19 4.2 Switch Settings 4.2.1 Basic Description: Displays the name of this managem ent switch. MAC Address: The unique hardware address is assigned by m a n u f a c t u r e r ( d e f a u l t ) . Firmwar e V ersion: Displays the switch’ s firmware version.
20 4.2.3 Advanced Miscellaneous Settings: MAC Address Age-out T i me : T ype the number of seconds that an inactive MAC address remains in the switch's address table. The valid range is 300~765 seconds. Default is 300 seconds. Max bridge transit delay bound control: Lim it the packets queuing time in switch.
21 that the switch sends 2 high prio rity packets before sending 1 low priority packet. Qos Policy: High Priority Levels, 0~7 priority levels, can map to high or low queue. Collisions Retry Forever : Enable it or just disable this function. 802.1X Protocol: IEEE 802.
22 4.3 Console Port Information Console is a standard UAR T interface to comm unicate with Serial Port. Y ou can use windows HyperT erminal program to link the switch.
23 4.4 Port Controls Y ou can change the status of each port in this page. 1.S tate: Y ou can enable or disable this port. 2.Auto Negotiation: Y ou can set auto negotiation mode as A uto, Nway (specify the speed/duplex on this port and enable auto-negotiation) or Force of each port.
24 0: disable rate control 1 ~ 1000: valid rate value. 7.Port Security: A port in security mode will be “locked” without permission of addres s learning. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existin g in the address table can be forwarded normally .
25 4.5 Trunking The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instance.
26 disable, the group is local static trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also supports LACP , the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically . 3. W ork ports: Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time.
27 4.5.3 S tate Activity Active (selected) : The port autom atically sends LACP protocol packets. Passive (not selected) : The port does not au tomatically sends LACP protocol packets, and res ponds only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
28 4.6 Filter Database 4.6.1 IGMP Snooping This switch supports IP multicast, you can enable IGMP protocol on web management’ s sw itch settings advanced page, then display the IGMP snooping information in this page, you can view dif ference multicast gr oup ,VID and m ember port here, IP multicast addresses range from 224.
