2.3 Cabling
10/100/1000BASE-T and 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX All 10/100/1000BASE-T ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically support 1000BASE-T, 100BASETX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and then turn on the Managed Switch. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after negotiating with the connected device. The Managed Switch has SFP interfaces that support 100/1000Mbps dual speed mode (Optional multi-mode/ single-mode 100BASE-FX/ 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP module)

Cabling Each 10/100/1000BASE-T port uses RJ45 sockets — similar to phone jacks — for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3/802.3u 802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100BASETX. 10BASE-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000BASE-T uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet). The 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP slot is used as LC connector with optional SFP module. Please see table below and know more about the cable specifications.

It is recommended to use PLANET SFPs on the Managed Switch. If you insert an SFP transceiver that is not supported, the Managed Switch might not recognize it.
Please choose the SFP/SFP+ transceiver which can be operated in the temperature range of 0~60 degrees C.

User’s Manual of GS-5220-16S8CR 1. Before we connect the Industrial 10G Managed Media Converter to the other network device, we have to make sure both
sides of the SFP transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 10GBASE-SX to 10GBASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX to 1000BASE-LX. 2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement. To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type. To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type. Connect the fiber cable 1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP/SFP+ transceiver. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP/SFP+ transceiver installed. 3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP/SFP+ slot on the front of the Industrial 10G Managed Media Converter. Ensure that
the SFP/SFP+ transceiver is operating correctly. 4. Check the Link mode of the SFP/SFP+ port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user
has to set the port Link mode to “10G FDX”, “2.5G FDX”, “1000M FDX” or “100M FDX”.

User’s Manual of GS-5220-16S8CR
3.2 Management Access Overview
The Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods: An administration console Web browser interface An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interfaces are embedded in the Managed Switch software and are available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three management methods.

Method

Advantages

Disadvantages

Console

No IP address or subnet needed Text-based Users can now utilize software such as
Tera Term, PuTTY, and SecureCRT. These programs offer robust support

Must be near the switch or use dial-up connection
Not convenient for remote users Modem connection may prove to be unreliable
or slow

for Telnet, as well as for SSH and serial

port connections

Secure

Ideal for configuring the switch remotely

Security can be compromised (hackers need to only know the IP address and subnet mask)

Web Browser Compatible with all popular browsers May encounter lag times on poor connections

Can be accessed from any location Most visually appealing

SNMP Agent

Communicates with switch functions at the MIB level
Based on open standards

Requires SNMP manager software Least visually appealing of all three methods Some settings require calculations Security can be compromised (hackers need
to only know the community name)

Table 3-2-1: Comparison of Management Methods

User’s Manual of GS-5220-16S8CR
3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch’s console port.
Figure 3-3-1: Console Management Direct Access Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a terminalemulation program (such as Tera Term) to the Managed Switch console port. When using this management method, a DB9 to RJ45 console cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters: The default parameters are:
115200 bps 8 data bits No parity 1 stop bit
Figure 3-3-2: Terminal Parameter Settings You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.

3.4 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Edge, Firefox or Google Chrome. After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the Managed Switch’s Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the Managed Switch.
Figure 3-4-1: Web Management You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch’s console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.
Figure 3-4-2: Web Main Screen of Managed Switch

User’s Manual of GS-5220-16S8CR
3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as iReasoning MIB Browser, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.
Figure 3-5-1: SNMP Management
3.6 PLANET Smart Discovery Utility
For easily listing the Managed Switch in your Ethernet environment, the Planet Smart Discovery Utility which usrs can download from PLANET’s website is an ideal solution. The following installation instructions are to guide you to running the Planet Smart Discovery Utility.

WEB CONFIGURATION

This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management. About Web-based Management The Managed Switch provides advanced management capabilities, enabling remote control and monitoring via standard web browsers like Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Google Chrome. This accessibility allows users to efficiently manage the switch from any internet-connected location. The switch’s Web-based Management system is tailored for compatibility with these modern browsers, ensuring an optimal balance of network bandwidth efficiency, swift access speeds, and a streamlined, user-friendly interface for effective network administration. The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address as the Managed Switch. For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the related configuration on manager PC.

4.2.7 SNMP Management
4.2.7.1 SNMP Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMS’s), SNMP agents, Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol: Network management stations (NMS’s): Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute management applications
that monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMS’s are usually engineering workstation-caliber computers with fast CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At least one NMS must be present in each managed environment. AgentsAgents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store management information such as the number of error packets received by a network element. Management information base (MIB)A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store. Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules. Network-management protocolA management protocol is used to convey management information between agents and NMS’s. SNMP is the Internet community’s de facto standard management protocol.
SNMP Operations SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMS’s can send multiple requests without receiving a response. Get — Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent. Set — Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent. Trap — Used by the agent to asynchronously inform the NMS of some event. The SNMPv2 trap message is designed to
replace the SNMPv1 trap message.
SNMP community An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. An SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. It will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP default communities are: Write = private Read = public

4.2.8 RMON
RMON is the most important expansion of the standard SNMP. RMON is a set of MIB definitions, used to define standard network monitor functions and interfaces, enabling the communication between SNMP management terminals and remote monitors. RMON provides a highly efficient method to monitor actions inside the subnets. MID of RMON consists of 10 groups. The switch supports the most frequently used group 1, 2, 3 and 9:
Statistics: Maintain basic usage and error statistics for each subnet monitored by the Agent. History: Record periodical statistic samples available from Statistics. Alarm: Allow management console users to set any count or integer for sample intervals and alert thresholds for
RMON Agent records.
Event: A list of all events generated by RMON Agent.
Alarm depends on the implementation of Event. Statistics and History display some current or history subnet statistics. Alarm and Event provide a method to monitor any integer data change in the network, and provide some alerts upon abnormal events (sending Trap or record in logs).
