Main Menu> Advanced

The Advanced page allows professional users to operate more complicated features of the device,

which include VLAN, Spanning Tree, Port Trunking, Multimedia support (IGMP), traffic

prioritization, SNMP, and port mirroring. These features are powerful and can degrade or disable a

network if improperly used. The eleven sub-menus are introduced below.

• Advanced Security: The user can configure the security settings of the switch by choosing

either to use basic password or RADIUS server to authenticate the user attempting to

configure the switch. In addition, the user can also set up IP filtering to allow only approved

users on the network to configure the switch.

• Port-Based Authentication: The user can configure the ports of the switch for authentication

through a RADIUS server to authenticate the user attempting to connect to the network

through a port on the switch.

• Port Mirroring: Users can designate a port for monitoring traffic from one or more other ports

or of a single VLAN configured on the switch. The switch monitors the network activity by

copying all traffic from the specified monitoring sources to the designated monitoring port, to

which a network analyzer can be attached.
