Chapter 1 Using the Web-based management interface This chapter describes the requirements for using the Web-based management interface and how to use it as a tool to configure your BPS 2000. This chapter covers: • • • • • • • “New features,” next “Stacking compatibility” on page 30 “Software version 2.
Using the Web-based management interface — — — — — • • QoS Quick Config (refer to Chapter 8) Port naming (refer to Chapter 4) MAC address-based filtering (refer to Chapter 4) Individual IP addresses for each unit in the stack (refer to Chapter 4) Configurable VID for tagged BPDU with multiple spanning tree groups (refer to Chapter 7) — Specifying multiple VLANs in a QoS single filter (refer to Chapters 8 and 9) Introduced with software version 1.
Using the Web-based management interface • 31 Hybrid—This stack has a combination of BPS 2000 switches and BayStack* 450 and/or BayStack 410 switches. It is sometimes referred to as a mixed stack. The stack operational mode for this type of stack is Hybrid Mode. When you work with the BPS 2000 in standalone mode, you should ensure that the stack operational mode shows Pure BPS 2000 Mode, and does not show Hybrid Mode.
Using the Web-based management interface Software version 2.0 compatibility with BayStack 450 switches The BPS 2000 software version 2.0 is compatible with BayStack 450 software version 4.1. When you are using a local console to access the BPS 2000 software version 2.0 features with a Hybrid, or mixed, stack (BPS 2000 and BayStack 450 and 410 switches in the same stack), you must plug your local console into a BPS 2000 unit.
Using the Web-based management interface 33 Also, a mixed, or Hybrid, stack does not support multiple Spanning Tree Groups (STG). You have a single instance of STG when working with a mixed stack. Note: Refer to Using the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 2.0 for complete information on upgrading software for a Pure BPS2000 stack and for a Hybrid stack.
Using the Web-based management interface In some cases, you can use a list of ports, or a port list. In this case, the same unit/ port number notation applies. In addition, you can use hyphens to specify ranges of ports. For example, 1/1-7,2/1-7,2/9,3/1-4,4/12 is a valid unit/port number list.
Using the Web-based management interface 35 Figure 1 Web-based management interface home page Network security does not yet exist the first time you access the Web-based management user interface. As the system administrator, you must create access parameters and passwords to protect the integrity of your network configuration(s).

Configuring application settings 171 Creating and managing virtual LANs (VLANs) A VLAN is a collection of switch ports that make up a single broadcast domain. You can configure a VLAN for a single switch, or for multiple switches. When you create a VLAN, you can control traffic flow and ease the administration of moves, adds, and changes on the network, by eliminating the need to change physical cabling.
Configuring application settings Port-based VLANs A port-based VLAN is a VLAN in which the ports are explicitly configured to be in the VLAN. When you create a port-based VLAN on a switch, you assign a VLAN identification number (VLAN ID) and specify which ports belong to the VLAN. The VLAN ID is used to coordinate VLANs across multiple switches. With software version 1.1 and higher, the automatic PVID feature automatically sets the PVID when you configure a port-based VLAN.
Configuring application settings 173 Configuring VLANs You can create VLANs by assigning switch ports, MAC SA, and protocols as VLAN members and you can designate an existing VLAN to act as the management VLAN. Note: To access the software version 2.0 features in a mixed stack, you must access a BPS 2000 unit.
