GigaFast’s EE2400-S is a v
fe
VLAN and Trunking a
panel of the EE2400-S. The actual Console configurations are done by using
any standard terminal software. To increase the versatility of the EE2400-S
a large network environment, GigaFast engineers have developed an Auto
Uplink Detect feature that detects if the connected client is another switch, hub,
NIC or router. If so, the EE2400-S will automatically make the client port an
uplink port. When connecting the EE2400-S to a network, just plug it in, an
the EE2400-S will do all the rest, making it a fully Plug-and-Play solution to
networking. With VLAN, Trunking, and Auto Uplink features, the EE2400-S
provides all the bandwidth and versatility required to build a modern day
high-speed network.

2.2 Port Setup
Now we are in the Switch setup MAIN MENU:
Now press 1, then the screen will be as follow:
13

At this menu, the user will be able to enable/disable the auto-negotiation,
ollow the direction in the setup menu to setup the configuration of the
bandwidth and half/full duplex mode for each port. If the auto-negotiation is
disabled, users can set the connection speed, full/half duplex of the connection
ports. The default setting is auto-negotiation enable.

Once a port is done setting up, the menu will display the new settings as
follow:
15

2.3 VLAN Setup
If you want to setup the VLAN function in the 24-port switch, press 2 at the
MAIN MENU where it says “VLAN Setup”. At this screen, the user will be
able to freely add or remove ports from VLAN groups. For example, now we
will try to add port 2 into VLAN group 2. In order to do so, first we will press 2
in the Enter Port Number area. Then 2 again in the enter VLAN ID Number
area. And finally, “A” in Add or Remove area.
There will only 4 VLAN groups allowed. It will be up to the user to decide
which port goes into which VLAN group. It is also allowed to have identical
ports to be multiple VLAN groups. If any change is made, the screen will
refresh and display the new configuration. In this case, VLAN2 should have
both port 1 and port 2.
16

Now we will try to remove a port from a VLAN group. Press 1in the Enter
Port Number area, then press 1in the Enter VLAN ID Number, and finally Rin
the Add or Remove area.
17

As the result, now port 1 is removed from VLAN1 just like the screenshot
below.
2.4 Trunking Setup
To use trunking function in this 24-port switch, press 3 at the MAIN MENU
where it says “Trunking Setup”. By enabling trunking function, the VLAN
groups will be forced to a setting of 4 VLAN groups, with port 1,2,3,4,5,6 in
VLAN1, port 7,8,9,10,11,12 in VLAN2, port 13,14,15,16,17,18 in VLAN3, and
port 19,20,21,22,23,24 in VLAN4. Ports 6,7,18,19 will be used as the
trunking ports. Users will have the choice of enabling or disabling this
function. However, the default VLAN settings and trunking settings cannot be
changed. Users must use the default setting if they want to use the trunking
function on this Switch.
18

* 4-port trunking provides up to 800 Mbps in Full-Duplex
2.5 Store Setting
Once the user is done configuring this Switch, user must store the new settings
in order for them to take effects. To do this, press 4 at the MAIN MENU where
it says “Store Setting”. The Switch will write the new settings that the users
have specified to the EEPROM that is build-in the Switch.
19

2.6 Load Default Setting/Reset Device
Load Default Setting
In order to load the factory default settings of the Switch, users must press 5 at
the MAIN MENU where it says “Load Default Setting”. Then the Switch will
be set to the original factory default setting.
Reset Device
If the device needs a reset, users can do so by pressing 6 at the MAIN MENU
where it says “Reset Device”. Then the device will automatically reset itself.
