WEB-BASED BROWSER MANAGEMENT

Fallback Subnet Mask: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where XXX ranges from 0 to 255.

Default: 255.255.255.0. Specifies the IP subnet mask of this device. An IP

subnet mask is a 32-bit number that is notated by using four numbers from 0

through 255, separated by periods. Typically, subnet mask numbers use either

0 or 255 as values (e.g., 255.255.255.0), but other numbers can appear.

Fallback Gateway: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where XXX ranges from 0 to 255.

Default: 0.0.0.0. Specifies the default gateway IP address. It is only required

if you intend to manage the device from another LAN connected via an IP router.

The gateway address must be on the same IP subnet as this device.

NOTE: After applying a new IP address, a new login page will automatically

appear. Log in again to proceed to other configurations.

Management VLAN: The number ranges from 1 to 4094. Default: 1. Modify this

parameter with care! It specifies the VLAN through which the switch can be

managed. By default, the switch is programmed to use VLAN 1 for management

and every port on the switch is programmed to use VLAN 1. If you modify a

switch port to use a VLAN other than the management VLAN, devices on that

port will not be able to manage the switch. If you change the management VLAN

without having at least one port that supports the new management VLAN

number, you will lose the ability to contact the management package. The

switch will immediately stop responding to any pings, TFTP, Telnet and Web

sessions from the old management VLAN. For this reason, it’s suggested that

modification of VLAN management information be made early in the switch-

commissioning process, and via the console port.

Name: 16-character ASCII string. Default: admin. The system name can make it

easier to identify the switches within your network provided that all switches are

given a unique name.

Password: 16-character ASCII string. Default: admin. From here, you can modify

the default management password.

Inactivity Timeout (secs): 0 or 60 to 10000. Default: 0. Specifies when

the console will time out and display the login screen if there is no user activity.

A value of zero disables timeouts for console users. For console users, the

maximum timeout value is limited to 10,000 seconds.

SNMP Enabled: Either Enabled or Disabled (default). This parameter enables or

disables SNMP access to the device. The device supports Simple Network

Management Protocol Version 1 and Version 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2), which

provide access to devices over the network.

SNMP Trap Destination: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where XXX ranges from 0 to 255.

Default: 0.0.0.0. This is the IP address of the user’s SNMP management station

if it is configured to receive traps and notifications.

SNMP Read Community: Any 20 characters. Default: public. This parameter

identifies the MIB tree(s) to which this entry authorizes read access.
