II-3. Preparation for Telnet/SSH Interface
Both telnet and SSH (Secure Shell) are network protocols that provide a text-based command line
interface (CLI) for in-band system management. However, only SSH provides a secure channel over an
un-secured network, where all transmitted data are encrypted.
This switch support both telnet and SSH management CLI. In order to access the switch’s CLI via telnet or
SSH, both your PC and the switch must be in the same network. Before using the switch’s telnet/SSH
management CLI, please set your PC’s network environment according to the previous chapter (II-2.
Preparation for Web Interface).
Telnet interface can be accessed via Microsoft “CMD” command. However, SSH interface can only be
accessed via dedicated SSH terminal simulator. The following section will use PuTTY as an example to
demonstrate how to connect to the switch’s SSH CLI, since both telnet and SSH uses the same way
(though using different terminal simulator software) to access in-band management CLI.
Access SSH via Putty:
A “PuTTY Configuration” window will pop up after you run PuTTY.
1. Input the IP address of the switch in the “Host Name (or IP address)” field. The default IP address
of the switch is 192.168.2.1.

III-2-3.BASIC SETTINGS –SYSTEM TIME
The System Time represents the date and time. The system uptime defines the passing time after the
system boots up. There is no battery on the switch and hence the system time cannot be saved in the
system. Users can configure the time zone and system time manually by synchronizing the time with the
browser or by enabling the “NTP” service to get the time from a NTP Server.
NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a clock synchronization protocol, which is used to synchronize the
system time with the NTP server. NTP is one of the oldest Internet Protocols in use from 1985 until now.
It works based on a client-server model, but it can also be used in peer-to-peer relationships. The NTP
application on the switch is follows the client-server model and the switch plays a role in the NTP Client.

III-3. Web Management – Redundancy
III-3-1.REDUNDANCY –SPANNING TREE
The Spanning-Tree Protocol is a standard protocol that is defined in IEEE 802.1D. It is used to build
a logical loop-free topology for layer-2 Networks. The basic function of the protocol is to prevent loops
and broadcast flooding around the switches. STP allows spare links in the network design to
provide backup paths when the active link fails and requires a convergence time of 30-50 seconds to
recover the topology when the topology is changed. This prompted the use of Rapid Spanning-Tree
Protocol as it provides a faster convergence when the topology is changed.
RSTP was introduced by IEEE as 802.1w. It can respond within 3 x "Hello Time" when a topology is
changed. The "Hello Time" is a configurable value and it is very important for RSTP. The default RSTP
value is 2 seconds and typically, the convergence time for RSTP is under 6 seconds. RSTP is much faster
than STP. RSTP should be used instead of STP.
The Multiple Spanning-Tree Protocol defined in the IEEE 802.1s is an extension to RSTP for Virtual LANs.
MSTP provides a better alternate path than STP/RSTP for different VLANs. It can make a group of VLANs
more systemized in the topology.

MSTP: Enable STP and run "MSTP" for redundancy.
Disable: Disable STP. Users have to enable another protocol to prevent from loop.
Root Priority
•
It is used to define the "Root Bridge". The bridge with the lowest Root Priority is the "Root Bridge".
If all the bridges are set to the same Root Priority value, the system will select the Root Bridge based
on the MAC Addresses.
The range of Root Priority is from 0 to 61440(multiple of 4096).
The default Root Priority is 32768.
Hello Time
•
It is very important and used to determine the interval to send BPDU (management frame) to check
the RSTP topology and status.
The range of Hello Time is from 1 to 10 second(s).
The default Hello Time is 2 seconds.
Forward Delay
•
A delay/timer is used to determine when to change the Path State from Learning/Listening to
Forwarding.
The range of Forward Delay is from 4 to 30 seconds.
The default Forward Delay is 15 seconds.
