Note: 1. Please keep the switch in a dry and well ventilated environment. 2. Keep the work bench stable and well-earthed. 3. Do not restrict airflow covering or obstructing air in lets of the switch. Keep more than 10 centimeters free on all sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate air flow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed. 4. Don’t put heavy articles on the Switch. 5. Make sure there is more than 1.5 centimeters vertical distance free between devices that stack each other. Connecting SFP Fiber Combo Ports The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for optical signal transmission. Unlike other Pakedge Switches, both of these SFP ports are independent of the copper ports. The SFP module accommodates a standard SFP module with an LC connector.
ACCESSING THE WEB INTERFACE
Pakedge X-Series switches contain a built-in web interface that is accessible through a standard web browser. In order to connect to the switch, you must perform the following steps:
1. Connect the switch to power. This will turn on the LED lights and switch fans. 2. Connect a PC or laptop to any standard Ethernet port on the switch. 3. Configure the PC with IP address 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Open a
web browser.
8
4. Enter the switch's default IP address 192.168.1.205 into the address bar and press <ENTER>.
5. A page will appear, prompting you for a username and password. Enter admin as the username and leave the password field blank. Click OK to log in to the web administration portal.
Note: It is recommended that you change this default password.
Once you have logged in to the switch, you will be able to configure changes. The following is an example of the Dashboard page on the SK24
9
DASHBOARD
The dashboard provides frequently used quick links to help with more efficient setup.
10
MENU
The menu provides access to all of the configurable options on the switch. An example of the menu is shown below.
These options are described in detail in this manual.
SYSTEM
The System section contains the four sub sections Systems Settings, IP Setting, ACL, SNMP
SYSTEM SETTINGS
There are four tabs under System Settings.
BASIC INFORMATION
The first option under System Settings is Basic Information. This page shows the basic information of a switch. Here you can view the System Description, Firmware Version, and system start Time. None of these setting can be changed within the GUI.
11
Further down, is the serial information, this is the information that you will need to console into the switch.
The following three parameters can be changed on this page.
• Name – Give the switch a unique name. • Location –Allows you to enter the location of the switch. Depending on your network
standards, you could enter the location of the switch within the building or pinpoint the building and closet within your entire company.
• Contact – Contains information on whom to contact regarding switch inquiries. This is an open text field that lets you enter names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or any other information regarding your contacts.
USER MANAGEMENT
The User Management page allows you to adjust settings to the user accounts that manage the switch. To change the password to the switch, enter the Current Password and then enter the New Password. You will need to Re-enter the new password. Click Apply towards the bottom to finalize the new password.
12
You can also change the telnet password at the bottom. The telnet password will be used if you ever need to access the switch via terminal, such as Putty or Hypertext terminal.
SAFE MANGEMENT
Safe Management determines by which methods users are allowed to access the switch. In this example http and telnet are enabled, while snmp is disabled. In this example, the switch can be accessed via telnet and http, but cannot be accessed via snmp.
SYSTEM REBOOT
The fourth tab under System Settings is System Reboot. Here you can soft reboot the switch by clicking “system reboot.”
13
ACL As traffic increases and the network grows, network security appears more and more important. Packet filtering can effectively block unauthorized users from accessing network and control traffic volume on the network for the purpose of conserving network resources. An access control list (ACL) implements packet filter via configured rules and operations attached to a packet. When the switch receives a packet, it analyzes the packet using currently applied ACL rules and then handles the packet by preset operations. The ACL section has 4 sections, standard IP, Extended IP, Mac IP, and ACL Reference.
STANDARD IP
The standard IP section allows you to allow or deny an IP address through the switch.
ACL Standard IP Group Number: Select the group number you would like to use, this is simply an identification number. In this example, it has been set to 1.
14
ACE Number - ACE controls and monitors access to the object. In the above example this is set to 1.
Source IP Address – Specify the IP address that you would like to permit or deny.
