Switch Descriptions
The switch provides four multispeed Gigabit Ethernet and four 1G Ethernet RJ-45 copper
ports with one dedicated 10G RJ-45 copper uplink port and one dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink
port that supports 10G and 1G. Two of the four multispeed ports support 5G, 2.5G, and 1G.
The other two multispeed ports support 2.5G and 1G. (The 10G RJ-45 copper uplink port also
supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G.)
The switch models differ in the following ways:
•Model MS510TXPP. This model supports Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) on all four
multispeed ports and four 1G ports so that you can let the switch provide power to
PoE-capable devices such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras.
•Model MS510TXPP. This model can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port,
with a maximum PoE power budget of 180W across all active PoE+ ports.

Switch Management Methods
If you prefer, you can use the switch as a plug-and-play device, so you do not need to set up
a custom configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your other
devices, and you are done.
You can configure the switch and the network, including the ports, the management VLAN,
VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, quality of service (QoS)
for prioritizing traffic, and network security.
You can configure and monitor the switch by using one of the following methods:
•Smart Control Center (SCC). Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the
Smart Control Center (SCC) program, which runs on a Windows-based computer. You
can also download the SCC program from
use a Windows-based computer, get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server
in the network or use an IP scanner utility.

After discovery, you can configure the switch using the local browser–based management
interface, or the SCC program for very basic setup. For more information, see
Switch on page 14 and the SCC user manual, which you can download from
downloadcenter.netgear.com.
•Local browser–based management interface. This manual describes how to use the
local browser–based management interface, in this manual referred to as the local
browser interface, to manage and monitor the switch. The local browser interface lets you
configure basic and advanced features. For more information, see
page14.

Interface Naming Conventions
The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and
the interface number. The physical ports are Gigabit interfaces and are numbered on the
front panel. You configure the logical interfaces by using the local browser interface.
The following types of ports are supported:
•Ports g1-g4 are Gigabit ports.
•Ports mg5-mg6 are Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports, each of which supports a maximum
speed of 2.5 Gbps.
•Ports mg7-mg8 are Multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports, each of which supports a maximum
speed of 5 Gbps.
•Port xmg9 is a Multi-Gigabit Ethernet port that supports a maximum speed of 10 Gbps.
•Port xg10 is a fiber port in which you can install an SFP+ module.
The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces on the switch.

Access the Switch
For easiest access, we recommend that you connect the switch to a network with a router or
DHCP server that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that
is connected to the same network as the switch (see
DHCP Server on page 14). If your network does not include a DHCP server, you can assign
a static IP address (see Access the Switch On-Network Without a DHCP Server on
page 16).
It is also possible to configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are
using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network, see
Off-Network on page18).
Use one of the following methods to determine or assign the IP address of the switch and
access the switch:
•Determine the DHCP-assigned IP address. DHCP is enabled on the switch by default.
If you connect the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch obtains its network
information automatically. You can use the Smart Control Center to discover the
automatically assigned network information. For more information, see
On-Network With a DHCP Server on page14.
•Assign a static IP address through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the
switch to a network that does not include a DHCP server, or you prefer to assign static
addresses, you can use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to assign a static IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see
On-Network Without a DHCP Server on page16.
•Assign a static IP address from a directly-connected computer. If you do not use the
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch directly
from a computer in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the local
browser interface on the switch. For more information, see
Off-Network on page 18.

Access the Switch On-Network With a DHCP Server
The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the network
(or router that functions as a DHCP server) to assign an IP address to the switch.
When you connect the switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP
address to the switch. Use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to discover the IP address
automatically assigned to the switch.
The SCC program runs on a Windows-based computer which you can download from
downloadcenter.netgear.com. If you do not use a Windows-based computer, get the IP
address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner utility, which
are available free of charge on the Internet.

Access the Switch Off-Network
You can connect to the switch directly from a computer and change the settings by using the
local browser interface of the switch. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239.
The IP address of the computer that you use to access the switch must in the same subnet
as the default IP address of the switch, that is, it must be in the in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.
To assign a static IP address to the switch off-network from a directly-connected

Configure an SNTP Server
SNTP assures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond.
Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. The switch operates only as
an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.
Time sources are established by strata. Strata 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 strata:
•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, through 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 that the original request was sent by the client.
•T2. Time that the original request was received by the server.
•T3. Time that the server sent a reply.
•T4. Time that the client received the server's reply.
Configure System Information User Manual35
Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
The device can poll unicast server types for the server time.
Polling for unicast information is used for polling a server for which the IP address is known.
SNTP servers that were 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.
You can view and modify information for adding and modifying Simple Network Time Protocol
SNTP servers.

value is IPv4.
7. In the Address field, specify the IP address or the host name of the SNTP server.
Unicast SNTP requests are sent to this address. If this address is a DNS host name, then
that host name is resolved into an IP address each time an SNTP request is sent to it.
8. If the UDP port on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent is not the standard
port (123), specify the port number in the Port field.
The valid range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 123.

