1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The SS2GD8I is a managed switch that meets all IEEE802.3/u/x/z Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
specifications. The switch features 6 Gigabit copper ports and 2 Gigabit Combo-SFP ports. The switch
can be managed through the RS-232 serial port or through an Ethernet port using either the CLI or Web
GUI. With an SNMP agent, the network administrator can also log into the switch to monitor, configure
and control the switch using SNMP. In addition, the switch features comprehensive and useful functions
such as QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security,
SNMP/RMON, and IGMP Snooping.
The 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports are standard ports that meet all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit specifications. The 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies
with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-SX/LX standards.
1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceivers are designed with an optic Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional full duplex signal over a single fiber
simultaneously.
1.2 Key Features of the Switch
QoS: Supports Quality of Service using the 802.1p standard. There are two priority queues and packet
transmission schedules.
Spanning Tree: Supports 802.1D, 802.1w (RSTP, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) standards.
VLAN: Supports port-based VLAN and 802.1Q tagged VLAN. Supports 256 active VLANs and 4094
VLAN IDs.
Port Trunking: Supports static port trunking and port trunking with 802.3ad LACP.
Bandwidth Control: Supports ingress and egress per port bandwidth control.
Port Security: Supports allowing and denying forwarding and port security with MAC address.
SNMP/RMON: SNMP agent and RMON MIB. The SNMP agent is a software client which uses the SNMP
protocol to receive commands from the SNMP manager on the server and return the corresponding data,
i.e. MIB object. The SNMP agent will also actively issue TRAP information when events occur. RMON is
the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of the SNMP MIB.
The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON MIB (RFC 1757) - statistics
groups 1, 2, 3, 9, Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643), Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643).
IGMP Snooping: Supports IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236). The IGMP snooping function is used to establish
multicast groups to forward multicast packets to the member ports which avoid wasting the bandwidth
when IP multicast packets are sent over the network.
1.3 Checklist
