4 Networking Switch Modules 274
Web-based Management Utility
The firmware for the Ethernet switch module resides on a chip on the
PCB.
The switch has internal flash memory in two areas to hold two
firmware images. The flash area used for the normal firmware image is
referred to as the
normal
area. The other flash area, referred to as the
fallback
area, is used to store the firmware image for fallback purpose
in case of a failure to boot from the normal area.
Overview
The Acer switch utility for the 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules
provides a web-based interface for managing layer2 and layer3
switching at wire speed for constructing a switched/routed network.
This interface provides both a bridging functionality and advanced
features such as link aggregation, Dynamic VLAN/Dynamic Multicast,
IGMP Snooping and Network Access Control. This web-based interface
also comes with several Layer3 features as well (such as wire speed
routing, Differentiated services, multicast routing and so on).
The Acer Switch firmware is implemented using open sources from
OpenSSL, OpenSSH and other open source communities and is
configured using web browsers such as Internet Explorer.
The utility starts with a default IP address, which is also the
management IP address. This IP address is essentially provided for
remote management of this switch. For managing the switch through
web browsers, type in the default IP address in your browser’s web
address in order to start accessing the switch.
For example, if the management IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.1,
the switch can be accessed through the Web browser by typing
http://
192.168.1.1 in the address space of the web browser.
The default management IP address for Acer Switch products is
192.168.100.102. This default IP address can be changed in the S

page in the System Management section.
The switch can be managed with the default IP through CMM Ethernet
connections, since the internal management Ethernet ports are
connected with CMM Ethernet ports internally. If you prefer to
manage the switch through front panel ports or through any other
switching ports, then you can assign the desired management IP
address to VLAN 1. Alternatively, you can create any VLAN and manage
