Switch Installation

Desktop Hardware Installation

The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:

Note: The switch model may be different than the one shown in the example illustrations.

 Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.  Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such

as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

 Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.  Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an

EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

 When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the

bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.

Rack Mount Hardware Installation

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in

a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s

front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.

Note: The switch model may be different than the one shown in the example illustrations.

Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.

Set your IPv6 settings

System > IPv6 System Settings

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to replace IP version 4 (IPv4). The IPv6 address protocol meets the current requirements of new applications and the never ending growth of the Internet. The IPv6 address space makes more addresses available but it must be approached with careful planning. Successful deployment of IPv6 can be achieved with existing IPv4 infrastructures. With proper planning and design, the transition between IP version 4 and 6 is possible today as well.

Use the IPv6 System Settings page to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via all of the switch's front-panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch's network interface do not affect the configuration of the front-panel ports through which traffic is switched or routed.

1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page” on page 7).

2. Click on System, and click on IPv6 System Settings.

3. Review the settings. When you have completed making changes, click Apply to save

the settings.

 IPv6 Status: The IPv6 address for the IPv6 network interface is set in auto

configuration mode if this option is enabled. The default value is Disable. Auto configuration can be enabled only when DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management interfaces.

 DHCPv6 Client: This option only displays when DHCPv6 is enabled.  IPv6 Unicast Address / Prefix Length: The IPv6 Unicast Address is an identifier

for a single interface, on a single node. A packet that is sent to a unicast address is delivered to the interface identified by that address. Add the IPv6 prefix and prefix length to the IPv6 System Settings interface.

 IPv6 Static Gateway: Specifies the corresponding Gateway of the IP address

entered into the field.

 IPv6 Dynamic Gateway: To configure the switch to automatically obtain its IP

configuration from a DHCP server on your network.

 NS Retransmit Time Settings: A constant that defines a nonzero number of

seconds between periodic reauthentication of the client. The field is 1~3600 seconds. The default setting is 1 second.

 Link Local Address Settings: A link-local address is an IPv6 unicast address that

can be automatically configured on any interface using the link-local prefix FE80::/10 (1111 1110 10) and the interface identifier in the modified EUI-64 format. Link-local addresses are used in the neighbor discovery protocol and the stateless autoconfiguration process. Nodes on a local link can use link-local addresses to communicate; the nodes do not need globally unique addresses to communicate. IPv6 devices must not forward packets that have link-local source or destination addresses to other links.

 Automatic Link Local Address: A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not

routable, and can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this entry replaces the address in the configuration.

 Link Local Address/Prefix length: Enter the Link Local Address/Prefix Length.

Enable HTTPS/SSL (Secure Socket Layer) management access

System > SSL

By default, your switch management page can be accessed using standard web HTTP protocol which is unsecure. Enabling HTTPS/SSL management access allows access to the switch management page using secure encrypted communication which prevents unauthorized users from intercepting user name and password credentials. Typically, the switch is accessed within the local network only by system administrators which does not necessarily require additional security. It is recommended to only enable this feature, if allowing switch management access from other networks or over the Internet.

Enable or Disable RMON

System > RMON > Settings

The RMON (Remote MONitoring) MIB is used with SNMP applications to monitor the operations of network devices. The Switch supports the four RMON MIB groups listed here:

 Statistic group— This group is used to view port statistics remotely with SNMP

programs.

 History group— This group is used to collect histories of port statistics to

identify traffic trends or patterns.

 Event group— This group is used with alarms to define the actions of the

switch when packet statistic thresholds are crossed.

 Alarm group—This group is used to create alarms that trigger event log

messages or SNMP traps when statistics thresholds are exceeded.

You can use your SNMP Network Management System (NMS) software and the RMON section of the MIB tree to view the RMON statistics, history and alarms associated with specific ports. Since RMON uses the SNMP agent for communicating with your NMS software, the SNMP Agent must be enabled and the SNMP feature must be configured on your switch. Since RMON works in conjunction with the SNMP agent, the SNMP agent must be enabled for the RMON feature to be active.

1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page” on page 7).

2. Click on System, click on RMON and click on Settings.

Configure parameters for RMON history control settings

System > RMON > History

RMON histories are snapshots of port statistics. They are taken by the switch at predefined intervals and can be used to identify trends or patterns in the numbers or types of ingress packets on the ports on the switch. The snapshots can be viewed with your SNMP NMS software with the history group of the RMON portion of the MIB tree.

A history group is divided into buckets. Each bucket stores one snapshot of statistics of a port. A group can have from 1 to 50 buckets. The more buckets in a group, the more snapshots it can store.

1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page” on page 7).

2. Click on System, click on RMON, and click on History.
