Section I: Basic Operations
Chapter 1 Basic Switch Parameters This chapter contains the following sections: Section I: Basic Operations “Configuring the Switch’s Name, Location, and Contact” on page 28 “Changing the Manager and Operator Passwords” on page 30 “Setting the System Date and Time” on page 32 “Rebooting a Switch” on page 35 “Pinging a Remote System” on page 36 “Returning the AT-S63 Management Software to the Factory Default Values” on page 37 “Displaying the IP Address of the Local Interface”
Chapter 1: Basic Switch Parameters Configuring the Switch’s Name, Location, and Contact This procedure assigns a name to the switch. The name appears at the top of the web browser windows. Names can help you identify your switches when you manage them and avoid performing a configuration procedure on the wrong switch. This procedure also assigns the name of the administrator responsible for maintaining the unit and the location of the switch.
AT-S63 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide Note This procedure describes the System Name, Administrator, and Comments parameters in the Administration section of the tab. The parameters in the IP Configuration section are described in “Displaying the IP Address of the Local Interface” on page 39. The Passwords section is described in “Changing the Manager and Operator Passwords” on page 30.
Chapter 1: Basic Switch Parameters Changing the Manager and Operator Passwords There are two levels of management access on the AT-9400 Switch: manager and operator. When you log in as a manager, you can view and configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot change any values. You log in as a manager or an operator by entering the appropriate username and password when you start an AT-S63 management session.
AT-S63 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide Caution Do not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) and exclamation points (!), in a password if you are managing the switch from a web browser.

Chapter 19 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol This chapter explains how to configure multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) parameters on the AT-9400 Switch using a web browser management session.
Chapter 19: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Enabling MSTP The AT-9400 Switch can support the three spanning tree protocols STP, RSTP, and MSTP. However, only one spanning tree protocol can be active on the switch at a time. So before you can enable a spanning tree protocol, you must first select it as the active spanning tree protocol. After you select it, you can then enable or disable it.
AT-S63 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide 4. To change the active spanning tree protocol on the switch, click STP, RSTP, or MSTP in the Active Protocol Version section of the tab. The default is RSTP. Note Only one spanning tree protocol can be active on the switch at a time. 5. To enable or disable the active spanning tree protocol on the switch, click the Enable Spanning Tree check box. A check indicates that the spanning tree is enabled while no check indicates that spanning tree is disabled.
Chapter 19: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Configuring MSTP This section contains the following procedures: “Configuring MSTP Parameters,” next “Configuring the CIST Priority” on page 299 “Managing MSTIs” on page 300 “Configuring MSTP Port Parameters” on page 304 Note MSTP must be selected as the active spanning tree protocol on the switch before you can configure it.

The graphic image of the switch is described in “Configuring MSTP Port Parameters” on page 304.
Chapter 19: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Configure the following parameters as necessary. Force Version This selection determines whether the bridge operates with MSTP or in an STP-compatible mode. If you select MSTP, the bridge operates all ports in MSTP, except those ports that receive STP or RSTP BPDU packets. If you select Force STP Compatible, the bridge uses its MSTP parameter settings, but sends only STP BPDU packets from the ports. The default is MSTP.
AT-S63 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide Bridge Max Hops MSTP regions use this parameter to discard BPDUs. The Max Hop counter in a BPDU is decremented every time the BPDU crosses an MSTP region boundary. After the counter reaches zero, the BPDU is deleted. Revision Level The revision level of an MSTP region. This is an arbitrary number that you assign to a region. The revision level must be the same on all bridges in a region. Different regions can have the same revision level without conflict.
