AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.1.8 Web Browser Interface
This chapter describes the types of web management sessions on the
AlliedWare Plus web interface and the web interface manager accounts.
See the following sections:
“Management Sessions” on page 16
“Web Manager Accounts” on page 17

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus™ Version 2.1.8 Web Browser Interface
Note
Management Sessions
This manual provides procedures that guide you through the AlliedWare
Plus web interface. The AlliedWare Plus Management Software supports
the AT-9000/12POE, AT-9000/28, AT-9000/28POE, AT-9000/28SP, and
AT-9000/52 Layer 2-4 Gigabit Ethernet EcoSwitches in both the web
interface and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The initial management session of the switch must be from a local (serial
port console) management session because you must assign the switch
an IP address from a local session. After you have assigned an IP address
to the switch and enabled web management, you can log onto the web
with either an encrypted (HTTPS) or a non-encrypted (HTTP) web
browser management session.
In addition, the web interface allows access to a subset of the AlliedWare
Plus features. For access to all of the AlliedWare Plus features, you must
use the CLI.
Detailed feature descriptions are not provided in this guide. For thorough
explanations of the features, see the AlliedWare Plus Management
Software Command Line User’s Guide.
The initial management session of the switch must be from a local
(serial port console) management session.
16
Web Manager Accounts
You must log on to manage the switch. This requires a valid username and
password. The switch comes with one web manager account with a
username of “manager” and the default password of “friend.” Both the
username and password are case sensitive. This account gives you
access to all management modes and commands.
In the web interface, you can create two additional remote manager
accounts. For instructions, see “Managing User Accounts” on page 44.
The switch supports up to three manager sessions (this is configurable) at
one time.

Note
IPv4 Address— IPv4 address and subnet mask of the web
interface. The IPv4 management address is assigned to the
switch. The address is specified in the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Each xxx is a number from 0 to 255. There are four groups of
numbers that are separated by periods.
For IPv4 addresses, the subnet mask is a decimal number that
represents the number of bits, from left to right, that constitute the
network portion of the address. Here are some examples:
— The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.
— The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.
IPv4 Gateway— IPv4 address of the next hop of the switch’s
default route. The switch uses a default route when it must
communicate with a device that is not on the local IPv4 network.

What to Configure First
Here are a few suggestions on what to configure during your web
management session on the switch. The initial management session must
be a local management session from the Console port on the switch. For
instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting
a Web Management Session” on page 20.
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Management Software Web Interface User’s Guide
Assigning a Name
to the Switch
Adding a
Management IP
Address
The switch is easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s name
is displayed on the Dashboard page. See Figure 4 on page 23. To change
the name of the switch, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 40.
A name can be up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Spaces and quotation
marks are not permitted.
You must assign the switch a management IP address before you can
access the web interface. In addition, you may assign the switch both an
IPv4 and an IPv6 address. See Chapter 18, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6
Management” on page 197.
Here are the requirements:
The switch can have one management IPv4 address and one
management IPv6 address.
The switch can have one IPv4 default gateway and one IPv6 default
gateway.
A management IP address must be assigned to a VLAN on the switch.
It can be any VLAN, including the Default_VLAN which is “VLAN1.” For
background information on VLANs, refer to the AlliedWare Plus
Version 2.1.8 Command Line User’s Guide.
Setting System
Time
The network devices (such as, syslog servers, TFTP servers, etc.)
must be members of the same subnet as a management IP address or
have access to it through routers or other Layer 3 devices.
The switch must have a default gateway if the network devices are not
members of the same subnet as the management IP address. The
default gateway specifies the IP address of a router interface that
represents the first hop to the subnets or networks of the network
devices.
A default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the same
subnet as a management IP address.
To set the system time, either manually or with an NTP server, see
“Setting the System Date and Time” on page 32.

Note
Note
Setting the System Date and Time
This procedure explains how to set the switch’s date and time. Setting the
date and time is important if you plan to view the events in the switch’s
event log or send the events to a syslog server. The correct date and time
are also important if the management software sends traps to a
management workstation or if you plan to create a self-signed SSL
certificate. Events, traps, and self-signed certificates should contain the
date and time of when they occurred or, in the case of certificates, when
they were created.
There are two ways to set the switch’s date and time. One method is to set
it manually. This method is not recommended because the date and time
are lost if you reboot the switch.
The second method uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). The
AlliedWare Plus Management Software comes with the client version of
this protocol. You can configure the AlliedWare Plus software to obtain the
current date and time from an SNTP or Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server located on your network or the Internet.
SNTP is a reduced version of the NTP. However, the SNTP client software
in the AlliedWare Plus Management Software is interoperable with NTP
servers.
In order for the management software on the switch to communicate
with an SNTP or NTP server, there must be an interface on the local
subnet from where the switch is able to reach the server. The switch
uses the IP address of the interface as its source address when
sending packets to the server.
The default system time on the switch is midnight, January 1, 2000.

