Device Name
This field displays the name used to identify the Switch on any network.
The device name is a link that you can click to open a
screen where you can change the
name. Enter a descriptive name of up to 14 characters. Also, spaces and the following special
characters listed in the brackets ["`<>^$|&;\/:*?’] are not allowed.
Note: You must enter a descriptive name to identify the Switch.
Firmware
Version
This field displays the version number and date of the firmware the Switch is currently running.
Loop Status
This field displays whether the Switch is in a loop state. It displays
Loop
when the Switch detects a
loop on one of the ports. Otherwise, it displays
Normal
.
System Up Time
This field displays how long the Switch has been running since it last restarted or was turned on.
MAC Address
This field displays the MAC addresses of the Switch.
IP Address
The Switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default IP
address is 192.168.1.3.
This field displays the Switch’s current IPv4 address.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The factory default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
This field displays the Switch’s subnet mask.
Gateway
This field displays the IP address of the default outgoing gateway in dotted decimal notation, for
example 192.168.1.254.
PoE Total Power
(GS1200-5HP v2
/ GS1200-8HP
v2)
This field displays the total power the Switch can provide to the connected PoE-enabled
devices on the
PoE
ports.
PoE Total Power
Left
(GS1200-5HP v2
/ GS1200-8HP
v2)
This field displays the amount of power the Switch can still provide for PoE.
PoE MAX LED
Power
(GS1200-5HP v2
/ GS1200-8HP
v2)
This field displays the point when the
PoE MAX
LED will turn on, indicating the Switch is reaching
its maximum power.
When the total power requested by the PoE-enabled devices exceeds the total PoE power
budget on the Switch, the last PoE-enabled device connected to the Switch will not be
powered up.
For example, the first PoE-enabled device connected to port 1 requires 20 W, the second one
connected to port 2 requires 20 W, and the third one connected to port 3 requires 25 W. In this
case, the total power consumption is 65 W which exceeds the maximum power the Switch can
supply. Therefore, the third PoE-enabled device will not be powered up as it was connected
last.
