Security 2.1 Password / SNMPv3 access
This dialog gives you the option of changing the read and read/write
passwords for access to the device via the Web-based interface, via the CLI,
and via SNMPv3 (SNMP version 3). Please note that passwords are case-
sensitive.
Set different passwords for the read password and the read/write password
so that a user that only has read access (user name “user”) does not know,
or cannot guess, the password for read/write access (user name “admin”).
If you set identical passwords, when you attempt to write this data the device
reports a general error.
The Web-based interface and the user interface (CLI) use the same
passwords as SNMPv3 for the users “admin” and “user”.

Security 2.1 Password / SNMPv3 access
Note: If you do not know a password with “read/write” access, you will not
have write access to the device.
Note: For security reasons, the device does not display the passwords.
Make a note of every change. You cannot access the device without a valid
password.
Note: For security reasons, SNMPv3 encrypts the password. With the
“SNMPv1” or “SNMPv2” setting in the dialog Security:SNMPv1/v2
access, the device transfers the password unencrypted, so that this can
also be read.
Note: Use between 5 and 32 characters for the password in SNMPv3, since
many applications do not accept shorter passwords.
RM Web L2E
Release 6.0 07/2010 41
Security 2.2 SNMPv1/v2 Access Settings
With this dialog you can select access via SNMPv1 or SNMPv2. In the state
on delivery, both protocols are activated.
You can thus manage the device with HiVision and communicate with earlier
versions of SNMP.
Note: To be able to read and/or change the data in this dialog, log in to the
Web-based interface with the user name “admin” and the relevant password.
X In the “Index” column, you enter the sequential number to which the
access restriction applies.
X In the “Password” column, you enter the password with which a
management station may access the device via SNMPv1/v2 from the
specified address range. Please note that passwords are case-sensitive.
X In the “IP Address” column, you enter the IP address which may access
the device. No entry in this field, or the entry “0.0.0.0”, allows access to
this device from computers with any IP address. In this case, the only
access protection is the password.
X In the “IP Mask” column, much the same as with netmasks, you have the
option of selecting a group of IP addresses.
Example:
255.255.255.255: a single IP address
255.255.255.240 with IP address = 172.168.23.20:

Security 2.2 SNMPv1/v2 Access Settings
X In the “Access Mode” column, you specify whether this computer can
access the device with the read password (access mode “readOnly”) or
with the read/write password (access mode “readWrite”).
Note: The password for the “readOnly” access mode is the same as the
SNMPv3 password for read access. The password for the “readWrite”
access mode is the same as the SNMPv3 password for read/write
access. When you change one of the passwords, the device
automatically synchronizes the corresponding password for SNMPv3
(see on page 40 “Password / SNMPv3 access“).
Note: If you have not activated any row, the device does not apply any
access restriction with regard to the IP addresses.
X The “Create entry” button enables you to create a new row in the table.
X With “Delete entry” you delete selected rows in the table.

This allows access to all services from any IP address. This allows you full
access to the device, even if a restriction is activated, e.g. to initially configure
the function. You have the option to change or delete this entry.
When you create a new entry, this entry also has these preset properties.
Note: If you activate the function and no entry in the table permits your
current access, then you can no longer access the management of the
device once you write these settings to the device.
If no entry allows access, nobody has access to the device management.

X The “IEEE/SNTP time” displays the time with reference to Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC).
The time displayed is the same worldwide. Local time differences are not
taken into account.
X The “System time” uses the “IEEE 1588 / SNTP time”, allowing for the
local time difference from “IEEE 1588 / SNTP time”.
“System time” = “IEEE 1588 / SNTP time” + “Local offset”.
X “Time source” displays the source of the following time data. The device
automatically selects the source with the greatest accuracy.
Possible sources are: local and sntp. The source is initially local. If
SNTP is activated and if the device receives a valid SNTP packet, the
device sets its time source to sntp.
With “Set time from PC”, the device takes the PC time as the system time
and calculates the IEEE 1588 / SNTP time using the local time difference.
“IEEE 1588 / SNTP time” = “System time” - “Local offset”
With “Set offset from PC”, the agent determines the time zone on your PC
and uses it to calculate the local time difference.
Note: When setting the time in zones with summer and winter times, make
an adjustment for the local offset, if applicable. The device can also get the
SNTP server IP address and the local offset from a DHCP server.

Switching 4.3 Rate Limiter
The device can limit the rate of message traffic during periods of heavy traffic
flow.
Entering a limit rate for each port specifies the amount of traffic the device is
permitted to transmit and receive.
If the data load transmitted at this port exceeds the maximum load entered,
the device will discard the excess data at this port.
Note: The limiter functions work exclusively on layer 2 and serve the purpose
of limiting the effects of storms of those frame types (typically broadcasts)
that the Switch floods. The limiter function ignores any protocol information
of higher layers like IP or TCP. This may affect e.g., TCP traffic.
You can minimize this effects by:
X applying the limiter function only to particular frame types (e.g., to
broadcasts, multicasts and unicasts with an unlearned destination
address) and excluding unicasts with a learned destination address from
the limitation,
X using the egress limiter function instead of the ingress limiter function
because the former cooperates slightly better with TCP‘s flow control
(reason: frames buffered by the internal switching buffer),
X increasing the aging time for learned unicast destination addresses.

