Connecting the PC (page © For the Web browser to access the switch’s Web management interface, the PC and switch must be on the same subnet. -
Page 20: Connecting The Pc
Connecting the PC To connect a PC to the switch: 1. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable into an available 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port on the front panel of the switch. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC you will use to configure the switch. - Page 21 4. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties. 5. In the General tab, click Use the following IP address. 6. In the IP address field, type 192.168.2.10. Tip: Although the last digit in the previous step is 10, in reality, this digit can be any number between 0 and 255, except the number 1 because the address 192.168.2.1 is already being used by the switch.

Launch a Web browser. Note: Your computer does not have to be online to configure your switch. 2. -
Page 27: Inactivity Timeout
Note: First-time logins must set the switch’s DHCP setting (see page 33), default username, and default password (see page 30). Inactivity Timeout For security, the switch has an inactivity timeout feature that closes the current Web management session automatically if the interface is not used for 60 seconds. This feature prevents a session from remaining open to unauthorized users if the operator should walk away from the management PC. -

Range: 60 – 10000 seconds. SNMP enabled Enables or disables the switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Checked capabilities.
- Page 33 Port Configuration Page Path: Configuration > Ports The Port Configuration page lets you enable jumbo frames, configure power saving mode, and view the switch port status and configure port modes. EX17908 Web-Smart Switch User Guide...
- Page 34 Jumbo Frames The switch provides efficient large sequential data transfers by supporting jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes. Compared to standard Ethernet frames that run up to 1500 bytes, using jumbo frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead required to process protocol encapsulation fields, reduce processing time, and increase transfer performance.
- Page 35 Port Settings The port settings appear in the center of the Port Configuration page. Each row of the page corresponds to one port. The following table describes the port settings. Field Description Port Number corresponding to each port on the switch. Link Read-only fields that show whether the switch ports are up or down.
- Page 36 Drop Frames After Excessive Collisions When the Drop frames after excessive collisions check box is checked, the switch drops frames after an excessive number of collisions. By default, this check box is checked. Apply and Refresh Buttons If you change any settings on the Port Configuration page, click Apply to apply the changes. Clicking the Refresh button updates the screen with the latest status.
- Page 37 Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration Path: Configuration > VLANs The switch supports up to 16 VLANs based on the 802.1Q standard. From the Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration page, you can create and delete VLANs, and change the VLAN port membership. The Add a VLAN area lets you add a VLAN. The VLAN Configuration List shows the VLANs that have been configured.
- Page 38 3. By default, all switch ports are members of the VLAN. To exclude a port from this VLAN, uncheck the Member check box for the port. 4. Click Apply. The Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration page reappears, with the VLAN you configured shows below VLAN Configuration List. 5.
- Page 39 Modifying a VLAN There may be times when you need to modify the port membership in a VLAN. To modify a VLAN: 1. Under VLAN Configuration List, click the ID of the VLAN you want to edit. 2. Click Modify. The VLAN Setup page appears, with the settings for the VLAN you selected. 3.
- Page 40 2. Complete the settings in the page, and then click Apply. Field Description Port Number corresponding to each port on the switch. VLAN aware Enabled Enables or disables VLAN awareness for each port. Checked = makes the port VLAN-aware. VLAN aware ports use VLAN-tagged frames to determine the ·...
- Page 41 Field Description Pvid The PVID (Port VLAN ID) is associated with untagged, ingress packets and assigned to untagged frames received on the specified interface. The PVID has no effect on ports whose Packet Type is set to “Tagged Only.” You cannot remove a port from VLAN 1, unless its PVID is changed to a value other than 1. Outgoing packets are tagged unless the packet’s VLAN ID is the same as the PVID.
- Page 42 Aggregation/Trunking Page Path: Configuration > Aggregation The Aggregation/Trunking Configuration page lets you bundle (or aggregate”) multiple links together to act as a single physical link for increased throughput. Bundling links provides load balancing and redundancy of links in a switched inter-network. In reality, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links.
- Page 43 RSTP System Configuration Page Path: Configuration > RSTP For optimal performance, there should be a single active path between two networking devices in an Ethernet network. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) provides redundant paths and prevents network loops that can create excessive traffic and slow down performance.
- Page 44 RSTP System Configuration Field Description Default System Priority Identifies the root bridge. The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as 32768 the root. If the value has been changed, user has to reboot the switch. The value must be multiple of 4096 according to the protocol standard rule Hello Time Interval, in seconds, that determines how often the switch broadcasts hello messages to other...
- Page 45 IGMP Configuration Page Path: Configuration > IGMP The IGMP Configuration page lets you configure the switch’s Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) settings. IGMP allows the switch to “listen in” on IGMP conversations between hosts and routers by processing Layer 3 IGMP packets sent in a multicast network. When IGMP is enabled, the switch analyzes all IGMP packets between hosts connected to the switch and multicast routers in the network.
- Page 46 Field Description Default IGMP Querying Enables or disables IGMP querying. Checked Enabled Checked = port can serve as the Querier, which is responsible for asking hosts if they want to · receive multicast traffic. Unchecked = port cannot serve as the Querier. ·...
- Page 47 Mirroring Configuration Page Path: Configuration > Mirroring The Mirroring Configuration page lets you configure the switch’s port mirroring settings. Port mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one switch port (or an entire VLAN) to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. This feature is commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.
- Page 48 QoS Configuration Page Path: Configuration > Quality of Service The QoS Configuration page lets you configure the switch to deliver better resource reservation control. If you change the settings on this page, click Apply to apply your settings. A Refresh button lets you update the information on the screen.

- Page 50 PoE (Power over Ethernet) Configuration Page Path: Configuration > Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a mechanism for supplying power to network devices over the same cabling used to carry network traffic. PoE allows devices that require power, called Powered Devices (PDs), to receive power and data over existing infrastructure without having to upgrade the infrastructure.
- Page 51 Storm Control Configuration Page Path: Configuration > Storm Control Broadcast storms can occur when a device on your network malfunctions, or if application programs are not well designed or properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your network, performance can be degraded severely or all traffic can come to complete halt.