Source Wildcard – This is used to determine the range of the IP addresses. In the above example, the source IP address is 192.168.1.2, we want to include all IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet. Therefore the wild card is set to 0.0.0.255. There are 3 zeros because we are matching the IP up to the first 3 octets.
Deny/Permit – choose whether you want to deny access or permit access for the rule you set up above.
Once you are done with the changes click the “Add” button.
It will then show towards the bottom of the screen in the table.
*Note - To enable this rule to particular ports, please see the “ACL Reference Section”
EXTENDED IP
Extended IP gives you more specific options than the Standard IP. Below is an example of the page.
15
ACL Extended Group Num – Select the group number you would like to use, this is simply an identification number. In this example, it has been set to 10.
ACE Number - ACE controls and monitors access to the object. In the above example this is set to 0.
Source IP – Specify source IP of packets for a rule to match.
Destination IP - Specify destination IP of packets for a rule to match.
Protocol Type – There are three protocol types, IGMP, IP, TCP, UDP. Select the protocol to match the rule. If using the TCP or the UPD option you will be prompted to put in a source port and a destination port. In the below example we are denying 192.168.1.55 through 192.168.1.205 from using the FTP port.
Your rule will then show at the bottom of the screen as shown below. This section will show you all the ACLs that you have set up. To view existing ACL’s, click on the dropdown menu next “please select”, then select the ACL Group Number.
16
*Note - To enable this rule on particular ports, please see the “ACL Reference Section”
MAC IP
ACL Mac IP Group Num - Select the group number you would like to use, this is simply an identification number. In this example, it has been set to 20.
ACE Num – ACE controls and monitors access to the object. In the above example this is set to 0.
Source/Destination MAC- Specify a source MAC and destination MAC of packets for the rule to match. In this example aa:aa:bb:bb:cc:cc is the source and Destination Mac is dd:dd:ee:ee:ff:ff
Permit/Deny- Make sure to choose the radio button to permit or deny. In this example, the rule is set to “permit”
17
*Note - To enable this rule to particular ports, please see the “ACL Reference Section”
ACL REFERENCE
The ACL Reference page allows you to apply your rules to ports on the switch.
18
Port - Select the port that you would like to apply or view the rule.
All ACL Groups- From this column, select the rule that you would like to use for the port number you selected. Then click the add button, the rule will move over to the right hand column.
Reference ACL Groups- This is where your rules will show that are applied to the particular port selected. To delete a rule, that is present in this field, select the rule and then “Delete.” The rule will now only show up on the left hand column only, as shown below.
19
SNMP
SNMP allows a compliant device to broadcast its information. This information can be broadcasted to other devices on the network. This can be useful for networking monitoring on devices such as Ihiji. There are two sections, Community Name and Trap Target.
COMMUNITY NAME
The Community Name section is where you define the SNMP settings. Here is an example of the Community Name page.
20
Item- To create an item, click on “new” from the drop down menu. To edit or change an item, select the item number from the drop down menu.
Community Name - Then type a “community name.” This is a name that you can identify the device by. In this example, the community name is “sk24.”
Permissions- There are two permissions options in the drop down menu. Read Write (RW) and Read Only (RO). Read only will allow another device to retrieve information from the switch, but the device will not be able to modify the information. Read Write (RW) allows another device to retrieve information from the switch, and make changes to the switch.
When you are done making changes, then click “Apply” The SNMP item will then show at the bottom of the screen as shown below.
In the below example, the community name has been set up as “sk24” and has Read-Write permissions.
If you wish to delete the item, click the .
21
TRAP TARGET
The Trap Target is where you define the monitoring device. Below is an example of the “Trap Target” page.
Select “new” from the drop down menu on the left. Name the device. In this example we are using an Ihiji so we will name it “ihiji.
Name - Name the device. In the below example we are using an Ihiji so we will name it “ihiji.
Transmit IP Address Range – This is the IP address of the network monitoring devices. In this example, we are using the IP address of the Ihiji 192.168.1.200.
