IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway Username Password
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254 admin 1234
After the XGS3600 Series has bee n finished configur a tion the it interface, you can browse it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the addre ss row in a browser, it will show the following screen and ask you inputting username and password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username is “admin” and password is 1234. For the first time to use, please enter the default u sername and password, and then click the <Login> button. The login process now is completed. In this login menu, you have to input the complete username and password
respectively, the username automatically. This looks inconvenient,
In the XGS3600 Series, it supports a simple user management function allowing only one administrator to configure the system at the same time. If there are two or more users using administrator’s identity, it will allow the only one who logins first to configure the system. The rest of users, even with administrator’s identity, can o nly monitor the system. For those who have no adm inist rator ’s ide ntity, can o nly mo nitor t he sy stem. There are only a maximum of three users able to login simultaneously in the

2-4 IP

IP is an acronym f or Internet Pr otocol. It is a protoco l used f or comm unicating da ta across an internet network.
IP is a "best effort" s ystem, which means t hat no pac ket of inf ormation sent over i s as s ured t o reach its destination in the same condition it was sent. Each device connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) or W ide Area Network (WAN) is given an Internet Protoco l address, and this IP address is used to ident ify the device uniquely among all other devices connected to t he extended network.
The current version of the Internet protocol is IPv4, which has 32-bits Internet Protocol addresses allowing for in excess of four billion unique addresses. This number is reduced drastically by the pr actice of webmas ters taking addresses in large blocks, the bulk of which remain unused. Ther e is a rather s u bs tantial movement to adop t a n e w vers ion of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, which would have 128-bits Int ernet Protocol addresses . This number can be represented roughly by a three with thirty-nine zeroes after it. However, IPv4 is still the protocol of choice for most of the Internet.

2-4.1 IPV4

The IPv4 address f or th e sw itch co uld b e obtained via DHCP Server for VLAN 1. To manually configure an address, you need to change the switch's default settings to values that are compatible with your net work.

2-6 SNMP

Any Network Managem ent System (NMS) run ning the Simple Ne twork Management Protoco l (SNMP) can manage the Managed devices equipped with SNMP agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the managed devices. The SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between SNMP manager and agent and tra verses th e Obj ect Identi ty (OID) of the m anagem ent Inform ation Base (MIB), described in the for m of SMI syntax. SNM P agent is running on the switc h to response the request issued by SNMP manager.
Basically, it is passive except issuing the trap information. The switch supports a switch to turn on or off the SNMP agent. If you set t he field SNMP “Enab le”, SNM P agent w ill be started up. All supported MIB OIDs , including RMON MIB, can be acc essed via SNMP manager. If the field SNMP is set “Disable ”, SNMP agent w ill be de-activated, the related Com munity Name, Trap Host IP Address, Trap and all MIB counters will be ignored.

3-2 ACL

The XGS3600 Series switch ac cess control list (ACL ) is probably the m ost commonly used object in the IOS. It is used for packet filtering but also for selecting types of traffic to be analyzed, forwarded, or inf l uenc ed in some way. The ACLs are divided into EtherTypes. IPv4, ARP protocol, MAC and VLAN param eters etc. Here we will jus t go over the standard and extended access lists for TCP/IP. As you create ACEs for ingress classification, you can assign a policy for each port, the policy number is 1-8, however, each po licy can be appli ed to any port. This mak es it very easy to determ ine what type of ACL policy you will be work ing with.

3-3 Aggregation

The Aggregation is used to conf igure the settings of Link Aggregat ion. You can bund le more than one port with t he sam e speed, f ull duplex and th e sam e MAC to be a single lo gical por t, thus the logical port ag greg ates the band width of thes e ports . This m eans you can appl y your current Ethernet equi pment’s to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if there are three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this logical port has bandwidth three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port has.

3-3.1 Static Trunk

The Aggregation Conf iguration is used to c onfigur e the settings of Link Aggregati on. You ca n bundle more than one por t w ith t he same speed, full duplex an d th e s ame MAC to be a single logical port, thus th e logical port aggregates th e bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your current Ethernet equipment’s to build the bandwidth aggregation.
3-3.1.1 Static Trunk
Ports using Static Tr unk as their trunk method can c ho os e the ir uni que Sta tic G ro upID to form a logic “trunked por t”. The benef it of usin g Static T runk method is that a port can imm ediately become a mem ber of a trunk group witho ut an y handshak ing with it s peer port. This is also a disadvantage because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know that they should be aggregate togeth er to form a “logic trunk ed port”. Using Static T runk on both end of a link is strongly recomm ended. Please also note that lo w speed links will stay in “not r eady” state when using static trunk to aggregate with high speed links.

