If Enabled (default is Disabled), threshold settings of 8,000 ~ 4,096,000 bytes per second can be assigned. Press Apply for the settings to take effect. Figure 26.
Advanced Setting Find that there are four items, including SNMP Setting, Spanning Tree Setting, 802.3x Setting and IGMP Snooping Setting in Advanced menu. SNMP Setting The Web Smart Switch supports SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device.
Page 54
SNMP Setting: Enable or Disable the SNMP function on the Web Smart Switch. Community Setting: In support of SNMP version 1, the Web-Smart Switch accomplishes user authentication by using Community Settings that function as passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community string.
Spanning Tree Setting The Web Smart Switch supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) implementation is designed to prevent network loops that could cause a broadcast storm. When the physical links forming a loop provide redundancy, only a single path will be forwarding frames. If the link fails, STP activates a redundant link automatically.
Page 56
802.11D Spanning Tree: Enable or Disable the 802.11D Spanning function on the Web Smart Switch. Bridge Priority: This value between 0 and 65535 specifies the priority for forwarding packets: the lower the value, the higher the priority. The default is 32768. Bridge Max Age: This value may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate through redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective propagation of the new...
802.1x Setting The IEEE 802.1x provides a security standard for network access control. 802.1x holds a network port disconnected until authentication is completed. Depending on the results, the port is either made available to the user, or the user is denied access to the network. 802.1X uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for passing authentication messages.
Page 58
Authentication Port: Sets primary port for security monitoring. Default is 1812. Key/Confirm Key: Masked password matching the Radius Server Key. TxPeriod: Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the request.
IGMP Snooping Setting With Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping, the Web-Smart Switch can make intelligent multicast forwarding decisions by examining the contents of each frame’s Layer 2 MAC header. IGMP snooping can help reduce cluttered traffic on the LAN. With IGMP snooping enabled globally, the Web-Smart Switch will forward IP multicast traffic only to connections that have group members attached.
Page 60
Query Interval (60-600 sec): The Query Interval is the interval between General Queries sent. By adjusting the Query Interval, the number of IGMP messages can increase or decrease; larger values cause IGMP Queries to be sent less often. Default is 125 seconds. Max Response Time (10-25 sec): The Max Response Time specifies the maximum allowed time before sending a responding report.
Router Timeout (60-600 sec): This is the interval after which a learnt router port entry will be purged. For each router port learnt, a 'RouterPortPurgeTimer' runs for 'RouterPortPurgeInterval'. This timer will be restarted whenever a router control message is received over that port.