22
SNMP Version – There are two versions available on the SK-24 Switch, V1 and V2C. Version 1 will broadcast the necessary information but there will be no acknowledgement of the reception of the message. Version V2C, will send acknowledgment that a message has been received. When not sure which one to use, it is usually acceptable to use V2C.
When you are finished, click on the “Apply” button. You will then see the SNMP item at the bottom of the page.
To delete the item click on the . The item will then be deleted.
PORTS
The Ports section, allows you to configure the individual ports on the switch.
PORT SETTINGS
The Port Settings has the below subsections.
23
COMMON CONFIGURATION
Common configuration is where the ports are enabled or disabled and allow for the speed of the port to be manually set.
Below is an example of the Common Configuration Page.
To disable a port, click on the port, then click on the “down” radio button. Then click “Apply”
The port will look like this in the above port field. In this example, port 3 has been disabled.
To set the speed of the port. Click on the port you want to change the speed on. From the drop down menu, click on the speed the device uses. The options are Full 1000 mbps, Full 100mbps, Full 10mbps, half 100 mbps and half 10 mbps. Select the appropriate speed and hit “apply.” The port speed will show under the port like in ports 19-22. It is best to leave this at auto-negotiate.
STATISTICS
The statistics tab shows per port statistics such as bytes and packets going through a port. From the drop down menu, select the port you would like to view statistics for. The numbers will populate below from the port drop down menu.
FLOW CONTROL
The Flow Control page allows you to enable or disable flow control per port. With flow control enabled on both the switch and its link partner, the switch, when encountering congestion, will send flow control frames to notify the link partner of such; upon receiving such frames, the link partner will
24
temporarily stop sending packets to the switch, thus avoiding packets drop and ensuring a reliable network. Meanwhile, if a certain port receives a Pause frame, it will also stop sending packets out. By default, the flow control feature is disabled. To enable flow control, click on the port you want to enable flow control on. Then click on the “On” radio button. Then click “Apply.”
BROADCAST STORM
The Broadcast Storm tab allows you to suppress Broadcast traffic, Multicast Traffic and DLF Traffic. By default all three of these are disabled. To enable it, click on the port that you want to enable suppression on. If you want to enable Suppression select “On” from the drop down menu under Broadcast Suppression, Multicast Suppression, or DLF, or any combination. When you are done configuring the selected port, click on “Apply.”
25
PORT RATE LIMIT
The Port Ratelimit page will allow you to define how much data is allowed to pass through a port on the switch. You can select ports and then towards the bottom set the Send Packets Rate Control and Receive Packets Rate Control to On. Then you can enter the amount of data, in megabits per second that the switch should allow to pass through. The following image illustrates this. A limit of 1000 kbps has been defined for ports two and four. Click Apply to finalize your settings.
26
AG GROUP
The Ag Group tab is where you can set up Link Aggregation. Link Aggregation allow you to combine the bandwidth of 2 to 8 ports. On a device. Note: the device must have more than one Ethernet port on it and must support this feature for it to work. Only 8 port per switch can be aggregated.
Under Ag Method, select “mac” from the drop down menu
Under Ag Group ID, Select “manual” from the drop down menu, then from the drop down menu below, choose the group number (0001-0016).
Under Able Config Port, select the ports that you would like to combine bandwidth. To select multiple ports, hold down the control key and click on each port you would like to add to the group. Then click on “Member Port.” To unmember, click “unmember port.”
When done, click on “create group.” Then click on “set.”
In this example, port 1 and port 2 are members of the group 0001.
27
MIRROR
Port Mirroring allows you to watch traffic using Wireshark or another tool, without disturbing the original port. We want to monitor traffic on port 10. We will mirror port 4. Port 4 will be monitoring the traffic on port 10. We will connect a laptop to port 4 with Wireshark installed to monitor the traffic on port 3 through port 4.
Mirror Group – Select the session from the drop down, you can select any one available in the drop down.
