Chapter 1 Operation of Web-based Management
Initial Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure and manage the SM24T6DPA via the web user
interface. With this facility, you can easily configure and monitor, via any switch port, all
of the switch functions (e.g., port activity, Spanning tree, port aggregation, multicast
traffic, VLAN and priority, etc.).
The SM24T6DPA default values are listed below:
IP Address
192.168.1.77
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
192.168.1.254
Username
admin
Password
admin
After the SM24T6DPA initial interface configuration is done, type http://192.168.1.77 in
the address row in a browser. The Login screen displays and asks you to enter a username
and password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username is admin and password is admin. For first time use, enter the
default username and password, and then click the Login button. The login process is
completed.
You must enter the complete username and password respectively; the SM24T6DPA will
not give you a shortcut to the username automatically.
If two or more SM24T6DPA users are using administrator’s identity to manage the switch,
only the administrator to do the last config setting will be able to configure the switch.
NOTE: When you login to the SM24T6DPA via the Web UI, you can use IPv4 or IPv6
login to manage.
NOTE: The SM24T6DPA by default the DHCP function enabled, so If you do not have a
DHCP server to provide IP addresses to the switch, the switch default ip is 192.168.1.77

Chapter 2 System Configuration
This chapter describes the basic configuration tasks (System Information and Time,
Account, IP, Syslog and NTP).
2-1 System
Here you can identify the system by configuring the contact information, name, and
location of the switch, and enable or disable Bonjour Discovery.
2-1.1 Information
Provide the switch system’s contact information here.
Web interface
To configure System Information in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, System, and Information.
2. Enter System Contact, System Name, and System Location information.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 2-1.1: System Information
Parameter descriptions:
System Contact: The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node,
together with information on how to contact this person. The allowed string length is 0 to
128, and the allowed content is ASCII characters from 32 to 126.
System name: An administratively assigned name for this managed node. By convention,
this is the node's fully-qualified domain name. A domain name is a text string drawn from
the alphabet (A-Za-z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-). No space characters are permitted as
part of a name. The first character must be an alpha character. And the first or last
character must not be a minus sign. The allowed string length is 0 to 128.
System Location: The physical location of this node (e.g., telephone closet, 3rd floor). The
allowed string length is 0 to 128, and the allowed content is ASCII characters from 32 to
126.

33665 Rev. C www.transition.com/ Page 8 of 288
2-1.2 IP
The IPv4 address for the switch can be obtained via DHCP Server for VLAN 1.
To manually configure an address, you must change the switch's default settings to
values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to establish a
default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another
network segment.
Configure the switch-managed IP information on this page. Configure IP basic
settings, control IP interfaces and IP routes. The maximum number of interfaces
supported is 8 and the maximum number of routes is 32.
Web Interface
To configure an IP address in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, System, IP.
2. Click Add Interface then you can create new Interface on the switch.
3. Click Add Route then you can create new Route on the switch
4. Click Apply.
Figure2-1.2: IP configuration
Parameter descriptions:
IP Configuration
Mode: Configure whether the IP stack should act as a Host or a Router. In Host mode, IP
traffic between interfaces will not be routed. In Router mode, traffic is routed between all
interfaces.
DNS Server: This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. The
following modes are supported:
From any DHCP interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a DHCP lease to a
DHCP-enabled interface will be used.
No DNS server: No DNS server will be used.
Configured: Explicitly provide the IP address of the DNS Server in dotted decimal
notation.
Transition Networks SM24T6DPA Web User Guide
33665 Rev. C www.transition.com/ Page 9 of 288
From this DHCP interface: Specify from which DHCP-enabled interface a
provided DNS server should be preferred.
DNS Proxy: When DNS proxy is enabled, system will relay DNS requests to the currently
configured DNS server, and reply as a DNS resolver to the client devices on the network.
IP Interfaces
DHCP Per Port Mode: Enable or Disable DHCP per port. The default is Disabled.
DHCP Per Port IP: Define the IP range for DHCP per port.
Delete: Select this option to delete an existing IP interface.
VLAN: The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN will be able to
access the IP interface. This field is only available for input when creating a new interface.
IPv4 DHCP Enabled: Enable the DHCP client by checking this box. If this option is enabled,
the system will configure the IPv4 address and mask of the interface using the DHCP
protocol. The DHCP client will announce the configured System Name as hostname to
provide DNS lookup.
IPv4 DHCP Fallback Timeout: The number of seconds to try to obtain a DHCP lease.
After this period expires, a configured IPv4 address will be used as IPv4 interface address.
A value of zero disables the fallback mechanism, such that DHCP will keep retrying until a
valid lease is obtained. Legal values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
IPv4 DHCP Current Lease: For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column shows
the current interface address, as provided by the DHCP server.
IPv4 Address: The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation.
If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may also be left blank if IPv4 operation
on the interface is not desired.
IPv4 Mask: The IPv4 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are 0
- 30 bits for an IPv4 address.
If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may also be left blank if IPv4 operation
on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Address: The IPv6 address of the interface. An IPv6 address is in 128-bit records
represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each
field (:). For example, fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that can
be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but
it can appear only once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For
example, ::192.1.2.34.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Mask: The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are 1
- 128 bits for an IPv6 address. The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface
is not desired.
IP Routes
Delete: Select this option to delete an existing IP route.
Network: The destination IP network or host address of this route. Valid format is dotted
decimal notation or a valid IPv6 notation. A default route can use the value 0.0.0.0 or IPv6 ::
notation.
Mask Length: The destination IP network or host mask, in number of bits (prefix length).
It defines how much of a network address that must match, in order to qualify for this route.
Valid values are 0 - 32 bits for IPv4 or 128 bits for IPv6 routes. Only a default route will have
a mask length of 0 (as it will match anything).
Gateway: The IP address of the IP gateway. Valid format is dotted decimal notation or a
valid IPv6 notation. Gateway and Network must be of the same type.
Next Hop VLAN (Only for IPv6): The VLAN ID (VID) of the specific IPv6 interface
associated with the gateway.
The given VID ranges from 1 to 4094 and will be effective only when the corresponding IPv6
interface is valid.
If the IPv6 gateway address is link-local, it must specify the next hop VLAN for the gateway.

