• notification console with information on alarms and logs triggered by events
• monitor console with information on device traffic

Setup examples

Set up access VLANs
VLANS are typically used on large networks to create multiple broadcast domains, but they can also be used to segregate network traffic. For example, video traffic can be part of one VLAN, and other network traffic can be part of another.

1. Go to Advanced > VLANs > Configuration.
2. Under Global VLAN Configuration, enter the VLANs you want to create to the Allowed Access VLANs field. For example, if you enter, 1, 10-13, 200, 300, the following VLAN IDs will be created: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 200 and 300.
3. To assign a created VLAN ID to a given port under Port VLAN Configuration, enter the ID to the Port VLAN field.
4. Click Apply.

Reserve an IP address based on MAC address

1. Go to Advanced > DHCP Server > Configuration > Pool.
2. Click Add New Pool.
3. Enter a name for the pool, for example 00:01:02:03:04:05, and click Apply. No spaces are allowed in the name.
4. To access the pool settings, click the added name.
5. In the Type drop-down menu, select Host.
6. Enter other required settings, such as IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Router.
7. In the Client Identifier drop-down menu, select MAC.
8. In the Hardware Address field, enter F8-16-54-B2-35-63.
9. Click Apply.

To save the start-up configuration, click on the product’s web page. See Get to know your product’s web page on page 4 .

Set a PoE schedule

If you have a certain time frame where you want the switch to provide PoE, for example, to your cameras, it can be useful to create a PoE schedule and assign it to one or more PoE ports. You can create up to 16 PoE schedule profiles.

To create a PoE schedule:

1. Go to Advanced > PoE > Configuration > Schedule Profile.

2. In the Profile drop-down menu, select a number for the profile.

3. Change the default profile name as needed.

4. To specify when you want PoE to switch on, select hours (HH) and minutes (MM) in the Start Time drop-down menu.

5. To specify when you want PoE to switch off, select hours (HH) and minutes (MM) in the End Time drop-down menu.

   • If you want to use the same schedule for all days of the week, select the start and end times on the Week Day row marked with an asterisk (*).
   • If you want to use the same schedule for certain days of the week only, select the start and end times for selected days on the respective Week Day rows.

6. Click Apply.
   To assign the created PoE schedule to one or more PoE ports:

7. Go to Basic > Basic Settings > PoE > Power Management.

8. Under PoE Port Configuration in the PoE Schedule drop-down menu, select the number of the specified PoE schedule profile.
   – If you want to assign the same profile for all ports, select the profile number on the Port row marked with an asterisk (*).
   – If you want to assign the same profile for certain ports only, select the profile numbers for selected ports on the respective Port number rows.

9. Click Apply.

Check connection status via PoE auto checking
You can use PoE auto checking if you want to periodically check the connection status between your switch and the PoE enabled network device connected to it. If, during auto checking, the network device does not respond to the switch, the switch will automatically restart the PoE port the network device is connected to.

To enable auto checking via the topology view:

1. Go to Basic > Topology View.
2. To open the Dashboard console of your switch, click the switch icon.
3. Click PoE Config.
4. In the PoE Auto Checking drop-down menu, select Enable.

To configure the auto checking parameters:

1. Go to Advanced > PoE > Configuration > Auto Checking.
2. In the Ping IP Address field, enter the IP address of the device that is connected to the port you want to assign auto checking for.
3. Enter the other needed parameters, for example:
   • Port: 1
   • Ping IP Address: 192.168.0.90
   • Startup Time: 60
   • Interval Time (sec): 30
   • Retry Time: 3
   • Failure Action: Reboot Remote PD
   • Reboot time (sec): 15
4. Click Apply.

How to connect a mode B camera
For the following camera models, you need to change the PoE settings:

• AXIS Q6010-E Network Camera
• AXIS Q6000-E PTZ Dome Network Camera
• AXIS Q6100-E Network Camera
  1. Go to Basic > Basic Settings > PoE > Power Management.
  2. For the port that your camera is connected to, set PoE Mode to force90w.
  3. For the port that your camera is connected to, set LLDP to Disabled.

How to use the console port
The switch has a serial console port that allows you to manage the switch through the command-line interface.

1. Connect the supplied console cable to the console connector on the switch.
2. Connect the console cable to the COM-port on your computer.
3. On your computer, open a teminal emulator to manage the switch.

Use these COM port settings:

• Baud rate: 115200
• Stop bits: 1
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: N
• Flow control: None

Create Rapid Ring links for network redundancy
If network redundancy is required, you can create redundant links between switches using Rapid Ring.
In this example, there are 3 switches connected by a redundant link and no extra VLANS. If any of the uplinks between the switches should fail, the redundant link is activated and provides network connectivity.

For the switch you want to use as master:

1. Go to Advanced > Rapid Ring.
2. Under Role, select Master.
3. Click Apply.

For all the other switches:

1. Go to Advanced > Rapid Ring.
2. Under Role, select Member.
3. Click Apply.

To save the start-up configuration, click

Switch ports on/off using VAPIX
Use the following command in VAPIX:

• To switch the port on:
  http://[IP address of the switch]/axis- cgi/nvr/poe/setportmode.cgi?port=[number of the port on the switch]enabled=yes&schemaversion=1

• To switch the port off:
  http://[IP address of the switch]/axis- cgi/nvr/poe/setportmode.cgi?port=[number
  of the port on the switch]enabled=no&schemaversion=1

Connect a 1Gbps SFP module

1. Go to Advanced > Port Management > Port Configuration.
2. For the port that you connected the module to (9 or 10), set Configured to 1 Gbps FDX.

Note If you set the port to Auto, both SFP and SFP+ will work.

Revert to alternate firmware image
You can choose to use the alternate (backup) firmware image instead of the active (primary) firmware image in the product.
Information tables on both images are shown under Advanced > Maintenance > Firmware > Firmware Selection.

Note

• If the active image is already set as the alternate image, only the Active Image table is shown, and the Activate Alternate Image button is disabled.
• If the alternate image is already set as the active image (either manually or due to corrupted primary image), and a new firmware image is uploaded to the product, the new image will automatically be set as the active image.
• Firmware version and date information may be empty for older firmware releases. This is normal.

To set the alternate image as the active image:

1. Go to Advanced > Maintenance > Firmware > Firmware Selection.
2. Click Activate Alternate Image.
