Introduction
1.1 Introduction to Industrial Managed Switch
Atop’s EHG (Ethernet Switching Hub Full Gigabit) 65XX series are product lines
of powerful industrial lite-managed booster switch which are referred to as
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 2 bridging devices. Unlike an
“unmanaged” switch, which is normally found in homes or in Small Office/Home
Office (SOHO) environments and runs in “auto-negotiation” mode, each port on a
“managed switch” can be configured for its link bandwidth, priority, security,
and duplex settings. The managed switches can be managed by Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) software, or web browsers. Since every single port
can be configured to specific settings, network administrators can better
control the network and maximize network functionality.
Atop’s managed switch is also an industrial switch and not a commercial
switch. A commercial switch simply works in a comfortable office environment.
However, an industrial switch is designed to perform in harsh industrial
environments, i.e., extreme temperature, high humidity, dusty air, potential
high impact, or the presence of potentially high static charges. Atop’s
managed switch works fine even in these environments.
Atop’s managed switch is designed to provide faster, secure, and more stable
network. One advantage that makes it a powerful switch is that it supports
network redundancy protocols/technologies such as iA-Ring, and Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol (RSTP). These protocols provide better network reliability and
decrease recovery time down to less than 20 ms.
Atop’s managed switch supports a wide range of IEEE standard protocols. This
switch is excellent for keeping systems running smoothly, reliable for
preventing system damage or losses, and friendly to all levels of users. The
goal of this innovative product is to bring users an enhanced network
management experience.
Note: Throughout the manual, the symbol * indicates that more detailed
information of the subject will be provided at the end of this book or as a
footnote.

Chapter 2 explains how to access the industrial managed switch for the first
time. The web brower is the easiest way to configure this Ethernet Switch. The
web browser allows users to access the switch over the Internet or the
Ethernet LAN. Telnet and Command Line Interface (CLI) are not supported by
EHG65xx. Users are recommended to use the web browser method to configure the
system because of its user-friendly interface.
2.1 Web-based Management Basics
Users can access the managed switch easily using their web browsers (Internet
Explorer 8 or 11, Firefox 44, Chrome 48 or later versions are recommended). We
will proceed to use a web browser to introduce the managed switch’s functions.

2.3.2 IP Setting
This subsection is divided into two parts: IP Setting and Current IP address
information. In this subsection, the user may modify network settings of
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the managed switch, e.g. Static IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS (domain name server), and Secondary
DNS. As shown in Figure 2.14, the user can choose to enable DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) by checking the box behind it. That is the IP address
and related information can be automatically obtained from a DHCP server in
the local network thus reducing the work for an administrator. By disabling
this function (DHCP’s box is unchecked), the user has an option to setup the
static IP address and related fields manually.

2.3.3 Modbus Setting
Atop’s managed switch can be connected to a Modbus network using Modbus TCP/IP
protocol which is an industrial network protocol for controlling automation
equipment. The managed switch’s status and settings can be read and written
through Modbus TCP/IP protocol which operates similar to a Management
Information Base (MIB) browser. The managed switch will be a Modbus slave
which can be remotely configured by a Modbus master. The Modbus slave address
must be set to match the setting inside the Modbus master. In order to access
the managed switch, a Modbus Address must be assigned as described in this
subsection. A Modbus memory mapping table, which lists all the register’s
addresses inside the managed switch and their descriptions, is provide in
Chapter 4 Modbus Memory Map. Figure 2.16 shows the Modbus Setting webpage.
Figure 2.16 Webpage for Setting the Modbus Address Figure 2.16 shows the
webpage that users can set up the Modbus ID address. Users can use Modbus
TCP/IP compatible applications such as Modbus Poll to configure the switch.
Note that Modbus Poll can be download from
http://www.modbustools.com/download.html. The Modbus Poll 64-bit version
7.0.0, Build 1027 was used in this document. However, Atop does not provide
this software to the users. Tutorial of Modbus read and write examples are
illustrated below. Note that the switch only supports Modbus function code 03,
04 (for Read) and 06 (for Write).

