—Priority Settings—Configure switch traffic priority based on MAC address, IP address, or Port.

—Mirroring Configurations—Configure a source port to send a copy of its data to a target port for monitoring and troubleshooting.

—GMRP—Enable and configure GMRP for ports and VLANs

—VLAN Configurations—Set up and administer VLANs on the switch.

—Link Aggregation—Combine ports on the switch to increase bandwidth.

—Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup—Configure IP interfaces, RIP, and multicast routing protocols.

•Save Changes—Save the switch’s current settings in non-volatile RAM (NV_RAM) so that they are not lost when the switch is rebooted.

•Logout—Return to the login screen and close the current user account.

•Reboot—Select which configuration file is used when the switch restarts.

Access to the console is controlled via user accounts. You can create up to six accounts, one of which must be an Admin-level account. The other five accounts can be any combination of Admin-level and User-level accounts.

To create a new user account

1.From the Main Menu, select User Accounts and press Enter.

2.Use the spacebar to toggle the Action field to Add.

3.Enter the new username, assign an initial password, and then confirm the new password. Determine whether the new user should have Admin or User privileges. Use the spacebar to toggle between these options. (The next section describes the differences between these levels.)

The first user you create must be assigned Admin privileges.

4.Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the user addition effective.

A listing of all user accounts and access levels is shown below the user setup menu. This list is updated when Apply is executed.

5.To delete a user, toggle the Action field to Delete, enter the username, highlight APPLY, and press Enter.

You must enter an account’s password to delete it.

6.To modify a user’s password or privileges, toggle the Action field to Update, enter the username, the old password, and then modify the New Password and/or the Access Level fields. Highlight APPLY and press Enter.
