Ports Configuration

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual
WSG18SFP Switch User Manual Page 8 of 27
Port configuration ensures access to a switch port based on MAC address, limits the total number of devices
using a switch port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.
Port Configuration
In Port Configuration, you can set and view the operation mode for each port.
Enable Jumbo Frames: This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential data transfers
by supporting jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet ports up to 9216 bytes. Compared to standard Ethernet
frames that run only up to 1.5 KB, using jumbo frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead
required to process protocol encapsulation fields.
Power Saving Mode: Adjusts the power provided to ports based on the length of the cable used to connect
to other devices. Only sufficient power is used to maintain connection requirements.
Mode: allow user to manually set the port speed as Auto, 10 half, 10 Full, 100 Half, 100 Full, 1000 Full or
Disabled. Press button to complete the configuration procedure.Apply
VLAN Setting
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which allows you to isolate
network traffic, so that only the members of the same VLAN receive traffic from each other. Basically, creating a
VLAN is logically equivalent to connecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the
network devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration
VLAN ID: ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).
VLAN Configuration List: Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this system. Up to 16 VLAN groups
can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN.

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual

Trunking
Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link for increased throughput.
It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a switched inter- network. Actually, the link does not have
an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed
across an individual link within the trunk in a method called a hash algorithm. The hash algorithm automatically
applies load balancing to the ports in the trunk. A port failure within the trunk group causes the network traffic to
be directed to the remaining ports. Load balancing is maintained whenever a link in a trunk is lost or returned to
service.
Aggregation / Trunking Configuration
To assign a port to a trunk, click on the required trunk number, then click .Apply
Link Aggregation (LACP)
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating
several physical links together as a logical trunk and providing load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink
connections.
LACP Port Configuration
Port: Port number.
Enabled: Enables LACP on the associated port.
Key Value: Configures a port's LACP administration key. The port administrative key should be set to the
same value for ports belonging to the same link aggregation group (LAG). If this administrative key is not
set when an LAG is formed (i.e., it has the null value of 0), this key is automatically set to the same value
as the one used by the LAG.

Raid Spanning Tree
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning tree protocol (LACP) provides a loop-free network and redundant links to the core
network with rapid convergence to ensure faster recovery from failed links, enhancing overall network stability
and reliability.
RSTP System Configuration
System Priority: This parameter configures the spanning tree priority globally for this switch. The device
with the highest priority becomes the STP root device. If all devices have the same priority, the device with
the lowest MAC address becomes the root device. Number between 0-61440 in increments of 4096.
Therefore, there are 16 values.
Hello Time: Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration message (BPDU
frame). Number between 1-10 (default is 2).

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual
WSG18SFP Switch User Manual Page 11 of 27
Max Age – The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration message
before attempting to reconfigure. It also means the maximum life time for a BPDU frame. Number between
6-40 (default is 20).
Forward Delay: The maximum time (in seconds) the root device waits before changing states (i.e.,
discarding to learning to forwarding). Number between 4 – 30 (default is 15).
Force Version: Set and show the RSTP protocol to use. Normal - use RSTP, Compatible - compatible with
STP
RSTP Port Configuration
Port: The port ID. It cannot be changed. Aggregations mean any configured trunk group.
Enabled: Click on the tick-box to enable/disable the RSTP protocol for the port.
Edge: Expect the port to be an edge port (linking to an end station) or a link to another STP device.
Path Cost: This parameter is used by the STP to determine the best path between devices. Therefore,
lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports
with slower media. Set the RSTP path cost on the port. Number between 0 - 200000000. 0 means auto
generated path cost.

802.1X

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual
WSG18SFP Switch User Manual Page 13 of 27
802.1X provides port-based authentication, which involves communication between a supplicant, authenticator,
and authentication server. Port refers to a single point of attachment to the LAN infrastructure. Supplicant is often
software on a client device, such as a laptop; authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or
wireless access point; authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the RADIUS and EAP
protocols.
Port-based Network access control (PNAC) ensures that all the users are authorized before being granted an
access to the network. User authentication is carried out using any standard-based RADIUS server.
802.1X Configuration
Mode: Enables or disables 802.1X globally for all ports. The 802.1X protocol should be enabled globally
for the switch before the port settings are active (Default: Disabled)
RADIUS IP: Address of authentication server
RADIUS UDP Port: Network port of authentication server used for authentication messages (Range: 1-
65535; Default: 1812)
RADIUS Secret: Sets the text string used for encryption between the switch and the RADIUS server. This
key is used to authenticate logon access for the client. Do not use blank spaces in the string. (Max. length:
48 characters).
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. IGMP Snooping allows a layer 2 switch to
“listen in” on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers by processing the layer3 IGMP packets sent in a
multicast network.
When IGMP Snooping is enabled, it analyzes all IGMP packets between hosts connected to the switch and
multicast routers in the network. When a switch hears an IGMP report from a host for a given multicast group, the
switch adds the host’s port number to the multicast list for that group. When the switch hears an IGMP Leave, it
removes the host’s port from the table entry. It prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic, and limits bandwidth
intensive video traffic to the subscribers only.
IGMP Configuration
IGMP Enabled: When enabled, the switch monitors network traffic to determine which hosts want to
receive multicast traffic.
Router Ports: Set if ports are connecting to the IGMP administrative routers.

