Gigabit Uplink Web Smart Switch
5555 Network Setting
The network module provides the function of setting the switch's IP address, dynamic binding and aging time, configuring static MAC address and filtering MAC address, displaying dynamic bound address and ping.
555555 Network Setting
An IP address is indispensable for a switch to be accessed. The
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol\ is dedicated for the DHCP client to obtain IP configuration information from the DHCP server. Two types of information are included in IP configuration information. One type is specific configuration information, the other is IP address parameter. DHCP is based on
Make sure that a DHCP server is correctly connected to the network so as to activate the DHCP client function of the switch firstly, then the switch will automatically obtain IP address, netmask and default gateway from the DHCP server.
If more than one DHCP servers are available in the network, the switch will choose one according to a specific algorithm.
Note: If no DHCP server is present in the network, the DHCP client fails to get IP configuration information, the switch then restores the IP parameters to default in several minutes to ensure a valid IP address being equipped.
555555 Aging Time and Dynamic Address Table
A dynamic MAC address table is maintained inside the switch. MAC address is the physical address of a network device; it is
A dynamic address table entry contains two items: MAC address and its corresponding switch port. The dynamic address table is volatile. The dynamic address entry begins to age once it has been added; it will be purged if it isn’t renewed in a specified length of time, which is defined as aging time.
The aging time ranges from 0 to 3825 seconds for this switch family.
The default value is 300 seconds. Dynamic address table entry won’t age if 0 is set. The aging time precision is 15 seconds.
