Menu Overview Menu Overview
All of the configuration of your SMC Smart Switch will be done using the Web,
Management Interface. If you are familiar with the concepts of a Managed Layer 2
switch, you should have no problem navigating the user interface; just open your
Web Browser, enter the address of the switch, login and you are ready to go
(http://192.168.2.10 is the default address and smcadmin is the default password).
The screenshot on the right shows the first page that you will see after logging in.
The page is laid out as follows:
• At the top of the screen is the front-panel image. Ports on the image turn green
to show that the port is connected to a network device. If you allow your mouse
to hover over a port , the port-number will be displayed.
• On the left of the screen is the Menu. Single-clicking on a Menu-choice will
change the page displayed on the right-hand (Main Page) side of the screen.
• The content of the Main Page (on the right) will change when you make
different Menu choices. The Main Page is where switch parameters are
displayed and edited. Not all pages can be edited but, where parameters can
be changed, you will find three buttons at the bottom of the page; H H E E L L P P ,
A A P P P P L L Y Y and C C A A N N C C E E L L . Use the H H E E L L P P button if you are unsure what you need
to do. None of your edits will be saved until you click on the A A P P P P L L Y Y button and
you can use the C C A A N N C C E E L L button to discard all your edits.
If you are new to managed switches, see the User Guide for a detailed
explanation of:
• Configuring ports and diagnosing network problems.
• Creating and configuring Trunks (Link Aggregations) to improve network
resilience and throughput.
• Adding ports to VLANs to improve network security.
• Configuring Quality Of Service to improve the throughput of key
applications(e.g.VoIP)

information).

3. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0. If your PC has a different address from the switch but
is on the same subnet (i.e. the PC and switch both have addresses that
start 192.168.2.x but are different thereafter) you can skip directly
to step 4. Otherwise you will have to set your PC's IP address manually.
If you are unfamiliar with this process, please refer to of the User
Guide.