Able Config Port – Select the port that you will be doing the monitoring on. Select the port from the list. Then click on “member port”
Mirror Direction – If “receive” is selected, only receiving data will be mirror, if “transmit” is selected, only transmitting data will be mirrored. If “Both” is selected, transmitting and receiving data will be mirrored.
Ports Direction – The port that you are doing the monitoring on will show up here. In this example port 4 is listed because port 4 is the mirroring port.
Able Config Destination Ports – This is the port that you are monitoring the traffic on. In this example we are using port 3.
28
MAC CONTROL
Mac Control allows you to block or allow access or deny access to a device via MAC address.
BINDING CONFIGURATION
Binding allows you to bind a mac address on the port. Under the Mac type drop down menu, there are 3 options. All, Dynamic, Static and Drop. We will focus on All, Dynamic and Static.
Dynamic
The Dynamic Mac type shows you what mac address that the switch has learned. This will be listed per port as seen below.
29
Static
The static Mac Type allows you to bind a certain IP address to a particular port. To set this up choose the port from the “port” dropdown menu. In the Mac Address Field, type in the Mac address. If you would like to bind the mac address AA:AA:BB:BB:CC:CC you would type it as shown below, AAA.BBBB.CCCC. Then select the VLAN that the device is on in the VLAN field.
The below figure shows mac address AA:AA:BB:BB:CC:CC is binding to port 3 of the switch and the device is on VLAN 1.
You may add more than on mac address if you wish on the same port. When you are done, click “Apply” at the bottom of the page. You will then see the mac address in the table in the screenshot below.
To delete the entry, check the checkbox by the mac address and hit the . This will delete the mac entry.
30
All
The “All” option shows you all mac addresses both Dynamic and Static.
FILTER CONFIGURATION
Filter Configuration allows you to define what mac addresses are allowed through the switch are blocked through the switch.
Type the Mac Address in the “Mac Address” Field. The Mac address be typed in the same format as described in the “Binding Configuration” page.
Select the VLAN that the device with the specified MAC address is on.
31
Click on “apply” when finished.
VLAN
The VLAN section allows you to set up VLANs. VLANs are subnetworks that help to segregate network traffic. The below section describes how to configure VLANs.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration allows you to set up VLAN and assign ports to them.
Note: The VLANs will only work if you have a VLAN aware router.
32
Below is an example of what the VLAN page looks like.
First step is to add a VLAN under “Manage VLANs.” Click the “Add” button as shown below.
You will then see the below screen.
33
In the “VLAN ID” field you will type the VLAN number that you would like to add. Then Name the VLAN (optional).
Note: The VLAN ID’s must be set up in the router to work on the switch.
In this example, we are adding VLAN 6 and naming it “Guest.” Then click on the “apply”
You will now see the new VLAN ID populate
Next you have to add the ports to be members of a VLAN. The switch offers Access, Hybrid, and Trunk Adding an Access Port
To add an access port, do the following. Under the “Access” column, click on the VLAN that you would like to add ports to. In this example, we are selecting VLAN 2.
34
Then click on the ports that you would like to add to the VLAN. In this example, we are adding ports 5,7,9,11. When ports are selected they will look like this
The ports will then populate next to the VLAN as shown below. When you are finished hit apply. The
ports on the page will then look like this.
35
When you are down click on “Apply” at the bottom of the page. The ports will then show the VLAN below the port. As seen below.
Adding a Hybrid Port
To add a hybrid port, click on the next to the “hybrid” column. The staggered line field will appear as seen below.
Click in the Untagged field(U).
36
Then click on the VLAN that you would like to add. This should be your primary VLAN or the VLAN that you want the physical device to be on. In this example we are adding VLAN 1. VLAN 1 is the
After clicking on VLAN 1, it will populate below. Then click on the Tagged (T) field.
Click the VLANs that you would like to tag. As you click the VLAN it will get a blue outline around it.
The tagged VLANs will show as below.
Click on the “Assigned Port” field.
Then click on the ports that you would like to have your Hybrid setup on. In this Example, we are adding ports 21 and 22.
