1. Getting Started

This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR ProSafe® Managed Switches and
accessing the user interface. This chapter contains the following sections:

• Switch Management Interface on page 10

• Web Access on page 10

• Web Access on page 10

• Understanding the User Interfaces on page 11

• Interface Naming Convention on page 16

Switch Management Interface

NETGEAR ProSafe® Managed Switches contain an embedded Web server and
management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. ProSafe® Managed
Switches function as simple switches 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.

1

Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using
a standard Web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software
products. 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 Web-based management interface.

Web Access

To access the ProSafe® Managed Switches management interface:

• Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.

You must be able to ping the IP address of the ProSafe® Managed Switches management
interface from your administrative system for Web access to be available. If you did not
change the IP address of the switch from the default value, enter 169.254.100.100 into the
address field.

Accessing the switch directly from your Web browser displays the login screen shown below.

Chapter : Getting Started | 10

ProSafe® XSM7224S 10G Managed Stackable Switch Software Administration Manual

Understanding the User Interfaces

ProSafe® Managed Switches software includes a set of comprehensive management
functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

• Web user interface

• 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 ProSafe® Managed Switches software. The method you use to manage
the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.

The ProSafe® Managed Switch Web Management User Manual describes how to use the
Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.

Using the Web Interface

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

• HTML version 4.0, or later

• HTTP version 1.1, or later

• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or later

Use the following procedures to log on to the Web interface:

Using SNMP

The ProSafe® Managed Switches software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and
users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates.

ProSafe® Managed Switches use 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

 Management  System Information Web page,

which is the page that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to
configure an SNMP manager to access the switch.

Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and
encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one
profile that can be created or modified.

To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using
the Web interface:

1. Navigate to the System

 SNMP  SNMPv3  User Configuration page.

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

SHA.

3. To enable encryption, select the DES option in the Encryption Protocol field. Then, enter

an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters in the Encryption Key field.

4. Click Apply.

To access configuration information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, click System

 SNMP 

SNMPv1/v2 and click the page that contains the information to configure.

Time

ProSafe® Managed Switches software 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.
Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. ProSafe® Managed Switches
software operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.

Time sources are established by Stratums. Stratums define the accuracy of the reference
clock. The higher the stratum (where zero is the highest), the more accurate the clock. The
device receives time from stratum 1 and above since it is itself a stratum 2 device.

The following is an example of stratums:

• Stratum 0: A real-time clock is used as the time source, for example, a GPS system.

• Stratum 1: A server that is directly linked to a Stratum 0 time source is used. 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, via NTP, from a
Stratum 1 server.

Information received from SNTP servers is evaluated based on the time level and server
type.

SNTP time definitions are assessed and determined by the following time levels:

• T1: Time at which the original request was sent by the client.

• T2: Time at which the original request was received by the server.

• T3: Time at which the server sent a reply.

• T4: Time at which the client received the server's reply.

The device can poll Unicast server types for the server time.

34 | Chapter : Configuring System Information

ProSafe® XSM7224S 10G Managed Stackable Switch Software Administration Manual

Polling for Unicast information is used for polling a server for which the IP address is known.
SNTP servers that have been configured on the device are the only ones that are polled for
synchronization information. T1 through T4 are used to determine server time. This is the
preferred method for synchronizing device time because it is the most secure method. If this
method is selected, SNTP information is accepted only from SNTP servers defined on the
device using the SNTP Server Configuration page.

The device retrieves synchronization information, either by actively requesting information or
at every poll interval.

SNTP Global Configuration

SNTP stands for Simple Network Time Protocol. As its name suggests, it is a less
complicated version of Network Time Protocol, which is a system for synchronizing the clocks
of networked computer systems, primarily when data transfer is handled via the Internet.

1. Use Client Mode to specify the mode of operation of SNTP Client. An SNTP client may

operate in one of the following modes.

• Disable - SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client nor are

any received SNTP messages processed.

• Unicast - SNTP operates in a point to point fashion. A unicast client sends a request

to a designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can
determine the time and, optionally the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative
to the server.

• Broadcast - SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local

broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address has a
single subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.

Default value is Disable.

2. Use Port to specify the local UDP port to listen for responses/broadcasts. Allowed range is

1 to 65535. Default value is 123.

3. Use Unicast Poll Interval to specify the number of seconds between unicast poll requests

expressed as a power of two when configured in unicast mode. Allowed range is (6 to 10).
Default value is 6.

4. Use Broadcast Poll Interval to specify the number of seconds between broadcast poll

requests expressed as a power of two when configured in broadcast mode. Broadcasts
received prior to the expiry of this interval are discarded. Allowed range is (6 to 10). Default
value is 6.

5. Use Unicast Poll Timeout to specify the number of seconds to wait for an SNTP response

when configured in unicast mode. Allowed range is (1 to 30). Default value is 5.

6. Use Unicast Poll Retry to specify the number of times to retry a request to an SNTP server

after the first time-out before attempting to use the next configured server when configured in
unicast mode. Allowed range is (0 to 10). Default value is 1.

7. When using SNTP/NTP time servers to update the switch's clock, the time data received

from the server is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which is the same as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This may not be the time zone in which the switch is located.

Use Time Zone Name to configure a timezone specifying the number of hours and
optionally the number of minutes difference from UTC with Offset Hours and Offset Minutes.
The time zone can affect the display of the current system time. The default value is UTC.

8. Use Offset Hours to specify the number of hours difference from UTC. See Time Zone Name

(

step 7 previous) for more information. Allowed range is (-24 to 24).The default value is 0.

9. Use Offset Minutes to specify the number of Minutes difference from UTC. See Time Zone

Name (

step 7 previous) for more information. Allowed range is 0 to 59. The default value is 0.

DHCPv6 Server

DHCP is generally used between clients (e.g., hosts) and servers (e.g., routers) for the
purpose of assigning IP addresses, gateways, and other networking definitions such as DNS,
NTP, and/or SIP parameters. However, IPv6 natively provides for auto configuration of IP
addresses through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and the use of Router
Advertisement messages. Thus, the role of DHCPv6 within the network is different than that
of DHCPv4 in that it is less relied upon for IP address assignment.

From the DHCPv6 Server link, you can access the following pages:

• DHCPv6 Server Configuration on page 63

• DHCPv6 Pool Configuration on page 64

This page moves the Primary Management Unit functionality from one unit to another. Upon
execution, the entire stack (including all interfaces in the stack) is unconfiugred and
reconfigured with the configuration on the new Primary Management Unit. After the reload is
complete, all stack management capability must be performed on the new Primary
Management Unit. To preserve the current configuration across a stack move, please save
the current configuration to the nvram before performing the stack move. A stack move
causes all routes and layer 2 addresses to be lost. The administrator is prompted to confirm
the management move.

LLDP

The IEEE 802.1AB-defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), allows stations
on an 802 LAN to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions. This information is
viewed by a network manager to identify system topology and detect bad configurations on
the LAN.

From the LLDP link, you can access the following pages:

• LLDP on page 90

• LLDP-MED on page 97

LLDP is a one-way protocol; there are no request/response sequences. Information is
advertised by stations implementing the transmit function, and is received and processed by
stations implementing the receive function. The transmit and receive functions can be
enabled/disabled separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive are disabled on
all ports. The application is responsible for starting each transmit and receive state machine
appropriately, based on the configured status and operational state of the port.

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an
enhancement to LLDP with the following features:

• Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority, and DiffServ settings),

enabling plug and play networking.

• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.

• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.

• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices

and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions,
serial/asset number).