2-1.3 NTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to sync the network time to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). If you use NTP mode and select a built-in NTP time server or manually
specify an NTP server as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short
after you click the Apply button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically,
NTP does not update the time periodically without user processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You must select the time zone first and then
perform time sync via NTP because the switch will combine this time zone offset and
updated NTP time to come out the local time, otherwise, you will not able to get the
correct time. The switch supports configurable time zones from 12 to +13 in 1 hour
steps.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Web Interface
To configure NTP in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, System, NTP.
2. Specify the Time parameter in manual parameters.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 2-1.3: NTP Configuration
Parameter descriptions:
Mode: Indicates the NTP mode operation. Possible modes are:
Enabled: Enable NTP client mode operation.
Disabled: Disable NTP client mode operation.
Server 1 to 5: Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the NTP server. An IPv6 address is in
128-bit records represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon
separating each field (:). For example, 'fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol '::' is a
special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups
of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear once. You can also enter a valid IPv4 address
(e.g., '::192.1.2.34').

2-1.5 System Log
Syslog is a standard for logging program messages. It allows separation of the software that
generates messages from the system that stores them and the software that reports and
analyzes them. It supports generalized informational, analysis and debugging messages. It is
supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms.
Web Interface
To configure system logging in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, System and log.
2. Specify the syslog parameters include IP Address of Syslog server and Port number.
3. Select the Syslog to enable it.
4. Click Apply.
Figure2-1.5: System Log Configuration
Parameter descriptions:
Server Mode: Sets the server mode of operation. When the mode is enabled, the syslog
message is sent to the syslog server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP communication
and received on UDP port 514 and the syslog server will not send acknowledgments back to
the sender since UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does not provide acknowledgments.
The syslog packet is always sent out even if the syslog server does not exist. Possible
modes are:
Enabled: Enable server mode operation.
Disabled: Disable server mode operation.
Server Address: Indicates the IPv4 hosts address of syslog server. If the switch supports
DNS, it also can be a host name.

