Installing Switch on DIN-Rail

Each switch has a DIN-Rail kit on rear panel. The DIN-Rail kit helps switch to fix on the
DIN-Rail. It is easy to install the switch on the DIN-Rail:2.1.1 MountIPS-2042P on DIN-Rail
Step 1: Slant the switch and mount the metal spring to DIN-Rail.

Wall Mounting Installation

Each switch has another installation method for users to fix the switch. A wall mount panel
can be found in the package. The following steps show how to mount the switch on thewall:

RSTP are dependent upon whether the port concerned can only
be connected to exactly one other bridge (i.e. It is served by apoint-to-point LAN segment), or it can be connected to two or
more bridges (i.e. It is served by a shared medium LAN segment).
This function allows the P2P status of the link to be manipulated
administratively. True means P2P enabling. False means P2P
disabling.
The port is directly connected to end stations, and it cannot create

nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP
enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network
problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of problems
by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.

5.1.5.2 SNMP –Trap Setting
A trap manager is a management station that receives traps, the system alerts
generated by the switch. If no trap manager is defined, no traps will issue. Create a
trap manager by entering the IP address of the station and a community string. To
define management stations as trap manager and enter SNMP community strings andselects the SNMP version.

5.1.6 VLAN
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits the broadcast domain, whichallows you to isolate network traffic. Only the members of the VLAN will receive traffic
from the same members of VLAN. Basically, creating a VLAN from a switch is logicallyequivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch.
However, all the network devices are still plugged into the same switch physically.
The switch supports port-based VLAN only.

5.1.6.1

VLAN Configuration – Port Based

Traffic is forwarded to the member ports of the same vlan group. vlan port based startup, set in
the same group of the port, can be a normal transmission packet, without restricting the typesof packets.

5.1.7 Warning
Warning function is very important for managing switch. You can manage switch by
SYSLOG, E-MAIL, and Fault Relay. It helps you to monitor the switch status on remotesite. When events occurred, the warning message will send to your appointed server,
E-MAIL, or relay fault to switch panel.

5.1.7.1 Fault Alarm
When any selected fault event is happened, the Fault LED in switch panel will light up
and the electric relay will signal at the same time.
