Goes to relevant section of Help Menu System> Switch Status Page The Switch Status page displays the port settings for both 10/100 Mbps and 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. To configure the ports, go to the Switch> Port Configuration page. • ID: The port number on the switch • Speed: Indicates the communication mode set for the port. The default setting for all ports is Autonegotiation (Auto). The possible entries are Auto-negotiation (Auto), 10 Mbps half duplex (10M Half), 10 Mbps full duplex (10M Full), 100 Mbps half duplex (100M Half), 100 Mbps full duplex (100M Full), or Disable. • Flow Control: Indicates whether Flow Control support is set for on (Enabled) or off (Disabled). The default setting for all ports is enabled. • QOS: Indicate the priority for the port. The default setting for all ports is Normal. Quality of Service (QoS) is a way of managing traffic in a network, by treating different types of traffic with different levels of service priority. Higher priority traffic gets faster treatment during times of switch congestion. • Link Status: Indicates the current speed and duplex for the port. DOWN means no link. The next part of the Switch Status page shows the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) status. A VLAN is a way to electronically separate specified ports on the same switch into separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location. This switch supports 26 VLANs. This page displays the port-based VLAN settings. The default VLAN setting is all ports belong to VLAN 1. To configure user-defined VLAN groups, go to the Switch> VLAN page. Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link (aggregate link). Trunks can be defined for similar port types only. For example, a 10/100 port cannot form a Port Trunk with a gigabit port. For 10/100 ports, trunks can only be formed within the same bank. A bank is a set of eight ports. Up to four trunks can be operating at the same time. This page displays the Trunk status as shown in Figure 2-4. The default Trunk setting is all four groups disabled. To configure user-defined TURNK groups, go to the Switch> Trunking page. If the IEEE802.1Q VLAN is enabled, this page will display the Tagged VLAN status as shown in Figures 25 and 2-6. To know more about Tag VLAN, see Switch> VLAN for details. System> IP Access List Page This page displays an IP access list, which lists switches that are allowed to login this Switch. The switch will only respond to requests from computers with the IP address in the list, so make sure you include your IP address if you are using this feature. This is a powerful way to limit remote access to your switch. The default setting is all host IP addresses allowed. Page 9 of 9
