Internet, it is possible to enter the external NTP server details directly, e.g. 213.209.109.45 at http://www.pool.ntp.org/de/ As soon as the switch can access the time and date, the cor rect date is shown in the “System Date” field. barox Kommunikation...
− whereby no guarantee is supplied that these will function properly. The barox Kommunikation product range includes SFPs for multi and single mode fibres with transmission speeds of 100 Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s. Distances of between 550 m and 120 km can be achieved depending on the type of fibre and transmission speed.
Change of User Name and Password barox Kommunikation switches offer the option of generating a number of users with different rights. Up to 15 different levels can be defined. Level 15 is the highest level and is intended to be used by the administrators.
“Shutdown Time” shows how long a port is to remain disabled, should a loop be detected. Possible time entries: 0 – 604,800 s (7 days). If “0” is entered here, the port will remain deactivated until the switch is rebooted. barox Kommunikation...
The switch factory default is set to “Bridge Priority” 32768. If t he switch is to act as master, the Bridge Priority must be set to “0”. All the other values can be left as they are. barox Kommunikation...
In a larger ring with numerous terminal devices and larger data volumes it makes sen se to channel the data flow within the ring to distribute the load evenly across the switches (load - sharing). To achieve this, the path cost needs to be defined. barox Kommunikation...

To avoid this problem, one can configure the individual ports to start up one after the other in the following menu. In the example below, port 1 is activated after 10 seconds and ports 2 and 3 are activated in 20 seconds intervals. barox Kommunikation...
After 3 failed attempts, PoE to port 1 is turned off and turned back on after 15 seconds. This forces the camera to reboot. 60 seconds after the camera has rebooted, the ping m onitoring mechanism will kick in again. barox Kommunikation...
The opposite scenario is uploading a configuration file to the switch. In this case, the path where the file is stored and stored as “running-config”. Subject to a successful operation the file must then be saved as “startup-config –File” as described above. barox Kommunikation...
The master switch can be determined using the IP address in the line “Controller IP”.

Preliminary considerations: The example describes the protection of a port using the physical Ethernet address at the barox switch. The ACL function functions similar to a network firewall. It sequentially verifies policies and conditions, resp., and triggers the profile and related actions depending on the emergence of the condition.

Port 1 is switched off if a terminal with a MAC address deviating from the allowed one is connected. The port overview in the header line and the menu “Access Control > Port Configuration“ in the state “Disabled” provide indications on the connections of non-allowed terminals as shown in the following: barox Kommunikation...
Page 36
Attention must be paid, that the switch checks all policies top - down in each case and the sequence is maintained exactly during the configuration . Please refer to the following example: barox Kommunikation...
E.g.: The total limit is 4 where one unmanaged switch with three further network terminals is connected to port 2 of the barox switch. The configuration must be activated first. Furthermore the respective port is activated, the limit is determined and the action selected, which applies in case of an exceedance.

The selection of a method for each entry is mandatory. The switch cannot be managed in this VLAN and access to the management is prohibited where the respective method should nevertheless be generally switched off. In case of a “wrong configuration” this can be reversed by a restart of the device. barox Kommunikation...
The HTTP option should be disabled where this mode is activated. The switch GUI is called up in the browser using the HTTPS protocol phrase https://192.168.XX(YourManagement IP):1234(YourPort) in the URL field. Following this the browser communication to the management interface is effected using encryption. barox Kommunikation...

Please assure yourself, that the events triggering a trap are configured accordingly. These settings can be configured per terminal device elsewhere in the configuration menu as shown in the following screenshot. Some events − such like e.g. port events − must also be set accordingly in the port configuration. barox Kommunikation...
Reading SNMP Traps Various parameters of the barox switch configurations can be read out and set, resp., using the SNMP protocol. So-called “SNMP/MIB Browser” are basically required for doing so. But also network-/recording-/sniffer software can be utilised to read SNMP transmissions.

Frequently a value used for reading and interpreting, resp., the status/message of the SNMP message is added to the related OIDs (Object Identifier for I nformation Units) of the traps. In this example the last line is marked for illustration purposes. barox Kommunikation...
During the import attention must be paid for selecting the suitable MIB file for the respective switch. The required MIB files can be identified by their prefix “mib”. * Please pay attention to the respective software vendor‘s licencing conditions when using the software! barox Kommunikation...

For generating an enquiry the desired status is selected first. The enquiry is then generated using the operation “Get Next” and clicking “Go”. Upon completion of a successful enquiry the status information is displayed in the results table as shown in the following example: barox Kommunikation...
Control of Switch Functions via SNMP and MIB using the “SET” Operation The “SET” operation via the SNMP protocol can be a further method for controlling barox switches. The basic SNMP configurations at the switch and of the MIB browser are preconditions.
Page 71
The SET operation is opened by a click on “Go“ and the OID entry is complemented by “.2“ (label of port 2). In addition to this the value “1“ (for activation) is entered and confirmed by “OK”. A respective success message is generated upon a successful operation. barox Kommunikation...
This is done either via the “Maintenance/Factory Defaults” menu or by pressing the reset button at the front (for longer than 10 seconds). Checking the “Keep IP setup” box ensures that the switch retains the confi gured IP address. Otherwise, everything is reset to the factory defaults. barox Kommunikation...