Configure Power over Ethernet
Note: This section applies to model MS510TXPP only.
A Power over Ethernet (PoE) device is a type of power sourcing equipment (PSE) that
delivers electrical power to connected powered devices (PDs) over existing Ethernet cables
without interfering with the network traffic.
From the System > PoE menu, you can access pages that are described in the following
sections:
•PoE Overview on page 53
•Device Class Power Requirements on page 54
•Power Allocation and Power Budget on page 54
•Configure the Global PoE Settings on page 56
•Manage and View the PoE Port Configuration on page 57
PoE Overview
Model MS510TXPP supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) on ports
1–8 with a maximum PoE power budget of 180W across all active PoE+ ports. You can
globally specify the following:
•Limit port power based on the PD class or on user settings.
•Allow detection of both standards (802.3af and 802.3at)–based and legacy
(pre-standard)–based PDs.
•Allow detection only of standard-based PDs.
•Enable or disable PoE related traps.
The power limit of a port is based on the global setting of the power limit type. If the power
limit type is based on the PD class, the port limit is based on the class that is advertised by
the PD attached to the port. If the power limit type is based on the user settings, the port limit
is based on the maximum power limit that you configure for the port (the default is 30W).
On a per-port basis, you can enable or disable PoE and configure priority settings, timers,
and power limits. Doing so allows you to manage the power supplied to the connected PDs
and to ensure that the power budget is used effectively.
By default, supplied power is prioritized on the switch in ascending port order, up to the total
power budget of the switch. If the power requirements for the attached PDs exceed the total
power budget of the switch, the power to the device on the highest-numbered PoE+ port is
disabled to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered
PoE+ ports are supported first.
Configure System Information User Manual53
Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
Note: Although a device is listed as an 802.3at (PoE+) powered or 802.3af
(PoE) powered device, it might not require the maximum power limit
that is specified. Many devices require less power, allowing all eight
PoE ports to be active simultaneously, when the devices correctly
report their PoE class to the switch.
Device Class Power Requirements
PoE and PoE+ use Ethernet cables to supply power to PoE-capable devices on the network,
such as WiFi access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and switches. The switch is compliant
with the IEEE 802.3at standard (PoE+) and backward compatible with the IEEE 802.3af
standard (PoE). The switch can pass power through to any powered device (PD) that
supports these standards. PoE and PoE+ let you power such devices without the need for a
separate power supply.
The switch supports a Plug-and-Play process by which it detects the type of device that is
connected to one of its PoE+ ports and whether that device needs power and how much so
that the switch can provide the correct power the device.
During the Plug-and-Play process, the connected device can provide its Class response to
the switch in many ways, depending on how the vendor programmed the device.
The following table shows the device classes for PoE+ devices adhering
to the IEEE 802.3at
standard. The device classes for PoE devices adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard are
identical with the exception that Device Class 4 is not supported.

Power Allocation and Power Budget
The switch is a smart switch in that it can allocate the required power to a connected device
by using a prioritization scheme: By default, power is supplied in ascending port order (that is,
lower port numbers are served first) until the power budget is consumed and insufficient
power remains to allocate to the next device. When less than 7W of PoE power is available
Configure System Information User Manual54
Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
on a port, the port PoE LED lights yellow, and the attached device does not receive power
from the port. However, the switch continues to send data through the port connection.
The switch is also a smart switch in that it can override the IEEE power classification of a
powered device (PD): If the PD consumes less power than required by its power
classification, the switch provides only the power that the PD consumes instead of the power
that is required by the PD’s power classification.
If some PoE+ ports are in use and deliver power, you can calculate the available power
budget for the other PoE+ ports by subtracting the consumed (that is, delivered power) from
total available power budget. (For information about the total available power budget, see
the
PoE Overview on page53.)
An example:
Port 1 delivers 4.4W to a PD. The available power budget is 175.6W (180W–4.4W).
Another example:
A Class 4 PD is attached to Port 1, a Class 2 PD to Port 2, and another Class 4 PD to Port 3.
However, the PDs consume less power than defined by their classes: The PD attached to
Port 1 consumes 7.3W, the PD attached to Port 2 consumes 4.7W, and the PD attached to
Port 3 consumes 8.9W. So even though the switch provides power to two Class 4 devices
and one Class 3 device, the available power budget is 159.1W (180W–7.3–4.7–8.9W).

