Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The LGB708A switch has eight 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) ports plus two Gigabit SFP
open slots. It’s easy to install and performs well in an environment where traffic is
on the network and the number of users increases continuously. The compact
desktop size was specifically designed for small to medium workgroups. It can be
installed where space is limited; plus, it provides smooth network migration and
easy upgrade to network capacity.
In addition, the switch features QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN,
Port Trunking, Port Security, and IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent
software. Use it for both metro-LAN and office applications.

Chapter 3: Hardware Installation
3. Hardware Installation
Set the switch on a large flat space with a power socket nearby. The flat space
should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there is enough clearance
around the switch to attach cables and power cord, and enable air circulation. Use
twisted pair cable to connect this switch to your PC to enable you to configure
the switch for your application.

4. Software Description
This chapter describes how to set up and manage the switch through the Web
user interface.
1. First, open the Web browser, and go to the 192.168.2.1 site. You will see the
login screen.
2. Type in the password, then click “Apply.” The login process completes and the
“Password successfully entered” message appears.
Login Password: admin

4.1 Configuration
4.1.1 System Configuration
This page shows system configuration information. You can configure the
information shown in Figure 4-3.

Page 15
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Software Description
• MAC Address: Displays the unique hardware address assigned by the
manufacturer (default).
• S/W Version: Displays the switch’s firmware version.
• H/W Version: Displays the switch’s hardware version.
• DHCP Enabled: Click the box to enable DHCP.
• Fallback IP address: Manually assign the IP address that the network is using.
The default IP is 192.168.2.1.
• Fallback Subnet Mask: Assign the subnet mask to the IP address.
• Fallback Gateway: Assign the network gateway for the switch. The default
gateway is 0.0.0.0.
• Management VLAN: ID of a configured VLAN (1–4094) through which you can
manage the switch. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1.
However, if the management VLAN is changed, the management station must
be attached to a port that belongs to this VLAN.
• Name: Type in the new user name (the default value is “admin”).
• Password: Type in the new password (the default value is “admin”).
• SNMP Enabled: Enables or disables SNMP on the switch. Supports SNMP version
1a nd 2c management clients.
• SNMP Trap Destination: IP address of the trap manager to receive notification
messages from this switch. Traps indicating status changes are issued by the
switch to specified trap managers. You must specify trap managers so that key
events are reported by this switch to your management station.
• SNMP Read Community: A community string that acts like a password and
permits access to the SNMP database on this switch. Authorized management
stations are only able to retrieve MIB objects.
• SNMP Trap Community: Community string sent with the notification operation.
4.1.2 Ports
Port Security ensures access to a switch port based on MAC address. This limits
the total number of devices that use a switch port and protects against MAC
flooding attacks.

Page 16 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Software Description
Port Configuration
In Port Configuration, you can set and view the operation mode for each port.
• Enable Jumbo Frames: This switch provides more efficient throughput for large
sequential data transfers by supporting jumbo frames on Gigabit Ethernet ports
up to 9.6 KB. Compared to standard Ethernet frames that run only up to 1.5 KB,
using jumbo frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead required to
process protocol encapsulation fields.
• Power Saving Mode: Adjusts the power provided to ports based on the length
of the cable used to connect to other devices. Only sufficient power is used to
maintain connection requirements.
• Mode: Enables you to manually set the port speed such as Auto, 10-Mbps
half-duplex, 10-Mbps full-duplex, 100-Mbps half-duplex, 100-Mbps full-duplex,
1000-Mbps full-duplex, or disabled. Press the “Apply” button to complete the
configuration procedure.

4.1.3 VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast
domain, which would allow you to isolate network traffic, so only the members of
the same VLAN will receive traffic from the members of the same VLAN. Basically,
creating a VLAN on a switch is logically equivalent to reconnecting a group of
network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network devices are
still plugged into the same switch physically.
Port Segmentation (VLAN) Configuration
• VLAN ID: ID of configured VLAN (1-4094, no leading zeroes).
• VLAN Configuration List: Lists all the current VLAN groups created for this
system. Up to 16 VLAN groups can be defined. VLAN 1 is the default untagged
VLAN.

VLAN Setup
The switch supports up to 16 VLANs based on the 802.1Q standard. From the
VLAN Membership page, you can create and delete VLANs, and change the
VLAN port membership.
Figure 4-7. VLAN setup screen.

Page 20 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 4: Software Description
VLAN Per Port Configuration
The 802.1Q per-port configuration page enables you to change the VLAN
parameters for individual ports or trunks. You can configure VLAN behavior for
specific interfaces, including the accepted frame types and default VLAN identifier
(PVID). Each row of the table corresponds to one port or trunk; trunked ports
cannot be configured individually—configure the trunk instead.
Figure 4-8. VLAN per-port configuration screen.
• Port/Trunk: The port number of the port or the ID of a trunk.
• VLAN Aware Enabled: VLAN aware ports are able to use VLAN tagged frames
to determine the destination VLAN of a frame. (Default: Enabled)
• VLAN aware ports will strip the VLAN tag from received frames and insert the
tag in transmitted frames (except for the PVID). VLAN unaware ports will not
strip the tag from received frames or insert the tag in transmitted frames.
• Ingress Filtering Enabled: If enabled, incoming frames for VLANs that do not
include this ingress port in their member set will be discarded. (Default:
Disabled)
