This link takes you to a screen where you can configure the IP address, subnet

mask (necessary for Switch management) and DNS (domain name server) and set

up IP management addresses.

Port Setup

This link takes you to a screen where you can configure settings for individual

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) or TACACS+ (Terminal

Access Controller Access-Control System Plus).

IP Source Guard This link takes you to screens where you can configure filtering of unauthorized

DHCP and ARP packets in your network.

Loop Guard

This link takes you to a screen where you can configure protection against network

loops that occur on the edge of your network.
