Chapter 2: Installation Site The device should be placed on a table-top. Before installing the unit, verify that the location chosen for installation meets the following site requirements. Requirements Unpacking This section contains information for unpacking the device, and includes the following topics: Package Contents While unpacking the device, ensure that the following items are included:...
Page 31
To unpack the device perform the following: It is recommended to put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the ESD clip to a metal surface to act as ground. An ESD strap is not supplied with the device. Place the container on a clean flat surface and cut all straps securing the container. Open the container.
Chapter 2: Installation Installing the Device The device can be installed on a flat surface or mounted in a rack. This section includes the following topics: Desktop or Shelf When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device should first be attached.

Chapter 3 Stacking This section describes the stacking control management and includes the following topics: “Stacking Overview” on page 36 “Configuring Stacking” on page 40...
Chapter 3: Stacking Stacking Overview Stacking provides multiple switch management through a single point as if all stack members are a single unit. All stack members are accessed through a single IP address through which the stack is managed. The stack can be managed using the following interfaces: Devices support stacking up to six units per stack, or can operate as stand-alone units.
automatically switches to a Stacking Failover topology without any system downtime. An SNMP message is automatically generated, but no stack management action is required. However, the stacking link or stacking member must be repaired to ensure the stacking integrity. After the stacking issues are resolved, the device can be reconnected to the stack without interruption, and the Ring topology is restored.
Page 38
Chapter 3: Stacking manually configured as the Stacking Master, the manually configured member is elected Stacking Master. If two Master-enabled units are present and neither has been manually configured as the Stacking Master, the one with the longer up-time is elected Stacking Master.
Units are reassigned Unit IDs Units toggle between Stacking mode and Stand-alone mode Each time the system reboots, the Startup configuration file in the Master unit is used to configure the stack. If a stack member is removed from the stack and then replaced with a unit with the same Unit ID, the stack member is configured with the original device configuration.
Chapter 3: Stacking Configuring Stacking Configuring stacking is performed during the bootup process. To configure a device as part of a stack, the bootup process must be interrupted straight after the Power On Self Test (POST). To configure the device for stacking, perform the following: Autoboot in 2 seconds -press RETURN or Esc.to abort and enter prom.

The Startup Menu is displayed and contains the following configuration functions: Startup Menu [1] Download Software [2] Erase Flash File [3] Password Recovery Procedure [4] Enter Diagnostic Mode [5] Set Terminal Baud-Rate [6] Stack menu [7] Back Enter your choice or press 'ESC' to exit: From the Startup Menu, press “6”.
Chapter 4 Initial Configuration This chapter contains information for installing the device, and includes the following sections: “Configuration Overview” on page 44 “Configuration” on page 45...
Chapter 4: Initial Configuration Configuration Overview Before assigning a static IP address to the device, obtain the following information from the network administrator: There are two types of configuration: Initial configuration consists of configuration functions with basic security considerations, whereas advanced configuration includes dynamic IP configuration and more advanced security considerations.
Configuration The initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully, includes static IP address and subnet mask configuration, and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote management. If the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured.
Chapter 4: Initial Configuration illustrated in the following example. User Name A user name is used to manage the device remotely, for example through SSH, Telnet, or the Web interface. To gain complete administrative (super-user) control over the device, the highest privilege (15) must be specified.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information on how to troubleshoot the switch in the event that a problem occurs. Device not Check the PWR LED on the front of the switch. If the LED is OFF, indicating that the unit is not receiving power, do the following: operating correctly...
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Be sure the management station has an IP address in the same subnet as the switch’s IP interface to which it is connected. If you are trying to connect to the switch via the IP address for a tagged VLAN group, your management station, and the ports connecting intermediate switches in the network, must be configured with the appropriate tag.
