CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This switch provides a broad range of features for Layer 2 switching. It includes a management agent that allows you to configure the features listed in this manual. The default configuration can be used for most of the features provided by this switch. However, there are many options that you should configure to maximize the switch’s performance for your particular network environment. Key Features Feature Description Authentication Console, Telnet, Web – User name

INTRODUCTION Description of Software Features IEEE 802.1D Bridge – The switch supports IEEE 802.1D transparent bridging. The address table facilitates data switching by learning addresses, and then filtering or forwarding traffic based on this information. The address table supports up to 6K addresses. Store-and-Forward Switching – The switch copies each frame into its memory before forwarding them to another port. This ensures that all frames are a standard Ethernet size and have been ver

DESCRIPTION OF SOFTWARE FEATURES • Simplify network management for node changes/moves by remotely configuring VLAN membership for any port, rather than having to manually change the network connection. • Provide data security by restricting all traffic to the originating VLAN. Port Mirroring – The switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any port to a monitor port. You can then attach a protocol analyzer or RMON probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify connection integr

INTRODUCTION Multicast Filtering – Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping and Query to manage multicast group registration. System Defaults The following table lists some of the basic system defaults. Function Parameter Default IP Settings IP Address 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0 De

CHAPTER 2 INITIAL CONFIGURATION Connecting to the Switch Configuration Options The switch includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON, and a Web-based interface. A PC may also be connected directly to the switch for configuration and monitoring via the console menu. Note: The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default. To change this address, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-5. The switch’s HTTP Web agent

CONNECTING TO THE SWITCH 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the switch. 3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows: • Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2). • Set the data rate to 9600 baud. • Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. • Set flow control to none. • Set the emulation mode to VT100. Note: Once you have set up the terminal correctly, the console login screen will be displayed. Re
