. RMON is a set of MIB definitions, used to define standard network monitor functions and interfaces, enabling the communication between SNMP management terminals and remote monitors. RMON provides a highly efficient method to monitor actions inside the subnets.

MID of RMON consists of 10 groups. The media converter supports the most frequently used group 1, 2, 3 and 9:

■ Statistics: Maintain basic usage and error statistics for each subnet monitored by the Agent.
■ History: Record periodical statistic samples available from Statistics.
- Alarm: Allow management console users to set any count or integer for sample intervals and alert thresholds for RMON Agent records.
■ Event: A list of all events generated by RMON Agent.

Alarm depends on the implementation of Event. Statistics and History display some current or history subnet statistics. Alarm and Event provide a method to monitor any integer data change in the network, and provide some alerts upon abnormal events (sending Trap or record in logs).

4.2.5.1 RMON Statistics

4.3.1.3 Link Fault Passthrough

Link Fault Pass-through

Link Fault Pass-through is a networking feature. It facilitates the detection and propagation of link faults or errors from one network device to another. It helps maintain network reliability and minimizes downtime by allowing devices to dynamically respond to link faults. Link Fault Pass-through improves fault detection and enables faster troubleshooting and resolution processes.

How it works:

• When a link fault occurs, the device experiencing the fault generates a notification.
  • This notification is then forwarded to other connected devices using Link Fault Pass-through.
• Upon receiving the link fault information, the connected devices become aware of the fault.
  • This awareness enables them to take appropriate actions, such as rerouting traffic or disabling the affected port.

The LFP group can be made up of Copper-to-Fiber or Fiber-to-Fiber connections. These two types of groupings are shown in Figure 4-3-7 and 4-3-8 respectively.

4.3.1.5 Protected Ports

Overview

When a port is configured to be a member of protected group (also called Private VLAN), communication between protected ports within that group can be prevented. Two application examples are provided in this section:

• Customers connected to an ISP can be members of the protected group, but they are not allowed to communicate with each other within that VLAN.
• Servers in a farm of web servers in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) are allowed to communicate with the outside world and with database servers on the inside segment, but are not allowed to communicate with each other

    G <--> K["Access Denied"]
    L["Private VLAN"] --> M["Isolate"]
    L --> N["Isolate"]
    L --> O["Isolate"]
    L --> P["Isolate"]

For protected port group to be applied, the Managed Media Converter must first be configured for standard VLAN operation.

Ports in a protected port group fall into one of these two groups:

■ Promiscuous (Unprotected) ports

— Ports from which traffic can be forwarded to all ports in the private VLAN
— Ports which can receive traffic from all ports in the private VLAN

■ Isolated (Protected) ports

— Ports from which traffic can only be forwarded to promiscuous ports in the private VLAN
— Ports which can receive traffic from only promiscuous ports in the private VLAN

The configuration of promiscuous and isolated ports applies to all private VLANs. When traffic comes in on a promiscuous port in a private VLAN, the VLAN mask from the VLAN table is applied. When traffic comes in on an isolated port, the private VLAN mask is applied in addition to the VLAN mask from the VLAN table. This reduces the ports to which forwarding can be done to just the promiscuous ports within the private VLAN.

The port settings relate to the currently unit, as reflected by the page header. The Port Isolation Configuration screens in Figure 4-3-12 and Figure 4-3-13 appear.

4.3.1.6 EEE

What is EEE

EEE is a power saving option that reduces the power usage when there is low or no traffic utilization. EEE works by powering down circuits when there is no traffic. When a port gets data to be transmitted all circuits are powered up. The time it takes to power up the circuits is named wakeup time. The default wakeup time is 17 us for 1Gbit links and 30 us for other link speeds. EEE devices must agree upon the value of the wakeup time in order to make sure that both the receiving and transmitting device has all circuits powered up when traffic is transmitted. The devices can exchange wakeup time information using the LLDP protocol. EEE works for ports in auto-negotiation mode, where the port is negotiated to either 1G or 100 Mbit full duplex mode. For ports that are not EEE-capable the corresponding EEE checkboxes are grayed out and thus impossible to enable EEE for. The EEE port settings relate to the currently unit, as reflected by the page header.

When a port is powered down for saving power, outgoing traffic is stored in a buffer until the port is powered up again. Because there are some overhead in turning the port down and up, more power can be saved if the traffic can be buffered up until a large burst of traffic can be transmitted. Buffering traffic will give some latency in the traffic.

