incoming packets to VLANs according to their ingress port. The 802.1Q-based
VLAN adds a tag to the header of the packet to classify the VLANs.
Trunk (Aggregation)
The Trunk function integrates several ports to enlarge the bandwidth, which
helps boost the backbone connectivity. The switch allows a maximum of eight
(16-port) or twelve (24-port) groups, with eight members for each group.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS classifies packets based on precedence, which means the packets are
transmitted and received by their priorities. This helps high-bandwidth-demanded
applications such as VoIP to get an unobstructed connection.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
This device is SNMP-supported, allowing it to be monitored or inspected by
an SNMP management station.
4. SWITCH MANAGEMENT
Advanced management options can be accessed through a Telnet session/
Internet browser over the network (in-band) or through a console port.

Authentication
To access the Web-based management interface, configure the management
station with an IP address and subnet mask compatible to the switch, which
has the following factory default settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254
1. Activate your Web browser and enter the above IP address in the Address
field.
2. Key in the username and password to authenticate. The factory default
value for both username and password is “admin.” Click “Apply.”
After authentication, the System Configuration page (shown on next page)
displays as the homepage. The complete Configuration menu — plus
Monitoring and Maintenance links — appears on the left side of each page
for access to all management functions.
