Chapter 6 Configure and Monitor Omada Managed Devices 802.1X Control Link Speed Port Isolation Spanning Tree LLDP-MED Bandwidth Control Ingress Rate Limit Egress Rate Limit Broadcast Threshold Select 802.1X Control mode for the ports. To configure the 802.1X authentication globally, go to Settings > Authentication > 802.1X. Auto: The port is unauthorized until the client is authenticated by the authentication server successfully. Force Authorized: The port remains in the authorized state, sends and receives normal traffic without 802.1X authentication of the client. Force Unauthorized: The port remains in the unauthorized state, and the client connected to the port cannot authenticate with any means. The switch cannot provide authentication services to the client through the port. Select the speed mode for the port. Auto: The port negotiates the speed and duplex automatically. Manual: Specify the speed and duplex from the drop-down list manually. Click the checkbox to enable Port Isolation. An isolated port cannot communicate directly with any other isolated ports, while the isolated port can send and receive traffic to non-isolated ports. Click the checkbox to enable Spanning Tree. It helps to ensure that you do not create loops when you have redundant paths in the network. To make sure Spanning Tree takes effect on the port, go to the Config tab and enable Spanning Tree on the switch. Click the checkbox to enable LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery) for device discovery and auto-configuration of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) devices. Select the type of Bandwidth Control functions to control the traffic rate and specify traffic threshold on each port to make good use of network bandwidth. Off: Disable Bandwidth Control for the port. Rate Limit: Select Rate limit to limit the ingress/egress traffic rate on each port. With this function, the network bandwidth can be reasonably distributed and utilized. Storm Control: Select Storm Control to allow the switch to monitor broadcast frames, multicast frames and UL-frames (Unknown unicast frames) in the network. If the transmission rate of the frames exceeds the specified rate, the frames will be automatically discarded to avoid network broadcast storm. With Rate Limit selected, click the checkbox and specify the upper rate limit for receiving packets on the port. When Rate Limit selected, click the checkbox and specify the upper rate limit for sending packets on the port. With Storm Control selected, click the checkbox and specify the upper rate limit for receiving broadcast frames. The broadcast traffic exceeding the limit will be processed according to the Action configurations. 234
