Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.1.2.1 Tag-based VLAN Example Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, and thus increase network performance due to reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling. Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to other VLAN groups too. Figure 2 Shared Server Using VLAN Example 1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch. • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 3 on page 33. • Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web configurator and in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features. See the Command Reference Guide. • FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 15.8 on page 96. • SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 16.3 on page 100. 1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Switch Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more effectively. • Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. • Write down the password and put it in a safe place. 24 ES-315/ES-315-F User's Guide

Tag-based VLAN Example

Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, and thus increase

network performance due to reduced broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any

time by adding, moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.

Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In

the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports

can belong to other VLAN groups too.

Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.

•

Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a

(supported) web browser. See

Chapter 3 on page 33

•

Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web configurator and

in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features. See the Command Reference

Guide.

•

FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See

Section 15.8

on page 96

•

SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See

Section 16.3 on page

1.3

Good Habits for Managing the Switch

Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch

more effectively.

•

Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of

different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

•

Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
