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.

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.

Use a Web Browser to Access the Switch and Log In

If this is the first time that you log in to the switch and you must use the default IP address of the switch, see the information in the installation guide for your switch and in the M4200 and M4300 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches Software Setup Manual.

You can use a web browser to access the switch and log in. You must be able to ping the IP address of the management interface or out-of-band (OOB) port from your computer for web access to be available.

IMPORTANT:

The procedures in this manual assume that you know the IP address of your switch.

To access the switch over the local browser interface:

1.Launch a web browser.

2.In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens.

3.Enter the user name and password.

The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is, do not enter a password.

4.Click the Login button.

The System Information page displays.

If you click the graphic, but do not click a specific port, the main menu displays. This menu contains the same options as the navigation tabs at the top of the page.

Using SNMP

The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.

The switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a “-” prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB.

SNMP is enabled by default. The System Information page, which is the page that displays when you log in, displays the information that you need to configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.

Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMP v3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, the switch supports only one user, which is admin; therefore, only one profile can be created or modified.

To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMP v3 admin profile:

1.Launch a web browser.

2.In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens.

3.Enter the user name and password.

The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is, do not enter a password.

4.Click the Login button.

The System Information page displays.

5.Select System > SNMP > SNMP v3 > User Configuration. The User Configuration page displays.

25

6.To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option, which is either MD5 or

SHA.

7.To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol list Then enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.

8.Click the APPLY button. Your settings are saved.

Note: To access configuration information for SNMP V1 or SNMP V2, select System > SNMP > SNMPv1/v2 and select the page that contains the information that you want to configure.

Initial Setup

When you log in to a switch that has its factory settings, the Initial Setup page displays.

To perform the initial system configuration:

1.Prepare your computer with a static IP address:

For access over an Ethernet network port, use a static IP address in the 169.254.0.0 subnet with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
