Table 12 Get Connected Fields
(continued)
Description
Field
The IPv4 address to be used. The default IP address is 192.168.2.10.
IP Address
The IPv4 subnet address to be used. The default IP subnet address is
255.255.255.0.
Subnet Mask
The IPv4 gateway address to be used. When in doubt, set this to be the same
as the default gateway address used by your PC.
Gateway Address
The burned-in universally administered MAC address of this switch.
MAC Address
Web Parameters
Specify the amount of time in minutes that a connection to the Web interface
remains active, assuming no user activity. To keep the connection active
regardless of user activity, set this value to 0.
Session Timeout
CAUTION:
When a session window is closed without logging out, the server
connection remain open until the session timeout. When the session timeout is
set to 0, closing a session window without logging out keeps the session open
at the server indefinitely. In such cases, you may fail to connect after maximum
sessions are left open indefinitely.
Management Access
Access to the management software is controlled by the assignment of a VLAN
ID. By default, the management VLAN ID is 1. The allowed range is 2 to 4094.
Management VLAN ID
All ports are members of VLAN 1 by default; the administrator may want to
create a different VLAN to assign as the management VLAN and associate it
to a management port. Any change in configured management VLAN ID may
cause disruption in connectivity when the network protocol is configured to be
DHCP; this is because the switch acquires a new IP Address because the
management subnet has changed. To re-connect to the switch, the user must
determine the new IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
Access to the management software also requires the selection of a management
port. Any one physical port can be selected as the management port. The
Management Port
selected management port is auto-configured to be an untagged 'Management
VLAN' member and it is excluded from any untagged VLANs. When the switch
boots with default configuration, any port can be used as management port
and it is displayed as 'None'.
Configure a management port to ensure a port always remains an untagged
member in configured management VLAN to provide management connectivity
in case of an accidental change in VLAN membership.
NOTE:
All ports that are members of VLAN 1 (the management VLAN) will
have management access to the switch even though the management port is
configured as port 1.
SNMP
Enable or disable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). If enabled,
the administrator can view switch data using an SNMPv1/v2c manager. The
switch supports read-only access to a limited set of MIBs.
Enable
Specify a community name or use the default name, public.
Community Name
The switch supports the following MIBs:
•
BRIDGE-MIB (IEEE 802.1Q)
•
LLDP-MIB (IEEE 802.3AB)
•
EtherLike-MIB
•
IF-MIB
•
RFC1213-MIB
•
RMON-MIB (RMON History as in v1)