Configure 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 System > LLDP > Advanced menu, you can access pages that are described in
the following sections:
•Configure LLDP Global Settings on page 67
Configure System Information User Manual66
Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
•Configure LLDP Port Settings on page 68
•LLDP-MED Network Policy on page 70
•LLDP-MED Port Settings on page 71
•Local Information on page 72
•Neighbors Information on page 74
LLDP is a one-way protocol without any 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 or 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:
•Autodiscovery 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).
Configure LLDP Global Settings
Use the LLDP Configuration page to specify the global LLDP and LLDP-MED parameters
that are applied to the switch.
To configure global LLDP settings:

•LLDP Status. Enable or disable the LLDP feature.
•Forward LLDP PDUs while LLDP Disabled. Enable or disable this feature.
If you select the Enable radio button for this feature but the LLDP Status Disable
radio button is selected, LLDP PDUs are flooded to all ports. By default, this setting is
disabled, which means that LLDP PDUs are dropped if the LLDP Status Disable radio
button is selected.
•TLV Advertised Interval. The number of seconds between transmissions of LLDP
advertisements.
•Hold Multiplier. The transmit interval multiplier value, where transmit hold multiplier x
transmit interval = the time to live (TTL) value that the device advertises to neighbors.
•Re-initializing Delay. The number of seconds to wait before attempting to re-initialize
LLDP on a port after the LLDP operating mode on the port changes.
•Transmit Delay. The minimum number of seconds to wait between transmissions of
remote data change notifications to one or more SNMP trap receivers configured on
the switch.
7. To configure a nondefault value for LLDP-MED, enter a value in the Fast Start Duration
field.
This value sets the number of LLDP packets sent when the LLDP-MED fast start
mechanism is initialized, which occurs when a new endpoint device links with the
LLDP-MED network connectivity device.

Configure DHCP Snooping
DHCP snooping is a useful feature that provides security by filtering untrusted DHCP
messages and by building and maintaining a DHCP snooping binding table. An untrusted
message is a message that is received from outside the network or firewall and that can
cause traffic attacks within your network. The DHCP snooping binding table contains the
MAC address, IP address, lease time, binding type, VLAN number, and interface information
that corresponds to the local untrusted interfaces of a switch. An untrusted interface is an
interface that is configured to receive messages from outside the network or firewall. A
trusted interface is an interface that is configured to receive only messages from within the
network.
DHCP snooping acts like a firewall between untrusted hosts and DHCP servers. It also
provides way to differentiate between untrusted interfaces connected to the end user and
trusted interfaces connected to the DHCP server or another switch.

Configure IEEE 802.3x Global Flow Control
Flow control helps to prevent data loss when the port cannot keep up with the number of
frames being switched. When flow control is enabled, the switch can send a pause frame to
stop traffic on a port if the amount of memory used by the packets on the port exceeds a
preconfigured threshold and responds to pause requests from partner devices.
The paused port does not forward packets for the period of time specified in the pause frame.
When the pause frame time elapses, or the utilization returns to a specified low threshold, the
switch enables the port to again transmit frames.

sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default
becomes a member of the default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1).
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols. A static port channel interface does not require a partner
system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither
transmits nor receives LACPDUs. The switch supports 8 LAGs.

Configure VLANs
Adding virtual LAN (VLAN) support to a Layer 2 switch offers 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, and 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, users can be
grouped by logical function instead of physical location.
Configure Switching User Manual96
Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
Each VLAN in a network is assigned an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE
802.1Q tag in the Layer 2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. An end station can omit
the tag, or 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. A given port can handle
traffic for more than one VLAN, but it can support only one default VLAN ID.
You can define VLAN groups that are placed in the VLAN membership table. The switch
supports up to 256 VLANs (with a VLAN ID from 1–4093). VLAN 1 is the default VLAN of
which all ports are members.
From the Switching > VLAN > Advanced menu, you can access pages that are described
in the following sections:
•Configure VLAN Settings on page 97
•Configure VLAN Membership on page 99
•View VLAN Status on page 101
•Configure Port PVID Settings on page 102

Add a VLAN
To add a VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The VLAN Configuration page displays. The page also shows the Reset section.
6. In the VLAN ID field, specify the VLAN identifier for the new VLAN.
The range of the VLAN ID can be from 2 to 4093. VLAN ID 1 is reserved for the default
VLAN.
7. In the VLAN Name field, specify a name for the VLAN.
The VLAN name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including blanks. The
default is blank. VLAN ID 1 always uses the name Default.
8. The VLAN Type field displays the type of the VLAN that you are configuring.
You cannot change the type of the default VLAN (VLAN ID = 1): it is always type Default.
When you create a VLAN using this page, its type is always Static. A VLAN that is created
by GVRP registration initially uses a type of Dynamic. When configuring a dynamic
VLAN, you can change its type to Static.
9. Click the Add button.
The VLAN is added to the switch.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