4.3.2 VLAN

4.3.2.1 VLAN Overview

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network topology configured according to a logical scheme rather than the physical layout. VLAN can be used to combine any collection of LAN segments into an autonomous user group that appears as a single LAN. VLAN also logically segment the network into different broadcast domains so that packets are forwarded only between ports within the VLAN. Typically, a VLAN corresponds to a particular subnet, although not necessarily.

VLAN can enhance performance by conserving bandwidth and improve security by limiting traffic to specific domains.

A VLAN is a collection of end nodes grouped by logic instead of physical location. End nodes that frequently communicate with each other are assigned to the same VLAN, regardless of where they are physically on the network. Logically, a VLAN can be equated to a broadcast domain, because broadcast packets are forwarded to only members of the VLAN on which the broadcast was initiated.

1. No matter what basis is used to uniquely identify end nodes and assign these nodes VLAN membership, packets cannot cross VLAN without a network device performing a routing function between the VLAN.
2. The Managed Media Converter supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. The port untagging function can be used to remove the 802.1 tag from packet headers to maintain compatibility with devices that are tag-unaware.

The Managed Media Converter's default is to assign all ports to a single 802.1Q VLAN named DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLAN is created, the member ports assigned to the new VLAN will be removed from the DEFAULT_VLAN port member list. The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1.

This section has the following items:

■ Management VLAN	Configures the management VLAN
■ Create VLAN	Creates the VLAN group
■ Interface Settings	Configures mode and PVID on the VLAN port
■ Port to VLAN	Configures the VLAN membership
■ Port VLAN Membership	Display the VLAN membership

4.3.2.2 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each subnet into separate domains. This Managed Media Converter provides a similar service at Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This also provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.

An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment.

VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing you to move devices to a new VLAN without having to change any physical connections. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as videoconferencing).

VLANs provide greater network efficiency by reducing broadcast traffic and allow you to make network changes without having to update IP addresses or IP subnets. VLANs inherently provide a high level of network security since traffic must pass through a configured Layer 3 link to reach a different VLAN.

This Managed Media Converter supports the following VLAN features:

■ Up to 255 VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
■ Port overlapping, allowing a port to participate in multiple VLANs.
■ End stations can belong to multiple VLANs.
■ Passing traffic between VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware devices

IEEE 802.1Q Standard

VLAN allow a network to be segmented in order to reduce the size of broadcast domains. All packets entering a VLAN will only be forwarded to the stations (over IEEE 802.1Q enabled switches) that are members of that VLAN, and this includes broadcast, multicast and unicast packets from unknown sources.

VLAN can also provide a level of security to your network. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN will only deliver packets between stations that are members of the VLAN. Any port can be configured as either tagging or untagging.:

■ The untagging feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN allows VLAN to work with legacy switches that don't recognize VLAN tags in packet headers.
■ The tagging feature allows VLAN to span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled on all ports and work normally.

Some relevant terms:

• Tagging - The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into the header of a packet.
• Untagging - The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information out of the packet header.

802.1Q VLAN Tags

The figure below shows the 802.1Q VLAN tag. There are four additional octets inserted after the source MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 in the Ether Type field. When a packet's Ether Type field is equal to 0x8100, the packet carries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p tag. The tag is contained in the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priority, 1 bit of Canonical Format Identifier (CFI - used for encapsulating Token Ring packets so they can be carried across Ethernet backbones), and 12 bits of VLAN ID (VID). The 3 bits of user priority are used by 802.1p. The VID is the VLAN identifier and is used by the 802.1Q standard. Because the VID is 12 bits long, 4094 unique VLAN can be identified.

The tag is inserted into the packet header making the entire packet longer by 4 octets. All of the information originally contained in the packet is retained.

The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original Ether Type/Length or Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) must be recalculated.

Port VLAN ID

Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted from one 802.1Q compliant network device to another with the VLAN information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span network devices (and indeed, the entire network – if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).

Every physical port on a switch has a PVID. 802.1Q ports are also assigned a PVID, for use within the switch. If no VLAN are defined on the switch, all ports are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID equal to 1. Untagged packets are assigned the PVID of the port on which they were received. Forwarding decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. Tagged packets are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. Tagged packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is.

Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on the network. The switch will compare the VID of a packet to be transmitted to the VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If the two VID are different the switch will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for untagged packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware and tag-unaware network devices can coexist on the same network.

