1.1 Introduction
The GS1900 series is a new generation Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Web-Managed Switch.
This User’s Guide covers the following models:
See the datasheet for a full list of firmware features available on the Switch.
1.2 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.
1.2.1 PoE Example Application
The Switch can supply PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices (PDs) such as an IP camera, a
wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not within reach of a power
outlet.

Figure 1 PoE Example Application
1.2.2 Backbone Example Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
All computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add
more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers, and so on.
Figure 2 Backbone Example Application
1.2.3 Bridging / Fiber Uplink Example Application
The Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can
alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high
bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can provide a super-fast
uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/SFP port on the Switch.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
GS1900 Series User’s Guide

Figure 3 Bridging / Fiber Uplink Example Application
1.2.4 Gigabit Ethernet to the Desktop
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks which demand high bandwidth for a group of heavy
traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other
switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server and access the Internet.
To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print
servers and so on.
Figure 4 Gigabit to the Desktop
1.2.5 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Application Example
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one or more groups. With VLAN, a station cannot
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
20
directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through
a router.
For more information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 9 on page 74.
1.2.5.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, thus increasing network
performance by reducing broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the
following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to
other VLAN groups too.
Figure 5 Shared Server Using VLAN Example
1.2.6 IPv6 Support
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in
IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. At the time
of writing, the Switch supports the following features.
• Static address assignment and stateless auto-configuration
• Neighbor Discovery Protocol (a protocol used to discover other IPv6 devices in a network)
• Remote Management using PING, telnet, SNMP, HTTP and TFTP services
• ICMPv6 to report errors encountered in packet processing and perform diagnostic functions, such as
"PING”
• IPv4/IPv6 dual stack; the Switch can run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time
• DHCPv6 client
1.3 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
21
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See Chapter 5 on page 43.
• TFTP. Use Trivial File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See
Section 33.1 on page 229, Section 33.3 on page 232, and Section 33.4 on page 233.
• SNMP. The device can be configured by a SNMP manager. See Section 32.3 on page 215.
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See Section 4.1 on page 38.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Switch
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.

connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
23
3Make sure there is at least 40 mm of clearance from the bottom to the Switch, and make sure there is
enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the
power cord. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.
4Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
5Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the
Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
Figure 6 Attaching Rubber Feet
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4
inches (8 cm) at the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack
installations.
2.3 Wall Mounting
You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.
2.3.1 Wall-mounted Installation Requirement
The following are the wall-mounted installation requirements:
• Use screws with 6 mm ~ 8 mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads.
• See the following table for how far apart to place the screws.
The following figure shows the screw specifications used for wall mounting.
• D = 7.00 mm
• H = 2.00 mm
• L= 15.50 mm
Table 2 Distance between the centers of the holes for wall mounting

176 mm 176 mm 176 mm 148 mm 207 mm
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
24
• d = 3.50 mm
Do the following to attach your Switch to a wall.
1Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the Switch.
2Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
WARNING! Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside
the wall when drilling holes for the screws.
3If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full
depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave
a small gap. The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the
connection cables to run down the back of the Switch.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all
the way in - leave a gap.
Note: Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the Switch with
the connection cables.
4Align the holes on the back of the Switch with the screws on the wall. Hang the Switch on the screws.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
25
Note: Make sure there is enough clearance between the wall and the Switch to allow
ventilation.
The Switch should be wall-mounted horizontally. The Switch's side
panels with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this
position is less safe.
2.4 Rack Mounting
The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other
equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-mounting
kit.
Note: Make sure there is enough clearance between each equipment on the rack for air
circulation.
2.4.1 Rack-mounted Installation Requirements

3.1.1 Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The duplex mode can be both half or full
duplex at 100 Mbps and full duplex only at 1000 Mbps.
Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
30
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps)
and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable.
3.1.1.1 Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
•Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
3.1.2 SFP Slots
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that
houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The
Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-
Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i
specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.
3.1.2.1 Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a transceiver.
1Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.

3.2.1 Grounding
Grounding is a safety measure to have unused electricity return to the ground. It prevents damage to
the Switch, and protects you from electrocution.
Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly grounded and
surge protected. To the extent permissible by applicable law, failure to follow these guidelines could
result in damage to your Switch which may not be covered by its warranty.
Note: The Switch must be grounded by qualified service personnel.
1Remove the M4 ground screw from the Switch’s rear panel.
2Secure a green/yellow ground cable (16 AWG or smaller) to the Switch's rear panel using the M4 ground
screw.
3Attach the other end of the cable to the ground, either to the same ground electrode as the rack you
installed the device on or to the main grounding electrode of the building.
Follow your country's regulations and safety instructions to electrically ground the device properly.
if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available, contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician.
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
34
Warning! Connect the ground cable before you connect any other
cables or wiring.
Figure 39 Grounding
3.2.2 Power Connection
Make sure you are using the correct power source and that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans.
The Switch uses two power supply modules, one of which is redundant, so if one power module fails the
system can operate on the remaining module.
Rear Panel Power Connection
Connect one end of the supplied power cord or power adapter to the power receptacle on the back
of the Switch and the other end to the appropriate power source.
For Switches with a power switch (see Table 1 on page 17), use the POWER ON/OFF switch to have the
Switch power on or off.

3.4 Resetting the Switch (all models except GS1900-24EP/
GS1900-24HPv2/GS1900-48HPv2)
If you lock yourself (and others) from the Switch, or you forget your password, or cannot access the Web
Configurator, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file. Or use the RESET button at
the front of the device.
This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the default Switch IP address,
user name and password will be reset to 192.168.1.1, admin and 1234 respectively.
If you backed up an earlier configuration file as advised in Section 1.4 on page 21, you will not have to
totally re-configure the Switch after resetting. You can simply restore your last configuration.
Follow the steps below to reset the Switch back to factory defaults.
1Make sure the SYS LED is steady green (not blinking). Use a pointed instrument such as a pin to access
the RESET button on the front of the Switch as shown in Section 3.1 on page 28.
2Press the button for more than 6 seconds. After releasing the button, the SYS LED begins to blink. Wait for
the Switch to restart (the SYS LED will be steady green again). This takes up to two minutes.
Left Amber On The link to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network is up.

ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and manage a network more efficiently. It detects
devices automatically and allows you to do basic settings on devices in the network without having to
be near it.
The ZON Utility issues requests via Zyxel Discovery Protocol (ZDP) and in response to the query, the device
responds back with basic information including IP address, firmware version, location, system and model
name in the same broadcast domain. The information is then displayed in the ZON Utility screen and you
can perform tasks like basic configuration of the devices and batch firmware upgrade in it. You can
download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a PC (Windows operating system).

CHAPTER 9
Monitor: VLAN
9.1 Overview
This section provides information for VLAN in Monitor.
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same
group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.
In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the
subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network
resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will not see the printers and hard disks of another user
on the same network.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable
logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and
every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.
9.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•The VLAN screen (Section 9.2 on page 74) displays VLAN, port, and VLAN port settings.

Chapter 9 Monitor: VLAN
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
76
9.2.3 VLAN Port
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC
address and its associated port. Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for
each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example,
between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port,
that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports. Port-based VLANs are specific only to
the Switch on which they were created.

accepts only untagged frames on this port. All tagged frames will be dropped.
Ingress Filter If set, the Switch discards incoming frames for VLANs that do not have this port as a
member.
VLAN Trunks Enable VLAN Trunking on ports connected to other switches or routers (but not ports directly
connected to end users) to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to pass

When 802.1x port authentication is enabled on the Switch and its ports, clients that do not have the
correct credentials are blocked from using the port(s). You can configure your Switch to have one VLAN
that acts as a guest VLAN. If you enable the guest VLAN (102 in the example) on a port (2 in the
example), the user (A in the example) that is not IEEE 802.1x capable or fails to enter the correct
username and password can still access the port, but traffic from the user is forwarded to the guest
VLAN. That is, unauthenticated users can have access to limited network resources in the same guest
VLAN, such as the Internet. The rights granted to the Guest VLAN depends on how the network
administrator configures switches or routers with the guest network feature.

CHAPTER 10
Monitor: MAC Table
10.1 Overview
This section provides information for MAC Table in Monitor.
The MAC Table screen (a MAC table is also known as a filtering database) shows how frames are
forwarded or filtered across the Switch’s ports. When a device (which may belong to a VLAN group)
sends a packet which is forwarded to a port on the Switch, the MAC address of the device is shown on
the Switch’s MAC Table. It also shows whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the Switch) or
static (manually entered in the Static MAC Forwarding screen).
The Switch uses the MAC Table to determine how to forward frames. See the following figure.
1The Switch examines a received frame and learns the port from which this source MAC address came.
2The Switch checks to see if the frame's destination MAC address matches a source MAC address
already learned in the MAC Table.
• If the Switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, then it forwards the frame to that port.
• If the Switch has not already learned the port for this MAC address, then the frame is flooded to all
ports. Too much port flooding leads to network congestion.
• If the Switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, but the destination port is the same as
the port it came in on, then it filters the frame.

