EdgeSwitch User Guide Chapter 3: Dashboard Chapter 3: Dashboard Active Ports Displays the percentage of usage (all ports combined). The Dashboard screen displays a summary of the link status information, current values of the basic configuration settings, network settings and information, and traffic statistics. You can also configure port settings. Total Throughput Displays the throughput as related to the currently active ports and their link status information.
Chapter 3: Dashboard EdgeSwitch User Guide Device Status Port Summary (Device Name) Displays the customizable name or identifier of the device. The Device Name (also known as hostname) is displayed in registration screens and discovery tools. (checkbox) Select multiple ports for group configuration. (Uptime) This is the total time the device has been running since the latest reboot (when the device was powered up) or software upgrade. The time is displayed in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
EdgeSwitch User Guide Mode (Status) Active mode is displayed in green. For RJ45 ports, Auto is enabled by default, and it applies only to speed and duplex, not PoE. For SFP/SFP+ ports, Autodetect is enabled by default. The EdgeSwitch automatically detects the speed of the inserted SFP/SFP+ module. Chapter 3: Dashboard Create or Edit a LAG To edit or create a new LAG, configure these options: The EdgeSwitch automatically negotiates transmission parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its counterpart.
Chapter 3: Dashboard DELETE icon to remove an • Delete Click the Delete existing LAG. Then click OK to confirm. • Save Click to apply changes. EdgeSwitch User Guide • STP Enabled by default. Ethernet networks cannot have multiple active paths between switches (excluding aggregation such as LAG), as this causes a switching loop: broadcast and multicast traffic is amplified and repeated in a never-ending loop, disrupting the network.
EdgeSwitch User Guide Chapter 3: Dashboard Ping Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of the specific connection to the remote host using the Ping tool. The Ping tool works by sending ICMP echo request packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo response replies. If the specified number of replies is not received, the tool reboots the device. -- IP Address to Ping Specify the IP address of the target host to be monitored by Ping Watchdog. • Save Click to apply changes.

Chapter 5: System Settings Management VLAN ID Specify the ID of the management VLAN. This VLAN must be configured in the list of VLANs; otherwise you may lose access. The default is 1. IPv4 Network Mode The EdgeSwitch can use a static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP server. • DHCP The local DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address, netmask, gateway IP address, and DNS address to the EdgeSwitch.
EdgeSwitch User Guide -- IP Address Specify the IPv6 address of the EdgeSwitch. This IP will be used for device management purposes. The default is an EUI-64 link‑local address derived from its MAC address. -- Gateway IP Typically, this is the IPv6 address of the host router, which provides the point of connection to the internet. This can be a DSL modem, cable modem, or WISP gateway router. The EdgeSwitch directs packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network.