2.4 Forwarding
There are many network technologies for forwarding packets over network. In
this industrial managed switch, three main technologies are implemented: QoS,
rate control, and storm control. Figure 2.34 depicts the submenus under the
Forwarding section.
Figure 2.34 Forwarding Dropdown Menu
2.4.1 QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to provide different priority to
different applications, users, or data flows. QoS guarantees a certain level
of performance to a data flow by using the following metrics: transmitted bit
rate, bit error rate, delay, jitter, and probability of packet dropping. QoS
guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially
for application that requires certain bit rate and is delay sensitive. For any
network that is best effort, QoS cannot be guaranteed, except that resource is
more than sufficient to serve users.
Controlling network traffic needs a set of rules to help classify different
types of traffic and define how each of them should be treated as they are
being transmitted. This managed switch can inspect both 802.1p Class of
Service (CoS) tags and DiffServ tags called Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) to provide consistent classification.
In the QoS section, three QoS mechanisms are included: queuing methods or
packet scheduling disciplines in Setting section, CoS Queuing Mapping section,
and DSCP Mapping section, as shown in Figure 2.35. Table 2.4 summarizes the
descriptions of QoS Setting. See notes in the following subsection for more
details.

2.4.1.1 QoS Setting
Two types of queuing methods are configurable in this managed switch: Strict
Priority and Weighted Round-Robin.
In Strict Priority, the QoS scheduler allows the highest priority queue to
preempt other queues as long as there are still packets waiting to be
transmitted in the highest priority queue. This mode guarantees that traffic
in the highest queue is always transmitted first. Only if the high priority
queues are empty, the lower priority queues can be transmitted. Queue 0 (Q0)
to Queue 7 (Q7) are ranked from the lowest priority queue to the highest
priority queue. Therefore, packets in Q7 will be all transmitted first before
packets in Q6, and packets in Q6 will all be sent first before packets in Q5,
and so on in this order.
Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is the simplest approximation of generalized
processor sharing (GPS). In WRR, each packet flow or connection has its own
packet queue in a network interface controller. It ensures that all service
classes have access to at least some configured amount of network bandwidth to
avoid bandwidth starvation. But WRR has a limitation, as it is unfair with
variable length packets. It only provides the correct percentage of bandwidth
to each service class only if all of the packets in all the queues are the
same size or when the mean packet size is known in advance. Usually, a weight
of each queue is set proportion to requested bit rate. Each queue is served
proportionally to its weight for a service cycle. Figure 2.36 depicts the QoS
Setting webpage.
By default, the QoS in the managed switch works under the Strict Priority
mode. For Weighted Round Robin, packet weights of Q0 to Q7 are set in term of
packet as followings.
– COS Q0 = 2 packets – COS Q1 = 1 packet – COS Q2 = 3 packets – COS Q3 = 6
packets – COS Q4 = 2 packets – COS Q5 = 17 packets – COS Q6 = 25 packets – COS
Q7 = 33 packets
Figure 2.36 QoS Setting Webpage
At the bottom of the QoS Setting webpage in Figure 2.36, the users can select
the packet classification scheme that will be used by the managed switch.
There are two classification types to choose from the drop-down list: 802.1p
CoS only or Both 802.1p CoS and DiffServ. The default classification type is
802.1p CoS only. Note that after changing the schedule discipline, setting the
desired weights if any for the WRR , or selecting the classification type,
please click on the Update button to enable them on the switch.

