VLAN

• 3-4-1 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
• Go to VLAN > IEEE 802.1Q VLAN

IEEE 802.1Q is a protocol for Ethernet frame carrying VLAN tag. The traffic is encapsulated so that a number of logically separate VLANs can be carried by the same physical LAN. The VLAN ID associates a frame with 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 for the TPID (Tag protocol Identifier, residing within the type/length file of the Ethernet frame) and two bytes for the TCI (Tag Control Information, starting 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 defining the 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 priority frames and the value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible number of VLAN configurations is 4094.

• Once the VLAN table is configured and maintained in GS-5208PLG, frames will be handled by all operations of VLAN configuration.
• These operations include the stripping or adding of the IEEE 802.1Q tag.

Trunking

Go to Trunking > LACP
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. The Switch supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk groups.

LACP Global

State

| Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Link Aggregation Algorithm| Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses the MAC SA & DA distribution type.

Select MAC SA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address. Select MAC DA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address. Select MAC SA & DA to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s

source and destination MAC addresses.

Link Group

Activity

| Switch TX LACP control packet Active or Passive.
Link Group

Member

| The check box of ports would be checked after the port is added into the Link Group

successfully.

Apply| Click Apply to save your changes.

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.

QoS
GS-5208PLG provide Quality of Service (QoS) feature. Two kinds of QoS mechanism are provided for traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch to either of them on the Web page. When Quality of Service (QoS) feature is enabled, traffic will be forwarded according to the predefined setting of port-based QoS or 802.1p QoS. If QoS type is set as port-based, the priority is based on the incoming port of the traffic. The current queue for each port is configured as below.

Click “Port-Based QoS” to go to the page shown below
If QoS type is set to 802.1p, the priority is based on the incoming PCP field of the traffic. The current queue for each PCP is configured as below.

Click “IEEE 802.1p QoS” to go to the page shown below

To disable QoS, click on “Disable QoS”.

Broadcast Storm Control
A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the network ports, creating traffic and impacting network performance in a negative way.

The broadcast storm control feature prevents network ports from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or DLF traffic storm. Select a limit in the drop down menus behind the storm control features and click “Apply” to apply the settings.

Rate Limiting

GS-5208PLG provides a Rate Control feature. When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5208PLG provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast packets in your network. Click on a port number to enter the configuration page as shown below:

Click the drop down menus to change the Ingress/Egress rate, and click “Apply” to apply the setting.

Loop Detect/Prevent
GS-5208PLG provides a Loop Protection feature for unmanaged environments. Two kinds of mechanism are available in the GS-5208PLG, which are Loop Detection and Loop Prevention. Users can choose to enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention.

The Loop Discovery frame uses the system MAC as source address. When the port receives the discovery frame and found that the source MAC is the same as system MAC, loop is determined. When the Loop Detection feature is enabled and activated, the switch generates Broadcom proprietary tag frames (Loop Discovery Frames) at a programmed interval, and when it detects a loop, it gives a loop detected warning with a down port LED indication, and the system LED will be blinking. This feature does not repair the loop, but only issues a warning. The GS-5208PLG also includes a Loop Prevention feature which can be enabled. When Loop Prevention is enabled and loop is detected, this feature will disable loop ports and dim the port LED, and the system LED will be blinking.

On the Loop Detect/Prevent page, select either “Off”, “Loop Detection” or “Loop Prevention” and click “Apply” to apply the settings.

IGMP Snooping

When the IGMP Snooping is enabled, the GS-5208PLG will process IGMP control packets for multicast traffic forwarding. The switch will record information of IGMP v2 packets and maintain database for multicast traffic. Multicast traffic will then be forwarded according to the database. When IGMP Snooping feature is enabled, switch will record information of IGMP v3 packets and maintain database for multicast traffic. Then multicast traffic will be forwarded according to the database. In IGMP v3, multiple multicast group and source IP information can be recorded in one IGMP v3 packet, GS-5208PLG will record each multicast group address and ignore source IP information.

When the IGMP Snooping feature is enabled and IGMP Static Router Port is set, only this port can be used as a router port, other ports will be as member ports only. In this case, member ports receive query packets will drop the query packets. When “Enable IGMP Snooping” is selected, IGMP Static Router Port can be selected using the drop down menu. Click “Apply” to apply the setting

POE

The GS-5208PLG provides a Power over Ethernet (PoE) manager feature. The IC of the PoE module is Microsemi PD69104B. The PoE module manager enables network devices to share power and data over a single cable. The PoE module is employed by both Ethernet switches and Midspans. The PoE module is a 4 port, mixed-single, high-voltage PoE Manager and supports Semi Auto mode. The PoE module executes all real time functions as specified in the IEEE 802.3af-2003 (“AF”) and IEEE 802.3at High Power (“AT”) standards.

The PoE module supports detect legacy/pre-standard PD devices. It also provides PD real-time protection through the following mechanisms: overload, under-load, over-voltage, over-temperature, and short-circuit. The PD69104B can supply voltages between 44V and 57V without additional power supply and has a built-in thermal protection.

Click on a port number and the options are shown below:

• Click the drop down menu to select whether to turn on or off PoE function.
• Click “Apply” to apply the settings

Notice According to GNU General Public License Version 2
This product includes software that is subject to the GNU General Public License version 2. The program is free software and distributed without any warranty of the author. We offer, valid for at least three years, to give you, for a charge no more than the costs of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software–to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.

We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we hav made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The ‘“Program’“, below, refers to any such program or work, and a ‘“work based on the Program’“ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term ‘“modification’“.) Each licensee is addressed as ‘“you’“. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

   • You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
   • You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
   • If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions forother licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
   • Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent
     is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
     Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

   • Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   • Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   • Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

4. The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license  from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ‘“any later version’“, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation

If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ‘“AS IS’“ WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE
