Click Apply (at the bottom of the screen) to finalize the settings.
13
The System Reboot page allows you to reboot the switch. Click Reboot System to perform a reboot.
Security
Protected Port page
This setting allows the user to prevent the selected ports from communication with each other.
Protected ports are allowed to communicate only with unprotected ports. No traffic will be allowed to
pass between any two ports both set to “Protected”. To protect a port, click it to select it, then select
Protected from the Protected Port State drop-down menu.
14
DoS page
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a device unavailable to its users. DoS attacks
saturate the device with external communication requests, so that it cannot respond to legitimate
traffic. These attacks usually lead to a device CPU overload.
The DoS protection feature is a set of predefined rules that protect the network from malicious attacks.
The Property section allows activation of the security settings.
POD: Avoids ping of death attack.
Land: Drops the packets if the source IP address is equal to the destination IP address.
UDP Blat: Drops the packets if the UDP source port equals to the UDP destination port.
TCP Blat: Drops the packages if the TCP source port is equal to the TCP destination port.
DMAC = SMAC: Drops the packets if the destination MAC address is equal to the source MAC address.
Null Scan Attack: Drops the packets with NULL scan.
X-Mas Scan Attack: Drops the packets if the sequence number is zero, and the FIN, URG and PSH bits
are set.
TCP SYN-FIN Attack: Drops the packets with SYN and FIN bits set.
15
TCP SYN-RST Attack: Drops the packets with SYN and RST bits set.
ICMP Fragment: Drops the fragmented ICMP packets.
TCP- SYN: Drops SYN packets with sport less than 1024.
TCP Fragment: Drops the TCP fragment packets with offset equals to one.
Ping Max Size: Specify the maximum size of the ICMPv4/ICMPv6 ping packets. The valid range is from 0
to 65535 bytes, and the default value is 512 bytes.
TCP Min Hdr Size: Checks the minimum TCP header and drops the TCP packets with the header smaller
than the minimum size. The length range is from 0 to 31 bytes, and default length is 20 bytes.
IPv6 Min Fragment: Checks the minimum size of IPv6 fragments, and drops the packets smaller than the
minimum size. The valid range is from 0 to 65535 bytes, and default value is 1240 bytes.
Smurf Attack: Avoids smurf attack. The length range of the netmask is from 0 to 32 bytes, and default
length is 0 bytes.
To apply the settings:
1. Click the Port Setting tab.
2. Click the ports to apply your DoS settings to, then click Apply.
16
PORTS
The Ports section contains three subsections. Each will be covered next.
PORT SETTINGS
Common Configuration page
The Common Configuration page will allow you to change a port state or port speed. You can simply click
on a port to select it (you can also select multiple ports) and then change the port State or Set Rate
down below. Click Apply to finalize your settings.
17
Port Statistics page
The port statistics page allows you to see statistics per port. Select a port from the drop down menu
towards the top and you will see statistics such as received and sent bytes and even if there are errors
on the port. Click Refresh to manually update the information on the page. Click Clear All to clear the
statistics on all ports. Click Clear to only clear the statistics of the selected port.
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 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
18
flow control feature is disabled. To change the state of flow control, select the ports you want to change
and then change the State down below. Click Apply to finalize the settings.
19
Broadcast Storm
The Broadcast storm page allows you to limit the amount of broadcast, multicast, or unicast data that is
allowed to pass incoming per port.
The Storm Control Global Setup allows you to modify how incoming traffic is calculated for storm
control.
Storm Control Mode: Select the unit of storm control.
Packet / Sec: storm control rate calculated by packet
Kbits / Sec: storm control rate calculated by kilobit
Storm Control IFG: Calculates traffic with or w/o preamble (8 bytes) & Inter-Frame Gap (12 bytes)
taken into account.
Exclude: exclude the preamble & IFG (20 bytes) when counting ingress storm control rate.
Include: include preamble & IFG (20 bytes) when counting ingress storm control rate.
The Port section allows you to configure individual ports with the desired storm control values.
[Port]: Select the ports to configure.
State: Select the state of setting.
Enable: Enable the storm control function.
Broadcast
State: Enable or Disable the storm control function of Broadcast packet.
20
Rate: Value of storm control rate, Unit: pps (packet per-second, range 1 - 262143) or
Kbps (Kbits per-second, range16 - 1000000) depends on global mode setting.
Unknown Multicast
State: Enable or Disable the storm control function of Unknown multicast packet.
Rate: Value of storm control rate, Unit: pps (packet per-second, range 1 - 262143) or
Kbps (Kbits per-second, range16 - 1000000) depends on global mode setting.
Unknown Unicast
State: Enable or Disable the storm control function of Unknown unicast packet.
Rate: Value of storm control rate, Unit: pps (packet per-second, range 1 - 262143) or
Kbps (Kbits per-second, range16 - 1000000) depends on global mode setting.
Action: Select the state of setting:
Drop: Packets exceed storm control rate will be dropped.
Shutdown: Port will be shut down when packets exceed storm control rate.
Link Aggregation page
Link aggregation groups multiple Ethernet ports together in parallel to act as a single logical link.
Aggregation-enabled devices treat all physical links (ports) in an aggregation group entirely as a single
logical link (port). Member ports in an aggregation group share egress/ingress traffic load, delivering a
bandwidth that is multiple of a single physical link. Link aggregation provides redundancy in case one of
