Introduction Product Overview This switch is a Management Switch equipped with 16 10/100/1000BaseT(X) UTP/SFP combo ports + 2 Gigabit SFP Open Slots. It is designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic is on the network and the number of users increased continuously. The compact rigid 19” rack-mount size is specifically designed for small to medium workgroups.
Hardware Description This part primarily presents hardware of the web-smart switch, physical dimensions and functional overview would be described. Physical Dimensions/ Weight 44 × 440 × 220 mm (H × W × D) /3kg Front Panel The front Panel of the web-smart Switch consists of 16 10/100/1000BaseT(X) UTP/SFP combo ports + 2 Gigabit SFP Open Slots.
Rear Panel The 3-pronged power plug is placed at the rear panel which is on the right side of the switch shown as below. Hardware Installation Set the switch on a large flat space with a power socket close by. The flat space should be clean, smooth, level and sturdy.
Software Description This part instructs user how to set up and manage the switch through the web user interface. Please follow the description to understand the procedure. At the first, open the web browser, and go to 192.168.2.1 site then the user will see the login screen.
Configuration System System Configuration This page shows system configuration information. User can configure lots of information as below: Figure 2-1 MAC Address: Displays the unique hardware address assigned by manufacturer (default). S/W Version: Displays the switch’s firmware version. ...
Management VLAN: ID of a configured VLAN (1-4094) through which you can manage the switch. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, if the management VLAN is changed, the management station must be attached to a port belonging to this VLAN. ...
Figure 2-2 VLAN A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of the same VLAN will receive traffic from the ones of the same VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
Figure 2-3 Aggregation Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link for increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a switched inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links.
LACP IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and providing load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections. LACP Port Configuration Port: The port number. Enabled: Enables LACP on the associated port. ...

recovery from failed links, enhancing overall network stability and reliability. RSTP System Configuration System Priority: This parameter configures the spanning tree priority globally for this switch. The device with the highest priority becomes the STP root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
Figure 2-6-2 802.1X 802.1X provides port-based authentication, which involves communications between a supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. Port refers to a single point of attachment to the LAN infrastructure. The supplicant is often software on a client device, such as a laptop; the authenticator us a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access point;...
802.1X Configuration Mode: Enables or disables 802.1X globally for all ports on the switch. The 802.1X protocol must be enabled globally for the switch before the port settings are active. (Default: Disabled) RADIUS IP: Address of authentication server. ...
switch adds the host’s port number to the multicast list for that group. Moreover, when the switch hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the host’s port from the table entry. Prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic, and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
Figure 2-9 Quality of Service (QoS) In QoS Mode, select QoS Disabled, 802.1p, or DSCP to configure the related parameters. QoS Configuration Strict: Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting all traffic in the higher priority queues before servicing lower priority queues. ...

Figure 2-10-1 QoS Mode: QoS Disabled When the QoS Mode is set to QoS Disabled, the following table is displayed. QoS Mode: 802.1p Packets are prioritized using the 802.1p field in the VLAN tag. This field is three bits long, representing the values 0 - 7. When the QoS Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table appears, allowing you to map each of the eight 802.1p values to a local priority queue (low, normal, medium or high).
all DSCP values to the high priority egress queue. User can use the Prioritize Traffic drop-down list to quickly set values into the DSCP Configuration table which is a common priority queue. Use Custom if you want to set each value individually. When the QoS Mode is set to DSCP, the DSCP Configuration table is displayed as shown below.

Figure 2-11 Source IP Filter: Mode: There are three types of mode in this drop-down menu. Default is disabled. Disabled: Allow all IP network addresses to login to this switch and manage it. Static: Only the configured IP network address (IP with IP mask) is allowed to login to this switch and manage it.
IP Address: Setting up the IP Address, it can be one IP Address or a LAN. IP Mask: Setting up the IP Subnet Mask related with the IP Address. DHCP Server Allowed: Just tick the check box under the port x to allow the DHCP Server on this port and valid port is Port 1~18.
Figure 2-12 Storm Control Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
ICMP Rate, Learn Frames Rate, Broadcast Rate, Multicast Rate and Flooded unicast Rate. The setting range is 1k~32768k per second. Default of four Rates is No Limit. Figure 2-13 After completing the function’s setting, press <Apply> button to have this function taken effect.

Figure 3-7 Maintenance The switch offers many approaches to reboot your switch, such as: power up, hardware reset and software reset. You can press RESET button in the front panel of your switch to reset the device and to retrieve default settings. After upgrading software, you have to reboot the device to have new configuration take effect.
Factory Default Factory Default provides the function to retrieve default settings and replace current configuration. Except the IP address setting, all settings will be restored to the factory default values when “Factory Default” function is performed. If you want to restore all configurations including the IP address setting to the factory default, please press the “RESET”...
