Switch Management Methods
The smart switch contains an embedded web server and management software for
managing and monitoring switch functions. Without the management software, the smart
switch functions as a simple switch. You can use the management software to configure
more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.
You can use one of the following management functions to configure and monitor the smart
switch. The method that you use to manage and monitor the smart switch depends on your
network size and requirements, and on your preference:
• Web management interface. The web management interface lets you monitor,
configure, and control the smart switch remotely using a web browser
the performance of the smart switch, optimize its configuration for your network, and
configure all smart switch features. For more information, see Web Management
Interface on page 11.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The smart switch can function as a
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to provide reporting and allow for
remote management. SNMP is enabled by default on the smart switch. For information
about how to configure SNMP on the smart switch, see

ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches
Connect the Smart Switch to the Network
To enable remote management of the smart switch through the web management interface
or SNMP, you need to connect the smart switch to the network and configure it with network
information (an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway). The smart switch has a
default IP address of 192.168.0.239 and a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
To change the default network information on the smart switch, use one of the following three
methods:
• Dynamic assignment through DHCP. DHCP is enabled by default on the smart switch.
If you connect the smart switch to a network with a DHCP server, the smart switch
obtains its network information automatically
the automatically assigned network information.
For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP
Server on page 29. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see
Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
• Static assignment through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the smart switch
to a network that does not have a DHCP server

For more information, see Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network without a
DHCP Server on page 32. For more information about the Smart Control Center, see
Appendix A, Smart Control Center Utilities.
• Static assignment by connecting from local computer. If you do not want to use the
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the smart switch
from a computer (administrative system) in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the
settings by using the web management interface on the smart switch.
For information about how to set the IP address on the computer so it is in the same
subnet as the default IP address of the smart switch, see Configure the Network Settings
from a Local Computer on page 34.
Use Automatic Switch Discovery for a Network with a DHCP Server
This section describes how to set up your smart switch in a network that has a DHCP server.
The DHCP client on the smart switch is enabled by default. When you connect the smart
switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the smart
switch. Use the Smart Control Center to discover the IP address that is automatically
assigned to the smart switch.

Configure the Time Settings and SNTP Servers
The smart switch supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). You can also set the
system time manually.
SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. A
network SNTP server performs time synchronization. The smart switch operates only as an
SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
Strata provide time sources and define the accuracy of the reference clock. The higher the
stratum (where o [zero] is the highest), the more accurate the clock. The smart switch
receives time from stratum 0 or stratum 1 since it is itself a stratum 2 device.
The following is an example of stratums:
• Stratum 0. The time source is a real-time clock such as a GPS time system.
• Stratum 1. The time source is a server that is directly linked to a stratum 0 time source.
Stratum 1 time servers provide primary network time standards.
• Stratum 2. The time source is distanced from the stratum 1 server over a network path.
For example, a stratum 2 server receives the time over a network link, through NTP
a stratum 1 server.

ProSAFE FS526Tv2, FS726Tv2, and FS728TLP Smart Switches
The smart switch evaluates information that it receives from SNTP servers based on stratum

• T2. Time at which the SNTP server received the original request
• T3. T
• T4. T
ime at which the SNTP server sent a reply
ime at which the SNTP client (that is, the smart switch) received the reply of the

Enable Flow Control
802.3X flow control is a method to control congestion. When 802.3X flow control is enabled
and congestion occurs, the congested port sends a pause frame to the other end of the link to
pause the transmission of packets. When congestion is relieved, the port that was congested
sends another pause frame to restore the transmission of packets.
When congestion occurs, traffic might be dropped for small bursts of time, which can lead to
loss of high-priority traffic, network control traffic, or both. When flow control is enabled,
switches that function at lower speeds can communicate with switches that function at higher
speeds by requesting that the latter refrain from sending packets. When such a situation
occurs, transmissions are temporarily halted to prevent buf
fer overflows.
To enable global flow control:
1. Select Switching > Ports > Flow Control.

Nominal Power The maximum amount of power in watts that the smart switch can deliver to
all PoE ports.
Threshold Power The threshold power in watts. The value is fixed at 93W
As long as the consumed power is less than the threshold power, that is, the
consumed power is between the nominal power and the threshold power
the smart switch can still provide power to another PoE port. If the consumed
power falls below the threshold power, the smart switch cannot provide
power to another PoE port.

Configure VLANs
Adding virtual LAN (VLAN) support to a Layer 2 switch provides some of the benefits of both
bridging and routing. Like a bridge, a VLAN switch forwards traffic based on the Layer 2
header, which is fast. Like a router, it partitions the network into logical segments, which
provides better administration, security, and management of multicast traffic.
By default, all ports on the switch are in the same broadcast domain. VLANs electronically
separate ports on the same switch into separate broadcast domains so that broadcast
packets are not sent to all the ports on a single switch. When you use a VLAN, you can group
users by logical function instead of physical location.
Each VLAN in a network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag
in the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN.
the VLAN portion of the tag, in which case the first switch port to receive the packet can either
reject it or insert a tag using its default VLAN ID.
but it can support only one default VLAN ID.
A port can handle traffic for multiple VLANs,
An end station might omit the tag, or
Note: For more information about VLANs, including configuration
examples, see Virtual Local Area Networks on page 308.
Manage Custom VLANs
The smart switch supports up to 128 VLANs. VLAN 1 is the preconfigured default VLAN, and
all port are untagged members by default. VLAN 2 (VoiceVLAN) and VLAN 3 (Auto-Video)
are also preconfigured VLANs, but no ports are part of these VLANs by default. Y

Note: By default, all ports are untagged members of VLAN 1, the default
VLAN. However, ports that you make members of link aggregation
groups (that is, physical interfaces that function as trunk members)
lose their membership of the default VLAN. For more information
about link aggregation groups, see Chapter 8, Configure LAGs and

Configure Port VLAN IDs for Ports and LAGs
The Port PVID Configuration screen lets you assign a port VLAN ID (PVID) to a port, LAG, or
both.
There are certain requirements for a PVID:
• A PVID must be assigned to all ports and LAGs. By default, all ports and LAGs are
assigned to PVID 1 because they are assigned to default VLAN 1. If you do not specify
another PVID, the default VLAN PVID is used for untagged or priority-tagged frames.
• If you want to change the default PVID of a port or LAG to a custom PVID, first create a
VLAN that includes the port or LAG as its member (see Manage Custom VLANs on
page 80 and Manage VLAN Memberships on page 82).

Link Aggregation Group Concepts
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also referred to as channels or port channels, let
you combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat
the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing.
The smart switch supports eight LAGs (LAG1 through LAG8), none of which have any ports
assigned to them. All LAGs are members of VLAN1, the default VLAN. Y
LAGs as members of other VLANs.
You can configure a LAG as static or dynamic, but not both:
• Static. A static LAG does not require a partner system to aggregate its member ports.
After you have added a port as a member of a static LAG, the port does not transmit or
accept LACP data units (LACPDUs).
• Dynamic. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) can automatically configure a link
between the smart switch and a partner device by using LACPDUs.

Forwarding Database Concepts
When the smart switch receives a packet from a MAC address, it adds the MAC address to
the forwarding database, which is also referred to as the MAC Address Table. The smart
switch uses the information in the forwarding database to determine how to propagate
incoming traffic. The forwarding database contains only unicast addresses. Multicast
addresses are stored in the multicast forwarding database (see View and Search the
Multicast Forwarding Database Table on page 112).
The forwarding database is dynamically built, but you can add static MAC addresses
manually
.
View, Search, and Clear the MAC Address Table

added MAC addresses in the forwarding database.
