Flow Control: This setting determines if the Switch handles flow control. Set to Enable to avoid data transfer overflows. Default setting for all ports is Disable.

Link Status: Reporting Down indicates the port is disconnected.

Priority: Displays each port’s 802.1P QoS priority level for received data packet handling. Default setting for all ports is Middle.

NOTE: The priority of Gigabit Fiber ports are by default higher than Copper ports.

System > SNMP Setting

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential problems in the Switch or LAN.

Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.

Community Setting: In support of SNMP version 1, the Web-Smart Switch accomplishes user authentication by using Community Settings that function as passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the Switch SNMP must use the same community
