II. Installation This chapter describes how to install and connect your Edimax Switch. Read the following topics and perform the procedures in the correct order. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the product. II-1. Mounting the Switch There are two ways to physically set up the switch. Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop, install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch. Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high). II-1-1.
Figure 4 - Desktop Installation II-1-2. Rack Mounting You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide rack. The switch requires 1 Rack Unit (1U) of space, which is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high. For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip over.
1. Align the mounting brackets with the mounting holes on the switch’s side panels and secure the brackets with the screws provided. Figure 5 – Bracket Installation 2. Secure the switch on the equipment rack with the screws provided.
III.Getting Started This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and covers the following topics: Powering on the device Connecting to the network Power over Ethernet (PoE) considerations Starting the web-based configuration utility III-1. Connecting to Power Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring a switch. Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off.
III-2. Connecting to Network To connect the switch to the network: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer 2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to Port 1-8 of the switch. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Connect the switch to end nodes using a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable to connect the switch to end nodes as shown in the illustration below.
If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser. Launching the Configuration Utility To open the web-based configuration utility: 1. Open a Web browser. 2. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the browser (factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1) and then press Enter. 3. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “1234”. 4.
IV. Web-based Switch Configuration The Web Smart switches provide rich functionalities. This chapter describes how to use the web-based management interface (Web UI) to configure the switch’s features. For the purposes of this manual of GS-5208PLG v2, the user interface is separated into fifteen sections, as shown in the following figure: IV-1. System This page shows system current information. It also allows user to edit some system information.
Item Model Name Device Name Firmware Version MAC Address IPv4 Address Subnet Mask Gateway Loop Status PoE Status Description Model name of the switch. System name of the switch. This name will also use as CLI prefix of each line. (“Switch>” or “Switch#”). Current running firmware image version. Base MAC address of the switch. Current system IPv4 address. A 32-bit number that masks an IP address TCP / IP protocol under the gateway Displays whether or not loops exist in the network Display PoE status IV-2.
Item DHCP IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway Item Management Item Configuration Restore/Backup Item Firmware Upgrade Description Enable: Obtain an IP address from DHCP Server automatically. Disable: Use a static IP address Specify the switch static IP address on the static configuration. Specify the switch subnet mask on the static configuration. Specify the gateway on the static configuration. The gateway must be in the same subnet with switch IP address configuration.
Item Port Speed Connection TX(Pkts) RX(Pkts) Clear Counters Description Port number Port speed capabilities. Auto: Auto speed with all capabilities. 10M Half: Speed with 10Mbps 10M Full: Speed with 20Mbps 100M Half: Speed with 100Mbps 100M Full: Speed with 200Mbps Down: Displays port is not in use. Or link speed if it is in use. This field shows the number of packets transmitted on this port. This field shows the number of packets received on this port. Click to reset statistics data.
IV-4. Long Range Mode This page shows port current status. Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable Long Range Mode. NOTE: Enable long range mode will double the cabling distance but reduce the speed to 10Mbps.
IV-5. VLAN This page allows user to configure each port of selected VLANs. Item Apply Port PVID Create New VLAN VLAN ID Non-Member Tag Egress Member Untag Egress Member Modify Delete Description Click “Apply” to save the values. Designated port number. Enter a Port VLAN ID for each port. Click “Create New VLAN” to enter new VLAN settings. Virtual LAN ID. Port is not a member of a VLAN. Tag outgoing packets of a port which is a member of the VLAN.
IV-6. Trunking Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if, for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. The Switch supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk groups.
Item LACP Global State Link Aggregation Algorithm Link Group Activity Link Group Member Apply Description Select “Enable “or “Disable” to enable or disable Link Aggregation Control Protocol. Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses the MAC SA & DA distribution type.
Item Enable Mirror Mirror Direction Monitor Port Mirrored Port List Apply Description Enable/disable port mirroring. Select the mirror direction: Both( Ingress and Egress) Ingress Egress Select the mirror destination port. Choose the destination of the mirrored port. Click Apply to save the changes. IV-8. QoS There are two options of QoS mechanism are provided for traffic forwarding: port-based QoS and 802.1p QoS. Users can switch to either of them on the Web page.
IV-8-2. Queue0 Queue1 Queue2 Queue3 Port-Based QoS: Low Priority Normal Priority Medium Priority High Priority Item Schedule Method Description WFQ(Weighted Fair Queue) Strict Priority WFQ weight options: Weight (WFQ Method ONLY) Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
IV-8-3. IEEE 802.1p QoS: If QoS type is set to 802.1p, the priority is based on the incoming PCP field of the traffic. The current queue for each PCP is configured as below.
Item Schedule Method Weight (WFQ Method ONLY) Apply Description WFQ(Weighted Fair Queue) Strict Priority WFQ weight options: Click Apply to save the changes. IV-9. Broadcast Storm Control A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the network ports, creating traffic and impacting network performance in a negative way. The broadcast storm control feature prevents network ports from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or DLF (Destination Lookup Failure) traffic storm.
IV-10. Rate Limiting When the Rate Control feature is enabled, GS-5208PLG V2 provides Ingress/Egress traffic Rate Control per port for broadcast traffic type. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast packets in your network.
Click the drop down menus to change the Ingress/Egress rate, and click “Apply” to apply the setting. IV-11. Loop Detect/Prevent GS-5208PLG V2 provides a Loop Protection feature for unmanaged environments. There are two kinds of mechanism are available, which are Loop Detection and Loop Prevention. Users can choose to enable Loop Detection or Loop Prevention. The Loop Discovery frame uses the system MAC as source address.
On the Loop Detect/Prevent page, select either “Off”, “Loop Detection” or “Loop Prevention” and click “Apply” to apply the settings. IV-12. IGMP Snooping When the IGMP Snooping is enabled, the GS-5208PLG V2 will process IGMP control packets for multicast traffic forwarding. The switch will record information of IGMP v2 packets and maintain database for multicast traffic. Multicast traffic will then be forwarded according to the database.
NOTE: When “Enable IGMP Snooping” is selected, IGMP Static Router Port can be selected using the drop down menu. Click “Apply” to apply the settings.
IV-13. PoE Click on a port number and the options are shown below: Click the drop down menu to select whether to turn on or off PoE function. Click “Apply” to apply the settings.
IV-14. Password In this page you can change the user name and password. Click the “Confirm” button to save the changes. IV-15. Logout Click the virtual Logout button to exit the Web UI of GS-5208PLG V2.
