4.4 Tuatahi Web Te Uru Whakahaere

To configure the switch, access its web-atanga whakahaere i runga:

1. Honoa to rorohiko ki tetahi o nga tauranga Ethernet o te whakawhiti.
2. Configure your computer's IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address (e.g., if the switch is 192.168.2.1, set your computer to 192.168.2.X, where X is not 1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0).
3. Tuwhera a web browser and enter the default IP address of the switch: 192.168.2.1
4. Enter the default login credentials:
   Ingoa Kaiwhakamahi: kaiwhakahaere
   Kupuhipa: kaiwhakahaere
5. Kia angitu te takiuru, ka uru atu koe ki te pātene web management interface. It is recommended to change the default password for security.

5. Operating Instructions (Web Whakahaere)

Ko te web management interface provides comprehensive control over the switch's functions. Below are some of the key Layer 2 features you can configure:

Figure 5.1: Lite L2 Management Features

5.1 VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)

VLANs allow you to segment your network into smaller, isolated broadcast domains. This enhances security and network performance by controlling traffic flow. The switch supports 802.1Q Tag-based VLANs.

Figure 5.2: 802.1Q Tag-based VLAN Configuration Example

5.2 QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS allows you to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications (like voice or video) receive sufficient bandwidth and experience minimal delay. This helps reduce packet loss and latency on the network.

Figure 5.3: QoS Prioritization Example

5.3 LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)

LACP allows you to bundle multiple physical links into a single logical link, increasing bandwidth and providing link redundancy. This is useful for connecting to servers or other switches.

5.4 STP/RSTP (Spanning Tree Protocol/Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol)

STP/RSTP prevents network loops, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability. These protocols ensure a loop-free topology by blocking redundant paths.

5.5 IGMP Snooping (Internet Group Management Protocol)

IGMP Snooping optimizes multicast traffic by forwarding it only to ports where multicast receivers are present, preventing unnecessary flooding of multicast packets across the network.

5.6 Jumbo Frame Support

The switch supports Jumbo Frames up to 10Kbytes, which can improve network efficiency for large data transfers by reducing the number of packets processed.

6. PoE Functionality

The MokerLink switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) on ports 1-4, adhering to IEEE 802.3af/at standards. This allows compatible devices to receive both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.

Figure 6.1: PoE+ IEEE 802.3af/at Support

• Tautukunga Paerewa: IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4W per port) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+, up to 30W per port).
• Per Port Power: Each PoE port can deliver up to 30W.
• Total Power Budget: The switch has a total PoE power budget of 78W. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices does not exceed this limit.
• Tuhipoka: This switch does not support passive 24V PoE. Only connect devices compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at standards.

7. Tiaki

The MokerLink switch is designed for low maintenance and reliable operation.

• Hoahoa Kirikore: The fanless design eliminates moving parts, reducing the risk of mechanical failure and ensuring quiet operation. This also minimizes dust accumulation inside the device.
• Maamaa Maamaa Casing: Ko te konganuku pakari casing provides protection and aids in passive heat dissipation.
• Te horoi: Periodically clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Ensure ventilation openings are clear of obstructions.
• Taiao: Operate the switch within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

8. Te Raru

If you encounter issues with your MokerLink switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Kore Mana: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check the PWR LED indicator.
• Kāore he Hononga i te Tauranga: Verify that the Ethernet or SFP+ cable is properly connected at both ends. Check the link status LEDs on the switch and the connected device. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• Web Interface Unreachable:
  
  • Confirm your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch (default: 192.168.2.1).
  • Try pinging the switch's IP address (192.168.2.1).
  • If the switch was previously configured with DHCP client mode and lost its IP, it might revert to a default or unassigned state. Consider setting a static IP on the switch for stability.
  • If the interface is unresponsive, try restarting the switch by briefly pressing the Reset button.
• Random Factory Reset: Some users have reported instances of the switch randomly factory resetting. If this occurs, reconfigure the switch using the default IP (192.168.2.1) and settings. Ensure the switch is in a stable environment and has a consistent power supply.
• Nga Take Mahi:
  
  • Check cable quality; use Cat5e/6/6a for 2.5G and appropriate fiber/DAC for 10G SFP+ connections.
  • Verify that connected devices support the desired speeds (e.g., 2.5G or 10G).
  • Review QoS settings if specific traffic types are experiencing issues.
• Te Rahunga o te Pūrere: If the switch powers on but no traffic passes, or it becomes unconfigurable, the device may have failed. In such cases, contact MokerLink support for assistance.
• Kei te Whakaora i nga Taunoa o te wheketere: If you forget the login credentials or encounter persistent configuration issues, press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds until the LEDs flash, then release. This will restore the switch to its factory default settings.
