Default settings after start-

Once the switch has started successfully, installation is complete and

up

the switch is using its default setting (also known as default configu-

 

ration):

 

• All ports are enabled.

 

• Spanning Tree is disabled on all ports.

 

• Addresses that have been silent for more than 15 minutes are

 

purged from the switch’s address table (the MAC Address Aging

 

time).

 

• No access restrictions to Local Management (Telnet).

 

• No SNMP restrictions.

 

• No permanent MAC address entries defined. A permanent entry

 

is a MAC address that is defined as being permitted only on a

 

certain port. This can be a useful security feature.

 

• All ports are in the same VLAN (named <System>) and VLAN

 

mode (Stand-alone mode). VLANs allow you to create virtual

 

networks using specific switch ports, IP addresses, IP subnets

 

and MAC addresses.

 

• Flow Control is enabled on all ports.

 

• The connection with Local Management is timed-out after 10

 

minutes if there has been no input during this period.

After start-up

This default configuration is adequate for simple workgroup environ-

 

ments to operate in basic switching mode.

 

Although the switch continues to operate without problems, we rec-

 

ommend that you change certain parameters to suit your own require-

 

ments.

 

Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to change the configuration

 

while the switch is operating.
