The information is described as follows:

Parameter

Description

Device Type

A description of the switch type.

MAC Address

The Ethernet address for the device. Also known as the physical address.

Get IP From

There are three choices for how the switch receives its IP Address settings:

Manual

,

BOOTP

, and

DHCP

.

IP Address

The host address for the device on the TCP/IP network.

VLAN Name

The VLAN name. The switch includes a pre-configured VLAN named “default.”

Subnet Mask

The address mask that controls subnetting on your TCP/IP network.

Default Gateway

The IP address of the device—usually a router—that handles connections to other

subnets and/or other TCP/IP networks.

Boot PROM Version

Version number for the firmware chip. This information is needed for new runtime

software downloads.

Firmware Version

Version number of the firmware installed on the switch. This can be updated by using

the Download Firmware from TFTP Server window in the TFTP Services folder (

Basic

Setup

→

Switch Utilities

).

Hardware Version

Version of the switch hardware.

Name

A user-assigned name for the switch.

Location

A user-assigned description for the physical location of the switch.

Contact

Name of the person to contact should there be any problems or questions with the

system. You may also want to include a phone number or extension.

Spanning Tree

This indicates if Spanning Tree is enabled on the switch. The switch’s global STP

settings can be changed on the STP Switch Settings window (

Advanced Setup

→

Spanning Tree

).

GVRP

This indicates if Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is enabled on the switch.

GVRP is a protocol that allows members to dynamically join VLANs. The switch’s

GVRP settings can be changed on the Switch GVRP window (

Advanced Setup

→

VLAN Configurations

→

Switch GVRP

).

IGMP Snooping

This indicates if Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is enabled on

the switch. When enabled, this feature instructs the switch to read IGMP packets being

forwarded through the switch in order to obtain forwarding information from them (learn

which ports contain Multicast members). The switch’s IGMP snooping state can be

changed on the IGMP Snooping State window (

Advanced Setup

→

Multicast

Configuration

→

IGMP Snooping Global

).

SSH

This indicates if the Secure Shell protocol is currently enabled on the switch.

TELNET

This indicates if a Telnet connection is currently enabled on the switch.

WEB

This indicates if the Web manager is currently enabled on the switch.

RMON

This indicates if RMON is enabled on the switch.

Basic Switch Setup

Figure 6- 2.

Basic Switch Setup window

This window is used to enter name, location, and contact information, as well as to determine whether the switch should get

its IP Address settings from the user (

Manual

), a

BOOTP

server, or a

DHCP

server. If you are not using either BOOTP or

DHCP, enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the switch. If you enable BOOTP, you do not need to

configure any IP parameters because a BOOTP server automatically assigns IP configuration parameters to the switch. If

you enable DHCP, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol request will be sent when the switch is powered up. Once you

have selected a setting under Get IP From, click

Apply

to activate the new settings.

The information is described as follows:
