switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch: Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch.
Network Application This section provides few samples of network topology in witch the switch is used. In general, the 24 10/100/1000TX plus 4 Mini GBIC Web Managed Switch is designed as a segment switch. That is, with its large address table (8K MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments.
Segment Bridge For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate backbone. In the illustration below, two Ethernet switches with PCs, print server, and local server attached, are both connect to the switch.
Web-Based Management This section introduces the configuration and functionality of the Web-Based management of the certain switch. About Web-based Management On the CPU board of the switch there is an embedded HTML web site residing in flash memory, which offers advanced management features and allow users to manage the switch from anywhere in the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Launch the Internet Explorer Key in “http://” + “IP Address of the 24 10/100/1000TX plus 4 Mini GBIC Web Managed Switch, ” and then press “Enter” Login screen will appear right after Key in the default password as “root” Click Apply , and then configuration is ready to be set up Main Interface System Configuration...

VLAN Setting A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, which would allows user to isolate network traffic so only the members of VLAN will receive traffic from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logically equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.

PVID: Enter the Port VLAN ID Awareness: Enable: Transmit to the PVID group that the same with the packets’ VID. Disable: Transmit to the PVID group that the same with the incoming port’s PVID. Frame Type: Tag: Only allow tagged frame pass the port. All: Allow all type of frames pass through.
VLAN Port Setting interface 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.
that called a hash algorithm. Traffic pattern on the network should be considered carefully before applying it. When a proper hash algorithm is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted across either link within the trunk and load balancing will be seen.
