SMI syntax. The SNMP agent is running on the switch to respond to requests issued by an SNMP manager. The MS888G2 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.
Page 47 Default port number: 162 Trap: In the MS888G2, 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.
Page 48: Dhcp Boot
MS888G2 User Manual 3-4. DHCP Boot The MS888G2 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.
Page 49: Igmp Snooping
The MS888G2 supports 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.
Page 50 Shows the IP addresses of all multicast groups that have been registered on the switch. VLAN ID: Shows the VLAN ID for each multicast group. Member Port: Shows the member ports of each multicast group, a group may contain a single host or multiple hosts. Alloy Computer Products Pty Ltd Copyright ©2006...

Page 52: Vlan (Virtual Local Area Network)
MS888G2 User Manual 3-6. VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) The MS888G2 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.
Page 53 In addition this method enables customers to maintain their desired tag, without concern that other organisations will share the same ID. Service providers avoid potential problems by simply adding a second ID per customer in addition to the shared tag. Default: Disabled Alloy Computer Products Pty Ltd Copyright ©2006...

Page 72: Stp Configuration
The lower the bridge priority value is, the higher the priority it has. Usually, the switch with the highest bridge priority is the root. If you wish the MS888G2 to be the root bridge you will need to ensure that other bridges on your network have a higher bridge priority than that of this switch.
Page 73 MS888G2 User Manual Max. Age: If the MS888G2 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.
Page 74: Stp Port Configuration
