Configuring the Switch

Description  Allows you to describe an interface..

Flow Control  Click the checkbox to enable flow control..

Autonegotiation  Click the checkbox to enable autonegotiation..

LAG Broadcast Control  You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for all LAGs.. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped..

Status  Click the checkbox to enable LAG Broadcast Control..

Threshold  Set the threshold for the LAG, click apply.. Delete  To delete a LAG, click the Delete button..

Port Management > LACP

Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery.. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link between the Switch and another network device.. For static LAGs, the switches have to comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard.. For dynamic LAGs, the switches have to comply with LACP.. This Switch supports up to four LAGs.. For example, a LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex..

To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP..

Port Management > LACP

Set Port Actor  This menu sets the local side of an aggregate link; that is, the ports on this Switch..

Set the System Priority, Port Priority and LACP Timeout for the Port Actor  After you have completed setting the port LACP parameters, click Save Settings..

Port Management > PoE Power Settings

Global Setting

Power Allocation (37-180) watts  If a device is connected to a Switch port and the Switch detects that it requires more than the power budget of the port, no power is supplied to the device (that is, port power remains off)..

If the power demand from devices connected to the Switch ports exceeds the power budget set for the Switch, the port power priority settings are used to control the supplied power..

Mark the Enabled checkbox to enable PoE power on selected ports, set the priority using the drop-down menu provided and set the power allocation for each port..

Port Setting

Port  Displays the port number..

Admin Status  Check the checkbox to enable PoE power to be supplied to the connected device..

Priority  Set the priority ofthe supplyusingthe dropdown menu..

Power Allocation (3000-15400 milliwatts)  Set the maximum power that can be supplied to the port..

Mode  Displays whether the connected PoE device is on or off..

Power Consumption (milliwatts)  Displays the power currently being used by the connected PoE device..

Click Save Settings to save the changes..
