1.1 Introduction

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch. The switch comes in the following models:

 MGS3600-24F 20-port GbE Fiber L2 Switch with Four GbE Combo Ports
 XGS3600-26F 20-port GbE Fiber L2 Switch with Four GbE Combo Ports and Two 10G Fiber Ports
 XGS3600-28F 20-port GbE Fiber L2 Switch with Four GbE Combo Ports and Four 10G Fiber Ports

The switch is a layer-2 standalone Ethernet switch with additional layer-2, layer-3, and layer-4 features suit able for Ethernet s. With it s built-in web
configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator program
on the console port, or third-party SNMP management.

See “Firmware Specifications” on page 11-7 for a full list of software features available on the switch.

1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the switch.

 Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the switch using a (supported) web browser.
 Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the Web Configurator and may be necessary to configure advanced fea-

tures. See the CLI Reference Guide.

 SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See “SNMP” on page 6-23.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Switch

Do the following things regularly to make the switch more secure and to manage the switch more effectively.

 Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and let-

ters.

 Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
 Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).

Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you
will have to reset the switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-con­figure the switch. You could simply restore your last configuration.

WARNING:

DC Power Connection

The switch uses a single ETB series terminal block plug with four pins which allows you to connect up to two separate power supplies. If one
power supply fails the system can operate on the remaining power supply. Use two wires to connect to a single terminal pair, one wire for the pos­itive terminal and one wire for the negative terminal.

When installing the power wire, push it wire firmly into the terminal as deep as possible and make sure that no exposed (bare) wire can be
seen or touched.

Exposed power wire is dangerous. Use extreme care when connecting a DC power source to the device.

To connect a power supply:

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the terminal block captive screws.

2. Connect one end of a power wire to the switch’s RTN (return) pin and tighten the captive screw.

3. Connect the other end of the power wire to the positive terminal on the power supply.

4. Connect one end of a power wire to the switch’s -48V (input) pin and tighten the captive screw.

5. Connect the other end of the power wire to the negative terminal on the power supply.

6. Insert the terminal block plug in the switch’s terminal block header.

5.4 VLANs

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Devices on a logical network belong
to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With VLANs, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the
same group(s); the traffic must first go through a router.

In MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLANs are vital in providing isolation and security among the subscribers. When properly configured,
VLANs prevent one subscriber from accessing the network resources of another on the same LAN, thus a user will not see the printers and hard
disks of another user in the same building.

VLANs also increase network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical broadcast domain. In traditional
switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each and every individual port. With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast
domain.

VLANs are unidirectional; they only govern outgoing traffic.

Use the VLAN sub-menu to configure which ports can communicate with other ports. Use the VLAN Membership sub-menu to add, delete or
modify VLANs.

To configure VLAN membership:

1. Click Configuration > VLAN > VLAN membership.

2. Click Add New VLAN.

3. Configure the parameters.

4. Click Save.

5.5 IP Setup

Use the IP Setup screen to configure the switch IP address, default gateway device, the default domain name server and the management VLAN
ID. The default gateway specifies the IP address of the default gateway (next hop) for outgoing traffic.

5.5.1 Management IP Addresses

The switch needs an IP address for it to be managed over the network. The factory default static IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask
specifies the network number portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Inband configuration applies to non­management ports and outband configuration applies only to the management port.

The switch gets its management IPv4 configuration via DHCP by default. If there is no DHCP server, the switch uses the static IP configuration.
To set the IPv4 configuration:

1. Click System > IP > IPv4.

2. Specify the IPv4 settings, and enable the DNS Proxy service if required.

3. Click Save.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

DHCP Client Use this check box to enable or disable the DHCP client. If DHCP fails and the configured

IP address is zero, DHCP will retry. If DHCP fails and the configured IP address is non­zero, DHCP will stop and the static IP settings will be used. The DHCP client will

announce the configured System Name as host name to provide DNS lookup.
IP Address Use this field to set the management IPv4 address of this switch.
IP Mask Use this field to set the IPv4 mask of this switch.
IP Gateway Use this field to set the IPv4 address of the default gateway.

VLAN ID Use this field to set the management VLAN ID. The allowed range is 1 to 4095.
DNS Server Use this field to set the IPv4 address of the DNS Server.
DNS Proxy Use this check box to enable or disable the DNS Proxy. When DNS Proxy is enabled the

device appears as a DNS resolver to DNS clients connected to the device. Only valid

DNS requests are relayed to the DNS server on behalf of DNS clients connected to the

device. This helps to protect DNS clients against attack.

Table 5-5: Configuration > Port > Configuration

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Port This field shows the port number for this row.
Link This field shows the current link state. Green indicates the link is up and red that it is

down.
Current Link Speed This field shows the current link speed.
Configured Link Speed Use this drop-down box to select a fixed link speed.
Flow Control Check the Configured column to use pause frames for flow control. The Current Rx col-

umn indicates whether pause frames on the port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column

indicates whether pause frames on the port are transmitted. If the configured link speed is

auto, the current Rx and Tx fields show the flow control capabilities of the link partner. If

the configured link speed is fixed, the current Rx and Tx fields reflect that setting. The cur-

rent Rx and Tx settings are determined by the result of the last Auto-Negotiation. Flow

control is not possible for half duplex (HDX) link speeds.
Maximum Frame Size Use this field to configure the maximum frame size, including Frame Check Sequence

(FCS) allowed for the port.
Excessive Collision Mode Use this drop-down box to configure port transmit collision behavior. Possible collision

modes are:

 Discard: Discard frame after 16 collisions (default).

 Restart: Restart backoff algorithm after 16 collisions.