3-4 Spanning Tree

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an ST P-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
STP - STP uses a distribu ted algorithm to select a b ridging device (STP- co mpliant switch, bridge or router) that ser ves as the root of the s panning tree ne twork . It selects a root port o n each bridging device (except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that device to the root de vice. Then it selects a des ignated bridging device from each LAN which incurs t he lowest path c ost when forwardi ng a packet from that LAN to the root device. A ll ports connected to designated bridging de vices are assigned as designated ports. After determining the lowes t c ost spanning tree, it ena bl es a ll r oot por ts a nd designated ports, and disables all other ports. Network packets are ther efore only forwarde d between root ports and designated ports, eliminating any possible network loops.
Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data U nits ) tr ans mitted from the Root Br idge. If a br idge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Maximum Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the Root Bridge is down. This bridge wil l then init iate negot iations with other bridges t o reconf igure the network to reestablish a valid network topology.

Due to the reason that you need t o set the list of VLANs mapped to the MST I. The VLANs must be separated with co mma and/or space. A VLAN can only be mapped to one MSTI. An unused MSTI should just be left empty. (I.e. not having any VLANs mapped to it.)
This section describes it allows the user to inspect the current STP MSTI bridge instance priority configurations, and possibly change them as well.

Parameter description:
Port :
The switch port number of the logical STP port.
STP Enabled :
Controls whether STP is enabled on this switch port.
Path Cost :
Controls the path cost incurred by the port. The Auto setting will set the path cost as appropriate by the physical link speed, using the 802.1D recommended values. Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The path cost is used when establishing the active topology of the network. Lower path cost ports are chosen as forwarding ports in favour of higher path cost ports. Valid values are in the range 1 to 200000000.
Priority :
Controls the p ort priority. This can be used to control priority of p orts having identical port cost. (See above).
operEdge (state flag) :
Operational flag describing whether the port is connecting directly to edge devices. (No Bridges attached). Transition to the forwarding state is faster for edge ports (having operEdge true) than for other ports.The value of this flag is based on AdminEdge and AutoEdge fields. This flag is displayed as Edge in Monitor->Spanning Tree -> STP Detailed Bridge Status.
AdminEdge :
Controls wh ether the oper Edge flag shoul d start as set or cleared. (T he initial operEdge state when a port is initialized).
AutoEdge :
Controls whether the bridge should enable automatic edge detection on the bridge port. This allows operEdge to be derived from whether BPDU's are received on the port or not.
Restricted Role :
If enabled, ca uses the port not t o be select ed as Root Port for t he CIS T or any MSTI, even if it has the best spanning tree priority vector. Such a port will be selected as an Alternat e Port after the Root Port has b een selected. If set, it can cause lack of spanning tree connectivity. It can be set by a network administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network influence the spanning tree active topology, possibly because those bridges are not under the full control of the administrator. This feature is also known as Root Guard.
Restricted TCN :
If enabled, causes the port not to propagate received topology change notifications and topology changes to other ports. If set it can cause temporary loss of connectivity after changes in a spanning tree's active topology as a result of persistently incorrect learned station location information. It is set by a network administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network, causing address flushing in that region, possibly because those bridges are n ot under the full control of the administrator or the physical link state of the attached LANs trans its frequently.
BPDU Guard :
If enabled, causes the port to disable itself upon receiving valid BPDU's. Contrary to the similar bridge setting, the port Edge status does not affect this setting. A port ent eri n g erro r-disabled state due to this setting is subject to the
XGS3600 Series User's Guide

bridge Port Error Recovery setting as well.
Point to Point
Controls whether the port connects to a point-to-point LAN rather than to a shared medi um. Thi s can be aut omatical ly determi ned, or fo rced eith er true or false. Transition to the forwarding state is faster for point-to-point LANs than for shared media.