A switch port can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the switch has memory in its VLAN table to store them.

Because some devices on a network may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made at each port on a tag-aware device before packets are transmitted – should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the packet should be tagged.

Default VLANs

The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all ports on the Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in Port-based mode, their respective member ports are removed from the "default."

Assigning Ports to VLANs

Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs. Then assign ports on the other VLAN-aware network devices along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either manually or dynamically using GVRP. However, if you want a port on this switch to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network devices nor the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs, then you should add this port to the VLAN as an untagged port.

VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware network interconnection devices, but the VLAN tags should be stripped off before passing it on to any end-node host that does not support VLAN tagging.

■ VLAN Classification

When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the frame is untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default VLAN ID of the receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the switch uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify the port broadcast domain of the frame.

Port Overlapping

Port overlapping can be used to allow access to commonly shared network resources among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers. Note that if you implement VLANs which do not overlap, but still need to communicate, you can connect them by enabled routing on this switch.

■ Untagged VLANs

Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on the switch. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.

4.3.2.5 Interface Settings

This page is used for configuring the Managed Media Converter port VLAN. The VLAN per Port Configuration page contains fields for managing ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Configuration page. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.

Understand nomenclature of the Switch

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged and Untagged

Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagged or untagged.

■ Tagged:

Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header of all packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the network to make packet-forwarding decisions.

■ Untagged:

Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into those ports. If the packet doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all packets received by and forwarded by an untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information. (Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch). Untagging is used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.

IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (Q-in-Q)

IEEE 802.1Q Tunneling (QinQ) is designed for service providers carrying traffic for multiple customers across their networks.

QinQ tunneling is used to maintain customer-specific VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations even when different customers use the same internal VLAN IDs. This is accomplished by inserting Service Provider VLAN (SPVLAN) tags into the customer's frames when they enter the service provider's network, and then stripping the tags when the frames leave the network.

A service provider's customers may have specific requirements for their internal VLAN IDs and number of VLANs supported. VLAN ranges required by different customers in the same service-provider network might easily overlap, and traffic passing through the infrastructure might be mixed. Assigning a unique range of VLAN IDs to each customer would restrict customer configurations, require intensive processing of VLAN mapping tables, and could easily exceed the maximum VLAN limit of 4096.

The Managed Media Converter supports multiple VLAN tags and can therefore be used in MAN applications as a provider bridge, aggregating traffic from numerous independent customer LANs into the MAN (Metro Access Network) space. One of the purposes of the provider bridge is to recognize and use VLAN tags so that the VLANs in the MAN space can be used independent of the customers' VLANs. This is accomplished by adding a VLAN tag with a MAN-related VID for frames entering the MAN. When leaving the MAN, the tag is stripped and the original VLAN tag with the customer-related VID is again available.

This provides a tunneling mechanism to connect remote costumer VLANs through a common MAN space without interfering with the VLAN tags. All tags use EtherType 0x8100 or 0x88A8, where 0x8100 is used for customer tags and 0x88A8 are used for service provider tags.

In cases where a given service VLAN only has two member ports on the switch, the learning can be disabled for the particular VLAN and can therefore rely on flooding as the forwarding mechanism between the two ports. This way, the MAC table requirements is reduced.

4.3.3 LLDP

4.3.3.1 Link Layer Discovery Protocol

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is used to discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain. LLDP is a Layer 2 protocol that uses periodic broadcasts to advertise information about the sending device. Advertised information is represented in Type Length Value (TLV) format according to the IEEE 802.1ab standard, and can include details such as device identification, capabilities and configuration settings. LLDP also defines how to store and maintain information gathered about the neighboring network nodes it discovers.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol - Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an extension of LLDP intended for managing endpoint devices such as Voice over IP phones and network switches. The LLDP-MED TLVs advertise information such as network policy, power, inventory, and device location details. LLDP and LLDP-MED information can be used by SNMP applications to simplify troubleshooting, enhance network management, and maintain an accurate network topology.