2.4.1.2 CoS Queue Mapping
802.1p CoS is the QoS technique developed by the IEEE P802.1p working group,
known as Class of Service (CoS) mechanism at Media Access Control (MAC) level.
It is a 3-bit field called the priority code point (PCP) within an Ethernet
frame header (Layer 2) when using VLAN tagged frames as defined by IEEE
802.1Q. It specifies a priority value between 0 and 7 that can be used by QoS
to differentiate traffic. When this option is enabled, the switch inspects the
802.1p CoS tag in the MAC frame to determine the priority of each frame.
The switch can classify traffic based on a valid 802.1p (CoS – Class of
Service) priority tag. These options allow users to map Priority Code Point
(PC) within an Ethernet frame header to different CoS priority queues as shown
in Figure 2.37. The user can choose the desired CoS Priority Queue from the
drop-down list from Q1 to Q7 for each PCP value. Descriptions of priority
queue in CoS Queue Mapping page are summarized in Table 2.5.

2.4.1.3 DSCP Mapping
DiffServ/ToS stands for Differentiated Services/Type of Services. It is a
networking architecture that specifies a simple but scalable mechanism for
classifying network traffic and providing QoS guarantees on networks. DiffServ
uses a 6-bit Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) in the 8-bit
differentiated services field (DS field) in the IP header for packet
classification purposes. The DS field and ECN field replace the outdated IPv4
TOS field in IPv4 to make per-hop behavior decisions about packet
classification and traffic conditioning functions, such as metering, marking,
shaping, and policing.
Page 29 of 63

The RFCs (Request for Comments) do not dictate the way to implement Per-Hop
Behaviors (PHBs). Atop implements queuing techniques that can base their PHB
on the IP precedence or DSCP value in the IP header of a packet. Based on DSCP
or IP precedence, traffic can be put into a particular service class. Packets
within a service class are treated the same way.
DiffServ allows compatibility with legacy routers, which only supports IP
Precedence, since it uses the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP), which is the
combination of IP precedence and Type of Service fields.
TOS (Type of Service) of the switch can be configured with the default queue
weights as shown in Figure 2.38. Note that the TOS consists of DSCP
(Differentiated Service Code Point (6 bits)) and ECN (Explicit Congestion
Notification (2 bits)). The users can assign TOS values (DSCP) to predefined
queue types (Priority) manually using DSCP Mapping web page in Figure 2.38.
The priority number can be between 0 to 7 where the number 7 is the highest
priority and 0 is the lowest priority. After assigning any new priority to a
DSCP, please click the Update button at the bottom of the page to allow the
new mapping to take effect.

2.4.2 Rate Control The users have options to set the Rate Control for each
port on the managed switch as shown in Figure 2.39. The rate control mechanism
will set a limit or maximum data rate which the port can transmit. Moreover,
the rate control can be imposed on both directions: the incoming traffic
(Ingress) and the outgoing traffic (Egress). However, there are some
restrictions on the values that can be set on these two rate control
parameters. Here is the summary of the rules for Rate Control settings:
· The outgoing (Egress) and incoming (Ingress) values have to be set between 0
and 1,000,000. · The value 0 is set to turn off the rate control mechanism. ·
The values have to be integer and multiple of 64 when the transmission rate is
less than 1,000 Kbps. For
example: 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, and 512 Kbps. · The values have to be integer and
multiple of 1,000 when the transmission rate is between 1,000 Kbps and
100,000 Kbps. Ex: 1,000 Kbps, 3,000 Kbps… 100,000 Kbps. · The values have to
be integer and multiple of 10,000 Kbps when transmission rate is greater than

2.4.3 Storm Control
This subsection provides the storm control or storm filter features of the
managed switch. Storm control prevents traffic on a LAN from being disrupted
by ingress traffic of broadcast, multicast, and destination lookup failure
(DLF) on a port. Figure 2.40 depicts the Storm Control webpage. The users can
impose the same limiting parameters on all ports at the same time by clicking
on the box in front of all line and set the storm control data rate under each
limiting column (DLF, Multicast, Broadcast). The storm control limiting can
also be independently control on each port. Note that the limiting value of 0
means that the storm control is disable and the value must be in multiples of
64kbps. Additional ingress storm traffic will be dropped after the limit has
reached.

destination MAC address in its MAC Table first. In case that a MAC address
cannot be found in the Table, which means DLF occurs, the switch will forward
the packets to all ports that are in the same LAN.
– Multicast: This type of transmission sends messages from one host to
multiple hosts. Only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group
will receive it. Network devices that support multicast send only one copy of
the information across the network until the delivery path that reaches group
members diverges. At these diverging points, multicast packets will be copied
and forwarded. This method helps reducing high traffic volumes due to large
number of destinations, using network bandwidth efficiently.
– Broadcast: Messages are sent to all devices in the network.

