2.6 Rack- Mount Placement
Before mounting the Switch, please read the following instructions carefully,
Elevated
Operating
Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Reduced Air
Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.
Mechanical
Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Circuit
Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable
Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(e.g. use of power strips)."
To mount the Switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack, please
follow these instructions:
Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.
Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with the supplied
screws. Then attach the other bracket to the other side. (Figure 2.6.1)
Figure 2.6.1

14
Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the Switch.
Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brackets to
your rack. (Figure 2.6.2)
Figure 2.6.2

3. Configuration
The configuration programs are supplied with the SP6824P Switch. Unlike the
unmanaged switch (dumb switch), the switch performs "management"
functions that make the switch operate more effectively. This Chapter will
describe the use of the switch Management Configuration program.
Preparing for configuration
SP6824P Management Switch offers a console CLI interface for switch
configuration and management. Users can use this interface to perform the
activities such as configuring DHCP, ARP, assigning IP address and
upgrading firmware etc.
There are four methods to manage your switch:
Local Console
Management You can manage the switch locally by connecting the switch to a PC
or workstation with terminal emulation software using the serial port.
Remote Console
Management You can manage the switch by having a remote host establish a
Telnet connection to the switch via an Ethernet or modem link.
SNMP Management
You can manage the switch across a LAN using a SNMP Network
Management Station with a graphical user interface. Note that to use
this management method, your network must use the IP protocol
and your switch must be configured on the Network with a proper IP
address. You may use any of the following method to manage the
switch.
Web-Browser You can manage the switch through a web connection by connecting
to the switch’s IP address using your web browser.
This User Guide provides instructions on how to configure the switch using the
console interface. Read the following sections to start up:
Connecting a PC or Terminal
to the RS-232 Port
When you are ready to configure the Management
Function of the switch, make sure you have connected the
supplied RS-232 serial cable to the RS-232 port at the front
panel of your switch and your PC.
Terminal Emulation Setup
Program
Run a terminal emulation program with the following
setting. yEmulation: VT-100 compatible
yBaud per second: 38400
yData bits: 8
yParity: None
yStop bits: 1
yFlow Control: None
Logging on to the switch
Enter the factory default user name “admin” with no
password when logging on to the switch. The password is
set to be empty. If you can enter “?” on the command line
screen, it will display all items so that you can configure by
your requirements.

16
3.1 Web-based configuration
The Switch provides a Web-based interface for configuring and managing the
Switch. This interface allows you to access the switch using the Web browser
of your choice. This chapter describes how to use the switch’s Web browser
interface to configure and manage the switch.
Logging on the switch
To log on to the Switch:
Step 1. In your web browser, specify the IP address of the switch. Default IP
address is 192.168.1.254.
Step 2. Enter the factory default “admin “to login on the Switch with no
password. Refer to the figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1

3-1-1. System Information
3-1-2. Network Management
IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the switch.
Without the proper setting, network manager will not be able to manage or
view the device. The switch supports both manual IP address setting and
automatic IP address setting via DHCP server. When IP address is changed,
you must reboot the switch to have the setting taken effect and use the new IP
to browse for web management and CLI management.
Function name:
Network Management
Function description:
Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for the switch.
3-1-3. Time Configuration
The switch provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via
NTP. Manual setting is simple and you just input “Year”, “Month”, “Day”, “Hour”,
“Minute” and “Second” within the valid value range indicated in each item. If
you input an invalid value, for example, 61 in minute, the switch will clamp the
figure to 59.
Function name:
Time
Function description:
Set the system time by manual input or set it by syncing from Time servers.
The function also supports daylight saving for different area’s time adjustment.

18
3-2-1. Port Configuration
Port Configuration is applied to change the setting of each port. In this
configuration function, you can set/reset the following functions.
3-2-2. LACP property
The Port Trunking Configuration is used to configure the settings of Link
Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full
duplex and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port
aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your
current Ethernet equipments to build the bandwidth aggregation. For
example, if there are three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port,
then this logical port has bandwidth three times as high as a single Fast
Ethernet port has.
The switch supports two kinds of port trunking methods:
LACP:
Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad

19
specification) as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP GroupID
(1~8) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using LACP is that a port
makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a ready member of a
“trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer than the other trunking
method - static trunk.
The switch LACP does not support the followings:
Link Aggregation across switches
Aggregation with non-IEEE 802.3 MAC link
Operating in half-duplex mode
Aggregate the ports with different data rates
Static Trunk:
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique Static
GroupID (also 1~8, this Static groupID can be the same with another LACP
groupID) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static Trunk
method is that a port can immediately become a member of a trunk group
without any handshaking with its peer port. This is also a disadvantage
because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know that they
should be aggregate together to form a “logic trunked port”. Using Static Trunk
on both end of a link is strongly recommended. Please also note that low
speed links will stay in “not ready” state when using static trunk to aggregate
with high speed links.
As to system restrictions about the port aggregation function on the switch,
In the management point of view, the switch supports maximum 8 trunk groups
for LACP and additional 8 trunk groups for Static Trunk. But in the system
capability view, only 8 “real trunked” groups are supported. An LACP trunk
group with more than one ready member-ports is a “real trunked” group. An
LACP trunk group with only one or less than one ready member-ports is not a
“real trunked” group. Any Static trunk group is a “real trunked” group.
