New Features for Switch Model M4300-96X

For hardware information about switch model M4300-96X, including information about supported port cards, power supply units (PSUs), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) budgets,

see the Fully Managed Stackable Switch M4300-96X Hardware Installation Guide.

This section describes the new features that this release supports for switch model M4300-96X.

Getting Started

M4300 and M4300-96X Fully Managed Stackable Switches User Manual

Slot-Based Port Numbering

All physical ports on switch model M4300-96X are based on slots. Because this model supports 12 slots and each port card provides eight ports, the port numbering is in the format

unit number/slot number/port number:

• The unit is the number that is assigned to the switch, either automatically generated and

assigned by the system, or manually assigned. The unit range is from 1 to 8.

• The slot is one of 12 slots that this model supports. Therefore, the slot number ranges

from 1 to 12.

• Each slot can accommodate one port card, and each port card provides eight ports.

Therefore, the port range is from 1 to 8.

For example, the fifth port in the sixth slot of a switch model M4300-96X with a unit number 1 is designated as 1/6/5. Similarly, the very first port on the switch is 1/1/1 and the very last port is 1/12/8.

Slot Configuration

By default, the slots of the M4300-96X are configured as empty slots, that is, as slots in which

no port cards are installed. None of the slots are preconfigured. For information about

configuring slots, see Configure and View Information About Slots and Port Cards on

page 44.

PoE Operation and Configuration

The PoE feature supports port cards in the slots of switch model M4300-96X:

• When you start switch model M4300-96 with APM408P PoE port cards already installed,

the switch initializes these port cards for PoE operation. Any existing configurations for the slots is automatically applied. Therefore, PoE is operational immediately after the switch completes its startup process.

• When you install one or more APM408P PoE port cards while switch model M4300-96 is

operating, the switch detects these modules, initializes them, and automatically apples any existing configurations for the slots.

• When you remove one or more APM408P PoE port cards while switch model M4300-96

is operating, the switch detects the absence of these port cards and automatically adjusts the configuration.

Power management enhances PoE functionality through the following features:

• Priority-based dynamic power management

• Automatic power rebalancing to meet the PoE power demand if system power is limited

• Automatic detection of insertion and removal of a power supply unit (PSU) and automatic

recalculation of the available power

PoE firmware updates occur on a slot basis (that is, for each APM408P port card).

For more information about PoE, see Configure Power over Ethernet on page 114.

M4300 and M4300-96X Fully Managed Stackable Switches User Manual

Understanding the User Interfaces

The switch software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

• Local browser–based management interface (in this manual referred to as the local

browser interface), either over an Ethernet network port or over the out-of-band (OOB) port (also referred to as the service port)

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

• Command-line interface (CLI)

Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the components of the switch The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.

This manual describes how to use the local browser interface to manage and monitor the system.

Local Browser Interface Overview

Your switch contains an embedded web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. The switch functions as a simple switch without the management software. However, you can use the management software to configure more advanced features that can improve switch efficiency and overall network performance.

The local browser interface is a web-based management tool that lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using a standard web browser. From your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as VLANs, QoS, and ACLs, by using the local browser interface.

Software Requirements for Using the Local Browser Interface

To access the switch by using a web browser, the browser must meet the following software requirements:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 or 11

• Microsoft Edge 25

• Google Chrome 44 or 45

• Mozilla Firefox 40 or 40.6.01

• Apple Safari on OS X 9.0

Note: Other and later versions might work too but were not tested.

The Device View is based on HTML version 5.
