4. WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT This section introduces the configur ation and functions of the Web-Based management. 4.1 About W eb-based Management The switch offers management features that allow users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard bro wser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer .
WSW-2401A Web Management Interface 4.4 System 4.4.1 IP Configuration The switch can be managed by the Web/T elnet/S NMP interfaces. Administrators can access the management interface via the IP address of the swit ch. The default IP address of the switch is 192.
NOTE: 1. T he Switch’ s factory-default IP address is 19 2.168.0.100 with Submask 25 5.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.0.254 2. T he changed IP address take ef fect immediately after click on the OK button, you need to use the ne w IP address to access the W eb interface.
message is designed to replace the SNMPv 1 trap message. SNMP community An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations runn ing SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent. The community name is used to identif y the group.
This table is to define the system name, system location and the contact person of the switch. These informations show in the SNMP software of the ma nagement workstation which helps to identify the switch that is looking into.
4. Management S tation Configuration A trap manager is a manag ement station (SNMP applic ation) that receives traps (the system alerts generated by the switch). If no trap manager is def ined, no traps are issued. Create a trap manager b y entering the IP address of the st ation and a community string.
4.4.3 Password The Passwo rd management menu is to set or change the pa ssword of the Web Management Interface. Click on System/Passwo rd menu button, and the Modify Password table shows in the main web page. Enter “old p assword “ , “new password” , “confirm password” Click “OK” to change the password.
CAUTION: Do not power off the sw itch until the update progress is complete. 4.4.6 Saving Parameters It takes effect i mmediately when you ch ange the parameters of the manag ement function when the switch is running. But the parameters would not be saved after reboot the sw ith.
T o backup the runn ing conf iguration, click on the “Bac kup the system’s p arameters” link, and a pop up window shows to save the configuration of the s witch to your workstation. T o recover a saved config uration, click on the “Browse” button in the Parameters Recovery table.
4.5 Port Management 4.5.1 Port Configuration This function is to configure and to vie w the configured port management status, port negotiation mode and the port flow control function. 。 Management S t atus: Display port status: Enable or Disab le. Disable is to turn of f the port.
4.5.3 Port Band Restrict The function provides the In-B and and Out-Band conn ection speed restriction on the ports. The Band of the connection speed rangs from 64Kbps to 80000Kbps. Ingress Port List/Egress Port L i st field can be filled in distinct number or a port rang e.
4.6 Redundancy 4.6.1 S p anning T ree 1. Sp anning T ree Protocol The IEEE 802.1D S panning T ree Protocol and IEEE 802. 1W Rapid S panning T ree Protocol allow for the blocking of links bet ween switches that form loops within the network. When multiple links bet ween switches are detected, a primar y link is establish ed.
The communication bet ween switches via BPDUs results in the following: 。 One switch is elected as the root switch 。 The shortest distance to the root sw itch is calculated for each switch 。 A designated switch is s elected. This is the switch closest to the root switch through which packet s will be forwarded to the root.
。 From listening to learning or to disabled 。 From learning to for warding or to disabled 。 From forwarding to disabled 。 From disabled to blocking Switch Blocking Listening Learning Forwarding Disable STP Port S tate T ransitions Y ou can modify each port state by using managem ent software.
configurable except by setting priority below) the switch’s MAC address. The Bridge Identifier consists of two parts: a 16-bit priority and a 48-bit Ethernet MAC address 32768 + MAC Priority A relat.
parameters in the Switch are as follows: Priority – A Priority for the swit ch can be set from 0 to 65535. 0 is equal to the highest Prio rity . Hello Time – The He llo T ime can be from 1 to 10 seconds.
Bridge ID = 15 Port 3 Port 1 Port 2 A Bridge ID = 20 Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 C Bridge ID = 30 Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 B LAN 1 LAN 2 LAN 3 Portcast = 19 Portcast = 19 Portcast = 19 Portcast = 4 Portcast = 4 Portcast = 19 Portcast = 4 Portcast = 4 Before Applying the ST A Rules In this example, only the default STP values are used.
between switch B and C is deliberate ly chosen as a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link (default port cost = 19). Gigabit ports could be used, but the port cost should be increased from t he default to ensure that the link between switch B and s witch C is the blocked link.
the default setting is 128.The lo wer number has the highest priority . Path Cost: S pecifies the path cost of the port. The switch uses this p arameter to help determine which port will become a for warding port. Lower numbers will be used as forwarding ports first.
It allows a maximum of eight p orts to be aggregated at the same time and up to 12 groups. If the group is defined as a LACP static link aggregationing group, then any extra ports selected are placed in a standby mode for redundancy if one of the other ports fails .
transmissions warrant special consideratio n. The Switch allows you to further tailor how priority tagged data packets are handled on your network. Using queues to manage pri ority tagged data allows you to specify its relative priority to suit the needs of your network.
DEF AUL T_ VLAN port member list. The DEF A UL T _VLAN has a VID = 1. Port-based VLAN Port-based VLAN limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. T hus, all devices connected to a port and e packet's destination lies on the same segment, communications take place using normal Ethernet protocols.
MAC address. Their presence is indicated by a value of 0x8100 i n the Ether T ype field. When a packet's Ether T ype field is equal to 0x8100, the packet ca rries the IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p t ag. T he tag is contained in the following two octets and consists of 3 bits of user priorit y , 1 bit of Canonical F ormat Identifier (CFI - nd 12 y 802.
decisions are based upon this PVID, in so far as VLAN are concerned. T agged packets are forwarded according to the VID contained within the tag. T agged packets are also assigned a PVID, but the PVID is not used to make packet forwarding decisions, the VID is.
2. The main page then change to Port-base VLAN table, click on the “A dd/Modify” button to create a new VLAN group. 3. The Port-ba se VLAN Confirut ation table then pops up, enter the VLAN group ID, VLAN name and 5.