Transmission Interval	The switch is periodically transmitting LLDP frames to its neighbors for having the network discovery information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is determined by the Transmission Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.Default: 30 secondsThis attribute must comply with the following rule:(Transmission Interval * Hold Time Multiplier) ≤65536, and Transmission Interval >= (4 * Delay Interval)
Holdtime Multiplier	Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in the LLDP frame shall be considered valid. The LLDP information valid period is set to Holdtime multiplied by Transmission Interval seconds. Valid values are restricted to 2 - 10 times.TTL in seconds is based on the following rule:(Transmission Interval * Holdtime Multiplier) ≤ 65536.Therefore, the default TTL is 4*30 = 120 seconds.
Reinitialization Delay	When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted a LLDP shutdown frame is transmitted to the neighboring units, signaling that the LLDP information isn't valid anymore. Tx Reinit controls the amount of seconds between the shutdown frame and a new LLDP initialization. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 10 seconds.
Transmit Delay	If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new LLDP frame is transmitted, but the time between the LLDP frames will always be at least the value of Transmit Delay seconds. Transmit Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Transmission Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 8192 seconds.This attribute must comply with the rule:(4 * Delay Interval) ≤Transmission Interval
LLDP-MED Fast Start Repeat Count	Configures the amount of LLDP MED Fast Start LLDPDUs to transmit during the activation process of the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism.Range: 1-10 packets;Default: 3 packetsThe MED Fast Start Count parameter is part of the timer which ensures that the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism is active for the port. LLDP-MED Fast Start is critical to the timely startup of LLDP, and therefore integral to the rapid availability of Emergency Call Service.

• RX Ageout - Total	The number of organizationally TLVs received

4.3.4 MAC Address Table

Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The Managed Media Converter builds up a table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should go to (based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This table contains both static and dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by the network administrator if the administrator wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.

The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address), which shows the MAC address of the equipment sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically update the MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed from the MAC table if no frame with the corresponding SMAC address has been seen after a configurable age time.

4.3.4.1 Static MAC Setting

The static entries in the MAC table are shown in this table. The MAC table is sorted first by VLAN ID and then by MAC address. The Static MAC Setting screens in Figure 4-3-38 and Figure 4-3-39 appear.

4.4 Quality of Service

4.4.1 Understanding QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced traffic prioritization feature that allows you to establish control over network traffic. QoS enables you to assign various grades of network service to different types of traffic, such as multi-media, video, protocol-specific, time critical, and file-backup traffic.

QoS reduces bandwidth limitations, delay, loss, and jitter. It also provides increased reliability for delivery of your data and allows you to prioritize certain applications across your network. You can define exactly how you want the switch to treat selected applications and types of traffic.

You can use QoS on your system to:

• Control a wide variety of network traffic by:
• Classifying traffic based on packet attributes.
- Assigning priorities to traffic (for example, to set higher priorities to time-critical or business-critical applications).
- Applying security policy through traffic filtering.
- Provide predictable throughput for multimedia applications such as video conferencing or voice over IP by minimizing delay and jitter.
- Improve performance for specific types of traffic and preserve performance as the amount of traffic grows.
- Reduce the need to constantly add bandwidth to the network.
- Manage network congestion.

To implement QoS on your network, you need to carry out the following actions:

1. Define a service level to determine the priority that will be applied to traffic.
2. Apply a classifier to determine how the incoming traffic will be classified and thus treated by the Switch.
3. Create a QoS profile which associates a service level and a classifier.
4. Apply a QoS profile to a port(s).

The QoS page of the Managed Media Converter contains three types of QoS mode - the 802.1p mode, DSCP mode or Port-base mode can be selected. Both the three mode rely on predefined fields within the packet to determine the output queue.

■ 802.1p Tag Priority Mode –The output queue assignment is determined by the IEEE 802.1p VLAN priority tag.
■ IP DSCP Mode - The output queue assignment is determined by the TOS or DSCP field in the IP packets.
■ Port-Base Priority Mode – Any packet received from the specify high priority port will treated as a high priority packet.

The Managed Media Converter supports eight priority level queue, the queue service rate is based on the WRR(Weight Round Robin) and WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) algorithm. The WRR ratio of high-priority and low-priority can be set to "4:1 and 8:1.

4.5.1.2 SSH

Configure SSH on this Page. This Page shows the Port Security status. Port Security is a module with no direct configuration. Configuration comes indirectly from other modules - the user modules. When a user module has enabled port security on a port, the port is set-up for software-based learning. In this mode, frames from unknown MAC addresses are passed on to the port security module, which in turn asks all user modules whether to allow this new MAC address to forward or block it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding state, all enabled user modules must unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to forward. If only one chooses to block it, it will be blocked until that user module decides otherwise.

