4.1 The system global configuration
Global configuration for switch system is mainly to set switch network parameters (IP address, subnet mask,
gateway), user name and password, the Console and the maximum idle time of Web Console, the MAC address
table aging time, VLAN configuration mode and the parameters of VLAN and SNMP management of the switch
management, etc
System information
Including switch MAC address, such as software version and hardware version of basic information
Password Setting
In order to protect the switch’s setting security, only with right password users to be able to login to
the management interface of switch for configuration management. The password for the administrator can
be set , the default password is admin.
Switch IP address and VLAN ID management
SW-GE1008F switch can be manually set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
Obtain an IP address if the DHCP is enabled, manual set doesn't work. Factory switches
default IP address is 192.168.10.1, mask is 255.255.255.0.When using, please according to
the actual situation of their network to reset these parameters. Switch management VLAN ID
is switch CPU’s. So based on 802.1QVLAN,the management of PC connected port PVID and
managed VLAN ID are the same to manage the switch.
DHCP Function
SW-GE1008F provides obtaining an IP address automatically by DHCP. Default state of the DHCP
function is closed, it can be configured manually switch IP address and subnet mask and default gateway
under the closed position.
================================================================
DHCP function should be paid attention to use
1) Changing the DHCP status (open or closed),a new state to take effect after the switch restart.
2) Switch obtain address information lease from the DHCP is infinite, even if the DHCP server is
configured with limited lease, switch still regard it indefinitely.
The biggest aging time of dynamic address table
Switch always maintain a Dynamic MAC Address Table internally.MAC address also known as physical
address, is the address of the only network nodes, this address is 6 bytes, it identifies a network device from a
local area network (LAN).Dynamic MAC address table has two contents: MAC address and their
corresponding port number. Dynamic address table is updated dynamically, each dynamic address records
have limited service life, the length of life to be controlled by the largest aging time. If the record is not to
learn within the limited life, it will be deleted, this process is called aging. This time we call it "the biggest
aging time", it is measured in seconds. The switch can be set the biggest aging time, set the range of 10 to
65535 seconds, set to 0 means no aging, it is 300 seconds under the default state.
TFTP
This series switches support using the TFTP server to download switch file, downloading and uploading
the configured file. This feature can be closed and opened and it close under default.
