FORE Systems ES-2810 Ethernet Switch User’s Manual
Introduction to the ES-2810
1.9.4 Default Settings After Start-up
Once the switch has started successfully, installation is complete and the switch is using its
default setting (also known as default configuration):
• All ports are enabled.
• All ports operate in auto-negotiation mode.
• Spanning Tree is disabled on all ports.
• Addresses that have been silent for more than 15 minutes are purged from the
switch’s address table (the MAC Address Aging time).
• No access restrictions to Local Management (Telnet).
• No SNMP restrictions.
• No permanent MAC address entries defined. A permanent entry is a MAC
address that is defined as being permitted only on a certain port. This can be a
useful security feature.
• All ports are in the same VLAN (named <System>) and VLAN mode (Stand-
alone mode). VLANs allow you to create virtual networks using specific switch
ports, IP addresses, IP subnets and MAC addresses.
• Flow Control is enabled on all ports.
• The connection with Local Management is timed-out after 10 minutes if there has
been no input during this period.
1.9.5 After Start-up
This default configuration is adequate for simple workgroup environments to operate in basic
switching mode.
Although the switch continues to operate without problems, we recommend that you change
certain parameters to suit your own requirements.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to change the configuration while the switch is operating.
