IP and Management Mode
(Administrator menu)
User can modify the switch IP Settings by filling with the new value, then clicks “apply” button to
confirm (save) his setting, then he must reboot switch, then new IP configuration value will be
activated.
The Management mode indicates which role this switch is currently playing. “Agent Slave” means
it is treated as a normal switch. “Agent Master” means the "Single IP" is activated and the switch is
treated as agent manager. ”Stacking slave” is used only when this switch is going to be a member
of stacking set. This setting will force the switch to activate spanning tree protocol and some VLAN
settings for preparation of stacking switches. “Stacking Master” does the same tasks too, but it
plays the role of manager of the whole stacking switches. Only the “Stacking Slave” can be added
into the members of a stacking set under one “Stacking master”. The default management mode is
"Agent Slave".
The extra “Agent IP” setting is necessary for the “Single IP” management. It defines the IP and the
subnet mask the master switch will be assigned, which are in the same IP domain as the managed
hosts’ one.
User can confine the “Single IP” function to local management by assigning the agent IP to the
same one as switch IP. Different from original IP forwarding method, it uses a method like webpage
link and won’t increase the loading of switch.
”Agent IP “setting and “Agent management” in the main menu will not show up if the agent mode is
set as “Slave”.
[Note] If any of the value is changed in this field, reboot is necessary.
