Change The Name Label For A Port - Netgate Nighthawk S8000 User Manual

Nighthawk S8000 Gaming & Streaming Advanced 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS808E)

Change the Name Label for a Port

By default, only ports 1, 2, and 8 contain a port name label:
• Port 1. Gaming
• Port 2. Media Streaming
• Port 8. Uplink
You can change these name labels. Other ports do not contain name labels, but you can add them. Changing
or adding a name label does not change the nature of a port, that is, it is just a label.
To change or add a name label for a port:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page opens.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
The PORT STATUS pane displays on the right or the bottom of the Home Page, depending on the size
of your browser page.
A port that is in use shows as UP. A port that is not in use shows as AVAILABLE.
4. Select a port.
The pane displays detailed information about the port.
