Desktop Installation Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow for air circulation and the attachment of cables and power cord. Attaching Rubber Feet A. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is grease and dust free. B. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet. C. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch.
3. Network Configuration This section explains how to configure console management using the console management program. Console management involves the administration of the switch via a direct connection to the RS-232 console port, which has a female DB-9 connector. From the main menu of the console program, user has access to manage the functions of the switch. Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port Figure 3-1.
Note: Console program is case sensitive. After you have finished setting parameters, press the “Enter” Key and the Main Menu of console management appears. Figure 3-3. The Main Menu of Console Management Assigning an IP Address to the switch Once you have logged into the MIL-SM801XX, you need to assign an IP address to the switch’s Ethernet interface so that you can connect to the switch using a Web Browser. 1.
3. You will now find that the default IP address has been changed to IP address 192.168.12.40. Reboot by typing “reboot” or “H”. 4. By similar methods, you can configure Subnet Mask (default subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0), Broadcast (default Broadcast is 255.255.255.255), and Gateway (default Gateway is 192.168.1.6). The gateway address is the router that can forward packets to the other IP networks. Figure 3-4. Changing IP address by typing in “ ip-address 199.86.12.40 ” after the prompt .
Figure 4-5. Execute reboot Figure 3-6. After pressing Enter twice, you will find the old IP address has changed into new IP address. Note: After any setting changes, reboot. Use the ping command for verification.
Secured IP Secured IP can guard against unauthorized users accessing the switch management. Network security for IP access allows only one IP address or up to 3 IP addresses to access the web based management server and telnet server. The Default Secured IP is 0.0.0.0 for all three secured IP, which means that no network security on IP was set from original factory setting. Now, if you want to set Secured IP, for example, you can type in “securedip 1 199.86.12.46” after the prompt press Enter twice.
Figure 3-8. After pressing Enter twice, the first secured IP address is set to 199.86.12.46. Resetting Factory Defaults You can reset the switch back to factory default settings by using the loaddefault command. Simply type L 2 at the MIL>_ prompt and press enter. Note: If you do not type L 2, and only type L, the following option appears: Usage: loaddefault (0:1:2). The only correct option is L 2 for the MIL-SM801XX.
4. Web-Based Management This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management for the MIL-SM801XX series. The MIL-SM801XX series provides an embedded HTML website residing in flash memory. It offers management features and allows users to manage the MILSM801XX from anywhere on the network through a standard Web Browser. System Login 1. Start browser. 2.

VLANS A LAN was originally defined as a network of computers located within the same area.. Today, LANs are defined as a single broadcast domain. This means that if a user broadcasts information on his/her LAN, every user on the LAN will receive the broadcast. A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroups to be defined on the basis of their logical location instead of their physical location.
Trunking Trunking allows you to create additional bandwidth by aggregating several ports into one single group. Figure 5-6. The Trunking Page From the Trunking page you can click the drop-down menu and select your desired trunk group. You have a choice between a 2-port trunk (ports 1&2) or 4-port trunk (ports 1, 2, 3, & 4). Remember to click Apply after making your selection. Note: Make sure Trunking ports are in the same VLAN group.
Agent Config After clicking the Agent Configuration page, the screen displays the MILSM801XX’s current configuration. Refer to the following Agent Configuration page for your own settings. Figure 5-7.
Boot Methods There are three modes that you can boot your switch in --FLASH Boot – Boots from a memory chip that software images can be stored, booted, and rewritten as necessary. Flash memory resides in a chip and holds its content without power. BootP - Boots your system from a BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) server. BootP is a TCP/IP protocol used by a diskless workstation or network computer to obtain its IP address and other network information such as server address and default gateway.
