Chapter 4 WEB MANAGEMENT MGSW-004 support web management therefore in this section will introduce the configuration and functions of the web-based management. Before to use web management, please setup the IP Address with the console port (RS-232) and use this IP address to configure MGSW-004 through the web interface or modify your PC’s IP domain to the same with MGSW-004 then use the default IP address to remote configure MGSW-004 through the Web interface. 4.
4.2 Home The homepage is display the configuration of the MGSW-004 System Name An administratively-assigned name of the managed unit System Location The physical location of this managed unit System Contact The contact person for this managed unit.
4.5 Statistics (Port Counters) and Statistics 2 (RMON Statistics) The Statistic page displays the detailed information about each port. You can compare and evaluate throughput or other port parameters. All screen data is updated automatically .You can clear 8 counters or packet seize counters of some ports by select the corresponding "Clear" check boxes then press "Clear" button. To clear all counters of all ports, press the "Select All" button then "Clear" button.
4.6 VLAN A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a group of switch ports designated by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. This feature allows workgroup to be defined on the basis of their logical location instead of their physical location, and does not require recalling The default VLAN is that all ports belong to VLAN 1. This switch support up to 4095 port-based 802.1Q-compatible virtual LANs (VLANs). In the VLAN management window, you will see 2 VLANs in the page.
You can add, edit and remove port members of each trunk and then press "Apply" button after you have finished configuring the trunks you need. (Note: Make sure trunking ports are in the same VLAN group. ) 4.8 STP Spanning tree is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path must exist between two stations.
If you want to participate in spanning tree, have the "Enable Spanning Tree Protocol" checkbox selected. The Current Spanning Tree Root describes the unique root switch information for the instance of spanning tree.
there is no MAC address count restriction for that port. Ø Type the number in the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count “ edit for that port. The upper bound of this number is the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count per port “ Ø Press the “ Press “ button Ø The “ Used Count “ will tell you how many MAC address residing in the corresponding port now. Note: A trunked port is not allowed to enable the port security option. 4.10 Priority – 802.1p There are two priority queues (high and low) on each port.
IF this function of a port is enabled, then the most significant 6 bits of the TOS (these 6 bits are also known as the DiffServ Code Point "DSCP" field, value from 0 to 63) are used to assign a priority to the packet received from this port. Please check the corresponding mapping checkbox to assign a high priority or uncheck that to assign a low priority. 4.12 IGMP IGMP is used in multicast communication network applications where one or more servers, for example, video servers, generate multicast traffic.
4.13 Static Address In this function, you can lock a certain MAC address (associated with a host) to a certain port. Once a certain MAC address is locked to a certain port, this MAC address will not receive any packets if it is moved to another port Static addresses are manually entered into the Static Address Table Ø Enter the MAC address in the MAC Address field (ex.
4.15 Port Mirror If you want to monitor all receive and transmit packets of one port. You can do the following: Ø Choose the monitored port in "Mirror Source Port" choice box in the corresponding mirror source module. Only one port can be monitored in one module at the same time Ø Choose the corresponding target module, port in "Mirror Target Module" and "Mirror Target Port" choice box. Ø Click the corresponding "Enabled" check box.
4.16 IP Config You can change the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of the managed node. (You can also do that from RS232 console).
4.17 SNMP You can manage the Switch using third-party’s SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent. Access rights to the SNMP agent are controlled by community strings. To set system name, system location and system contact, you can type the desired text string in the corresponding edit box. 4.18 Save & Reboot You can save current settings by click the "Current Settings" checkbox then press the "Apply" button next to the checkbox.
4.19 Upgrade You can on-line upgrade the firmware of the managed unit. The following steps is needed to upgrade the firmware: Ø Use HTTP or FTP to download the new version firmware from our website. Ø Enter password in the "Password" edit box. Ø Enter the file downloaded in the "File Path" edit box. (You can use "Browse" button to select the file.) Ø Press the "Upgrade" button.