Note
The switch does not set DST automatically. If the switch is in a
locale that uses DST, you must remember to enable this when DST
begins and disable it when DST ends. If the switch is in a locale that
does not use DST, this option should be set to disabled all the time.
If the local interface on the switch is obtaining its IP address and
subnet mask from a DHCP server, you can configure the server to
provide the interface with an IP address of an NTP or SNTP server.
If you configured the server to provide this address, then you do not
need to enter it here.
6. When you finish configuring the parameters, click Apply.
If you enabled the SNTP client, the switch immediately polls the SNTP
or NTP server for the current date and time. (When SNTP is enabled,
the switch automatically polls the server whenever a change is made
to any of the fields on this page.)
7. Click SAVE
to save your changes on the switch.

Chapter 4: Setting Port Parameters
Displaying the Port Parameters
The port numbering system in the AlliedWare Plus web browser interface
has the format shown in Figure 19.
The port numbering system is defined as follows:
Switch ID: This number is used if the switch supports stacking. It is
the switch’s ID number in a stack. This number is always 1 for
AT-9000 Series switches because they do not support stacking.
Figure 19. Port Numbering System
Module Slot ID: This number is used for modular switches that
have slots for networking modules. It is used to identify the
networking modules by their slot numbers. This number is always
0 for AT-9000 Series switches because they are not modular
switches.
Port number: This is a port number.
For example, port 1 would be displayed as port1.0.1.
Within the display, there is no differentiation between ports 25 through 28
and ports 25R through 28R. In the web interface, if you want to see if port
25 is connected versus port 25R, go to the home page and look at the
illustration of the switch. For an example of the home page, see Figure 4
on page 23.
To display the settings for all of the switch ports, do the following:
1. Hover the cursor over the Switching tab.
The Switching tab is displayed. See Figure 20 on page 59.

Chapter 4: Setting Port Parameters
Note
4. The following fields are displayed:
Interface— Port number.
Type— Indicates if the port is fiber or copper. If fiber: 1000Base-
SX/LX/CX; if copper: 10/100/1000Base-T.
Status— Indicates if the port is enabled or disabled. The default
setting is “Enabled.” Disabling ports turns off their receivers and
transmitters so that they cannot forward traffic.
Link— Indicates whether the port has successfully connected to a
port on another switch or unit.
Negotiation— Indicates Autonegotiation or Manual. By default,
Autonegotiation is enabled.
Speed— Speed of the port. The default setting is “1 Gbps” for
1000Mbps. The other possible options are 10Mbps and 100Mbps.
Duplex— Duplex mode of the twisted pair ports or Auto
Negotiation. The three settings are half, full, and Auto Negotiation.
Polarity— Indicates if the port’s wiring configuration is MDI
(medium dependent interface) or MDI-X (medium dependent
interface crossover). This setting only applies to a twisted pair port
that is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps.
You can enable or disable backpressure on ports where you
disabled Auto-Negotiation, and set the speeds and duplex modes
manually to 10 or 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode.
Back Pressure— Indicates if back pressure is enabled or disabled
on a port. Backpressure is used by ports during periods of packet
congestion to temporarily stop their network counterparts from
transmitting more packets. This prevents a buffer overrun, and the
subsequent loss and retransmission of network packets. A port
initiates backpressure by transmitting on the shared link to cause a
data collision, which causes its link partner to cease transmission.
The default setting is “Disabled.”
Back Pressure Limit— Indicates the threshold level for back
pressure on a port. Specifies the number of cells for back
pressure. The default value is 7935 cells.
60
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.8 Management Software Web Interface User’s Guide
Flow Control— Indicates if flow control (send and receive) is
enabled or disabled on a port. When flow control is enabled, a port
sends pause packets when it reaches the point of packet
congestion. Also, the port stops transmitting packets when it
receives pause packets from its local or remote counterpart. When
flow control is disabled, the port sends pause packets regardless of
packet congestion. In addition the port continues transmitting
packets when it receives pause packets from its local or remote
counterpart. The default is “Disabled.”
Flow Control Limit— Indicates the threshold level for flow control
on a port. The default value is 7935.
61
Chapter 4: Setting Port Parameters

