Chapter 5: Operation of Web-based Management

5. Operation of Web-based Management

This chapter explains how to manage your Gigabit Smart Switch Eco Fanless and how to configure the 10-/100-/1000-Mbps TP Ports and Gigabit SFP Fiber ports on the switch via Web user interfaces. The LGB2118A provides (16) fixed Gigabit Ethernet TP ports and (2) optional SFP ports. The LGB2124A provides (20) fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports and (4) TP/SFP dual-media ports. This enables you to easily access and monitor the status such as MIBs, port activity, and multicast traffic through any ports on the switch.

The default values of the Gigabit Smart Switch Eco Fanless (LGB2118A and LGB2124A) are listed in the table below:

Table 5-1. Default values.

Parameter

Default Value

 

 

IP address

192.168.1.1

 

 

Subnet mask

255.255.255.0

 

 

Default Gateway

192.168.1.254

 

 

Password

admin

 

 

When the configuration of your Gigabit Smart Switch Eco Fanless is finished, you can browse it using the IP address you set up. For instance, type “http://192.168.1.1” in the address row in a browser, then the following screen (see Figure 5-1) will appear and ask for your password input for login and access authentication. The default password is “admin.” For first-time access, enter the default password and click on the “Apply” button. This completes the login process.

The Gigabit Smart Switch supports a simplified user management function that allows only one administrator to configure the switch at one time.

To optimize the display effect, we recommend that you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer (IE) and 1024x768 display resolution.

After login, System Information is displayed (not shown in this manual). This page lists default values and shows you the basic information of the switch, including Switch Status, TP Port Status, Fiber Port Status, Aggregation, VLAN, Mirror, SNMP, and Maximum Packet Length. With this information, you will know the software version, MAC address, ports available, and so on. This will be helpful if a malfunction occurs. For more details, refer to the Page Layout Information section on the next page.