2.6 VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a group of devices that can be located
anywhere on a network, but all devices in the group are logically connected
together. In other words, VLAN allows end stations to be grouped together even
if they are not located on the same network switch. With a traditional
network, users usually spend a lot of time on devices relocations, but a VLAN
reconfiguration can be performed entirely through software. Also, VLAN
provides extra security because devices within a VLAN group can only
communicate with other devices in the same group. For the same reason, VLAN
can help to control network traffic. Traditional network broadcasts data to
all devices, no matter whether they need it or not. By allowing a member to
receive data only from other members in the same VLAN group, VLAN avoids
broadcasting and increases traffic efficiency (see Figure 2.44).

2.6.2 802.1Q VLAN
Tagging-based (802.1Q) VLAN is the networking standard that supports virtual
LAN (VLANs) on an Ethernet network. The standard defines a system of VLAN
tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures for bridges and
switches in handling such frames. The standard also contains provisions for a
quality-of-service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE 802.1Q.
VLAN tagging frames are frames with 802.1Q (VLAN) tags that specify a valid
VLAN identifier (VID). Whereas, untagged frames are frames without tags or
frames that carry 802.1p (prioritization) tags and only having prioritization
information and a VID of 0. When a switch receives a tagged frame, it extracts
the VID and forwards the frame to other ports in the same VLAN.
For a 802.1Q VLAN packet, it adds a tag (32-bit field) to the original packet.
The tag is between the source MAC address and the EtherType/length fields of
the original frame. For the tag, the first 16 bits is the Tag protocol
identifier (TPID) field which set to a value of 0x8100 in order to identify
the frame as an IEEE 802.1Q-tagged frame. This field is located at the same
position as the EtherType/length field in untagged frames, and is thus used to
distinguish the frame from untagged frames. The next 3 bits is the Tag control
information (TCI) field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p class of service and
maps to the frame priority level. The next one bit is the Drop Eligible
Indicator (DEI) field which may be used separately or in conjunction with PCP
to indicate frames eligible to be dropped in the presence of congestion. The
last 12 bits is the VLAN identifier (VID) field specifying the VLAN to which
the frame belongs.
Under the 802.1Q VLAN menu, there are three submenus which are Setting, PVID
Setting, and VLAN Table as shown in Figure 2.47.

2.7 Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an optional function for the managed switches
which enables the switch to provide power supply to end devices called Powered
Device (PD) connected on the other side of the Ethernet ports. This means that
the electrical power is delivered along with data over the Ethernet cables.
This will be useful for the end devices that are located in the area that has
no power supply and the users can save additional wiring for the end devices.
To find out whether this function is supported or not by your managed switch,
please look for the keyword “PoE” in Atop’s model name. If the switch has
“PoE” in its model name, it means that the switch is a Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) that can provide power output to a Powered Device (PD). Figure

users can set Enable status and member ports of every profile in PoE Schedule
Profile page as shown in Figure 2.52. Each port can only belong to one PoE
profile. If users want all ports in the same PoE setting, enable the “Select
All Port” checkbox will add all port to profile 1. Disable the “Select All
Port” checkbox will remove all port from profile 1. A port can provide power
supply to end devices only if it belongs to a PoE schedule profile which is
enabled, and the time is selected. The users can select the time they want to
supply power for ports in PoE schedule page. Please also click on the Update
button to save the setting of PoE schedule profile on the switch.
The default PoE Schedule Profile setting is all ports belong to profile 1, and
only profile 1 is enable as shown in Table 2.14. The number of profiles and
ports depends on the EHG model of the user’s managed switch.