Ring Wizard	You can quickly build an ERPS ring by wizard.
ERPS	You can configure ERPS ring in detail.

ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring protection switching (ERPS) is a link layer protocol applied on Ethernet loop protection to provide sub-50ms protection and recovery switching for Ethernet traffic in a ring topology. ERPS provides a faster redundant recovery than Spanning Tree topology. The action is similar to STP or RSTP, but the algorithms between them are not the same. In the Ring topology, every switch should be enabled with Ring function and two ports should be assigned as the member ports in the ERPS. Only one switch in the Ring group would be set as the RPL owner switch that one port would be blocked, called owner port, and PRL neighbor switch has one port that one port would be blocked, called neighbor port that connect to owner port directly and this link is called the Ring Protection Link or RPL. Each switch will sends ETH-CCM message to check the link status in the ring group. When the failure of network connection occurs, the nodes block the failed link and report the signal failure message, the RPL owner switch will automatically unblocks the PRL to recover from the failure.

5. SWITCH OPERATION

5.1 Address Table

The Switch is implemented with an address table. This address table is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of some nodes on the network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch.

5.2 Learning

When one packet comes in from any port, the Switch will record the source address, port number and the other related information in the address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.

5.3 Forwarding & Filtering

When one packet comes from some port of the Ethernet Switching, it will also check the destination address besides the source address learning. The Ethernet Switching will look up the address table for the destination address. If not found, this packet will be forwarded to all the other ports except the port, which this packet comes in. And these ports will transmit this packet to the network it connected. If found, and the destination address is located at a different port from this packet comes in, the Ethernet Switching will forward this packet to the port where this destination address is located according to the information from the address table. But, if the destination address is located at the same port with this packet, then this packet will be filtered, thereby increasing the network throughput and availability

5.4 Store-and-Forward

Store-and-Forward is one type of packet-forwarding techniques. A Store-and-Forward Ethernet Switching stores the incoming frame in an internal buffer and does the complete error checking before transmission. Therefore, no error packets occur. It is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability.

The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet-header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability. However, the switch is most commonly used to segment existence hubs, which nearly always improves the overall performance. An Ethernet Switching can be easily configured in any Ethernet network environment to significantly boost bandwidth using the conventional cabling and adapters.

Due to the learning function of the Ethernet switching, the source address and corresponding port number of each incoming and outgoing packet is stored in a routing table. This information is subsequently used to filter packets whose destination address is on the same segment as the source address. This confines network traffic to its respective domain and reduces the overall load on the network.

The Switch performs "Store and forward"; therefore, no error packets occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.

5.5 Auto-Negotiation

The STP ports on the Switch have a built-in "Auto-negotiation". This technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detecting the modes and speeds when both devices are connected. Both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices can connect with the port in either half- or full-duplex mode.

If attached device is:	100BASE-TX port will set to:
10Mbps, without auto-negotiation	10Mbps.
10Mbps, with auto-negotiation	10/20Mbps (10BASE-T/full-duplex)
100Mbps, without auto-negotiation	100Mbps
100Mbps, with auto-negotiation	100/200Mbps (100BASE-TX/full-duplex)

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains information to help you solve your issue. If the Managed Media Converter is not functioning properly, make sure the Managed Media Converter is set up according to instructions in this manual.

■ The Link LED is not lit

Solution:

Check the cable connection and disable duplex mode of the Managed Media Converter

■ Some stations cannot talk to other stations located on the other port

Solution:

Please check the VLAN settings, trunk settings, and port enabled / disabled status.

■ Performance is not as good as expected

Solution:

Check the duplex status of the Managed Media Converter. If the Managed Media Converter is set to full duplex and its counterpart is set to half duplex, the performance will be poor. Please also check the in/out rate of the port.

Why the media converter doesn't connect to the network

Solution:

1. Check the LNK/ACT LED on the Managed Media Converter
2. Make sure the cable is connected properly
3. Make sure the cable is the right type
4. Turn off the power. Wait for a while and turn the power back on.

■ 100BASE-TX port link LED is lit, but the traffic is irregular

Solution:

Check that the attached device is not set to full duplex. Some devices use a physical or software switch to change duplex modes. Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.

■ Media Converter does not power up

Solution:

1. Check if the power adapter plug is inserted correctly.
2. If the power adapter is well connected, check the AC power.
