If VLAN is enabled and configured, each node in the network that can communicate each
other directly is bounded in the same VLAN area.
Here VLAN area is defined by what VLAN you are using. The switch supports both port-based
VLAN and tag-based VLAN. They are different in practical deployment, especially in physical
location. The following diagram shows how it works and what the difference they are.
The same VLAN members could not be in different switches.
Every VLAN members could not access VLAN members ea ch other.
The switch manager has to assign different names for each VLAN groups at one switch.

The switch may be standalone, or mounted in a rack. Rack mounting facilitate to an orderly
installation when you are going to install series of networking devices.
Procedures to Rack-mount the switch:
1. Disconnect all the cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the rack and secure with suitable screws.
Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X
functionality. Both straight-through or crossover cables can be used as the media to connect
the switch with PCs as well as other devices like switches, hubs or router.
Category 3, 4, 5 or 5e, 6 UTP/STP cable: To make a valid connection and obtain the optimal
performance, an appropriate cable that corresponds to different transmitting/receiving
speed is required. To choose a suitable cable, please refer to the following table.
Users can monitor and configure the switch through the following procedures.

Before start using the switch, the IP address setting of the switch should be done, then
perform the following steps:
1. Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat.

Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask

VigorSwitch P2280x User’s Guide

2. After configuring correct IP address on your PC, open your web browser and access
switch's IP address.
Default system account is "admin", with password "admin" in default. Switch IP address is
"192.168.1.224" by default with DHCP client enabled.
For IP address configuration, there are three parameters needed to be filled in. They are IP
address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS.
IP address:
The address of the network device in the network is used for internetworking communication.
Its address structure looks is shown below. It is “classful” because it is s p lit into predefined
address classes or categories.
Each class has its own network range between the network identifier and host identifier in the
32 bits address. Each IP address comprises two parts: network ide n tifier (address) and host
identifier (address). The former indicates the network where the addressed host resides, and
the latter indicates the individual host in the network which the address of host refers to. And
the host identifier must be unique in the same LAN. Here the term of IP address we used is
version 4, known as IPv4.
Network identifier Host identifier
32 bits
With the classful addressing, it divides IP address into three classes, class A, class B and class
C. The rest of IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast. The bit length of the network
prefix is the same as that of the subnet mask and is denoted as IP address/X, for example,
192.168.1.0/24. Each class has its address range described below.
Class A:
Address is less than 126.255.255.255. There are a total of 126 networks can be defined
because the address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for default route and 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for
loopback function.
Class B:
IP address range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255. Each cl ass B network has a 16-bit
network prefix followed 16-bit host address. There are 16,384 (2^14)/16 networks able to be
defined with a maximum of 65534 (2^16 –2) hosts per network.
VigorSwitch P2280x User’s Guide
11
Class C:
IP address range between 192.0.0.0 and 223.255.255.255. Each class C network has a 24-bit
network prefix followed 8-bit host address. There are 2,097,152 (2^ 21)/24 networks able to
be defined with a maximum of 254 (2^8 –2) hosts per network.
Class D and E:
Class D is a class with first 4 MSB (Most significance bit) set to 1-1-1-0 and is used for IP
Multicast. See also RFC 1112. Class E is a class with first 4 MSB set to 1-1-1-1 and is used for I P
broadcast.
According to IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), there are three specific IP address
blocks reserved and able to be used for extending internal network. We call it Private IP
address and list below:
Class A 10.0.0.0 --- 10.255.255.255
Class B 172.16.0.0 --- 172.31.255.255
Class C 192.168.0.0 --- 192.168.255.255
Please refer to RFC 1597 and RFC 1466 for more information.
Subnet mask:
It means the sub-division of a class-based network or a CIDR block. The subnet is used to
determine how to split an IP address to the network prefix and the host address in bitwise
basis. It is designed to utilize IP address more efficiently and ease to manage IP network.
For a class B network, 128.1.2.3, it may have a subnet mask 255.255.0.0 in default, in which
the first two bytes is with all 1s. This means more than 60 thousands of nodes in flat IP
address will be at the same network. It’s too large to manage practically. Now if we divide it
into smaller network by extending network prefix from 16 bits to, say 24 bits, that’s using it s
third byte to subnet this class B network. Now it has a subnet mask 255.255.255.0, in which
each bit of the first three bytes is 1. It’s now clear that the first two bytes is used to identify
the class B network, the third byte is used to identify the subnet within this class B network
and, of course, the last byte is the host number.
Not all IP address is available in the sub-netted network. Two special addresses are reserved.
They are the addresses with all zero’s and all one’s host number. For example, an IP address
128.1.2.128, what IP address reserved will be looked like? All 0s mean the network itself, a nd
all 1s mean IP broadcast.
12
VigorSwitch P2280x User’s Guide
In this diagram, you can see the subnet mask with 25-bit long, 255.255.255.1 28, contain s 126
members in the sub-netted network. Another is that the length of network prefix equals the
number of the bit with 1s in that subnet mask. With this, you can easily count the number of
IP addresses matched. The following table shows the result.
Prefix Length No. of IP matched No. of Addressable IP
According to the scheme above, a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 will partition a network with
the class C. It means there will have a maximum of 254 effective nodes existed in this
sub-netted network and is considered a physical network in an autonomous network. So it
owns a network IP address which may looks like 168.1.2.0.
With the subnet mask, a bigger network can be cut into small pieces of network. If we want to
have more than two independent networks in a worknet, a partition to the network must be
performed. In this case, subnet mask must be applied.
For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like 255.255.255.240. This
means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of 15 nodes in the network.

For assigning an IP address to the switch, you just have to check what the IP address of the
network will be connected with the switch. Use the same network address and append your
host address to it.
First, IP Address: as shown above, enter “192.168.1.224”, for instance. For sure, an
IP address such as 192.168.1.x must be set on your PC.
Second, Subnet Mask: as shown above, enter “255.255.255.0”. Choose a subnet mask
suitable for your network.
Note: The DHCP Setting is enabled in default. Therefore, if a DHCP server presented on
network connected to the switch, check before accessing your switch is essential.
1. Open any browser (e.g., Firefox) and type “192.168.1.224” as URL.
2. Please type “admin/admin” as the Username/Password and click Login.
3. Now, the Main Screen will appear.
