Product description
Cost-effective IPv6 managed Gigabit switch solution for enterprises
NS3500-24T-4C is a Layer 2+ managed Gigabit Switch that features 24-Port
10/100/1000BASE-T with 4-Port Shared 100/1000Bas e-X SFP and supports static
Layer 3 routing for enterprise-level network. The abundant L2 / L4 switching engine
offered by the NS3500-24T-4C performs effective data traffic control for enterprises and
VoIP service providers, video streaming, and multicast applications. Providing userfriendly but advanced IPv6 / IPv4 management interfaces, it is well suited for backbone
and workgroup network applications by providing affordability, high performance, and
stable transmission qu al i ty.
Environment-friendly, variable fan design for silent operation
The managed switch features a 19-inch metal housing, no noise design, and an
effective ventilation system.It is able to operate reliably, stably, and quietly in any
environment without affecting performance.
Solution for IPv6 networking
With the IPv6/IPv4 dual stack and other management functions with user-friendly
interfaces, the NS3500-24T-4C is the best choice for IP surveillance, VoIP, and
wireless service providers to deploy the IPv6 network. More importantly, they help
SMBs upgrade their network infrastructures to the IPv6 era without any monetary
investment.
IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing for secure and flexible management
To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the managed switch not only
provides ultra high transmission performance and excel lent Layer 2 technologies, but
also a IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature that allows cross over of different VLANs and
NS3500-24T-4C Managed Switch User Manual 5
Chapter 1: Introduction
different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly secured, flexible management
and simpler networking application.
Robust Layer 2 feature
The managed switch can be progra mmed f or advanced switch manag ement functions
such as dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning
Tree Protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control, and IGMP / MLD
snooping. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the managed switch allows the
operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It consist s o f a maximu m o f
14 trunk groups with four ports for each group, and also supports fai l -over.
Powerful security
The managed switch offers a comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List
(ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by
denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or
defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1x
port-based and MAC-b as ed user and device authentication. With the private VLAN
function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy.
Enhanced security and traffic control
The managed switch also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic
ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets
with invalid MAC addresses. The network administrator can now construct highlysecure corporate networks using considerably less time and effort than before.
User-friendly secure management
For efficient management, the managed switch is equipped with console, web, and
SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in web-based managemen t int erface, the
managed switch offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent manag eme nt and
configuration facility. The managed switch supports standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (S NM P) and can be managed by any management software
based on the standard SNMP v1 or v2 protocol. For reducing product learning time, the
managed switch offers Cisco-like command via Telnet or console port, and the
customer doesn’t need to learn new commands from these switches. Moreover, the
managed switch offers secure management remotely by supporting SSH, SSL, and
SNMP v3 connections where the packet content can be encry pted a t each sessi o n.

Chapter 2: Installation
Switch rear panel
The rear panel of the managed switch contains an AC inlet power socket that accepts
input power from 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
AC power receptacle
For compatibility with electrical supplies in most areas of the world, the managed
switch’s power supply automatically adjusts to line power in the range of 100-240 VAC
and 50/60 Hz.
Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle on the rear panel of the
managed switch and the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet and then
power it on.
Note: The device is a power-required device, meaning it will not work until it is powered
on. If your network needs to be active at all times, consider using a UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for the dev ic e to help to prevent network data loss or network downtime.
In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect the
managed switch from an unregulated surge or current to the switch or the power
adapter.
Installing the switch
This section describes how to install and make connections to the managed switch.
Read the following topics and perform the procedures in the order presented.
To install the managed switch on a desktop or shelf:
1. Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the managed switch.
2. Place the managed switch on the desktop or the shelf near an AC power source, as
shown below:

objects.
Note: When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental restrictions
indicated in “Product specifications” on page 11.
4. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports on the
front of the managed switch and the other end of the cable to the network devices
such as printer servers, workstations or routers.
Note: Connection to the managed switch requires UTP Category 5 network cabling
with RJ45 tips. For more information, see Appendix A “Networking connection” on
page 293.
5. Connect one end of the power cable to the managed switch.

Note: We recommend the use of Interlogix SFPs on the managed switch. If you insert
an SFP transceiver that is not supported, the managed switch will not recognize it.
Before connecting the other managed switches, workstat ion, or media converter:

1. Make sure both sides of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type. For
example, 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check if the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP tr ansc ei v er requirement.
• To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mod e fi ber cabl e
with one side being male duplex LC connector type.
20 NS3500-24T-4C Managed Switch User Manual
Chapter 2: Installation
• To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mod e fib er cable
with one side being male duplex LC connector type.
To connect the fiber cable:
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with a SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the managed switch.
Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. Set the link mode to “1000-X” or
“100-X” so that it can work with certain fiber-NICs or media converters if required.
The defaul t setting is SFP Auto-AMS mode.
To remove the transceiver module:
1. Make sure there is no network activity by checking with the network administrator.
Or, through the management interface of the switch/converter (if available), disable
the port in advance.
2. Carefully remove the fiber optic cable.
3. Turn the lever of the transceiver module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.
Note: Never pull out the module without making use of the lever or the push bolts on
the module. Removing the module with force could damage the mo d ul e and the SFP
module sl ot of the managed switch.