Monitor: Link Aggregation
11.1 Overview
This section provides information for Link Aggregation in Monitor.
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You
may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize
a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer
available ports you have. A trunk group is one logical link containing multiple ports.
The Switch supports both static and dynamic link aggregation.
Note: In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation
only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your
Switch.

CHAPTER 12
Monitor: Loop Guard
12.1 Overview
This section provides information for Loop Guard in Monitor.
Loop guard is designed to handle loop problems on the edge of your network. This can occur when a
port is connected to a Switch that is in a loop state. Loop state occurs as a result of human error. It
happens when two ports on a switch are connected with the same cable. When a switch in loop state
sends out broadcast messages the messages loop back to the switch and are re-broadcast again and
again causing a broadcast storm.
If a switch (not in loop state) connects to a switch in loop state, then it will be affected by the switch in
loop state in the following way:
• It will receive broadcast messages sent out from the switch in loop state.
• It will receive its own broadcast messages that it sends out as they loop back. It will then re-broadcast
those messages again.
The following figure shows port N on switch A connected to switch B. Switch B is in loop state. When
broadcast or multicast packets leave port N and reach switch B, they are sent back to port N on A as
they are rebroadcast from B.
Figure 83 Switch in Loop State
The loop guard feature checks to see if a loop guard enabled port is connected to a switch in loop
state. This is accomplished by periodically sending a probe packet and seeing if the packet returns on
the same port. If this is the case, the Switch will shut down the port connected to the switch in loop state.
The following figure shows a loop guard enabled port N on switch A sending a probe packet P to switch
B. Since switch B is in loop state, the probe packet P returns to port N on A. The Switch then shuts down
port N to ensure that the rest of the network is not affected by the switch in loop state.
Chapter 12 Monitor: Loop Guard
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
86
Figure 84 Loop Guard - Probe Packet
The Switch also shuts down port N if the probe packet returns to switch A on any other port. In other
words loop guard also protects against standard network loops. The following figure illustrates three
switches forming a loop. A sample path of the loop guard probe packet is also shown. In this example,
the probe packet is sent from port N and returns on another port. As long as loop guard is enabled on
port N. The Switch will shut down port N if it detects that the probe packet has returned to the Switch.

Monitor: Multicast
13.1 Overview
This section provides information for Multicast in Monitor.
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender to 1 recipient) or
Broadcast (1 sender to everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to just a group of hosts
on the network.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership
in an IPv4 multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112, RFC 2236 and RFC 3376 for
information on IGMP versions 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

14.2.5 STP Statistics
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a Switch to interact with other (R)STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that
only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
The Switch uses IEEE 802.1w RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) that allows faster convergence of the
spanning tree than STP (while also being backwards compatible with STP-only aware bridges). In RSTP,
topology change information is directly propagated throughout the network from the device that
generates the topology change. In STP, a longer delay is required as the device that causes a topology
change first notifies the root bridge and then the root bridge notifies the network. Both RSTP and STP flush
unwanted learned addresses from the filtering database. In RSTP, the port states are Discarding,
Learning, and Forwarding.
Note: In this user’s guide, “STP” refers to both STP and RSTP.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
PoE Mode Select the power management mode you want the Switch to use.
•Classification - Select this if you want the Switch to reserve the maximum power for each PD
according to the PD’s power class and priority level. If the total power supply runs out, PDs
with lower priority do not get power to function. In this mode, the maximum power is
reserved based on what you configure in Max Po wer or the standard power limit for each
class.
•Consumption - Select this if you want the Switch to supply the actual power that the PD
needs. The Switch also allocates power based on a port’s Max Power and the PD’s power
class and priority level. The Switch puts a limit on the maximum amount of power the PD can
request and use. In this mode, the default maximum power that can be delivered to the PD
is 33 W (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) or 22 W (IEEE 802.3af Classes 0 to 3).
Pre-Allocate This field is only available on GS1900-8HP (Revision B1) and GS1900-10HP only.

