Configuring ERPS from the Web GUI
Initial Switch Configuration
Use the following steps to configure the ERPS features through the Web.
1. Set the proper static IP for each switch. In this example, switch 1 is 192.168.10.1, switch 2 is
192.168.10.2 and switch 3 is 192.168.10.3.
2. Connect switch 1 to switch 2 and switch 1 to switch3. Do not connect switch 2 to switch 3 to
avoid creating a loop. The web client is connected to switch 1.
3. To avoid conflict with ERPS disable spanning tree on all switches if it is enabled.
4. Enable VLAN tag aware on all three switches. In VLAN configuration page, set port mode to
Hybrid port and port type to C-Port on port 1 and port 2 for each of the three switches, as
screen shot below.