37
The finished product is shown below. This example shows port 1 as the default VLAN with VLAN 2-6 tagged on port 21 and 22.
In the port image, the hybrid ports will show in a broken line box as shown below.
Adding a Trunk in Port
To add a Trunk port, click on the next to the “Trunk” column. The staggered line field will appear as seen below. Click on the Tag Field (T).
38
Select the VLANs you would like to tag.
They will then show up in the (T) field as shown below. Then click on the “Assigned Port”
Select the following ports you want the trunk setting to be on. In this example we are using ports 8, 10, and 12.
Once finished, it will look something like this. In this example, we are tagging VLAN 3 and 4 on ports 8, 10, and 12.
39
When finish click on “Apply.”
TRAFFIC
The Traffic Section is where you can configure QoS, STP and IGMP.
QOS
Quality of Service (QOS) allows you to prioritize the traffic on your network. There are two tabs in this section, schedule and apply. We will focus on the Apply section.
APPLY
You will see a page that looks like this. There are two QOS Type options, COS-Based and CSCP based. We will focus on the COS-Based option. The COS-Based option allows you to choose a priority between 1 and 7, where 7 is the highest and 1 is the lowest prioritize.
40
First click on the ports that you would like to prioritize. In this example 5, 7 and 9 are selected.
Select COS-Based from the drop down menu under “QOS” type. Then assign the priority from the drop down meu. In this example we chose 7, which is the highest priority.
When you are finished hit apply. Repeat the process for any other ports. In the example below, ports 5, 7, and 9 have high priority at 7. Ports 6, 8, and 10 are low priority at 1.
41
STP
Spanning tree protocol (STP) prevents loops that might be caused in a network. Loops are caused when there are multiple “paths” in a network between a device on the network and a device such as a router or a switch. The loop can then cause Broadcast storms. Broadcast storms occur when broadcast or multicast data is forwarded by the switch out of every port. This can cause the switch to slow down or sometimes even become unresponsive. Spanning tree helps to route the traffic in a way that will not congest the network.
There are two tabs in this section. Configuration and port configuration.
CONFIGURATION
The configuration tab allows you to set up the Bridge Priority, Max-Hops, Hello-Time, Max-Age, Forward-Time and Force Version.
42
Max Hops - maximum number of hops that would be required to get back to the main switch or to the router. If not certain to what this number should be, it is best to use it at the Default of 20 hops.
Hello Time – The time in seconds between each Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU). The BPDU are messages that are used by switches that are included in the Spanning Tree process. These messages are used to exchange information on how the network layout might have changed and determine the best path cost (the shortest route to get from point A to point B). It is best to put this at 2 seconds.
Max Age – The maximum amount of time that a bridge port (the port that connects to the main switch or the router), saves the BPDU configuration. The default is 20.
Forward-Time – The wait time from a bridge port (port that plugs into main switch or router), to change from a listening to learning state. It is best to set this at 15 seconds.
Force Version - There are two options for the force version, STP and RSTP. They are described as below.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
STP is one of the simplest forms of spanning tree and is the only option that you will find on our access points and our routers. This version of spanning tree is more sensitive to physical changes (swapping out switches or unplugging a network cable) in the network and might take up to one minute to reroute when the physical network changes.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
RSTP works the same way as STP but when physical changes are made on the network it will only take about 5-6 minutes to reroute. It works this fast by actively monitoring the network for any changes. This standard is also backwards compatible with STP.
PORT CONFIGURATION
The port configuration tab is where you can set up per port spanning tree information.
43
To enable spanning tree on a particular port, click on the port that you would like to configure spanning tree on.
Status – This is where you enable or disable spanning tree on a port. In this example we are enabling it on port 3.
Priority – This is the port priority, by default this should be set to 128. Port priority determines which ports are more important for traffic. It is best to keep the priority the same on all ports that have STP devices connected to them. It is best to leave this at the default of 128.
Port Path Cost –Set the path cost of the port. The path cost is the “route” that the traffic will flow to get to its destination. In this example path cost of 5,000.
