    2.2 Login Open a web browser and go to the switch’s IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.2.2. Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP address in the range 192.168.2.x (x = 3 –...
  • Page 9: Chapter 3 Switch Configuration

    Chapter 3 Switch Configuration The PoE smart switch software provides rich layer 2 functionality for switches in your networks. This chapter describes how to use the web-based management interface (Web UI) to configure the switch’s features. The left column shows the configuration menu. The top row shows the switch’s current link status.

    3.1 System View device information and status such as firmware version number, Device Name, MAC address, IP Address, Loop Status, PoE Status, etc. Use this screen to configure device name and ipv4 address. LABEL DESCRIPTION Model Name This field displays the model of the Switch. Device Name This field displays the descriptive name of the Switch for identification purposes.
  • Page 11: Device Name Setup

    3.1.1 Device Name Setup Go to System > Device Name Choose a descriptive name for identification purposes. This name consists of up to 20 characters; "a-z","A-Z","0-9" and hyphen and underscore are allowed. 3.1.2 IPv4 Address and Subnet Mask Setup The Switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default in-band IP address is 192.168.2.1.

  • Page 16: Port-Based Vlan

    3.4.2 Port-Based VLAN Go to VLAN > Port-Based VLAN The port-based VLAN feature works as a filter, filtering out traffic destined to non-private domain ports. For each received frame, the forwarding table (FDB) resolves the DA and obtains a forwarding vector (list of ports to which the frame will be forwarded).The FDB then applies the VLAN filter to the forwarding vector, effectively masking out the non-private domain ports.

    3.5 Trunking Go to Trunking > LACP Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.

  • Page 19: Qos

    3.6 QoS GS-5008PL provide Quality of Service (QoS) feature. Two kinds of QoS mechanism are provided for traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch either of them by Web pages. When Quality of Service (QoS) feature is enabled, traffic will be forwarded according to predefined setting of port-based QoS or 802.1p QoS.

    3.7 Broadcast Storm Control GS-5008PL provides a Rate Control feature. When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5008PL provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast packets in your network. Broadcast Storm Control > Broadcast Storm Control...
  • Page 22: Loop Detect/Prevent

    3.8 Loop Detect/Prevent GS-5008PL provides a Loop Protection feature for unmanaged environments. Two kinds of mechanism are available in the GS-5008PL, which are Loop Detection and Loop Prevention. Users can choose to enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention. The Loop Discovery frame uses the system mac as source address. When the port receives the discovery frame and the source mac is the same as system mac, this will be determined as a loop.
  • Page 23: Igmp Snooping

    3.9 IGMP Snooping When the IGMP Snooping is enabled, the GS-5008PL will process IGMP control packets for multicast traffic forwarding. The switch will record information of IGMP v2 packets and maintain database for multicast traffic. Then multicast traffic will be forwarded according to the database.
