This chapter describes how to use the web-based management interface (Web UI) to configure the switch’s features. For the purposes of this manual of GS-5210PLG, the user interface is separated into fifteen sections, as shown in the following figure: IV-1. System This page shows system current information.
Item Description Model Name Model name of the switch. System name of the switch. This name will also use Device Name as CLI prefix of each line. (“Switch>” or “Switch#”). Firmware Current running firmware image version. Version MAC Address Base MAC address of the switch. IPv4 Address Current system IPv4 address.

Configuration Restore/Backup Restore: Restore the configurations choosing configuration file from PC or NB. Item Description Firmware...
IV-3. Port Configure settings for switch port related features. Item Description Port Port number Port speed capabilities. Auto: Auto speed with all capabilities. 10M Half: Speed with Half-Duplex Speed 10M Full: Speed with Full-Duplex 100M Half: Speed with Half-Duplex 100M Full: Speed with Full-Duplex Down: Displays port is not in use.
IV-4. Long Range Mode This page shows port current status. Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable Long Range Mode. NOTE: Enable long range mode will double the cabling distance but reduce the speed to 10Mbps. IV-5. VLAN This page allows user to configure each port of selected VLANs. PVID=Port VLAN ID, Each port only belong to a PVID exclusively.

Change the Member State Click” Modify” button to change the member state. There are 3 VLAN member states: Click on the box (Default: ) to change each the member state, and click “Apply”. SimpleClick ”Delete” button to delete the targeted VLAN. Note: If the VLAN ID is used as PVID, deleting the VLAN ID is not allowed.
IV-6. Trunking Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if, for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
By default, the Switch uses the MAC SA & DA distribution type. MAC SA & DA: To distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source MAC address and destination MAC address. MAC SA: To distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Monitor Port Select the mirror destination port. Mirrored Port List Choose the destination of the mirrored port. Apply Click Apply to save the changes. IV-8. QoS There are two options of QoS mechanism are provided for traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch to either of them on the Web page.
IV-8-3. IEEE 802.1p QoS: If QoS type is set to 802.1p, the priority is based on the incoming PCP field of the traffic. The current queue for each PCP is configured as below. PCP value Priority Acronym Traffic types 0 (lowest) Background 1(default) Best effort...
Item Description Schedule Method WFQ(Weighted Fair Queue) Strict Priority Weight WFQ weight options: (WFQ Method ONLY) Apply Click Apply to save the changes. IV-9. Broadcast Storm Control A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the network ports, creating traffic and impacting network performance in a negative way. The broadcast storm control feature prevents network ports from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or DLF (Destination Lookup Failure) traffic storm.
IV-10. Rate Limiting When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5210PLG provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast packets in your network. Click on a port number to enter the configuration page as shown below:...
Click the drop down menus to change the Ingress/Egress rate, and click “Apply” to apply the setting. IV-11. Loop Detect/Prevent Users can choose to enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention. Item Description By Default, Loop Detection/Prevention is disabled.
Loop Detection When loop is detected, the Link/ACT LEDs of the ports will raise the warning by blinking. Loop Prevention When loop is detected, the port will be disabled and turned off the Link/ACT LED of the looped port. Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
IV-13. PoE Click on a port number and the options are shown below: Click the drop down menu to select whether to Turn on or Turn off PoE function. Click “Apply” to apply the settings.
IV-14. Password In this page you can change the user name and password. Click the “Confirm” button to save the changes. IV-15. Logout Click the Logout button to exit the Web Management UI of GS-5210PLG.
