The POEGEM12T2SFP supports either a static IP address allocated via the system administrator or can be assigned an IP address dynamically from a DHCP server on your network. The IP address is used to gain access to the management functionality of the switch.
3-1-3. Time Configuration The POEGEM12T2SFP provides two methods to keep the switch’s time settings correct, they are via manual input and via a Time Server on the internet. If you are manually entering your time settings enter the “Year”, “Month”, “Day, “Hour”, “Minute” and “Seconds” into the space provided.
The account configuration is used to create or modify guest and administrator accounts. The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to create up to 5 guest accounts, accounts can only be created by the administrator. When a Guest user logs into the switch they will not be able to modify any parameters, they just have read only rights to the switch.
The Virtual Stack function allows multiple POEGEM12T2SFP switches to be managed from a single IP Address. One POEGEM12T2SFP switch will be configured as a Master and all other POEGEM12T2SFP switches will be configured as Slaves. You can then apply a group name to the virtual stack, only one master switch can exist within the same group name.

For instance if port 1 is set to High priority and port 2 is set to Low priority and both ports are transmitting data at 1G to port 5, packets transmitted from port 2 will be dropped if there is congestion in the switch.
Page 53
VLAN Tag Priority Function Description: The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to configure priority levels based on a priority field found inside the VLAN Tag. This priority field contains 3 bits which allow a total of 8 priority levels to be configured: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111.
Page 54
IP TOS Classification Function Description: The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to configure priority levels based on the TOS field of the IP Header. There are three bits in the TOS field which can be arranged into 8 different traffic classes: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111.
Page 55
IP TCP/UDP Port Classification Function Description: The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to configure QoS rules based on Layer 4 networking protocols such as HTTP, FTP etc. The switch provides built in rules to down prioritise, or prioritise different types of services. If the built in rules do not suit your particular application, custom services can also be created based on a particular TCP/UDP port number.
Page 58
IP Diffserve Classification: Function Description: The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to configure priority levels based on the 6-bit field in the DSCP of the IP packet. The 6-bit field allows a total of 64 different traffic classes in which you can set a High or a Low priority.
SMI syntax. The SNMP agent is running on the switch to respond to requests issued by an SNMP manager. The POEGEM12T2SFP allows the administrator to turn the SNMP agent on or off. If SNMP is set to “Enable”, the SNMP agent will be started. All supported MIB OIDs, including RMON MIB, can be accessed via an SNMP manager.

Default port number: 162 Trap: In the POEGEM12T2SFP, there are six trap hosts supported. Each of them has its own community name and IP address; which are user-definable. To configure a Trap host you will need a network management System to receive the Trap messages from the switch.
The POEGEM12T2SFP support all functions of IGMP Snooping including query, report and leave. IGMP Snooping is used by the switch to learn who belongs to a multicast group and also update the multicast table within the switch with new multicast members.
3-9. Max. Packet Length The POEGEM12T2SFP supports Jumbo frames up to 9k in size to allow transmission of large amounts of data in a network environment. When using Jumbo Frames you will need to ensure that all connecting devices support Jumbo frames otherwise devices that do not support this will drop the packet because of it unusual size.
3-10. DHCP Boot The POEGEM12T2SFP supports DHCP Broadcast Suppression allowing the switch to suppress broadcast traffic. If a network loses power and then regains power and all computers on the network boot at the same time, a lot of broadcast traffic is generated especially if all nodes on your network are using DHCP.
3-11. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) The POEGEM12T2SFP supports both 802.1q Tagged based VLAN’s and Port-based VLAN’s. VLAN’s are used to logically separate your network into smaller more defined networks. VLAN’s help to reduce broadcast traffic across your network as all broadcast traffic will be limited to the VLAN group in which it belongs.
I am alive. When the POEGEM12T2SFP is the root bridge of the network, for example all other bridges will use the hello time assigned by this switch to communicate with each other.
Page 89
Max. Age: If the POEGEM12T2SFP is the root bridge, the whole network will apply this figure as their maximum age time. When a switch receives a BPDU message originating from the root bridge and if the message age exceeds the maximum age of the bridge, the bridge will treat the root bridge as malfunctioned and issue a Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDU to all other bridges.
Using Static trunking at both ends of the link is highly recommended. The POEGEM12T2SFP allow up to 8 LACP trunk groups and another additional 8 trunk groups for static trunking. Only 8 groups can be used at one time. Each trunk group can contain a maximum of 12 member ports.