Other Sections: If you are not sure about the other sections, it is best to leave them at defaults in the below figure.
In this example the path cost on port 3 has been set to 5000

IGMP SNOOPING
IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the name, is a feature that allows a network switch to listen to on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. By listening to the conversations between hosts and routers, the switch maintains a map of links which need IP multicast streams. Multicast streams may be filtered from the links which do not solicit them. An IGMP-Snooping-disabled layer-2 device will flood multicast traffic to all the ports in a broadcast domain (or the VLAN equivalent). With IGMP snooping enabled, known multicast traffic will be forwarded to hosts that have explicitly joined the group. It provides switches with a mechanism to prune multicast traffic from links that do not contain a multicast listener (an IGMP client).
There are two tables under this section, Snooping and Multicast Group Info.
SNOOPING
The snooping tab allows you to enable IGMP snooping and the level
To enable the IGMP snooping, do the following
Select enable from the drop down menu. This select the IGMP version that you would like, they are described below.
In this switch, there is 3 versions of IGMP
Version 1- In this version, multicast packets are permitted, however there is only a message for Membership query (packet with destination of 244.0.0.1) and Membership Reply (packet sent to IGMP group for a device to join the group). There is no message that reports when a client has left the group
Version 2 – This version allows for a leave message to be sent when a device leaves the group. This prevents unnecessary multicast traffic on the network. Also only one device does Querying all other devices only listen to the reply.
Version 3 – This is the same as Version 2, accept, it adds support for source-specific multicasting (sends multicast from particular sender to particular group).
45
MULTICAST GROUP INFO
This is where you set up the multicast group information. These are the devices that need to talk to each other using multicast traffic.
MANAGEMENT
The Management section allows to perform management tasks such as factory defaulting and saving configurations. The below sections will be described in detail.
MAINTENANCE
The Maintenance section is where you can save or load a config file from the switch.
46
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file page is shown below. The text shown in the below figure, is the plain text of the configuration. Here you can save or delete your configuration of the switch.
To save the configuration, Click on the “Download” button.
FILE UPLOAD
The file upload tab allows you to load a firmware file or a configuration file. An example of this page is shown below. The firmware file must have an extension of .iso if firmware or .cfg if it is a configuration file.
47
To upload a file, click on the” browse” button, and navigate to the file you want to upload.
You will see the file next to the “Browse” button.
If it is a configuration file (.cfg) click on “Import”
If it is a firmware file (.iso) click upgrade, like in the below example
48
LOG
This section is used for Pakedge use when to determine issues on the switch when troubleshooting steps have been exhausted.
LLDP LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a Layer 2 protocol that is used for network devices to advertise their own device information periodically to neighbors on the same IEEE 802 local area network. The advertised information, including details such as device identification, capabilities and configuration settings, is represented in TLV (Type/Length/Value) format according to the IEEE 802.1ab standard, and these TLVs are encapsulated in LLDPDU (Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Unit). The LLDPDU distributed via LLDP is stored by its recipients in a standard MIB (Management Information Base), making it possible for the information to be accessed by a Network Management System (NMS) using a management protocol such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). There are 4 tabs in this section, Global Setup, Port Setup Select, Neighbor Info, and Port Statistics. The functions of each tab is shown below.
GLOBAL SET UP
Below is an example of the Global Setup page.
49
The Table below describes the options displayed on this page.
50
PORT SETUP SELECT
The Port Setup Select allows you to configure the LLDP port properties. By selecting a port, you will be able to make the following changes from the below dropdown menu.
• Disable – Disable the LLDP functions on the selected port. • TX – transmit LLDP packets only. • RX – Receive LLDP Packets only • TX & RX – Transmit and receive LLDP packets

NEIGHBOR INFO
The Neighbor info page will display information about devices that were discovered via LLDP. The table further below describes the different options.
51
PORT STATISTICS
The Port Statistics page will display LLDP statistics on each port.