5. Configure the following parameters as needed:
Interface— Port number. You cannot modify this field.
Port Type— Type of port, fiber or copper. You cannot modify this
field.
Status— Specifies if the port is enabled or disabled. Choose
between “Enabled” or “Disabled.” The default setting is “Enabled.”
Disabling ports turns off their receivers and transmitters so that
they cannot forward traffic. You may want to disable a port if there
is a problem with a cable or network device.
63
Chapter 4: Setting Port Parameters
Negotiation— State of Auto Negotiation on a port. Select “Auto” t o
enable Auto Negotiation on a port or “Manual” to disable Auto
Negotiation. The default setting is Auto. When the setting for this
field is “Auto,” the Speed and Duplex fields change from white to
brown, and you cannot select them. To change the Speed and
Duplex Mode fields, change the Negotiation setting to “Manual.”
Speed— Port speed. Select 10mb, 100mb, or 1000mb.
Duplex Mode— Sets the duplex modes of the twisted pair ports or
activates Auto-Negotiation manually. The settings are half, full, or
Auto Negotiation. Ports operating in half-duplex mode can either
receive or transmit packets, but not both at the same time. Ports
operating in full-duplex can both send and receive packets,
simultaneously.
Polarity— Sets the wiring configuration of the twisted pair ports
when they are operating at 10 or 100 Mbps, in either half- or fullduplex mode.
A twisted pair port that is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps can have
one of two wiring configurations. The configurations are known as
MDI and MDI-X. To forward traffic, a port on the switch and a port
on a network device must have different settings. For instance, the
wiring configuration of a switch port has to be MDI if the wiring
configuration on a port on a network device is MDIX.
To set this parameter on a port, you must set the speed and duplex
mode manually. A port that is using Auto-Negotiation sets its wiring
configuration automatically using auto-MDI/MDIX.
Back Pressure Status— Activates or deactivates back pressure
on the ports. Use this field to enable or disable back pressure on
ports that are operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode.
Back pressure is used by ports during periods of packet
congestion to temporarily stop their network counterparts from
transmitting more packets. This prevents a buffer overrun and the
subsequent loss and retransmission of network packets. A port
initiates back pressure by transmitting on the shared link to cause
a data collision, which causes its link partner to cease
transmission.
Back Pressure Limit (1 - 7935)— Threshold level for back
pressure on a port. Specifies the number of cells for back
pressure. A cell represents 128 bytes. The range is 1 to 7935 cells.
The default value is 7935 cells.
Flow Control Status— Enables or disables the flow control
feature. By default, flow control is disabled on a port.
Flow Control Limit (1 - 7935)— Threshold levels for flow control
on the ports. Specifies the number of cells for flow control. A cell
represents 128 bytes. The range is 1 to 7935 cells. The default
value is 7935 cells.

Setting Port Mirroring
The port mirror is a management tool that allows you to monitor the traffic
on one or more ports on the switch. It works by copying the traffic from
designated ports to another port where the traffic can be monitored with a
network analyzer. The port mirror can be used to troubleshoot network
problems or to investigate possible unauthorized network access. The
performance and speed of the switch is not affected by the port mirror.
This chapter provides a brief description of the port mirroring feature and
explains how to display and set port mirroring. See the following sections:
“Overview” on page 82
“Displaying Port Mirroring Settings” on page 83
“Assigning a Destination Port” on page 85
“Specifying Direction Type” on page 86
For more information about port mirroring, see the following chapters in the
AlliedWare Plus Management Software Command Line Interface User’s
Guide:
Port Mirror
Port Mirror Commands
Chapter 6: Setting Port Mirroring
Overview
To use the port mirroring feature, you must designate one or more so urce
ports and one destination port. The source ports are the ports whose
packets are mirrored and monitored. The destination port is the po rt where
the packets from the source ports are copied and where the network
analyzer is connected. There can be only one destination port on the
switch.
Here are guidelines for setting the port mirroring feature:
The switch supports only one mirroring port.
Port mirroring can have one destination port.
Port mirroring can have more than one source port. This allows you to
monitor the traffic on multiple ports at the same time. For example, you
might monitor the traffic on all the ports of a particular VLAN.
You can select whether to mirror the receive traffic, the transmit traffic,
or both, on the source ports.
The destination port must not be a member of a static port trunk or an
LACP trunk.

Setting the Port Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) guard against the formation of loops in an Ethernet network
topology. A topology has a loop when two or more nodes can transmit
packets to each other over more than one data path. Packets can become
caught in repeating cycles, referred to as broadcast storms, that
needlessly consume network bandwidth and that can significantly reduce
network performance.
This chapter provides a brief description of the spanning tree protocols and
explains how to set spanning tree on a port. See the following sections:
“Overview” on page 90
“Displaying Port Spanning Tree Protocol Settings” on page 91
“Modifying Port Spanning Tree Protocol Settings” on page 93
For information about how to set a spanning tree protocol for the
switch, see Chapter 13, “Setting Switch Spanning Tree Protocols” on
page 147.
For more information about spanning tree, see Section VI: Spanning Tree
Protocols in the AlliedWare Plus Management Software Command Line
Interface User’s Guide.
89
Chapter 7: Setting the Port Spanning Tree Protocol
Overview
STP and RSTP prevent loops from forming by ensuring that only one path
exists between the end nodes in your network. Where multiple paths exist,
these protocols place the extra paths in a standby or blocking mode. In
addition, STP and RSTP can activate redundant paths if primary paths go
down. These protocols guard against multiple links between segments
and the risk of broadcast storms, and maintain network connectivity by
activating backup redundant paths.
One of the primary differences between the two protocols is in the time
each takes to complete the process referred to as convergence. When a
change is made to the network topology, such as the addition of a new
bridge, a spanning tree protocol determines whether there are redundant
paths that must be blocked to prevent data loops, or activated to maintain
communications between the various network segments. This is the
process of convergence.
With STP, convergence can take up to a minute to complete in a large
network. This can result in the loss of communication between various
parts of the network during the convergence process, and the su bsequent
lost of data packets.
RSTP is much faster than STP. It can complete a convergence in
seconds, and so greatly diminish the possible impact the process can
have on your network. Only one spanning tree can be active on the switch
at a time. The default setting is RSTP.
