Chapter Introduction
Chapter 4 System This module is used to configure system properties of the switch.
Here mainly introduces:
System Info: Configure the description, system time and
network parameters of the switch.
User Management: Configure the user name and password for
users to manage the switch with a certain access level.
System Tools: Manage the configuration file of the switch.
Access Security: Provide different security measures for the
user to enhance the configuration management security.
Chapter 5 Stack This module is used to configure the stack properties of the
switch. Here mainly introduces:
Stack Info: View the detailed information of the stack.
Stack Config: Configure the current stack.
Switch Renumber: Configure the stack member’s unit ID.
Chapter 6 Switching This module is used to configure basic functions of the switch.
Here mainly introduces:
Port: Configure the basic features for the port.
LAG: Configure Link Aggregation Group. LAG is to combine a
number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data
path.
Traffic Monitor: Monitor the traffic of each port
MAC Address: Configure the address table of the switch.
Chapter 7 VLAN This module is used to configure VLANs to control broadcast in
LANs. Here mainly introduces:
802.1Q VLAN: Configure port-based VLAN.
MAC VLAN: Configure MAC-based VLAN without changing
the 802.1Q VLAN configuration.
Protocol VLAN: Create VLANs in application layer to make
some special data transmitted in the specified VLAN.
VLAN VPN: VLAN VPN allows the packets with VLAN tags of
private networks to be encapsulated with VLAN tags of public
networks at the network access terminal of the Internet Service
Provider.
GVRP: GVRP allows the switch to automatically add or remove
the VLANs via the dynamic VLAN registration information and
propagate the local VLAN registration information to other
switches, without having to individually configure each VLAN.
Private VLAN: Designed to save VLAN resources of uplink
devices and decrease broadcast. Private VLAN mainly used in
campus or enterprise networks to achieve user layer-2separation and to save VLAN resources of uplink devices.
3
Chapter Introduction
Chapter 8 Spanning Tree This module is used to configure spanning tree function of the
switch. Here mainly introduces:
STP Config: Configure and view the global settings of
spanning tree function.
Port Config: Configure CIST parameters of ports.
MSTP Instance: Configure MSTP instances.
STP Security: Configure protection function to prevent devices
from any malicious attack against STP features.
Chapter 9 Multicast This module is used to configure multicast function of the switch.
Here mainly introduces:
IGMP Snooping: Configure global parameters of IGMP
Snooping function, port properties, VLAN and multicast VLAN.
Multicast IP: Configure multicast IP table.
Multicast Filter: Configure multicast filter feature to restrict
users ordering multicast programs.
Packet Statistics: View the multicast data traffic on each port of
the switch, which facilitates you to monitor the IGMP messages
in the network.
Querier: Configure the switch to act as an IGMP Snooping
Querier.
Chapter 10 Routing The module is used to configure several IPv4 unicast routing
protocols. Here mainly introduces:
Interface: Configure and view different types of interfaces:
VLAN, loopback and routed port.
Routing table: Displays the routing information summary.
Static Routing: Configure and view static routes.
DHCP Server: Configure the DHCP feature to assign IP
parameters to specified devices.
DHCP Relay: Configure the DHCP relay feature.
Proxy ARP: Configure the Proxy ARP feature to enable hosts
on the same network but isolated at layer 2 to communicate
with each other.
ARP: Displays the ARP information.
RIP: Configure the RIP feature. RIP is an interior gateway
protocol using UDP data packets to exchange routing
information.
OSPF: Configure the Open Shortest Path protocol.
VRRP: Configure the Virtual Router Redundant Protocol.
Chapter 11 Multicast Routing This module is used to configure several multicast routing
protocols for multicast data forwarding. Here mainly introduces:
Global Config:
IGMP: Configure the IGMP features.
PIM DM: Configure the PIM DM features.
PIM SM: Configure the PIM SM features.
Static Mroute: Configure the static multicast routing features.

Chapter Introduction
Chapter 12 QoS This module is used to configure QoS function to provide different
quality of service for various network applications and
requirements. Here mainly introduces:
DiffServ: Configure priorities, port priority, 802.1P priority and
DSCP priority.
Bandwidth Control: Configure rate limit feature to control the
traffic rate on each port; configure storm control feature to filter
broadcast, multicast and UL frame in the network.
Voice VLAN: Configure voice VLAN to transmit voice data
stream within the specified VLAN so as to ensure the
