[. . . ] Web-Based Management a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen. Select the group members( Normal means the port is not the trunk port) Click Apply to apply the configuration to reset the configuration before applying Or, click Refresh Aggregation interface 4. 7 LACP Setting The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized which means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link aggregation allow user grouping up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802. 3ad. AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 20 4. Web-Based Management LACP Setting interface Protocol Enabled: To enable the LACP protocol of the port Key Value: The LACP key determines which ports potentially can be aggregated together Click Apply to apply the configuration to reset the configuration before applying Or, click Refresh AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 21 4. Web-Based Management 4. 8 Rapid Spanning Tree The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides the faster spanning tree convergence after the topology change. The system also supports STP and the system will auto detect the connected device that is running STP or RSTP protocol. 4. 8. 1 RSTP System Configuration System Priority: The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root whenever the value is changed, the system must be rebooted for assigning the priority number of paths. The value must be multiple of 4096 according to the protocol standard rule. Hello Time (1-10): The scale of 1~10 sec will be set as a period of time that how often the switch broadcasts hello messages to other switches Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds (from 6~ 40) which determines the amount of time that protocol information received on a port is stored by the switch. Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds (from 4 ~ 30) which determines how long each of the listening and learning states will last before the port begins forwarding. Force version: Select the RSTP default protocol. Compatible means compatible with STP protocol. AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 22 4. Web-Based Management RSTP Configuration interface AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 23 4. Web-Based Management 4. 8. 2 RSTP Port Configuration Protocol Enabled: To Enable or disable the port protocol Edge: The port directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loop in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, mark the port Path Cost: The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200000000 Click Apply to apply the configuration to reset the configuration before applying Or, click Refresh 4. 9 802. 1X Configuration 802. 1x is an IEEE authentication feature which allows a client connecting to a wireless access point or wired switch, however, prevents the client from gaining access to the Internet until it provides credentials, like a user name and password that are verified by a separated server. Mode: To disable or enable 802. 1x protocol RADIUS IP: Set the Radius Server IP address RADIUS UDP Port: Set the UDP destination port for authentication requests to the specified Radius Server RADIUS Secret: Set an encryption key for use during authentication sessions with the specified radius server. This key must match the encryption key used on the Radius Server Admin State: Select the state of port Force Authorized: The specified port is required to be held in the unauthorized state Force Unauthorized: The specified port is required to be held in the authorized state Auto: The specified port is set to the authorized or unauthorized state in accordance with the outcome of an authentication exchange between the Supplicant and the authentication server AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 24 4. Web-Based Management 802. 1X Configuration interface Re-authenticate: Restart authentication process for the port Force Reinitialize: Restart authentication process for the port Statistics: Click to view each port statistic Re-authenticate All: Restart authentication process for all the port Force reinitialize All: Restart authentication process for all the port AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 25 4.

IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. [. . . ] A category-5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-T network installation. RJ-45 ports: use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair ( STP ) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100 Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10Mbps connections or 100 Category 5 cable for 100Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Gigabit port should use Cat-5 or cat-5e cable for 1000Mbps connections. The length does not exceed 100 meters. AirLive Ether-GSH2404W User's Manual 42 5. [. . . ]
