Logging In
Please follow the steps to configure this Web Smart switch. The configure procedure is as follows:
Step 1: Use Ethernet Category 5 cable to connect this switch to your PC.
Step 2: Check that your PC has an IP address on the same subnet as the switch. For example, the PC
and the switch are on the same subnet if they both have addresses that start 192.168.1.x. The
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Step 3: Open the browser (like Microsoft Internet Explorer) and go to http:// 192.168.1.1, which is
the switch address, for example. If your PC is properly configured, you will see the login
page like below:
Figure 2: Login Popping Up Window
NOTE: If you do not see the login page, check step 1 & 2.
Step 4: Please key in both the default user name “admin” and the password “admin” to pass the
authentication. After the authentication procedure, the switch can be used now, as the web
home page appears as follows:

14

Hint§
The switch provides five load-balancing methods to distribute a balanced load across all links in a
trunk. The following parameters are displayed on the Trunk Distribution Algorithm Setting:
■Distribution Algorithm Parameters—To ensure the switch traffic load is distributed evenly across
all links in a trunk, the hash methods used in the load-balance calculation can be selected to provide the
best result for trunk connections. The following options are supported:
■ Source Port -All traffic with the same source and destination TCP/UDP port number is output
on the same link in a trunk. Avoid using his mode as a lone option. It may overload a single port
member of the trunk for application traffic of a specific type, such as web browsing. However, it
can be used effectively in combination with the IP Address option.
■ Source MAC -All traffic with the same source MAC address is output on the same link in a
trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the switch is
received from many different hosts.
■ Destination MAC -All traffic with the same destination MAC address is output on the same
link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the
switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-to-router trunk links
where the destination MAC address is the same for all traffic.
■ Source IP -All traffic with the same source and destination IP address is output on the same
link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through the
switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-to-server trunk links
where the destination IP address is the same for all traffic.
■ Destination IP -All traffic with the same source and destination IP address is output on the
same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through
the switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-to-server trunk
links where the destination IP address is the same for all traffic.

Static VLAN Table Setting
The VLAN (virtual local area network) technology is developed for switches to control broadcast
operations in LANs. By creating VLANs in a physical LAN, you can divide the LAN into multiple
logical LANs, each of which has a broadcast domain of its own. Hosts in the same VLAN
communicate with each other as if they are in a LAN. However, hosts in different VLANs cannot
communicate with each other directly. In this way, broadcast packets are confined within a VLAN.
Web Smart switch interface
To manage VLAN groups,
1. Click “Configuration”, “VLAN, Static VLAN”.
2. Select a VLAN ID number.
3. Define a name to identify the VLAN.
4. Mark the ports to be assigned to the new VLAN as tagged or untagged members.
5. Click [Add/Modify].
Figure 12: Static VLAN Table Setting
Hint§
The following parameters are shown on the Static VLAN Table Setting:
■Port – Selects VLAN membership for each interface by marking the appropriate radio button for a
port or trunk as Untagged, Tagged, or Not Member
■VLAN ID – VLAN Identifier. (Range: 1-4094)
■VLAN Name – Name of the VLAN (1-16 characters)

Hint§
The following parameters are shown on the Static VLAN Table Setting:
■Port –Selects one or more ports to configure. Hold down the CTRL key and click port numbers to
select multiple ports. Hold down the SHIFT key to select a range of ports.
■PVID - The VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Range: 1-4094,
Default: 1) Ports must be a member of the same VLAN as the Port VLAN ID.

18

VLAN-Stacking Table Setting
Sets the stacking VLAN membership for selected interfaces to be part of the Service Provider VLAN
(S-VLAN), that is uplink ports for a 802.1Q Tunnel. This stacking VLAN is used to segregate and
preserve customer VLAN IDs for traffic crossing the service provider network. The switch supports up
to 64 S-VLAN IDs.
Web Smart switch interface
To manage stacking VLAN port members,
1. Click “Configuration”, “VLAN Stacking”, “S-VLAN Table”.
2. Specify the S-VLAN ID number.
3. Mark the ports to be included as stacking VLAN port members for specified S-VLAN.

Hint§
The following parameters are shown on the VLAN-Stacking Table Setting:
■S-VLAN ID - The VLAN identifier of a stacking VLAN. (Range: 1-4094)
■Member Ports - Switch ports that are members of the stacking VLAN. That is, ports that will
double tag ingress and egress packets.

19

Vlan Stacking Settings
After configuring port members for stacking VLANs on the switch, the ports connected to a service
provider network need to be enabled as doubled tagged ports. Also the Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID)
value must be set for the doubled-tagged ports to identify 802.1Q tagged frames.
Web Smart switch interface
To manage stacking VLAN port settings,
1. Click “Configuration”, “VLAN Stacking”, “S-VLAN Setting”.
2. Specify the Tag Protocol ID number.
3. Set the stacking PVID for service provider ports and configure them as “Enabled.”
4. Click [Apply].

Hint§
The following parameters are shown on the VLAN-Stacking Table Setting:
■Tag Protocol ID - Tag Protocol Identifier specifies the ethertype of incoming packets on a tunnel
port. (Range: 0x0600~0xFFFF hexadecimal, Default: 0x88a8)
■PVID - The stacking VLAN Port VLAN Identifier. The PVID determines the stacking VLAN tag for
single-tagged packets forwarded to an enabled S-VLAN port.
■Provider Network Port - Set the S-VLAN membership mode for the selected interface. This mode
is used to segregate and preserve customer VLAN IDs for traffic crossing the service provider network.
(Default: Disable)
■ Enable - Indicates a port linked to a service provider (an 802.1Q Tunnel port).
■ Disable - Indicates a port linked to a customer.

IGMP Multicast Group Information
To display multicast group and router port information, click “Configuration”, “IGMP Snooping”,
“Multicast Entry Table”.
The IGMP Multicast Router Information table displays the current multicast groups learned through
IGMP Snooping. Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the switch use information obtained
from IGMP, along with a multicast routing protocol such as DVMRP or PIM, to support IP
multicasting across the Internet. You can use the IGMP Multicast Router Information table to see
which ports on the switch are attached to a neighboring multicast router.
Figure 16: Multicast Entry Table
Hint§
The following parameters are shown on the Multicast Entry Table page:
■VID - A VLAN on the switch that is forwarding multicast traffic to downstream ports for the
specified multicast group address.
■VLAN Name – The name of the VLAN on the switch that is forwarding multicast traffic.
■Source IP - The IP address of one of the multicast servers transmitting traffic to the specified group.
■Group Address – IP multicast group address with subscribers directly attached or downstream from
the switch, or a static multicast group assigned to this interface.
■Member Port – An downstream port that is receiving traffic for the specified multicast group.
■Dynamic Router Port – The port interfaces dynamically discovered by the switch to be attached to
Multicast routers.
