Enable Loop Prevention; Manage The Power Saving Mode - NETGEAR GS110 User Manual

8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS110EMX

Enable Loop Prevention

If loop prevention is enabled and the switch detects a loop, the switch blocks one of
the ports that are part of the loop and both LEDs of that port blink at a constant speed.
If two ports are part of a loop, the port with the highest port number is blocked. For
example, if port 1 and port 2 are part of a loop, port 2 is blocked while port 1 continues
to process traffic. The loop status (that is, port blocking and LED blinking) is cleared if
the switch does not detect the loop for a period of about four seconds.
To enable loop prevention:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Loop Prevention.
The Loop Prevention page displays.
6. Select the Enable radio button.
By default, the Disable radio button is selected.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Manage the Power Saving Mode

You can manage the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function, which
combines the EEE 802.3 MAC sublayer with the Ethernet physical layers to support
operation in Low Power Idle (LPI) mode. When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both
sides of the link can disable portions of their functionality and save power during periods
of low link utilization.
