4.7 IP gateway address
An IP gateway address can be set on the R/T200 switch by entering the IP address of your
gateway in the “IP gateway address” field in the “Selected device” dialog. Your new IP
gateway address will take effect when you have pressed the ‘Set’ button and then restarted
the switch by pressing the ‘Reset’ button.
A correct gateway address will ensure that the R/T200 switch CPU can be accessed from
another IP subnet via the specified gateway. This means ping, SNMP and other IP based
applications on the R/T200 will work through the gateway.
Note: the gateway settings have no impact on the packet forwarding from one switch port to
another switch port.
4.8 Port Link Alarms
Using the Configuration software, any or all, of the ports can be configured to highlight a link
failure.
Simply tick the Port that link failure is required on. When the port has been highlighted press
the ‘Set’ button and then the ‘Reset’ button to restart the Switch with port link alarms
enabled/disabled.
Note: Port numbers 7 & 8 are always configured to highlight link failure in case FRNT0
is enabled.
4.9 Enabling Push buttons
The front panel push buttons on the switch can be enabled/disabled in the IP configuration
tool. The push buttons are by default enabled (an operator at the switch installation can
change the speed, duplex connectivity and auto-negotiation settings per port).
To enable/disable push buttons tick the “Enable front panel push buttons” and press the ‘Set’
button. Press the ‘Reset’ button to restart the Switch with push buttons enabled/disabled.
4.10 Port Configuration and Port Mirroring
Port configuration is available in the “Port configuration” dialog window; see Figure 15, which
is found by clicking the “port config” button.
The port types, i.e. fiber (Fx) or copper (Tx) and whether link is found on the ports are shown
on the Link row, while the auto-negotiation [enable/disable]], duplex connectivity [HDX, FDX]
and speed [10, 100] Mbps are shown on the next rows. The duplex connectivity and speed
settings for a given port are editable if the user un-tick the auto-neg tick box for the port. The
auto-negotiation, duplex connectivity and speed settings for an Fx port are not editable.
The user can also enable port mirroring. This means that all packets sent and received on a
given port, the sniff port, is mirrored to another port, the mirror port. Only one sniff port and
one mirror port can be defined. Ethereal or similar network capture programs can be used for