Switch management
This chapter explains the methods that can be used to configure management access
to the managed switch. It describes the types of management applications and the
communication and management protocols that deliver data between the management
device (workstation or personal computer) and the system. It also contains information
about port connection options.
Requirements
• Workstations must have Windows XP or later, Mac OS9 or later, Linux, UNIX , or
other platforms compatible with TCP/IP protocols.
• Workstations must have an Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card) installed.
• Serial Port connection (Terminal). The workstation must have a COM Port (DB9 /
RS-232) or USB-to-RS-232 converter.
• Ethernet port connection. Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45
connectors.
• Workstations must have a web browser and Java runtime environment plug-in
installed.
Note: We recommend the use of Internet Explorer 11.0 or later to ac ces s the managed
switch.
Management access ov erview
The managed switch provides the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of
the following methods:
• An administration console
• Web browser interface
• An external SNMP-based network management application

name).
The administration console and web browser interface support are embedded in the
managed switch software and are available for immediate use. The advantages of
these management me thods are described below:
Advantages Disadvantages
• No IP address or subnet needed.
• Text-based
• Telnet functionality and
HyperTerminal built into Windows
operating systems.
• Ideal for configuring the switch
remotely.
• Compatible with all popular
browsers.
• Can be accessed from any
location.
• Communicates with switch
functions at the MIB level.
• Based on open standards.
• Must be near the switch or use dial-up
connection.
• Not convenient for remote users.
• Modem connection may prove to be
unreliable or slow.
• Security can be compromised (hackers
need only know the IP address and
subnet mask).
• May encounter lag times on poor
connections.
• Requires SNMP manager software
• Least visually appealing of all three
methods.
• Some settings require calculations.
• Security can be compromised (hackers
need to only know the community
Administration console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user
interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or changing
option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration console from a
terminal, a computer, or workstation connected to the managed switch's console
(serial) port.
NS3500-24T-4C Managed Switch User Manual 23
Chapter 3: Switch management
Direct access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a
terminal or a computer equipped with a terminal-emulation program (such as
HyperTerminal) to the managed switch console (serial) port. When using this
management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to
the computer. After making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program
to use the following parameters:
These settings can be changed after log on, if required. This management method is
often preferred because the user can remain connected and monitor the system during
system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of
the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A computer attachment
can use any terminal emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A
workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
24 NS3500-24T-4C Managed Switch User Manual
Chapter 3: Switch management
Web management
The managed switch provides features that allow users to manage it from anywhere on
the network through a stand ard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After
setting up the IP address for the switch, you can access the managed switch's web
interface applications directly in the web browser by entering the IP address of the
managed switch.
You can use a web browser to list and manage the managed switch configuration
parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the
managed switch's console port. Web management requires Microsoft Internet Explorer
11.0 or later.
SNMP-based network management
Use an external SNMP-based application to c on fig ur e and ma nag e the managed
switch, such as SNMP Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management
(NNM), or What’s Up Gold. This manag e me nt method requires the SNMP agent on the
switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string.
This management method uses two community strings: the get community string and
the set community string. If the SNMP Network Management Station only knows the set
community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get
community string, it can only read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for
the managed switch are public.

Chapter 3: Switch management
Smart discovery utility
For easily listing the managed switch in your Ethernet env i r onme nt, the S mar t
Discovery utility included on the CD-ROM is an ideal solution.
To run the smart discovery utility:
1. Install the Smart Discovery Utility in the administrator PC.
2. Run the utility.
Note: If there are two or more LAN cards in the same administrator computer,
choose a different LAN card by using the “Select Adapter” tool.
3. Click the Refresh button for the currently connected devices in the discovery list:
4. This utility shows all necessary information from the devices, such as MAC address,
device name, firmware version and device IP subnet address. It can also assign
new password, IP Subnet address and description for the devices. After setup is
complete, click the Update Device, Update Multi, or Update All button:
• Update Device: Use the current setting on one single device.
• Update Multi: Use the current setting on multi-devices.
• Update All: Use the current setting on all devices in the list.

The same functions mentioned above also can be found in Option menu.
5. Selecting the Control Packet Force Broadcast check box allows you to assign a
new setting value to the Web Smart Switch under a different IP subnet address.
6. Click the Connect to Device button and the web login screen appears.
7. Click the Exit button to shut down the Smart Discovery Utility.
NS3500-24T-4C Managed Switch User Manual 27
Chapter 4
Web configuration
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the web-based management
interface for the managed switch.
About Web-based management
Web-based management of the managed switch supports Internet Explorer 7.0 or later,
and can be performed from any location on the network. It is based on Java Applets
with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed, and
present an easy viewing screen.
Note: By default, IE 11.0 and above does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The
user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network
ports.
The managed switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection when the
manager computer is set to the same IP subnet address as the managed switch.
For example, if the default IP address of the managed switch is 192.168.0.100, then the
administrator computer should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1
and 254, except 100), and the defaul t s ub net mas k is 255 . 25 5.2 55.0.
If the default IP address of the managed switch has been changed to 192.168.1.1 with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via the console, then the administrator computer should be
set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative
configuration on a manager computer.
