Chapter 1 Operation of Web-based Management
Initial
Configuration This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the XGS3600
Series through the web user interface. With this facility, you can easily
access and monitor through any one port of the switch all the status of
the switch, including MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning tree status,
port aggregation status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even
illegal access record and so on.
The default values of the XGS3600 Series are listed in the table below:
IP Address
192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
192.168.1.254
Username
admin
Password
1234
After the XGS3600 Series has been finished configuration the it interface,
you can browse it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address
row in a browser, it will show the following screen and ask you inputting
username and password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username is “admin”and password is 1234. For the first
time to use, please enter the default username and password, and then
click the <Login> button. The login process now is completed. In this
login menu, you have to input the complete username and password
respectively, the XGS3600 Series will not give you a shortcut to
username automatically. This looks inconvenient, but safer.
In the XGS3600 Series, it supports a simple user management function
allowing only one administrator to configure the system at the same time.
If there are two or more users using administrator’s identity, it will allow
the only one who logins first to configure the system. The rest of users,
even with administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. For those
who have no administrator’s identity, can only monitor the system. There
are only a maximum of three users able to login simultaneously in the
XGS3600 Series.

When you login XGS3600 Series switch Web UI management,
you can use both ipv4 ipv6 login to manage
To optimize the display effect, we recommend you use Microsoft
IE 6.0 above, Netscape V7.1 above or
FireFox V1.00 above and
have the resolution 1024x768. The switch supported neutral web
browser interface

Configuration
2-2.1 Manual
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.
Web Interface
To configure Time in the web interface:
1. Click Time , Manual.
2. Specify the Time parameter in manual parameters.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 2-2.1: The time configuration
Parameter description:
Clock Source:
To click what clock source for the XGS3600 Series. You can select “Use local
Settings” or “Use NTP Server” for XGS3600 Series time clock source.
Local Time:
Show the current time of the system.
Time Zone Offset:
Provide the timezone offset relative to UTC/GMT. The offset is given in minutes
east of GMT. The valid range is from -720 to 720 minutes
Daylight Saving:
Daylight saving is adopted in some countries. If set, it will adjust the time lag
or in advance in unit of hours, according to the starting date and the ending
date. For example, if you set the day light saving to be 1 hour. When the time
passes over the starting time, the system time will be increased one hour after
one minute at the time since it passed over. And when the time passes over the
ending time, the system time will be decreased one hour after one minute at
the time since it passed over.

The switch supports valid configurable day light saving time is –5 ~ +5 step
one hour. The zero for this parameter means it need not have to adjust current
time, equivalent to in-act daylight saving. You don’t have to set the
starting/ending date as well. If you set daylight saving to be non-zero, you
have to set the starting/ending date as well; otherwise, the daylight saving
function will not be activated.
Time Set Offset:
Provide the Daylight saving time set offset. The offset is given in minutes east
of GMT. The valid range is from 1 to 1440 minutes. default is 60 mins
Daylight Savings Type:
Provide the Daylight savings type selection. You can select “ By Dates” or
“Recurring” two type for Daylight saving type.
From:
To configure when Daylight saving start date and time, the format is “YYYY-MM-
DD HH:MM”.
To:

2-2.2 NTP
NTP is Network Time Protocol and is used to sync the network time based Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). If use the NTP mode and select a built-in NTP time server or manually specify
an user-defined NTP server as well as Time Zone, the switch will sync the time in a short after
pressing <Apply> button. Though it synchronizes the time automatically, NTP does not update
the time periodically without user’s processing.
Time Zone is an offset time off GMT. You have to select the time zone first and then perform
time sync via NTP because the switch will combine this time zone offset and updated NTP
time to come out the local time, otherwise, you will not able to get the correct time. The switch
supports configurable time zone from –12 to +13 step 1 hour.
Default Time zone: +8 Hrs.
Web Interface
To configure Time in the web interface:
1. Click SYSTEM, NTP.
2. Specify the Time parameter in manual parameters.
3. Click Apply.
Figure 2-2.2: The NTP configuration
Parameter description:
Server 1 to 5 :
Provide the NTP IPv4 or IPv6 address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit
records represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon
separating each field (:). For example, 'fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol
'::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing
multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear once.It can
also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'.
Buttons
These buttons are displayed on the NTP page:
Apply – Click to apply changes.
Reset - Click to undo any changes made locally and revert to previously saved
values.

Privilege Level :
The privilege level of the user. The allowed range is 1 to 15. If the privilege
level value is 15, it can access all groups, i.e. that is granted the fully control of
the device. But others value need to refer to each group privilege level. User's
privilege should be same or greater than the group privilege level to have the
access of that group. By default setting, most groups privilege level 5 has the
read-only access and privilege level 10 has the read-write access. And the
system maintenance (software upload, factory defaults and etc.) need user
privilege level 15. Generally, the privilege level 15 can be used for an
administrator account, privilege level 10 for a standard user account and
privilege level 5 for a guest account.
