IP Information

If more than one IP interface is used, it is important to guarantee that each IP interface is in a specific IP network and has
a specific VLAN ID. It is not possible to configure more than one interface in the same VLAN or in the same IP network
range.

REASON SWITCHES-TM-EN-3
The Key Activation field is used to define the functions allowed for the equipment.
This field must be filled with a code given by Reason which will allow the equipment
to execute the desired functions chapter presents an overview regarding the
common management functions.
On tThis section provides information related to the equipment IP (internet protocol)
which is used to access the Web interface. The IP configuration section allows the
user to define how the Web interface could be accessed. It is allowed to:

Set how switch will manage more than one interface;

Include DNS server;

Define IP address or enable the DHCP function;

Define IP routes to access the equipment.
Reason Switches can operate as a Host or Router. In Host mode, there is no routing
function being executed to the ports configured, i.e., the user must be in the same IP
network as the desired interface port to access the Web Interface. If routing is
required in this situation, it is necessary to use an external router connected to the
network. If there is more than one IP for the Web Interface, the Router mode could be
used. In this mode, the switch will route the requirements for access in different IP
network. Thus, in Router mode, it is possible to access the equipment using more
than one IP. When using the Router function, it is necessary to define manually the IP
Routes, basically divided in Network and Gateway addresses.
If the application requires the use of domain names instead of direct IP address to
access the Web interface, it is possible to define DNS Servers and DNS Proxy for
address resolution. The user may choose which DNS Server to use, a specific DNS
Server whose address is given by the user or to use a DNS server from the selected
DHCP interface. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are allowed to use. When using more than
one DNS Server, the preference of the server used will be given by the Index number
of the DNS Server. A smaller Index number means higher priority
This section provides information related to the NTP protocol, used to synchronize
the switch internal clock.
