Configuring the Switch

2

24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Ggabt Swtch wth WebVew and Power over Ethernet

To use port security, specify a maximum number of
addresses to allow on the port and then let the Switch
dynamically learn the <source MAC address, VLAN>
pair for frames received on the port . When the port has
reached the maximum number of MAC addresses the
selected port will stop learning . The MAC addresses
already in the address table will be retained and will not
age out . Any other device that attempts to use the port
will be prevented from accessing the Switch .

Set the action to take when an invalid address is detected
on a port, mark the checkbox in the Status column to
enable security for a port, set the maximum number of
MAC addresses allowed on a port . Click Save Changes to
save the changes .

Security > HTTPS Settings

You can configure the Switch to enable the Secure
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over the Secure
Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure access (that is, an
encrypted connection) to the Switch’s web interface .

Security > HTTPS Settings

To enable HTTPS, check the HTTPS Status checkbox and
specify the port number .

Click Save Settngs to save the changes .

Security > Management ACL

Security > Management ACL

You can create a list of up to 16 IP addresses or IP address
groups that are allowed access to the Switch through the
web interface, SNMP, or Telnet .

The management interfaces are open to all IP addresses
by default . Once you add an entry to a filter list, access
to that interface is restricted to the specified addresses .
If anyone tries to access a management interface on the
Switch from an invalid address, the Switch will reject the
connection, enter an event message in the system log,
and send a trap message to the trap manager .

IP addresses can be configured for SNMP, web and Telnet
access . Each of these groups can include up to five
different sets of addresses, either individual addresses or
address ranges . When entering addresses for the same
group (i .e ., SNMP, web or Telnet), the Switch will not accept
overlapping address ranges . When entering addresses
for different groups, the Switch will accept overlapping
address ranges .

You cannot delete an individual address from a specified
range . You must delete the entire range, and reenter
the addresses . You can delete an address range just by
specifying the start address, or by specifying both the
start address and end address .
