24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with Webview and Power over Ethernet
Chapter 5: Configuring the Switch through the Web Utility
Overview
Open your web browser and enter
192.168.1.254
into the address field. Press the
Enter
key and the Password
screen will appear. The first time you open the Web-Based Utility, use the default username
admin
, and leave the
password blank. Click the
OK
button. You can set a new password later from the
Security
tab’s
System Password
screen
.
The first screen that appears displays the System Description screen for the Sys.Info tab. There are 14 tabs that
run across the top of the screen: Sys.Info, IP Conf, Switch Conf., QoS, DiffServ, Security, SNTP, Statistics, PoE,
Spanning Tree, SNMP, IGMP, Maintenance and Help. Each tab contains further screens, described in this chapter,
to help you configure and manage the Switch.
NOTE:
The default IP address is 192.168.1.254. If the IP address has been
changed using DHCP or the console interface, enter the assigned IP address.

System Information
24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with Webview and Power over Ethernet
System Mode
The System Mode screen displays the following information.
Jumbo Frames
. Shows if jumbo frames are enabled.
This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential data transfers by supporting jumbo frames up
to 9216 bytes. Compared to standard Ethernet frames that run only up to 1.5 KB, using jumbo frames significantly
reduces the per-packet overhead required to process protocol encapsulation fields.
To use jumbo frames, both the source and destination end nodes (such as a computer or server) must support
this feature. Also, when the connection is operating at full duplex, all switches in the network between the two
end nodes must be able to accept the extended frame size. And for half-duplex connections, all devices in the
collision domain would need to support jumbo frames.
Enabling jumbo frames will limit the maximum threshold for broadcast storm control to 64 packets per second.
The current setting for jumbo frames can be displayed with the show system command.
Use the drop-down menu to
Enable
or
Disable
the transmitting and receiving of Jumbo Frames for this switch.

Forwarding Database
The Forwarding Database screen displays the following information.
Aging Status. This feature, when enabled, discards dynamic MAC addresses after a set amount of time.
Aging Interval
. 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
Submit
to save the changes.
To query a Dynamic IP address click on the Dynamic address icon.
To query a Static IP address click on the Static address icon.
Address Table Settings
Switches store the addresses for all known devices. This information is used to pass 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.