Class This shows the power classification of the PD. Each PD has a specified maximum power that fall
under one of the classes.
The Class is a number from 0 to 4, where each value represents the range of power that the
Switch provides to the PD. The power ranges for each class are as follows.
•Class 0 - Default, 0.44 to 12.94
•Class 1 - Optional, 0.44 to 3.84
•Class 2 - Optional, 3.84 to 6.49
•Class 3 - Optional, 6.49 to 12.95
•Class 4 - Reserved (PSEs classify as Class 0) in a switch that supports IEEE 802.3af only.
Optional, 12.95 to 25.50 in a switch that supports IEEE 802.3at.
PD Priority When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on the Switch,
you can set the PD priority to allow the Switch to provide power to ports with higher priority first.
•Critical has the highest priority.
•High has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical priority ports are served.
•Medium has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical and high priority ports are
served.
•Low has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical, high and medium priority ports
are served.
Power-Up This shows how the Switch provides power to the connected PD at power-up.
802.3af - the Switch follows the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard to supply power to
the connected PDs during power-up.
Legacy - the Switch can provide power to the connected PDs that require high inrush currents
at power-up.
Pre-802.3at - the Switch initially offers power on the port according to the IEEE 802.3af standard,
and then switches to support the IEEE 802.3at standard within 75 milliseconds after a PD is
connected to the port. Select this option if the Switch is performing 2-event Layer-1 classification
(PoE+ hardware classification) or the connected PD is NOT performing Layer 2 power
classification using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
802.3at - the Switch supports the IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet standard and can
supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port. IEEE 802.3at is also known as PoE+ or PoE Plus. An
IEEE 802.3at compatible device is referred to as Type 2. Power Class 4 (High Power) can only be
used by Type 2 devices. If the connected PD requires a Class 4 current when it is turned on, it will
be powered up in this mode.
Wide Range
Detection
This field is available on GS1900-8HP (Revision B1) and GS1900-10HP only.
This shows whether the Switch enables a wider detection range for the PD or not.
The Switch detects whether a connected device is a powered device or not before supplying
power to the port. For the PD detection, the Switch applies a fixed voltage to the device and
then receives returned current. If the returned current is within the IEEE 802.3AF/AT standard
range, the device will be considered as a valid PD by the Switch.
However, in real cases, environmental interferences might easily cause the returned current out
of the standard range. This field displays Enable if the Switch applies a wider range for PD
detection. Otherwise, it displays Disable.

CHAPTER 20
Configuration: VLAN
20.1 Overview
This section provides information for VLAN in Configuration.
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one
group. With VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same
group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.
In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the
subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network
resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will not see the printers and hard disks of another user
on the same network.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable
logical broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and
every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.
20.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• The VLAN screen (Section 20.2 on page 127) displays VLAN, port, and VLAN port settings.
• The Guest VLAN screen (Section 20.3 on page 131) displays the global and port settings of the Switch.

20.2.5 The VLAN Port Screen
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC
address and its associated port. Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for
each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example,
between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port,
that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports. Port-based VLANs are specific only to
the Switch on which they were created.

20.3 Guest VLAN
When 802.1x port authentication is enabled on the Switch and its ports, clients that do not have the
correct credentials are blocked from using the port(s). You can configure your Switch to have one VLAN
that acts as a guest VLAN. If you enable the guest VLAN (102 in the example) on a port (2 in the
example), the user (A in the example) that is not IEEE 802.1x capable or fails to enter the correct
username and password can still access the port, but traffic from the user is forwarded to the guest
VLAN. That is, unauthenticated users can have access to limited network resources in the same guest
VLAN, such as the Internet. The rights granted to the Guest VLAN depends on how the network
administrator configures switches or routers with the guest network feature.

21.1 Overview
This section provides information for MAC Table in Configuration.
The MAC Table screen (a MAC table is also known as a filtering database) shows how frames are
forwarded or filtered across the Switch’s ports. When a device (which may belong to a VLAN group)
sends a packet which is forwarded to a port on the Switch, the MAC address of the device is shown on
the Switch’s MAC Table. It also shows whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the Switch) or
static (manually entered in the Static MAC Forwarding screen).

CHAPTER 22
Configuration: Link
Aggregation
22.1 Overview
This section provides information for Link Aggregation in Configuration.
This chapter shows you how to logically aggregate physical links to form one logical, higher bandwidth
link.
22.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
The Link Aggregation screen (Section 22.2 on page 142) displays global, LAG management, LAG port,
and LACP port settings.
22.2 Link Aggregation
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You
may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize
a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is one
logical link containing multiple ports.
The Switch supports both static and dynamic link aggregation.
Note: In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation
only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your
Switch.

LACP State Select Enable to activate the link aggregation control protocol.
LACP System
Priority
LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,535. The switch with the lowest system
priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the LACP “server”. The
LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a number to set the priority of an
active port using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The smaller the number, the higher
the priority level.
Load Balance
Algorithm
Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same
destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses the IP/MAC
Address distribution type. If the Switch is behind a router, the packet’s destination or source
MAC address will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to distribute traffic based on its IP
address to make sure port trunking can work properly.
Select MAC Address to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination MAC addresses.

CHAPTER 26
Configuration: Multicast
26.1 Overview
This section provides information for Multicast in Configuration.
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender to 1 recipient) or
Broadcast (1 sender to everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to just a group of hosts
on the network.
26.2 IGMP
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership
in an IPv4 multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112, RFC 2236 and RFC 3376 for
information on IGMP versions 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

CHAPTER 27
Configuration: Spanning Tree
27.1 Overview
This section provides information for Spanning Tree in Configuration.
The Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as defined in the following standards.
• IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports can then be assigned to
the trees.
27.2 Spanning Tree
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that
only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

Priority is part of bridge ID, used for CIST root bridge selection.
Max Hops Enter a maximum number of hops value. The value can be between 1 and 40.
Forward Delay This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch will wait before changing states. This delay is
required because every switch must receive information about topology changes before it
starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information
that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result. The
allowed range is 4 to 30 seconds.
As a general rule:
2 * (Forward Delay - 1) >= Max Age >= 2 * (Hello Time + 1)
Max Age This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch can wait without receiving a BPDU before
attempting to reconfigure. All switch ports (except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs
at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last BPDU) becomes
the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from
among the switch ports attached to the network. The allowed range is 6 to 40 seconds.
Tx Hold Count Enter a transmission hold count value. The value can be between 1 and 10.

State Select Enable to activate the global LLDP.
Transmission
Interval
Enter the transmission interval value.
The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbors for having the network discovery
information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is determined by the Tx Interval
value. Valid values are restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.

GS1900 Series User’s Guide
177
28.2.2 The Port Screen
Use this screen to view the Port settings. Click Configuration > LLDP > Port to open this screen.
Hold Multiplier Enter the hold multiplier value.
Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the information in the LLDP frame shall
be considered valid. The LLDP information valid period is set to Tx Hold multiplied by Tx Interval
seconds. Valid values are restricted to 2 - 10 times.
Reinitialization
Delay
Enter the reinitialization delay value.
When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted, an LLDP shutdown frame is
transmitted to the neighboring units, signaling that the LLDP information isn't valid anymore. Tx
Reinit controls the amount of seconds between the shutdown frame and a new LLDP
initialization. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 10 seconds.
Transmit Delay Enter the transmission delay value.
If some configuration is changed (for example, the IP address) a new LLDP frame is transmitted,
but the time between the LLDP frames will always be at least the value of Tx Delay seconds. Tx
Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 8192
seconds.
LLDP-MED Fast
Start Repeat
Count
Enter the LLDP-MED fast start repeat count value.
Because there is a risk of an LLDP frame being lost during transmission between neighbors, it is
recommended to repeat the fast start transmission multiple times to increase the possibility of
the neighbors receiving the LLDP frame. With Fast start repeat count it is possible to specify the
number of times the fast start transmission would be repeated. The recommended value is 4
times, given that 4 LLDP frames with a 1 second interval will be transmitted, when an LLDP frame
with new information is received.

Configuration: QoS
29.1 Overview
This section provides information for QoS (Quality of Service) in Configuration.
29.2 General
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the
networking methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic data is equally likely
to be dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and
make the network inadequate for time-critical application such as video-on-demand.

DA_EQUAL_SA Layer 2 These attacks result from sending a specially crafted packet to
a machine where the source MAC address is the same as the
destination MAC address. The system attempts to reply to itself,
resulting in system lockup.
LAND Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 These attacks result from sending a specially crafted packet to
a machine where the source host IPv4/IPv6 address is the same
as the destination host IPv4/IPv6 address. The system attempts
to reply to itself, resulting in system lockup.
UDP_BLAT / TCP_BLAT (Blat

Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 These attacks result from sending a specially crafted packet to
a machine where the source host UDP/TCP port is the same as
the destination host UDP/TCP port. The system attempts to reply
to itself, resulting in system lockup.

