  • Page 12: Browser Restrictions

    Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility. If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled. Browser Restrictions • If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address. • If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser. Launching the Configuration Utility To open the web-based configuration utility: Open a Web browser. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the Browser (the factory default IP address is 192.168.169.1) and then press Enter. Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP address in the range 192.168.169.x (x= 2 – 254). Modify the IP address of your computer as need. The login window displays.
  • Page 13: Logging In

    Logging In To log in to the device configuration utility: Enter the default user ID (admin) and the default password ( admin). If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (admin) and the default password (admin) it is recommended that you change your password immediately. See Password for additional information. When the login attempt is successful, the System Status window displays. If you entered an incorrect username or password, the “Login” page remains displayed on the window. If you are having problems logging in, please see the “Launching the Configuration Utility” section in the User Manual for additional information.

  • Page 29: Igmp Snooping

    IGMP Snooping Use this section to create an IGMP Snooping Profile. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is a feature that allows a switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently on the switch. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly affecting network performance. To view the IGMP Snooping menu, navigate to IGMP Snooping. Item Description Blocking Unknown Multicast Block unknown multicast packets. Enable IGMP Enable/disable IGMP snooping. Snooping Select a static port on which to snoop, either No Static Router Port, or one of IGMP Static Router Port ports 1-5. Apply Click Apply to save the values and update the screen.
