1 Introduction
Overview
H3C Magic BS200 Switch Series (hereinafter referred to as BS200) are a portfolio of GE cloud-managed network switches.
The switch, adopting a brand new software and hardware platform, supports one-key switching among four operating modes (standard switch, port isolation, uplink aggregation, and network clone), providing an effective response to a variety of complex network environments. The switch, featuring easy installation and abundant service features, also can be managed and maintained in a unified manner through a cloud network (cloud + gateway), making it applicable to small and micro enterprises, commercial chains, hotels, and campuses.

Ports
Function key
The switch series provide a function key for selecting one operating mode among the 4 operating modes. The default operating mode is "standard switch".
Operation instructions
The function key employs an anti-miscontact design. Table3-1 describes the instructions for using the function key.
Table3-1 Operation instructions
|
Operation |
Description |
|
Unlock button |
Press and hold the function key for 3 seconds to unlock the function key. Then, the mode LED flashes. |
|
Mode switch/taking effect |
After the function key is unlocked, press it once to switch to another operating mode. After the function key is pressed, a corresponding mode LED is on. The mode is selected when 5 seconds elapse after the function key is pressed. In this case, the mode LED becomes steady, the mode takes effect, and the function key becomes locked again. |
|
Factory reset |
Press and hold the function key for more than 10 seconds until the 4 mode LEDs are on. In this case, the device will restore its factory setting and automatically reboot. |
Mode description
Table3-2 describes the 4 operating modes.
|
Working mode |
Description |
Application |
|
Standard switch |
Enable traffic control and port negotiation. |
Serve as one standard full GE switch. |
|
Port isolation |
Enable layer-2 isolation between downlink ports so that each port can communicate only with its Uplink ports. |
Apply to scenarios with high privacy requirements for downlink network, reduce broadcasting storms, and isolate DHCP broadcasting. For example, isolate hosts in an Internet cafe. |
|
Uplink aggregation |
Enable traffic control and port negotiation, and provide port trunking for 2 Uplink optical ports or 2 Uplink electrical ports (source MAC + target MAC, static trunking). WARNING! In this case, the peer device port of the Uplink port also requires static trunking. Otherwise, a loop may occur. |
Apply to the requirements for expanding bandwidth when the network bandwidth is inadequate, without replacing a device. |
|
Network clone |
Disable traffic control, but enable port negotiation. |
Apply to the "network clone" application scenario mode. |
|
|
NOTE: · Traffic control: When a local port receives a packet that is faster than a line speed from a remote end, the local port will automatically send flow control frames to the remote port to request the remote port to reduce the transmitting speed, thus ensuring proper communication. · Port negotiation: Negotiate on the transmitting speed before communication, to keep the speed consistent between the two ports. The port speed of the local device can be reduced by enabling port negotiation when it is higher than that of the remote port, to ensure proper communication. · Port trunking: Static trunking is applied for the two Uplink ports to form a trunking group, in which each port undertake loads based on source MAC + target MAC of received data. |
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port
The Ethernet switch series provide 10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing Ethernet ports. Each device provides two 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports (Uplink ports) as its uplink interfaces.