Redundancy 6.3 Spanning Tree
Under Spanning Tree you will find the dialogs and views for configuring and
monitoring the Spanning Tree function in accordance with the IEEE 802.1w
(Rapid Spanning Tree, RSTP) standard.
Note: The Spanning Tree Protocol is a protocol for MAC bridges. For this
reason, the following description employs the term bridge for Switch.
Introduction
Local networks are getting bigger and bigger. This applies to both the
geographical expansion and the number of network participants. Therefore,
it is advantageous to use multiple bridges, for example:
X to reduce the network load in sub-areas,
X to set up redundant connections and
X to overcome distance limitations.
RM Web
130 Release 6.0 07/2010
Redundancy 6.3 Spanning Tree
Note: RSTP reduces a layer 2 network topology with redundant paths into a
tree structure (Spanning Tree) that does not contain any more redundant
paths. One of the Switches takes over the role of the root bridge here. The
maximum number of devices permitted in a branch (from the root bridge to
the tip of the branch) is specified by the variable Max Age for the current root
bridge. The preset value for Max Age is 20, which can be increased up to 40.
If the device working as the root fails and another device takes over its
function, the Max Age setting of the new root bridge determines the
maximum number of devices allowed in a branch.
Note: The RSTP standard dictates that all the devices within a network work
with the (Rapid) Spanning Tree Algorithm. If STP and RSTP are used at the
same time, the advantages of faster reconfiguration with RSTP are lost.
A device that only supports RSTP works together with MSTP devices by not
assigning an MST region to itself, but rather the CST (Common Spanning
Tree).
Note: By changing the IEEE 802.1D-2004 standard for RSTP, the Standards
Commission reduced the maximum value for the “Hello Time” from 10 s to
2 s. When you update the Switch software from a release before 5.0 to
release 5.0 or higher, the new software release automatically reduces the
locally entered “Hello Time” values that are greater than 2 s to 2 s.
If the device is not the RSTP root, “Hello Time” values greater than 2 s can
remain valid, depending on the software release of the root device.
Note: The following text uses the term Spanning Tree (STP) to describe
settings or behavior that applies to STP, RSTP or MSTP.

Spanning Tree and Ring Redundancy or Ring/Network coupling affect each
other.
Activate the MRP compatibility in an MRP-Ring if you want to use RSTP and
MRP in combination.
If you combine RSTP with an MRP-Ring, set the bridges in the MRP-Ring to
a better (numerically lower) RSTP bridge priority than those in the connected
RSTP network. Thus you avoid a connection interruption if connections in the
MRP-Ring become inoperable.

Diagnostics 8.5 Port Mirroring
The port mirroring function enables you to review the data traffic at up to 8
ports of the device for diagnostic purposes. The device additionally forwards
(mirrors) the data for these ports to another port. This process is also called
port mirroring.
The ports to be reviewed are known as source ports. The port to which the
data to be reviewed is copied is called the destination port. You can only use
physical ports as source or destination ports.
In port mirroring, the device copies valid incoming and outgoing data packets
of the source port to the destination port. The device does not affect the data
traffic at the source ports during port mirroring.
A management tool connected at the destination port, e.g. an RMON probe,
can thus monitor the data traffic of the source ports in the sending and
receiving directions.
The destination port forwards all data to be sent.
On the devices PowerMICE, MACH 104, MACH 1040 and MACH 4000, the
destination port blocks received data, on all other devices, the destinations
port also forwards received data.
Select the source ports whose data traffic you want to review from the list
of physical ports by checkmarking the relevant boxes.
You can select a maximum of 8 source ports. Ports that cannot be
selected are displayed as inactive by the device, e.g. the port currently
being used as the destination port, or if you have already selected 8 ports.

If the IP address already exists, the device will return to the previous
configuration, if possible, and make another attempt after 15 seconds.
This prevents the device from connecting to the network with a duplicate
IP address.
passiveOnly Enables passive detection only. The device listens passively on the
network to determine whether its IP address already exists. If it detects a
duplicate IP address, it will initially defend its address by employing the
ACD mechanism and sending out gratuitous ARPs. If the remote device
does not disconnect from the network, the management interface of the
local device will then disconnect from the network. Every 15 seconds, it
will poll the network to determine if there is still an address conflict. If there
isn't, it will connect back to the network.

Diagnostics 8.12 Service mode
The service mode enables you to divide the device into 2 transmission areas.
You can thus, for example, perform test or service configurations in the field
area of a network while the ongoing operation continues in the backbone
area.
The device specifies the two transmission areas via the HIPER-Ring ports:
transmission area 1 only includes the HIPER-Ring ports of the device, while
all other ports belong to transmission area 2. When the service mode is
activated, the device creates a new VLAN in which all the ports of
transmission area 2 are members. You use the redundant supply voltage
(see below) to activate the service mode. You can view the configuration of
the newly created VLAN in the dialogs under Switching/VLAN, but the device
does not allow these entries to be changed, in order to keep the service
configuration.
By generating the VLAN, the device
X resets the port VLAN IDs for all the ports of this VLAN to the new VLAN ID
X deactivates GVRP at all ports of this VLAN. The device thus prevents
GVRP from dynamically changing the service mode port settings.
X activates “ingress filtering” at all ports of this VLAN. Thus the device only
transmits packets when the input and output ports belong to this VLAN.

Diagnostics 8.12 Service mode
Note: If there is no redundant voltage when activating the service mode (by
clicking on “Set” - see below), the switch immediately creates the 2 switching
areas. Depending on the settings already entered, this may interrupt your
communication to the switch.
If you have verified that your communication with the Switch will not be
interrupted, click “OK” to activate the service mode.
The device will indicate in all dialogs that the service mode is activated.

Deactivate “Mode”.
Click “Set” to deactivate the service mode so that the device will no longer
switch to the service mode if the redundant voltage supply is lost.
Note: After the service mode is deactivated, the device takes on its previous
settings again.
