Add or Change the Name Label for a Port
By default, only ports 1, 2, and 8 contain a port name label:
•
Port 1
. Gaming
•
Port 2
. Media Streaming
•
Port 8
. Uplink
You can change these name labels. Other ports do not contain name labels, but you
can add them. Adding or changing a name label does not change the nature of a port,
that is, it is just a label.
To add or change a name label for a port:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch or to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is
password
. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
The PORT STATUS pane displays on the right or the bottom of the HOME page,
depending on the size of your browser window.
A port that is in use shows as UP. A port that is not in use shows as AVAILABLE.
4. Select the port.
The pane displays detailed information about the port.
5. Click the
EDIT
button.
The EDIT PORT page displays for the selected port.
If the QoS mode on the switch is Port-based (the default setting), the
Priority
menu
displays on the page. If the QoS mode is 802.1P/DSCP, the
Priority
menu does not
display.
6. In the
Port Name
field, type a name label for the port.
The name label can be from 1 to 16 characters.
7. Click the
APPLY
button.
Your settings are saved.