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual
WSG18SFP Switch User Manual Page 14 of 27
Unregistered IPMC Flooding enabled: Set the forwarding mode for unregistered (not-joined) IP multicast
traffic. The traffic floods when enabled, and forward to router-ports when disabled.
IGMP Snooping Enabled: When enabled, the port monitors network traffic to determine which hosts want
to receive the multicast traffic.
IGMP Querying Enabled: When enabled, the port can serve as Querier which is responsible for asking
hosts if they want to receive multicast traffic.
Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is used on a network to send a copy of network packets seen on one switch port (or an entire
VLAN) to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. This is commonly used for network appliances
that require monitoring of network traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.
Mirroring Configuration
Port to Mirror to: The port that “duplicates” or “mirrors” the traffic on the source port. Only incoming
packets can be mirrored. Packets are dropped when the available egress bandwidth is less than ingress
bandwidth.
Ports to Mirror: Select the ports that you want to mirror from this section of the page. A port is mirrored
when the “Mirroring Enabled” check-box is checked.

QoS Setting
In QoS Mode, select QoS Disabled, 802.1p, or DSCP to configure the related parameters.
QoS Configuration
Strict: Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting all traffic in the higher priority queues
before servicing lower priority queues.
WRR: Weighted Round-Robin shares bandwidth at the egress ports by using scheduling weights with
default values of 1, 2, 4, 8 for queues 0 through 7, respectively. (This is the default selection.)
QoS Mode: QoS Disabled
When the QoS Mode is set to QoS Disabled, the following table is displayed.
QoS Mode: 802.1p
Packets are prioritized using the 802.1p field in the VLAN tag. This field is three bits long, representing the values
0 - 7. When the QoS Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table appears, allowing you to map each of
the eight 802.1p values to a local priority queue (low, normal, medium or high). The default settings are shown
below.
When the QoS Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table is displayed as shown below.
QoS Mode: DSCP
DSCP: Packets are prioritized using the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. The Differentiated
Services Code Point (DSCP) is a six-bit field that is contained within an IP (TCP or UDP) header. The six bits
allow the DSCP field to take any value in the range 0 - 63. When QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP
Note: WRR can only be selected if is disabled on the Port Configuration page.Jumbo Frame mode

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual

Configuration table is displayed, allowing you to map each of the DSCP values to a hardware output queue (low,
normal, medium or high). The default settings map all DSCP values to the high priority egress queue.
You can use the Prioritize Traffic drop-down list to quickly set the values in the DSCP Configuration table to a
common priority queue. Use if you want to set each value individually.Custom
When the QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP Configuration table is displayed as shown below.

Disabled: Allow all IP network addresses to login to this switch and to manage it.
Static: Only configured IP network addresses (IP with IP mask) are allowed to login to this switch and to
manage it. Only the the received IP packets containing configured source network addresses can be
forward by the switch.
For example:
1. IP Address: 192.168.3.2, IP Mask: 255.255.255.0; Network address 192.168.3.x (254 IP Addresses) can be
forwarded on this port
2. IP Address: 192.168.3.2, IP Mask: 255.255.255.255; Only IP 192.168.3.2 can be forwarded on the port.
DHCP: Allow the IP Address received from DHCP server to login to this switch and manage it. Only the IP
packets containing the source IP are allowed to be forwarded through the switch.
IP Address: IP Address, it can be one IP Address or a LAN
IP Mask: IP Subnet Mask, related to the IP Address
DHCP Server Allowed: Tick off the check-box under the port x to allow the DHCP Server on this
Port, valid port is Port 1-18.
Rate Limit Configuration
Select the Port number.
Policer: Set up the ingress bandwidth limit. Incoming traffic is discarded if the rate exceeds the value entered.
Pause frames are also generated if flow control is enabled. The format of the packet limits to unicast, broadcast
and multicast. Valid value of Port 1-18 is 128-3968 kbps. Default: No Limit
Shaper: Set up the egress bandwidth limit. Outgoing traffic is discarded if the rate exceeds the value entered.
Pause frames are generated if flow control is enabled. The format of the packet limits to unicast, broadcast and
multicast. Valid value of Port 1-18 is 128-3968. Default: No limit
Storm Control
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not
well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be
severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for each port. Any
broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold are dropped then.
Storm Control Configuration
Note: In this mode, the received packets are filtered except the IP packets with configured source
network addresses.

WSG18SFP Switch User Manual
WSG18SFP Switch User Manual Page 19 of 27
Storm control is used to block unnecessary multicast and broadcast frames that reduce switch’s performance.
When the function is enabled and Storm Control rate settings are detected as exceeded, the unnecessary frames
are dropped. There are five types of traffic which can be rate limited, including ICMP Rate, Learn Frames Rate,
Broadcast Rate, Multicast Rate and Flooded unicast Rate. The setting range is 1k-32768k per second. Default of
four Rates is No Limit.
