3.Operation of Web-based Management

This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the switch through the web user interface it supports, to access and manage the 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps TP and 16-Port Gigabit SFP Fiber management Ethernet switch. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.

The default values of the managed switch are listed in the table below:

Table 3-1

After the managed switch has been finished configuration in the CLI via the switch’s serial interface, you can browse it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser, it will show the following screen (see Fig.3-1) and ask you inputting username and password in order to login and access authentication. The default username and password are both “admin”. For the first time to use, please enter the default username and password, then click the <Login> button. The login process now is completed.

Just click the link of “Forget Password” in WebUI (See Fig. 3-1) or input “Ctrl+Z” in CLI’s login screen (See Fig. 4-1~4-2) in case the user forgets the manager’s password. Then, the system will display a serial No. for the user. Write down this serial No. and contact your vendor, the vendor will give you a temporary password. Use this new password as ID and Password, and it will allow the user to login the system with manager authority temporarily. Due to the limit of this new password, the user only can login the system one time, therefore, please modify your password immediately after you login in the system successfully.

In this login menu, you have to input the complete username and password respectively, the switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This looks inconvenient, but safer.

KGS-2416 specifications

KTI Networks KGS-2416 is a sophisticated Ethernet switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. This device is particularly ideal for enterprises requiring robust performance for an expanding network infrastructure. With 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 2 gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) uplink ports, the KGS-2416 provides ample connectivity options suitable for a variety of applications, including servers, workstations, and other network devices.

One of the standout features of the KGS-2416 is its support for Layer 2 switching, which enhances data traffic management by enabling the configuration of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). This capability allows network administrators to segment traffic and improve overall network performance and security. The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing for up to 4096 VLANs to be configured, thus ensuring flexible network design and management.

Additionally, the KGS-2416 supports advanced traffic management features such as Quality of Service (QoS). This technology prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted service for voice, video, and data applications. With support for multiple QoS standards, administrators can tailor the performance of their networks based on their specific needs.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is another significant feature of the KGS-2416, allowing users to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to powered devices. This capability simplifies wiring and reduces the need for additional power supplies, making it an ideal solution for deploying IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

The switch is designed with an intuitive user interface that makes configuration and management hassle-free. It can be managed through both web-based GUI and command-line interface (CLI), providing flexibility for various administrative preferences. Moreover, the device supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for seamless integration into existing network management systems.

In terms of reliability, the KGS-2416 boasts features like redundant power supply options and a fanless design for silent operation. This makes it a reliable choice for environments where noise and downtime must be minimized. Overall, the KTI Networks KGS-2416 is an excellent choice for organizations looking for a feature-rich, reliable, and efficient Ethernet switch to power their networking needs.