PoD (Ping of Death) Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 Ping of Death uses a "ping" utility to create and send an IP
packet that exceeds the maximum 65,536 bytes of data
allowed by the IP specification. This may cause systems to
crash, hang or reboot.
IPv6_FRAG_LEN_MIN Layer 3 IPv6 This attack uses IPv6 fragmented packets (excluding the last
one) whose payload length is less than 1240 bytes.
ICMP_FRAG_PKT Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 This attack uses many small fragmented ICMP packets.
ICMPv4_PING_MAX /
ICMPv6_PING_MAX
Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 This attack uses Ping packets whose length is larger than 512
bytes.
SMURF Layer 3 IPv4 This attack uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
requests packets (pings) to cause network congestion or
outages.
SYNchronization (SYN), ACKnowledgment (ACK) and FINish (FIN) packets are used to initiate, acknowledge and
conclude TCP/IP communication sessions. The following scans exploit weaknesses in the TCP/IP specification and
try to illicit a response from a host to identify ports for an attack:
TCP_HDR_LEN_MIN Layer 3 IPv4 TCP packets with header length less than 20 bytes.
SYN_SPORT_LESS_1024 Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 TCP SYN packets with source port less than 1024.
NULL_SCAN (Scan Attack) Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 TCP sequence number is zero and all control bits are zeros.

Troubleshooting
This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter. The potential problems are
divided into the following categories.
•Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs
•Switch Access and Login
•Switch Configuration
34.1 Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs
The Switch does not turn on. None of the LEDs turn on.
1Make sure the Switch is turned on (in DC models or if the DC power supply is connected in AC/DC
models).
2Make sure you are using the power adapter or cord included with the Switch.
3Make sure the power adapter or cord is connected to the Switch and plugged in to an appropriate
power source. Make sure the power source is turned on.
4Turn the Switch off and on (in DC models or if the DC power supply is connected in AC/DC models).
5Disconnect and re-connect the power adapter or cord to the Switch (in AC models or if the AC power
supply is connected in AC/DC models).
6If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
One of the LEDs does not behave as expected.
1Make sure you understand the normal behavior of the LED. See Section 3.3 on page 35.
2Check the hardware connections. See Chapter 2 on page 22.

5Disconnect and re-connect the power adapter or cord to the Switch (in AC models or if the AC power
supply is connected in AC/DC models).
6If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
34.2 Switch Access and Login
I forgot the IP address for the Switch.
1The default in-band IP address is 192.168.1.1 or http://DHCP-assigned IP (when connecting to a DHCP
server).
2If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 3.4 on page 36 or
Section 33.6 on page 235.
I forgot the username and/or password.
1The default username is admin and the default password is 1234.
2If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 3.4 on page 36 or
Section 33.6 on page 235.
I cannot see or access the Login screen in the Web Configurator.
1Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
• The default in-band IP address is 192.168.1.1.
• If you changed the IP address, use the new IP address.
• If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I
forgot the IP address for the Switch.
2Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See Chapter 2
on page 22.
3Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScripts and Java
enabled.
4Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the Switch. (If you know that there are routers
between your computer and the Switch, skip this step.)
5Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the Switch with the default IP address. See
Section 3.4 on page 36 or Section 33.6 on page 235.
Chapter 34 Troubleshooting
GS1900 Series User’s Guide
243
6If the problem continues, contact the vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
• Try to access the Switch using another service, such as HTTPS. If you can access the Switch, check the
remote management settings to find out why the Switch does not respond to HTTP.
I can see the Login screen, but I cannot log in to the Switch.
1Make sure you have entered the user name and password correctly. The default user name is admin,
and the default password is 1234. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
2Check that you have enabled logins for HTTP. If you have configured a secured client IP address, your
computer’s IP address must match it. Refer to the chapter on access control for details.
3Disconnect and re-connect the cord to the Switch.
4If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 3.4 on page 36 or
Section 33.6 on page 235.
Pop-up Windows, JavaScripts and Java Permissions
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
34.3 Switch Configuration
I lost my configuration settings after I restart the Switch.
Make sure you save your configuration into the Switch’s
nonvolatile memory each time you make changes. Click
Save at the top right corner of the Web Configurator to save
the configuration permanently. See also Section 5.3.1 on page 45 for more information about how to
save your configuration.
