1.0 Introduction
8G web smart 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 are also 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.
8G 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.

2.1 Configurations
2.1.1.1 System information
The system diagram shows every common system information, they are H/W, F/W version,
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, IP gateway, default VLAN value of management port,
name, password, timeout value, and SNMP communities…etc. Once user finish the setting, he
must press the “ Apply “ button to execute all his setting, and whenever he needs, he may press
the “ Refresh “ button to get updated status of system information.

2.1.1.2 DHCP
The default DHCP is off, so Default IP or user defined IP is used when this machine is
turning-ON, but if this switch needs an IP assigned from DHCP server, user may click the square
field and then press “ Apply “ to get an IP which will be assigned by DCHP server “. User must
be aware that if he enable DHCP from web page, and if the DHCP server is working, then after
enable DHCP, he will lose contact of web page, because the IP address has been changed.
2.1.1.3 relocate HTTP port number
The default port number of HTTP command is 80, but unauthorized user may intrude this
switch if he knows the IP of this switch, network manager may relocate this port number to other
value, from 1024 to 65535, the same idea as above, once network manager change the value of
HTTP’s port number, he will lost contact and he must regain web page by command modified as
below:
http://192.168.223.100:port_value
2.1.1.4 Tag VLAN management group ( CPU port )
At first time you turn on this device, all ports belong to default VLAN ID group (VID=1), so
they can communicate to each other, and hence any port can be used as web
management port to talk with CPU port inside, but, for example, assume user uses port 1
as web management port, then user create VLAN ID=10 on port 7,8 and create another
VLAN ID = 20 on port 5,6, now 3 VLAN groups will be shown on VALN group table after
he press “ Apply “ button. Meanwhile, Tag VALN management Group on System page
now will be shown 3 options to select, user may assign CPU port to one of VLAN
groups by press „Apply“ command, so that he can continue configure or manage
switch through any one port of selected VLAN group. . If VLAN 10 and VLAN ID 20
must be isolated, then user must delete original member port 5,6,7,8 in default VLAN
group ( VID = 1 ). And if user forget what group that CPU belongs to, there are two ways
to solve this condition below.
(1) Through console port, change VLAN ID of CPU port under IP Setup command if he
gets password, or
(2) Press “Reset” button few seconds, let system return to default settings, that is,
---- >> IP address=192.168.223.100; … VID=1, and all settings return to factory default

2.1.2 Ports
Port status page always shows current port status of all 8 ports. User can set link mode, enable or
disable flow control and jumbo frame, however, be noticed that the jumbo frame is global setting,
it can’t be set on individual port but on all ports at a time. A default diagram is shown below,

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.

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.