2.8 Trunking
The managed switch supports Link Trunking, which allows one or more links to
be combined together as a group of links to form a single logical link with
larger capacity. The advantage of this function is that it gives the users
more flexibility while setting up network connections. The bandwidth of a
logical link can be doubled or tripled. In addition, if one of links in the
group is disconnected, the remaining trunked ports can share the traffic
within the trunk group. This function creates redundancy for the links, which
also implies a higher reliability for network communication. Figure 2.55 shows
the Trunking dropdown menu.
Figure 2.55 Trunking Dropdown Menu 2.8.1 Trunking Setting In this subsection,
the user can create new trunking assignment(s) and remove existing trunking
assignment(s). Figure 2.56 illustrates the Trunking Setting webpage. The top
part of the page called Trunking Status lists existing trunk(s) which can be
removed by pressing the Remove button in the last column. Each line of the
trunking provides information about the group of links (Trunk) based on Group
ID labeled with Trkx where x is the integer number from 1 to 5. The managed
switch can support up to 5 trunk groups. Note that for the difference media
types (for

2.9 Spanning Tree
IEEE 802.1D Standard spanning tree functionality is supported by Atop’s
managed switches. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a function to
prevent switching loops and broadcast radiation at the OSI layer 2. A
switching loop occurs in a network when there are multiple connections or
redundant paths between two network switches or at least two ports are
connected on both sides of the two network switches. The switching loop can
create a broadcast radiation, which is the accumulation of broadcast and
multicast traffics in a computer network. As broadcast and multicast messages
are forwarded by bridges/switches to every port, the bridges/switches will
repeatedly rebroadcast the broadcast messages, and this accumulation of
traffic can flood the network. STP creates a spanning tree topology and
disables those links of the network that are not part of the spanning tree,
which leaves only a single active path between two nodes. This function can
avoid flooding and increase network efficiency. Therefore, Atop’s managed
switches deploy spanning tree as a tool when the users set up connection or
port redundancy or fault-tolerance in their network.
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), IEEE 802.1W then superseded by IEEE
802.1D-2004, is also supported in ATOP’s managed switches. It is an evolution
of the STP, but it is still backwards compatible with standard STP. RSTP has
the advantage over the STP. When there is a topology change such as link
failure in the network, the RSTP will converge significantly faster to a new
spanning tree topology. RSTP improves convergence on point-topoint links by
reducing the Max-Age time to 3 times Hello interval, removing the STP
listening state, and exchanging a handshake between two switches to quickly
transition the port to forwarding state.
This section describes how to setup the spanning tree protocol (STP), rapid
spanning tree protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
Figure 2.57 depicts the dropdown menu for Spanning Tree.
Figure 2.57 Spanning Tree Dropdown Menu 2.9.1 Spanning Tree Setting The users
can select the spanning tree mode which are based on different spanning tree
protocols in this webpage. Figure 2.58 shows the mode setting for spanning
tree. There are one spanning tree modes to choose from the dropdown menu,
which is rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP). After choosing the desired mode,
please click Update button to allow the change to take effect.

Internet Group Management Protocol is used on IPv4 networks for establishing
multicast group memberships.
Internet Protocol
Internet Protocol version 4 is the fourth revision of the Internet Protocol.
Together with IPv6, it is the core of internet network. It uses 32-bit
addresses, which means there are only 2^32 possible unique addresses. Because
of this limitation, an IPv4 addresses became scarce resource. This has
stimulated the development of IPv6.

Message-Digest algorithm 5 is a widely used cryptographic which has a function
with a 128-bit hash value.
This type of transmission sends messages from one host to multiple hosts. Only
those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will receive the
multicast. Also, networks that support multicast send only one copy of the
information across the network until the delivery path that reaches group
members diverges. At these diverges points, multicast packets will be copied
and forwarded. This method can manage high volume of traffic with different
destinations while using network bandwidth efficiently.
