5. Funcionament

5.1 Layer 3 Management Features

This L3 Managed switch offers a robust set of features for advanced network control and optimization:

Imatge 5.1: Visual representation of the Layer 3 management capabilities, including IPv4/IPv6 Routing, DHCP, LACP, VLAN, QoS, IGMP, STP, SNMP, ACL, Multicast, ERPS, Loopback, and OSPF.

• IPv4/IPv6 Routing: Enables routing between different IP subnets.
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for automatic IP address assignment.
• LACP (Protocol de control d'agregació d'enllaços): Combines multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
• VLAN (Xarxa d'Àrea Local Virtual): Segments the network into logical broadcast domains for improved security and performance.
• QoS (Qualitat de servei): Prioritizes network traffic to ensure critical applications receive sufficient bandwidth.
• IGMP (Protocol de gestió de grups d'Internet): Manages multicast group memberships.
• STP (Spanning Tree Protocol): Prevents network loops.
• SNMP (Protocol simple de gestió de xarxa): Allows network administrators to monitor and manage network devices.
• ACL (Llista de control d'accés): Filters network traffic based on defined rules.
• Defensa contra DoS: Protegeix contra atacs de denegació de servei.
• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): A routing protocol for large enterprise networks.

Detailed configuration guides for each feature are available within the web interfície de gestió.

5.2 Port Speed Configuration

The SFP+ ports on this switch are adaptive, supporting 1G, 2.5G, and 10G speeds. By default, ports auto-negotiate 10G/2.5G. To connect 1G devices, manual configuration is required.

Imatge 5.2: Web interface showing port settings for manual speed configuration (10G/2.5G or 10G/1000M).

1. Inici de sessió: Accedeix al web interfície de gestió.
2. Navigate to Port Settings: Locate the "Port Setting" section in the management interface.
3. Seleccioneu el port: Choose the specific SFP+ port you wish to configure.
4. Establir velocitat: Manually set the port speed to 10G/1G for 1G devices, or 10G/2.5G for 2.5G devices, ensuring compatibility with your SFP+ module and connected device.
5. Aplica la configuració: Click "Apply" to save the changes.
6. Desa la configuració: After making any changes, navigate to the "Tools" or "System" section and select "Save" to permanently store the configuration. Changes are not saved across power cycles until explicitly saved.

Imatge 5.3: Reminder to save configuration changes within the web interface to ensure they persist after a power cycle.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Disseny sense ventilador

The SODOLA switch features a fanless design, ensuring silent operation and reducing power consumption. This design relies on natural heat dissipation through its metal casing. Ensure the switch is placed in a location with adequate airflow to prevent overheating.

6.2 Seguretat i protecció

The switch incorporates several safety and protection features to ensure stable and reliable operation:

Imatge 6.1: Acabatview of the switch's comprehensive safety features, including Quadruple Binding, ARP Protection, IP Source Guard, DoS Defense, 802.1X Authentication, and DHCP Snooping.

• Protecció contra llamps de 6KV: Provides protection against electrical surges, enhancing stability during adverse weather conditions.
• Quadruple Binding: Enhances network security by binding IP, MAC, VLAN, and Port information.
• ARP Protection: Defends against ARP spoofing attacks.
• IP Source Guard: Prevents unauthorized IP addresses from accessing the network.
• Defensa contra DoS: Mitigates various Denial of Service attacks.
• 802.1X Authentication: Proporciona control d'accés a la xarxa basat en ports.
• Snooping DHCP: Filters untrusted DHCP messages.

7. Solució De Problemes

• No es pot accedir web interfície de gestió:
  • Ensure your PC's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch (default 192.168.2.1).
  • Verify that all devices in the connection chain (switch port -> module -> cable -> PC/NIC) are operating at the SAME speed (e.g., all 10G or all 2.5G). Mixed speeds can block access.
  • Clear your browser cache.
  • Intenta fer servir un altre web navegador.
  • Ensure the switch is powered on and the SYS LED is stable.
• 1G device not connecting or slow:
  • The default port rate is 10G/2.5G adaptive. To connect 1G devices, you must manually set the port speed to 10G/1G via the management interface.
  • Ensure you are using 1G-compatible SFP+ modules and cables for 1G connections.
• Configuration changes are lost after reboot:
  • Always remember to explicitly save your configuration changes through the web management interface (e.g., "Tools" -> "Save") after making adjustments. Changes are not automatically saved to persistent memory.
• Network loops or instability:
  • Ensure Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is enabled on the switch to prevent network loops, especially in complex topologies.
• Management interface crashes when sending large ICMP packets:
  • Avoid sending excessively large ICMP packets (e.g., 9K MTU ICMPs) directly to the switch's management interface, as this may cause it to become unresponsive, requiring a power cycle.
• SFP+ modules not detected:
  • Ensure the SFP+ modules are fully inserted and compatible with the switch.
  • Verify that the modules are functioning correctly.
