Chapter 1: Configuration Utility

First Time Setup
Overview
The Industrial Ethernet Managed Switch is a configurable device that
facilitates the interconnection of Ethernet devices on an Ethernet network.
This includes computers, operator interfaces, I/O, controllers, RTUs,
PLCs, other switches/hubs or any device that supports the standard IEEE
802.3 protocol.
This switch has all the capabilities of a store and forward Ethernet switch
plus advanced management features such as SNMP, RSTP and port
mirroring. This manual details how to configure the various management
parameters in this easy to use switch.
Introduction
To take full advantage of all the features and resources available from the
switch, it must be configured for your network.
The switch implements Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to provide most of the services
offered by the switch. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol allows managed
switches to communicate with each other to ensure that there exists only
one active route between each pair of network nodes and provides
automatic fail-over to the next available redundant route. A brief
explanation of how RSTP works is given in the Spanning Tree section.
The switch is capable of communicating with other SNMP capable devices
on the network to exchange management information. This statistical/
derived information from the network is saved in the Management
Information Base (MIB) of the switch. The MIB is divided into several
different information storage groups. These groups will be elaborated in
detail in the Management and SNMP information section of this document.
The switch implements Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to
optimize the flow of multicast traffic on your network.
The switch supports both port-based and tag-based Virtual LANs for
flexible integration with VLAN-aware networks with support for VLAN-
unaware devices.
Administrative
Interface Access
A management session with the switch may be connected via the local
Console port or a over network connection to any of the switch’s Ethernet
ports.
Note
The Console port on the front panel connects to a terminal interface
via the RS232/USB port or over the network using telnet or Secure
Shell (SSH).
