1. Introduction
1-1. Overview of the 065-7840 Managed Switch
The 065-7840 Managed Switch is a standard switch that meets all IEEE
802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast, and standard Ethernet specifications. The switch includes
22-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps TP and 2-Port Gigabit TP/SFP Fiber management
Ethernet switch. The switch can be managed through its RS-232 serial port via
direct connection, or through an Ethernet port using its Command Line Interface
(CLI) or the Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI) associated
with its SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administrator can log on to
the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a user-friendly way.
The overall network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is also
improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch
features comprehensive and useful functions such as QoS (Quality of Service),
Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security,
SNMP/RMON, and IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent switching software.
It is suitable for both metro-LAN and office applications.
In this switch, Ports 23 & 24 includes two types of media --- TP (Twisted Pair)
and SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Fiber (LC, BiDi LC…); this port supports
10/100/1000 Mbps TP or 1000 Mbps SFP Fiber with an auto-detection function.
1000 Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is used for high-speed connection expansion.
⎯1000 Mbps LC, Multimode, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, singlemode 10 km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, singlemode 30 km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps LC, singlemode 50 km, SFP Fiber transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps BiDi LC, singlemode 20 km, 1550nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver
⎯1000 Mbps BiDi LC, singlemode 20 km, 1310nm SFP Fiber WDM transceiver
Each 10/100/1000 Mbps TP port is a standard Ethernet port that meets all
IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast, and standard Ethernet specifications. 1000 Mbps
SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE
802.3z and 1000Base-SX/LX standards.
1000 Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optical
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional
full duplex signals over a single fiber simultaneously.
For upgrading firmware, please refer to Section 3-21 or Section 4-2-2 for
more details. The switch will not stop operating while upgrading firmware and after
that, the configuration remains unchanged.

• Key Features
QoS:
Support Quality of Service by the IEEE 802.1P standard. There are two
priority queue and packet transmission schedules using Weighted Round
Robin (WRR). User-defined weight classification of packet priority can be
based on either a VLAN tag on packet or a user-defined port priority.
Spanning Tree:
Supports IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1w (RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol) and IEEE 802.1s (MSTP: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol)
standards.
VLAN:
Supports Port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN. Supports 256
active VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094.
Port Trunking:
Support static port trunking and port trunking with IEEE 802.3ad LACP.
Bandwidth Control:
Support ingress and egress per port bandwidth control.
Port Security:
Support allowed, denied forwarding and port security with MAC address.
SNMP/RMON:
SNMP agent and RMON MIB. In the device, the SNMP agent is client
software which is operating over SNMP protocol used to receive the
command from a SNMP manager (server site) and echo the corresponded
data, i.e. MIB object. Additionally, the SNMP agent will actively issue TRAP
information when it occurs.
RMON is the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of
the SNMP MIB.
The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON
MIB (RFC 1757)-statistics Group 1,2,3,9, VLAN MIB (802.1Q, RFC2674),
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643) and so on.
IGMP Snooping:
Support IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236): The IGMP snooping function is used
to establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the
member ports, and avoid wasting the bandwidth while IP multicast packets
are running over the network.
