First Time set up
The Industrial Ethernet Managed Switch is a configurable device that facilitates the intercon-
nection of Ethernet devices on an Ethernet network. This includes computers, operator inter-
faces, 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 man-
agement features such as SNMP, RSTP and port mirroring. This manual details how to config-
ure the various management parameters in this easy to use switch.
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 Manage-
ment 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
failover 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 sev-
eral different information storage groups. These groups will be elaborated in detail in the Man-
agement 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.
There are several administrative interfaces to the switch:
1.
A graphical web interface accessible via the switch's built-in web server, supporting
HTTP.
2.
An SNMP interface can be used to read/write many settings.
