RTU560 product line
Switch 560NMS24
Data sheet
Application
The RTU component 560NMS24 is a managed plug and play
Layer-2-switch providing 4 fast Ethernet auto-negotiating RJ45-
ports with auto MDI/X (Automatic Crossover Detection and Cor-
rection) and two 2-wire SDSL-ports for use with private copper
cables. It can be used with rack types 560MPR01, 560MPR03
and 560SFR02.
The switch is intended for distributing Ethernet within a station
through the RJ45-ports. The SDSL-ports can be used for inter-
connecting stations with a maximum distance of 20 km (cop-
per cable with diameter of 0.8 mm). Longer distances can be
achieved by cascading multiple 560NMS24. The switch is able
to provide redundant topologies by the (Rapid) Spanning Tree
Protocol. The switch supports VLAN frames and tunneling of se-
rial data.

Characteristics
For documentation purposes, the Ethernet ports are labeled from
1 to 4. The SDSL ports are connected through the backplane.
There is no specific uplink port. All ports are equal in function.
Link and speed status of each Ethernet and SDSL port are dis-
played by status indicators (refer to Connectors and Indicators).
The switch learns Ethernet addresses by analyzing received
frames and stores them in a lookup-table (max. 2048 entries),
which is used to forward frames only to the correct port. If it is
broad- or multicast or if the target address is not found in the
lookup-table, a received frame is forwarded to all ports except
the receiving one. If an entry in the lookup-table is not refreshed
by an incoming frame with the specific source address, it is aged
out within a maximum of 304 seconds (by default, value is con-
figurable).
Regarding IEEE 802.1Q VLAN frames, the switch can be con-
figured to VLAN or transparent mode. In transparent mode the
switch will never change any frame or TAG of a frame; in VLAN
mode it can be configured to support several applications like
trunk or access ports.
Quality-of-Service is supported by the switch if an IEEE 802.1p
compliant frame format is used. The switch can separate frames
into up to four queues, which can be configured to priority based
or weighted-fair queuing.
The 560NMS24 uses a power supply voltage of 5 V that can be
set to the internal RTU supply or external supply via a Jumper.
The component itself, the Ethernet ports as well as the SDSL
connections and RS232 interface are hot-plug capable.
Connectors & Indicators Topology

Ports connected to a RTU from RTU500 series should be con-
figured with auto detect.

The switch supports a multiple of additional features, like port

mirroring, bandwidth control, or quality of service.

Alerts, Notifications and Logging

The 560NMS24 provides Syslog and SNMP capabilities to send

alerts and notifications to one or more predefined destinations.
There is also a relay for configurable out-of-band alerts.

For each Syslog server entry a severity can be entered to filter

outgoing messages.

A system log stores critical messages. The log can be accessed

by Telnet and implements a timestamp either by uptime, or date
and time if a time server is configured.

For Syslog and local logging, a SNTP time server can be used
to synchronize clocks and to enable the generation of date and
time timestamps instead of uptime related messages.

Redundancy Support

The redundancy protocols Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) are fully supported. With-
out configuration RSTP is enabled for all ports. Switching from
RSTP to STP is done automatically to ensure the compatibility
to existing STP installations.

For every port, the (R)STP parameters can be configured sepa-

rately. This includes port priority for root bridge control as well
as point-to-point and edge connection settings. A global bridge
priority is also settable.

Authentication

Access to the Telnet and SSH interface of the 560NMS24 is con-

trolled by a two-level password protection. The first level enables
the user to access parameters in read-only mode and has to be
entered as soon as a connection is established. To read and write
parameters, the device has to be put in a configuration mode
that requires an additional password. Any password can be dis-
abled. Some security sensitive information, such as the configu-
ration file, may not be available in read-only mode.

Besides the two-level password protection, users may be au-

thenticated by a standard RADIUS server.
