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

an user-defined NTP server as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short after
pressing <Apply> button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does not update
the time periodically without user’s processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone first and then perform
time sync via NTP because the s witch will combine this tim e zone offset and updated NTP
time to come out the loca l t i me, otherwise, you will not able to get the correct time. The switch
supports configurable time zone from –12 to +13 step 1 hour.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.

the device. Bu t others valu e need to refer t o each group privileg e level. User's
privileg e should be sam e or great er than th e group pri vilege level to have the
access of that group. By defaul t setting, m ost groups p rivilege l evel 5 has th e
read-only access and privilege level 10 has the read-write access. And the
system maintenance (software upload, factory defaults and etc.) need user
privilege level 15. Generally, the privilege level 15 can be used for an

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. You may also need to a establish a default gate way between
the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.

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.
2-6.1 System
This section describes how to configure SNM P System on the switch. This function is used
to configure SNMP settings, community name, trap host and public traps as well as the
throttle of SNMP. A SNMP manager must pass the authentication by identifying both
community names, then it can access the MIB information of the target device. So, both
parties must have the same community name. Once completing the setting, click <Apply>
button, the setting takes effect.

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.

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

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.
