1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

This manual covers the ESML6-P3 series management software. This software supports Telnet, SNMP protocols and is compliant with networking regulations. This switch can be managed and monitored using third party software. Configuration of the switch, monitoring and other network management features can be achieved in 3 ways:

• via the console port (HyperTerminal)

• using Telnet

• using a web browser

2 Logging in

To access the switch via a web browser, the switch needs to be connected from one of its RJ45 ports to the computer. The factory settings for logging are shown below. The user can view or modify the IP address once in the management software.

IP address： 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask： 255.255.255.0 Default gateway： 192.168.0.1

Access the web in the following way:

1. Start a web browser and enter the appropriate IP address, press the enter key to open the connection as shown in Fig 2-1:

Fig 2-1 Start Web Management

2. Enter the user name “admin” and password “123” in the presented page and click on the “Log in” button.

3.1.2.1 IP Address

In this menu the user can modify the IP address, subnet mask and gateway. Select <Apply> once changes have been made. The switch needs to be rebooted in the ‘Device Management’ menu option for changes to be made effective.

Fig 3-8 IP Address

3.1.2.2 Device Information

In this menu you are able to enter the project name, system name, location and contact information. Select <Apply> once changes have been made and wait for confirmation that they have been accepted.

3.1.2.3 Port Configuration

From this menu the user can configure the port administration status (enable/disable), the operation status (enable/disable) & auto-negotiation (enable/disable), set the port speed to either 10M or 100M, whether it is full or half duplex and set the switch flow control (on/off). If enabled the port administration allows the port to be used to connect to the management interface, if disabled this function is not available. If a port is to be used the operation status must be enabled and if not in use, disabled. Auto-negotiation allows auto sensing to be enabled or disabled. For ports 1 to 6 auto-negotiation must be disabled to allow the speed and full or half-duplex to be fixed. If flow control is on then the switch can control the speed at which data is sent to ensure that it is not faster than the receiver is capable.

Select <Apply> once changes have been made.

3.1.2.4 Change Password

From this menu the user can enter a new password. Enter the details of the old password and the new one and then select <Apply> to confirm changes.

3.1.2.5 Software Update

Enter the FTP server IP address, FTP file name, FTP user name and FTP password. Select <Apply> once changes have been made and make a note of the upgraded software ID.

Note: the FTP server address must be on the same subnet as the switch IP address.

Wait for the upgrade to complete, a message will be displayed when it is finished.

The switch needs to be rebooted in the ‘Device Management’ menu option for changes to be made effective.

Wait for 30 seconds to start up the network management system.

Select the ‘Device Basic Info’ option from the menu to check that the software version has been successfully upgraded.

3.1.2.6 Upload & Download

This menu option can be used to upload and download switch configuration information. Select either upload or download, enter the FTP server IP address, FTP filename, FTP username and FTP password. Select <Apply> and wait for confirmation.

3.1.3 Advanced Configuration

The Advanced Configurations menu includes twenty submenus: Port Rate, VLAN, Port Mirroring, Link Check, Port Trunking, Static FDB Multicast, IGMP Snooping, ARP, RSTP, RSTP Transparent Transmission, DT-Ring, QoS Configuration, MAC Aging Time, SBTP, Alarm, SNMP, RMON, SSH, MOTD & AAA Configuration.

3.1.3.1 Port Rate

Port Rate is used to control Broadcast Storms.

Select the type of rate control from the table, the options are: limit all frames, limit just multicast and flooded unicast frames (these are the unknown unicast frames and includes broadcast frames), limit just multicast frames (including broadcast) and limit just broadcast frames. The range for the 100M ports is 62kps to 100,000kbps and for the Gigabit ports 62 kbps to 256,000kbps. If the speed is set to 0 the restricted speed is disabled.

Select Apply> once changes have been made.

Fig 3-15 Port Rate

3.1.3.2 VLAN

VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow one network to be divided into multiple logical subnets. The terminal equipment connected to the ports of a switch in the same VLAN are able to communicate with each other as defined by their logical relationship rather than their physical connectivity.

Once in this menu select <Add> to set up a new VLAN. Enter a VLAN name and VLAN ID, VLAN1 is the default for the switch so the range of ID numbers that can be set is from 2 to 4093.

The members of the VLAN need to be set as either tagged or untagged. If a port is set to be untagged it is an access port. This is used to connect an end station that is VLANunaware, this port provides connectivity through the switch without the actual end station being required to support VLAN tagging. If a port is untagged the priority of the port can be set from 0 to 7.

Switch 1

VLAN 2

VLAN 3

6

Fig 3-16 Untagged Ports

In this example VLAN2 is configured so that port 1 and 2 belong to it and ports 3 and 4 belong to VLAN3. In this situation information on ports 1 & 2 is isolated from ports 3 & 4.

Switch 1:

VLAN2 port 1 = untagged VLAN3 port 3 = untagged port 2 = untagged port 4 = untagged

Manual_web_mgt_sw-ESML6-P3-Rev 1107

Ethernet Switch User Manual

Fig 3-17 Configuring a VLAN

A tagged port is a trunk port. This port is used to interconnect switches that are in the VLAN-aware domain. The VLAN-aware switch receives the untagged frames from the end stations, applies the VLAN association rules, and forwards the frames with a tag. Once the ports have been set select <Apply> to complete the configuration.

To edit or view an existing VLAN select the VLAN name from under the VLAN Group List.

Example:

VLAN 2

VLAN 3

1

Fig 3-18 Tagged ports

In the example in Fig 3-18, Switch 1 and Switch 2 are connected via ports 5 on both switches, VLAN 2 on Switch 1 is then able to communicate with VLAN2 on Switch 2 via the uplink port 5. The configuration would need to be as follows:

Switch 1:

VLAN2 port 1 = untagged VLAN3 port 3 = untagged port 2 = untagged port 4 = untagged port 5 = tagged port 5 = tagged
