1. Introduction
Welcome to the World of Switching-Network. In modern business
society, communication and information sharing are fundamental to
our lifestyle. Computer networks are one of the fastest means of
communication.
Congratulations on purchasing the Modular Switch. This Modular
Switch is a combination of 4-slot host cabinet and optional 4 kinds of
media modules. A maximum 32 x 10/100Base-TX switched ports
can be achieved using 4 x 8 port 10/100 Base-TX switch modules.
Modular Switch features store-and-forward switching scheme. Every
module has it’s own entry MAC address table to store source
address. The backplane of the Modular Switch can reach up to 10.4
Gbps as to improving network performance.
Figure 1-1 The Modular Switch
Modular Switch with layer 2 management functions, 4 expansion
slots can flexible configure your network. The 4 optional modules
can be 8-Port 10/100 Auto-sensing Intelligent Switch Module,
2/4/8-Port 100 Base-FX Intelligent Fiber Module, Gigabit
1000Base-T Intelligent Switch Modules, and Gigabit
1000Base-SX/LX Intelligent Fiber Modules.

With its build-in Web-based Management, managing and configuring
the Modular Switch becomes easier. From cabinet management to
port-level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and
manage your network via Web Browser. Just click your mouse
instead of typing cryptic command strings. However, the Modular
Switch can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or third-party
SNMP Management.

Management Methods
The Modular Switch supports following management methods :
 Console and Telnet Management
 Web-based Management
 SNMP Network Management
Console and Telnet Management
Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console Port.
Managing the Modular Switch in this method requires a direct
connection between PC and the Switch. While Telnet management
is done over the network. Once the Switch is on the network, you
can use Telnet to Log in and change the configuration.

Web-based Management
The Modular Switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing
in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow
users to manage the Modular Switch from anywhere on the network
through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. For
more information, See Section 5 Web-Based Management.
SNMP Network Management
SNMP ( Simple Network Management Protocol ) provides a means
to monitor and control network device, and to manage configurations,
statistic collection, performance, and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software
processes reporting activity in each network device to the
workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent return
information contained in a MIB ( Management Information Base ),
which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the
device and what can be controlled.
