1. Overview
About this Guide
This user guide provides instructions to manage, control and monitor the switch using the Simple Network
Manager.
This guide is intended for operating personnel (sometimes called craft persons). Users must be familiar
with the basic operations of a Layer 2 switch. Access to the hardware interface is by a computer with a
telnet terminal.
About the Simple Network Manager
The Simple Network Manager provides you with a simple and intuitive tool to manage, control and
monitor the switch. Most operations can be performed with a click of the mouse. The Simple Network
Manager also includes a command line interface for managing the switch.
The Simple Network Manager is divided into five main pages:
System Provides an overview of the system, key system statistics and control of downlink ports. See
"About the System Page" on page 3.
Ethernet Provides switch configuration and management as well as uplink and downlink port
management. See "About the Ethernet Page" on page 11.
VLAN Allows users to view, establish and assign VLANs. See "About the VLAN Page" on page 17.
Admin Allows users to setup, configure and manage the switch, enable services, view detailed log
activities and configure the switch using a command line interface. See "About the Admin
Page" on page 25.
Help Opens the online help system.
Browser Requirements
The Simple Network Manager supports the following web browsers:
•Google Chrome™ version 21 and higher
•Mozilla Firefox® version 16 and higher

1. OVERVIEW
Software Version
Phybridge NVT PoLRE Switch User Guide
Software Version
The current version of the switch software is 3.1.5.
Logging into the Switch
Access to in-band management is through the gigabit uplink ports. All switches have the same default
username and password of admin.
1. Open Google Chrome™ or Mozilla Firefox®.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch in the address bar. (The default IP address of the switch is
192.168.100.1.)
3. Enter admin as the username.
4. Enter the password (the default password is admin).
Managing Multiple Switches
When managing multiple switches through the Simple Network Manager, each switch is shown as a
separate browser window or tab. The window/tab title contains the switch hostname, allowing you to
easily identify each switch.
Each tab title is composed of:
1. Hostname of the switch
2. Currently active page on the switch.
