1.0 Introduction
AirLive ETHER-GSH8TW v2 switch is a high performance web-smart switch that provides up
to 8 10/100/1000Mbps copper Ethernet ports, this device provides a great flexibility for
nowadays variety of network application but at lower cost. User doesn’t have to learn many
sophisticated management function which are usually shown in SNMP switch but just to learn
some simple or common control or setting function through either out-of-band RS232 port or
Ethernet port, however, some new, advanced and important function such as Tag-VLAN,
Trunking, RSTP and IGMP will be supported same as SNMP switch, this means, user doesn’t
have to pay high cost as tradition layer 2 SNMP switch does while he still can get advanced or
common function to meet requirement of general network application. This makes it very
suitable for small or medium size company to build up simple network at beginning phase with
lower cost. Besides, a optional long-ear accessory also makes it possible to operate in the rack
mount environment.
Non-blocking and maximum wire speed performance are designed on all switched ports, it not
only supports auto-negotiation but also AUTO-MDIX function on all switched 8 10/100/1000M
RJ-45 Gigabit copper ports no matter running with half or full duplex mode, these function make
user easy to use and reduce the matching effort between straight and cross-over line issues.
AirLive ETHER-GSH8TW+ web smart switch supports both port-based and 802.1Q (tag-based)
VLAN to catch-up the application needed in incoming VLAN age. To increase bandwidth
application, it supports up to 4 trunk groups with maximum 8 ports on one Trunk, moreover,
these trunk ports are with fair-over function to provide redundant back-up when one or some of
trunk ports malfunction. Moreover, to reduced convergent time of STP protocol, Rapid STP
( RSTP ) is supported, to support multicast application IGMP is also supported. ,
Fully LED status display ease user’s installation, a reset button is also provided to make user
easy to go back to default setting.

it can’t be set on individual port but on all device ports at a time. A default diagram is shown

2.1.3 Port-based VLAN
Port-based VLAN is a kind of VLAN which is a group of ports marked as a kind by group ID,
different VLAN ( different ID ) can’t communicate to each other. Before the setting, user must
be aware of that there is a default Port-based VLAN, his group ID is 1, so, if user wants to set
another new port-based VLAN, better set another group ID rather than 1. After press “ Apply
“ button, the screen will show a new port-based VLAN if he add a new group or screen will
delete a port-based VLAN if he delete a group. The important thing is that port-based VLAN
is valid only within same device, it will never be valid cross the devices. A default diagram is
shown below.

2.1.4 Tag-based VLAN
Tag-based VLAN is another kind of VLAN which is a group of ports marked as same kind by
assigning a tag-value on each port, same as port-based VLAN, different VLAN ( different ID )
can’t communicate to each other, and before the setting, there is a default tag-based VLAN,
which ID is 1 ( VLAN ID=1 ), so, if he wants to set another new tag-based VLAN, better set
another VLAN ID rather than 1 ( tag-base VALN ID ranged from 1 ~ 4094 ). After press “ Apply
“ button, the screen will show a new tag-based VLAN if user add a new VALN, or, a tag-VLAN
will be vanished if user delete a VLAN. Two important things must be emphasized here, one is
that tag-based VLAN members are valid not only within same device, but also cross the devices
as long as they are with same VLAN ID; the other important thing is user must keep in mind
that the management-port ( CPU port )VLAN ID should be the same as some member VLAN ID
if user want to management through that port, or, management communication will be failed
because different VLAN ( different ID ) can’t communicate to each other.
A default diagram is shown below.

After assign a tag VLAN, there are further attributes parameter can be assigned for some
advanced tag-VLAN application, here below are explanation when entering the “ Port Config “,
they are:
1. VLAN Aware mode:
Enable - Strip VLAN tag from received frame, and insert VLAN tag in transmitted frame
except ingress frames which tag VID = PVID
Disable – default state, this means, switch doesn’t do VLAN tag stripping and insertion.
2. Ingress filtering:
Enable - Check ingress frame VLAN ID. Ingress frame will be dropped if frame's VID is not
the same as the VID of the ingress port which belongs to a member of a VLAN
group
Disable – Don’t do ingress VLAN frame checking, the frame will be flood if VID is not the
same
3. Accept Packet Type:
ALL - Accept all ingress frames
Tagged only - Only accept ingress frames with VLAN tag
4. Port VID:
Set port VLAN ID for untagged ingress frames. Set "None" for trunk port member.

Different from the static port trunking, LACP provides another way to dynamically aggregate

Two parameters need to be set per port basis in this webpage:
Protocol Enabled – to enable/disable LACP protocol for a port.
Key Value – a number (1~255) to identify the LACP group for a port. All
member ports in a LACP group have the same key values. Key number will be
automatically generated if “auto” value is set
Choose and click the trunk ports you want to group. For example, select port 7 and port 8 to
group into a LACP group with key value 20 for both ports, then press “ Apply” to activate the
setting. The following figure is the result:
