CHAPTER 14
Management
14.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to use the Management screens to configure settings on the Switch, such as
login password change, firmware upgrade, system reset or reboot, IP address change, and so on.
14.1.1 What You Need to Know
Read this section to know more about IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
14.1.1.1 IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
If EEE is enabled, both sides of a link support EEE and there is no traffic, the port enters Low Power Idle
(LPI) mode. LPI mode turns off some functions of the physical layer (becomes quiet) to save power.
Periodically the port transmits a REFRESH signal to allow the link partner to keep the link alive. When there
is traffic to be sent, a WAKE signal is sent to the link partner to return the link to active mode.
14.2 Management Settings
Use this screen to manage the following:
• upload the latest firmware
• upload a stored device configuration file
• save your configurations for later use
• change the administrator system password
• change the IP address
• enable DHCP client
• reboot/reset the system
An administrator is someone who can both view and configure Switch changes. The default
administrator password is 1234.
Note: It is highly recommended that you change the default administrator password (1234).
Click Management in the navigation panel to open the following screen.
