Multicast Tab - Static Member Ports
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
Multicast Tab - Static Member Ports
Multicast filtering can be dynamically configured using IGMP Snooping and IGMP Query messages. For certain
applications that require tighter control, you may need to statically configure a multicast service on the Switch.
First add all the ports attached to participating hosts to a common VLAN, and then assign the multicast service to
that VLAN group.
Specify the interface attached to a multicast service (via an IGMP-enabled switch or multicast router), indicate
the VLAN that will propagate the multicast service, specify the multicast IP address, and click
Add
.
Multicast Tab - Static Router Ports
Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier.
Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface
(port or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the
appropriate interfaces within the Switch.
Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router, indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding
multicast traffic, and then click
Add
.

Multicast Tab - Member Ports Query
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
Multicast Tab - Member Ports Query
You can use the Member Port Query screen to display the ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN and multicast IP address.
Select a VLAN ID and the IP address for a multicast service from the drop-down menus. The Switch will display all
the interfaces that are propagating this multicast service
Multicast Tab - Router Member Ports Query
Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the Switch use information obtained from IGMP to support IP
multicasting across the Internet. These routers may be dynamically discovered by the Switch or statically
assigned to an interface on the Switch.
You can use the Router Port Query screen to display the ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN ID.
Select a VLAN ID from the drop-down menus. The Switch will display all the interfaces that have attached
multicast routers dynamically discovered by the Switch, or those that have been statically assigned to an
interface on the Switch.

Admin Tab - User Authentication
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
Admin Tab - User Authentication
The Switch supports up to 5 user names and passwords for management access (console and web interfaces).
The default user name is “admin” with no password. You should therefore assign a new password for the
“admin” user account and store it in a safe place. The default "admin" account cannot be deleted from the
system.
As well as the default “admin” account, up to five other user-defined accounts can be created on the Switch. To
create a new user account, enter a user name and password up to eight characters long, confirm the password,
and then click
Add
.
To change the password for a specific user, select the user name from the list, enter the new password, confirm
the password by entering it again, and then click
Update
.
User Name.
Displays the user name.
Password.
Specifies the new password. The password is not displayed. As it entered an “*” corresponding to
each character is displayed in the field. (Range: 1-159 characters)
Confirm Password.
Confirms the new password. The password entered into this field must be exactly the same
as the password entered in the Password field.
The Add
button adds the user configuration to the table. The Remove button removes a user configuration from
the table.
Authentication Type.
Defines the user authentication methods. Combinations of all the authentication methods
can be selected. The possible field values are:
Local.
Authenticates the user at the device level. The device checks the user name and password for
authentication.
RADIUS.
Authenticates the user at the RADIUS server.
TACACS+.
Authenticates the user at the TACACS+ server.

Admin Tab - Forwarding Database
Switches store the addresses for all known devices in a forwarding database. This information is used to forward
traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. All the addresses learned by monitoring traffic are
stored in the dynamic address table. You can also manually configure static addresses that are bound to a
specific port.
Address Aging
Sets the aging time for entries in the forwarding database. The aging time is used to age out dynamically learned
forwarding information.
Aging Status
. When enabled, dynamic MAC addresses are discarded after the Aging Interval has expired.
Aging Interval
(secs) (10-1000000). This is the amount of time after which dynamic address table entries are
discarded.
Set the Aging Interval by entering the number of seconds into the text field provided.
Click
Save Settings
to save the changes.
Static Address Setting
A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on the Switch. Static addresses are bound to the
assigned interface and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be
ignored and will not be written to the address table.
Static Address Counts
. The number of manually configured addresses. The Switch allows 1000 Static Address
Counts.
Interface
. Port or LAG associated with the device assigned a static address.
MAC Address
(XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX). Physical address of a device mapped to this interface.
VLAN
. ID of a configured VLAN (1-4094).
Specify the interface, the static MAC address, and VLAN, then click
Add
. The current static addresses on the
Switch are all listed text box. To delete a static MAC address from the forwarding database, select the entry in the
displayed list, then click
Remove
.

Dynamic Address Query
The Switch’s dynamic address table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address for
traffic entering the Switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is found in the database, the packets
intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all
ports.
You can query the forwarding database to find specific dynamic MAC addresses, or view MAC addresses
associated with a specific interface or VLAN.
Dynamic Address Counts
. The number of addresses dynamically learned on the Switch.
Interface
. Indicates to display MAC addresses for a specific port or LAG.
MAC Address
. Indicates to display details for a specific MAC address.
VLAN
. Indicates to display MAC addresses for a specific configured VLAN (1-4094).
Address Table Sort Key
. Sorts the information displayed based on MAC address, VLAN, or interface (port or LAG).
Specify the search type (that is, check the Interface, MAC Address, or VLAN checkbox), select the method of
sorting the displayed addresses, and then click
Query
. The dynamic addresses that conform to the search criteria
are listed in the text box. To delete a MAC address from the forwarding database, select the entry in the displayed
list, then click
Remove
.
Admin Tab - SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol designed specifically for managing
devices on a network. Equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host
computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network environment, as
well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems.Traps indicating status changes are
issued by the Switch to specified trap managers. You must specify trap managers so that key events are reported
by the Switch to your management station (using network management platforms such as HP OpenView). You
can specify up to five management stations that will receive authentication failure messages and other
notification messages from the Switch.
You can add up to five new community strings. Enter a name and select the access rights from the Access Mode
drop-down menu. These strings act as passwords, they are case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long.
Strings can be specified for read-only or read/write access. Once this is entered, click
Add
.
