Restoring the Factory Default Settings

If necessary, the switch settings can be reset to their factory default values; however, the network configuration and port type settings are retained.

To restore the factory default configuration:

1.From the Restore Configuration to Factory Default section, click Restore. A message box appears confirming the request.

2.Click OK to restore the factory default configuration and reset the switch.

One-Step Zoning

Zoning allows ports to be divided into multiple virtual zones (or work groups), similar to Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN). By separating activity on the network, zoning also eliminates change notification propagation (change notifications that occur within one zone cannot propagate to other zones.)

Use zoning to:

•Separate different operating system environments.

•Temporarily block or grant access during backup or other tasks.

•Consolidate equipment logically.

•Designate closed user groups for increased security.

•Separate test or maintenance areas from production areas.

Zone configuration settings are available on the Web Manager’s One-Step Zoning page. The page is arranged as a grid of check boxes for placing ports in appropriate zones. Ports are listed across the top of the grid. Zones are listed down the left side. Similar to other Web Manager pages, the port color represents the current port status.