2-2 Green Ethernet
EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a power saving option that reduces the power usage when
there is low or no traffic utilization.
EEE works by powering down circuits when there is no traffic. When a port gets data to be
transmitted all circuits are powered up. The time it takes to power up the circuits is named
wakeup time. The default wakeup time is 17 us for 1Gbit links and 30 us for other link speeds.
EEE devices must agree upon the value of the wakeup time in order to make sure that both the
receiving and transmitting device has all circuits powered up when traffic is transmitted. The
devices can exchange wakeup time information using the LLDP protocol.
EEE works for ports in auto-negotiation mode, where the port is negotiated to either 1G or 100
Mbps full duplex mode. For ports that are not EEE-capable the corresponding EEE checkboxes
are grayed out and thus impossible to enable EEE for.
When a port is powered down for saving power, outgoing traffic is stored in a buffer until the port
is powered up again. Because there are some overhead in turning the port down and up, more
power can be saved if the traffic can be buffered up until a large burst of traffic can be transmitted.
Buffering traffic will give some latency in the traffic.
Web Interface
To configure a Port Power Saving Configuration in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, Green Ethernet.
2. Select to enable or disable the ActiPHY, Perfect Reach, EEE and EEE Urgent Queues.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 2-2.1: Port Power Savings Configuration
Parameter descriptions:
Optimize EEE for: The switch can be set to optimize EEE for either best power saving or
least traffic latency.
Port: The switch port number of the logical port.
ActiPHY: Link down power savings enabled. ActiPHY works by lowering the power for a
port when there is no link. The port is powered up briefly to determine if cable is inserted.
PerfectReach: Cable length power savings enabled. PerfectReach works by determining
the cable length and lowering the power for ports with short cables.
Transition Networks SM24T6DPA Web User Guide
33665 Rev. C www.transition.com/ Page 15 of 288
EEE: Controls whether EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is enabled for this switch port.
For maximizing power savings, the circuit isn't started at once transmit data is ready for a
port, but is instead queued until a burst of data is ready to be transmitted. This will give
some traffic latency.
If desired, it is possible to minimize the latency for specific frames, by mapping the frames
to a specific queue (done with QOS), and then mark the queue as an urgent queue. When
an urgent queue gets data to be transmitted, the circuits will be powered up at once and the
latency will be reduced to the wakeup time.
2-3 Ports Configuration
The section describes how to configure the Port detail parameters of the switch, enable or
disable the switch ports, and Monitor the ports content or status.
2-3.1 Ports
This page displays current port configurations. Ports can also be configured here.
Web Interface
To configure a Current Port Configuration in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, Ports Configuration, and Ports.
2. Specify the Speed Configured, Flow Control, Maximum Frame size, Excessive Collision
mode and Power Control.
3. Click Apply.

Parameter descriptions:
Port: This is the logical port number for this row.
Link: The current link state is displayed graphically. Green indicates the link is up and red
that it is down.
Current Link Speed: Provides the current link speed of the port.
Configured Link Speed: Selects any available link speed for the given switch port. Only
speeds supported by the specific port are shown. Possible speed settings are:
Disabled - Disables the switch port operation.
Auto - Port auto negotiating speed with the link partner and selects the highest speed
that is compatible with the link partner.
10Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps half-duplex mode.
10Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 10Mbps full duplex mode.
100Mbps HDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps half-duplex mode.
100Mbps FDX - Forces the cu port in 100Mbps full duplex mode.
Transition Networks SM24T6DPA Web User Guide
33665 Rev. C www.transition.com/ Page 19 of 288
1Gbps FDX - Forces the port in 1Gbps full duplex
2.5Gbps FDX - Forces the Serdes port in 2.5Gbps full duplex mode.
SFP_Auto_AMS - Automatically determines the speed of the SFP. Note: There is no
standardized way to do SFP auto detect, so here it is done by reading the SFP rom. Due
to the missing standardized way of doing SFP auto detect some SFPs might not be
detectable. The port is set in AMS mode. Cu port is set in Auto mode.
100-FX - SFP port in 100-FX speed. Cu port disabled.
100-FX_AMS - Port in AMS mode. SFP port in 100-FX speed. Cu port in Auto mode.
1000-X - SFP port in 1000-X speed. Cu port disabled.
1000-X_AMS - Port in AMS mode. SFP port in 1000-X speed. Cu port in Auto mode.
Ports in AMS mode with 1000-X speed has Cu port preferred. Ports in AMS mode with
100-FX speed has fiber port preferred.
Flow Control : When Auto Speed is selected on a port, this section indicates the flow
control capability that is advertised to the link partner. When a fixed-speed setting is
selected, that is what is used. The Current Rx column indicates whether pause frames on
the port are obeyed, and the Current Tx column indicates whether pause frames on the port
are transmitted. The Rx and Tx settings are determined by the result of the last
Auto-Negotiation.
Check the configured column to use flow control. This setting is related to the setting for
Configured Link Speed.
Maximum Frame Size: Enter the maximum frame size allowed for the switch port,
including FCS.
Excessive Collision Mode: Configure port transmit collision behavior.
Discard: Discard frame after 16 collisions (default).
Restart: Restart backoff algorithm after 16 collisions.
