Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 2-1-2-3. Switch Cascading in Network Topology • Takes the Delay Time into Account Theoretically, the switch partitions the collision domain for each port in switch cascading that you may uplink the switches unlimitedly. In practice, the network extension (cascading levels & overall diameter) must follow the constraints of the IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z and other 802.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Case1: All switch ports are in the same local area network. Every port can access each other (See Fig. 2-2). Fig. 2-2 No VLAN Configuration Diagram If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate with each other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area. Here, the VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tag-based VLAN.

Configuring the Management Agent of the 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Through the use of a web browser, the user is allowed to begin the switch management function. The user can use any one of the ports to monitor and configure the switch. The user can manage and administer the switch through the following procedures.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 2-1-3-1. Configuring Management Agent of the 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch through an Ethernet Port There are two ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s Ethernet port: by using a Web browser and by using an SNMP manager. The user interface for the SNMP manager is NMS dependent and is not covered here; the Web-based UI for the switch is a highly user-friendly interface.

IP Address Assignment For IP address configuration, there are three parameters that need to be filled in. They are the IP address, Subnet Mask, and the Default Gateway. IP address: The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication. Its address structure looks as shown in Fig. 2-8.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Classful addressing divides IP addresses into three classes: class A, class B and class C. The remaining valid IP addresses are used for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example, 192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address range described below. Class A: Valid addresses are those less than 126.255.255.255.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Class D and E: Class D is a class with the first 4 MSB (Most Significant Bits) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with the first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for IP broadcast. According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP address blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal network.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask that is 25 bits long, 255.255.255.128, contains 126 members in the sub-netted network. Another concept to be remembered is that the length of the network prefix equals the number of the bits with 1s in that subnet mask. Using this information, the number of IP addresses matched can be easily counted. The following table shows the result. Prefix Length No. of IP matched No.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like 255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network. Default gateway: For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as the default router. Basically, it is a routing policy.

What’s Ethernet? Ethernet originated and was implemented at Xerox in Palo Alto, CA in 1973 and was successfully commercialized by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel and Xerox (DIX) in 1980.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch IEEE 802.2 LLC Data Link Layer IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD MAC IEEE 802.3 PLS CS Physical Layer MII ANSI X3T9.5 PMD IEEE 802.3 MAU Fiber Coaxial/STP/UTP The diagram above shows the Ethernet architecture, LLC sub-layer, and MAC sub-layer, which are responded to the Data Link layer, and transceivers, which are correspond to the Physical layer in the OSI model. In this section, we are mainly describing the MAC sub-layer.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Table 3-1 LLC Format Table 3-1 is the format of the LLC PDU. It is comprised of four fields: DSAP, SSAP, Control and Information. The DSAP address field identifies one or more service access points, in which the I/G bit indicates if it is an individual or group address. If all bits of the DSAP are 1s, it is a global address. The SSAP address field identifies the specific services indicated by the C/R bit (command or response).
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig. 3-2 SAP Format 3-2. Media Access Control (MAC) MAC Addressing Because a LAN is composed of many nodes, for the data exchanged among these nodes, each node must have its own unique address to identify who should send the data or should receive the data. In the OSI model, each layer provides its own means to identify the unique address in some form; for example, an IP address in the network layer.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Bit 47 1st byte 2nd byte OUI code 3rd byte 4th byte 5th byte Serial number bit 0 6th byte Table 3-3 Ethernet MAC address The first bit of the first byte in the Destination address (DA) determines the address to be a Unicast (0) or Multicast frame (1), known as an I/G bit indicating individual (0) or group (1). So the 48-bit address space is divided into two portions, Unicast and Multicast.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch - Destination address (DA) — The DA field is used to identify which network device(s) should receive the packet. It is a unique address. Please see the section concerning MAC addressing. - Source addresses (SA) — The SA field indicates the source node. The SA is always an individual address and the left-most bit in the SA field is always 0.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch How does a MAC work? The MAC sub-layer has two primary jobs to do: 1. Receiving and transmitting data. When receiving data, it parses frames to detect errors; when transmitting data, it performs frame assembly. 2. Performing Media access control. It prepares the initiation jobs for a frame transmission and facilitates recovery from transmission failure.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch An Ethernet MAC transmits frames in half-duplex and full-duplex modes. In the half-duplex operation mode, the MAC can either transmit or receive a frame at a given moment, but cannot do both jobs at the same time. As the transmission of a MAC frame with the half-duplex operation exists only in the same collision domain, the carrier signal needs to spend time to travel to reach the targeted device.

Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-3. Flow Control Flow control is a mechanism used to tell the source device to stop sending frames for a specified period of time designated by the target device until the PAUSE time expires. This is accomplished by sending a PAUSE frame from the target device to the source device. When the target is not busy and the PAUSE time is expired, it will send another PAUSE frame with zero time-to-wait to the source device.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Frame Reception In essence, the frame reception is the same in both half duplex and full duplex operations, except that full-duplex operation uses two buffers to transmit and receive the frames independently. The receiving node always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch What if a VLAN tagging is applied? VLAN tagging is a 4-byte long data string immediately following the MAC source address. When tagged VLAN is applied, the Ethernet frame structure will have a little change, shown as follows. Only two fields, VLAN ID and Tag control information, are different in comparison with the basic Ethernet frame. The rest of the fields are the same.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch The maximum length of the extension is equal to the quantity (slotTime minFrameSize). The MAC continues to monitor the medium for collisions while it is transmitting extension bits, and it will treat any collision that occurs after the threshold (slotTime) as a late collision. 3-4.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig.3-5 Collision Domain Extended Distance Limitations: The diameter of a half-duplex LAN segment is determined by its maximum propagation delay time. For example, in 10 M LAN, the maximum distance of a LAN segment using yellow “Thicknet” cable is 2500 meters and 185 meters when using coaxial “Thinnet” cable. The switch with its collision domain per port can extend the distance as a bridge does.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig. 3-6 How does a switch operate? A Layer 2 switch uses some features of the Data Link layer in the OSI model to forward the packet to the destination port(s). Here we introduce some important features of a switch and how they work.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch MAC address aging There is a field in the MAC address table used to establish the entry’s Age time, which determines how long a MAC entry can reside in a switch. The age time is refreshed when a packet with that SA is received. Usually, the age time is programmable. Transmission schedule In most layer 2 switches, the QoS function is supported. QoS in a switch must associate a transmission schedule to transmit the packet.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-5. Virtual LAN What is a VLAN? It is a subset of a LAN. Before we discuss VLAN, we must understand what a LAN (Local Area Network) is. In general, a LAN is composed of different physical network segments bridged by switches or bridges which attach to end stations in the same broadcast domain. The traffic can reach any station on the same LAN. Beyond this domain, the traffic cannot be sent without the help of a router.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Fig. 3-8 In this diagram, VLAN technology is applied to configure the system as shown as the figure above. We can partition the users into the different logical networks which have their own broadcast domain. The traffic in one VLAN will not disturb others of these logical networks. The users 1x (x denotes a ~ d) are members of VLAN 1. Any traffic within VLAN 1 does not flow to VLAN 2 or any others.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch There are many types of VLAN that can be applied to a LAN. The most popular types are port-based VLAN, tag-based VLAN and protocol-based VLAN. Port-based VLAN Some physical ports are configured as members of a VLAN. All stations attached on these ports can communicate with each other. Tag-based VLAN Tag-based VLAN identifies the membership by VLAN ID, no matter where the packet comes from. It is also referred to as 802.1Q VLAN.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch VLAN-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying a VLAN tag field, containing VLAN identification without the values of 0 and 4095, and priority information. Priority-tagged frame: An Ethernet frame, carrying a VLAN tag field, containing VLAN identification with the value of 0, and priority information. Untagged frame: An Ethernet frame carrying no VLAN tag information. VLAN Identifier: Also referred to as VID.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Ingress Rule: Each packet received by a VLAN-aware bridge will be classified to a VLAN. The classification rule is described as follows. 1. If the VID of the packet is null VID (VID=0), or this packet is an untagged packet: a. If there are still some other ways (e.g. protocol, MAC address, application, IP-subnet, etc.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch How does a Tagged VLAN work? If ingress filtering is enabled and when a packet is received, the VLAN bridge will first check if the VID of the packet is presented. 1). If the packet has a non-zero VID, the VLAN bridge will apply this VID as the VLAN ID of the packet in the network. 2). For a packet with a null tag or no VLAN tag, if the VLAN bridge provides rules to decide its VID, then it will apply this VID to the packet.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch 3-6. Link Aggregation The basic function of Link Aggregation is to aggregate the bandwidth of more than one port to an assigned logical link. This highly increases the total available bandwidth to the targeted device. There is more than one Link Aggregation technology in many vendors’ switch products already, which may cause an interoperability problem. This is the reason why the 802.
Signamax 065-7931 16-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX WebSmart Switch Terminology Link Aggregation: Link Aggregation is a method to have multiple physical links with the same media and speed bundled to be a logical link forming a Link Aggregation Group with a group ID. From the viewpoint of the MAC client, each Link Aggregation Group is an independent link. There are three cases of links used in the network: switch to switch, switch to station and station to station.
