  • Page 23: Performing Spot Checks

    At frequent intervals, you should visually check the Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning of a possible failure; any problems can then be attended to when there will be least effect on users. 3Com recommends periodically checking the cabling, including the power adapter and it’s connections.
  • Page 24: Status

    STATUS 3.1 System Information This page provides an overview of the configuration of the switch. There are five different tables on this page: • System Identity - Displays general information about the switch. • Address Information - Displays the IP Address configuration of the switch.
  • Page 25: System Identity

    Management VLAN and MAC Address are fixed during manufacture and are provided here for information. 3.1.3 Port Information This table contains one row for each port on the switch. Each row is divided into eight columns as follows: • Port - The front-panel port number.
  • Page 26: Vlan Information

    You can display statistics on network traffic from the ports. These statistics can be used to identify potential problems with the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). All values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot, but can be reset to zero by clicking the CLEAR button.

  • Page 40: Trunks

    • Trunk T1 - T4 - These columns correspond to the 4 trunks that are supported by the switch. Clicking on the radio button in any one of these columns causes the port to become a member of the corresponding trunk. Each trunk can have a maximum of 8 ports, and a minimum of 1 port.
  • Page 41: Working With Trunks

    • APPLY - Updates the switch configuration. No changes are made to the configuration until this button is pressed. • CANCEL - All changes made to the page are discarded and the switch configuration remains unchanged. 6.1.1 Working with Trunks You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate link.

  • Page 43: Speed/Duplex

    When Flow Control is selected on a port (by clicking on the tick-box in the Flow Control column), the switch will attempt to slow incoming traffic down when traffic levels are high. It does this by sending special Pause packets on full-duplex connections or creating back-pressure (deliberately causing collisions) on half-duplex connections.

VLANs are powerful but can be difficult to set up properly. If you are unfamiliar with VLANs please see the Introduction to VLANs.
  • Page 48: Vlan Ids

    • VLAN 1 is a special VLAN; it cannot be deleted and, if there is a possibility that a port could become isolated, the Web User-interface will add the port to VLAN 1. • You can add up to 64 VLANs to the configuration of the switch. Each VLAN must be given a VLAN ID in the range 1-4094.
  • Page 49: Vlan Port Config

    VLANS • If the Packet Type is set to Tagged, the port will drop untagged packets and will only send and receive tagged packets. Tagged packets will be dropped unless the port is a member of the VLAN identified by the VLAN tag in the packet. The PVID has no effect in this case. 7.2 VLAN Port Config This page allows you to configure the VLAN parameters for individual ports.
