274 4 Networking Switch Modules Web-based Management Utility The firmware for the Ethernet switch module resides on a chip on the PCB. The switch has internal flash memory in two areas to hold two firmware images. The flash area used for the normal firmware image is referred to as the normal area. The other flash area, referred to as the fallback area, is used to store the firmware image for fallback purpose in case of a failure to boot from the normal area. Overview The Acer switch utility for the 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules provides a web-based interface for managing layer2 and layer3 switching at wire speed for constructing a switched/routed network. This interface provides both a bridging functionality and advanced features such as link aggregation, Dynamic VLAN/Dynamic Multicast, IGMP Snooping and Network Access Control. This web-based interface also comes with several Layer3 features as well (such as wire speed routing, Differentiated services, multicast routing and so on). The Acer Switch firmware is implemented using open sources from OpenSSL, OpenSSH and other open source communities and is configured using web browsers such as Internet Explorer. The utility starts with a default IP address, which is also the management IP address. This IP address is essentially provided for remote management of this switch. For managing the switch through web browsers, type in the default IP address in your browser's web address in order to start accessing the switch. For example, if the management IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1, the switch can be accessed through the Web browser by typing http:// 192.168.1.1 in the address space of the web browser. The default management IP address for Acer Switch products is 192.168.100.102. This default IP address can be changed in the SYSTEM SETTINGS page in the System Management section. The switch can be managed with the default IP through CMM Ethernet connections, since the internal management Ethernet ports are connected with CMM Ethernet ports internally. If you prefer to manage the switch through front panel ports or through any other switching ports, then you can assign the desired management IP address to VLAN 1. Alternatively, you can create any VLAN and manage

Web-based Management Utility

The firmware for the Ethernet switch module resides on a chip on the

PCB.

The switch has internal flash memory in two areas to hold two

firmware images. The flash area used for the normal firmware image is

referred to as the

normal

area. The other flash area, referred to as the

fallback

area, is used to store the firmware image for fallback purpose

in case of a failure to boot from the normal area.

Overview

The Acer switch utility for the 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules

provides a web-based interface for managing layer2 and layer3

switching at wire speed for constructing a switched/routed network.

This interface provides both a bridging functionality and advanced

features such as link aggregation, Dynamic VLAN/Dynamic Multicast,

IGMP Snooping and Network Access Control. This web-based interface

also comes with several Layer3 features as well (such as wire speed

routing, Differentiated services, multicast routing and so on).

The Acer Switch firmware is implemented using open sources from

OpenSSL, OpenSSH and other open source communities and is

configured using web browsers such as Internet Explorer.

The utility starts with a default IP address, which is also the

management IP address. This IP address is essentially provided for

remote management of this switch. For managing the switch through

web browsers, type in the default IP address in your browser’s web

address in order to start accessing the switch.

For example, if the management IP address of the switch is

192.168.1.1

the switch can be accessed through the Web browser by typing

http://

192.168.1.1

in the address space of the web browser.

The default management IP address for Acer Switch products is

192.168.100.102

. This default IP address can be changed in the S

The switch can be managed with the default IP through CMM Ethernet

connections, since the internal management Ethernet ports are

connected with CMM Ethernet ports internally. If you prefer to

manage the switch through front panel ports or through any other

switching ports, then you can assign the desired management IP

address to VLAN 1. Alternatively, you can create any VLAN and manage
