Insert the other cable end into the Ethernet port of a computer, printer, network storage, or other network device. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional device you want to connect to the switch. Connecting to the SFP Ports For EX19164 and EX19244, the last 4 RJ-45 ports are shared with the SFP ports.
  • Page 24: Applying Ac Power

    Applying AC Power EX19082, EX19164, and EX19244 switches have an ON/OFF switch that controls power to the switch. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power.
  • Page 25: Preparing To Configure The Switch

    3 Preparing to Configure the Switch Topics: After you install the switch, configure it using the switch’s built-in Web management interface and a Web browser on a PC. 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 26: Connecting The Pc

    Connecting the PC To connect a PC to the switch: 1. Insert one end of a Category 5e or better Ethernet cable into an available 10/100/1000 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 41 VLAN Configuration Path: Configuration > VLANs A Local Area Network (LAN) can be defined as a broadcast domain. Hubs, bridges or switches in the same physical segment or segments connect all end node devices. End nodes can communicate with each other without the need for a router. Routers connect LANs together, routing the traffic to appropriate port.

  • Page 45 Aggregation/Trunking Configuration Path: Configuration > Aggregation Trunking is a feature that increases the bandwidth between network devices by allowing multiple physical links between switches to work as one virtual (or “aggregate”) link. The Trunking page lets you configure the switch ports for use in trunks. To assign specific ports to a trunk, click on the desired ports to set as the same aggregation/trunking group, as shows in the example above.
  • Page 46 IGMP Configuration Path: Configuration > IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. IGMP Snooping, as implied by the name, is a feature that allows a layer 2 switch to “listen in” on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers by processing the layer 3 IGMP packets sent in a multicast network.
  • Page 47 Mirroring Configuration Path: Configuration > Mirroring Port Mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one port (or an entire VLAN) to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. This is commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.
  • Page 48 LLDP Configuration Path: Configuration > LLDP LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) allows the switch to send basic information including System Name/Description and IP address to another LLDP-compatible connected device. In this section, you can set which TLVs (type-length-value) to send and set up parameters.

  • Page 50 QoS Configuration Path: Configuration > Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) provides the switch with a mechanism to queue and service high-priority traffic before low- priority traffic. This switch supports IEEE 802.1p and DSCP for QoS. Click the drop-down menu to select the desired QoS mode. QoS IEEE 802.1p The Class of Service Configuration page lets you use the switch’s Class of Service (CoS) feature to set up consistent traffic prioritization policies.
  • Page 51 Packets are prioritized using the 802.1p field in the VLAN tag. This field is three bits long, representing the values 0 - 7. When the QoS Mode is set to 802.1p, the 802.1p Configuration table appears, allowing you to map each of the eight 802.1p values to a local priority queue (low, normal, medium or high).
  • Page 52 QoS DSCP In DSCP mode, packets are prioritized using the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value. The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a six-bit field that is contained within an IP (TCP or UDP) header. The six bits allow the DSCP field to take any value in the range 0 - 63.
