6.3 Box Information

The Box Information Configuration screen can be found in the Configuration folder under the heading Box Information.This window is used to
configure the Master switch of a switch stack.The Master switch is the switch that will be used to configure the software applications regarding the switch stack.
Allied Telesyn AT-9724TS High-Density Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Description
Select the logout time used for the console interface.This automatically logs the user out after an idle period of
time, as defined. Choose from the following options: 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes or Never.The
default setting is 10 minutes.
This field specifies the baud rate for the serial port on the Switch.This field's menu is set at 115200 and cannot
be changed.
This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding table without being
accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain idle).The default age-out time for the
Switch is 300 seconds.To change this, type in a different value representing the MAC address age-out time in
seconds.The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds.The
default setting is 300 seconds.
To enable system-wide IGMP Snooping capability select Enabled. IGMP snooping is Disabled by default. Enabling
IGMP snooping allows you to specify use of a multicast router only (see below).To configure IGMP Snooping
for individual VLANs, use the IGMP Snooping page under the IGMP Snooping folder.
This field specifies that the Switch should only forward all multicast traffic to a multicast-enabled router, if
enabled. Otherwise, the Switch will forward all multicast traffic to any IP router.The default is Disabled.
Use this pull-down menu to enable or disable GVRP on the Switch.
Telnet configuration is Enabled by default. If you do not want to allow configuration of the system through
Telnet choose Disabled.
The TCP port number.TCP ports are numbered between 1 and 65535.The "well-known" TCP port for the
Telnet protocol is 23.
Web-based management is Enabled by default. If you choose to disable this by selecting Disabled, you will lose
the ability to configure the system through the web interface as soon as these settings are applied.
Remote monitoring (RMON) of the Switch is Enabled or Disabled here.
The algorithm that the Switch uses to balance the load across the ports that make up the port trunk group is
defined by this definition. Choose MAC Source, MAC Destination, MAC Src & Dest, IP Source, IP Destination or IP Src
& Dest (See the Link Aggregation section of this manual).
The Switch's 802.1x function may be enabled by port or by MAC Address; the default is Disabled. This field must
be enabled to view and configure certain windows for 802.1x. More information regarding 802.1x, its functions
and implementation can be found later in this section, under the Port Access Entity folder.
Port-Based 802.1x specifies that ports configured for 802.1x are initialized based on the port number only and
are subject to any authorization parameters configured.
MAC-based Authorization specifies that ports configured for 802.1x are initialized based on the port number
and the MAC address of the computer being authorized and are then subject to any authorization parameters
configured.
The user may use the pull down menu to choose between radius eap and radius pap for the 802.1x
authentication protocol on the Switch.The default setting is radius eap.
This field will enable or disable Head of Line Prevention on the Switch.The default is Enabled.
This field will enable or disable the Jumbo Frame function on the Switch.The default is Disabled.
Enables or disables Syslog State; default is Disabled.
