Hardware Installation
Network Connection
Before starting to configure the device, you have to connect your devices
correctly. A hierarchical net work with minimum levels of devices may reduce
the timing delay between server and client station. Basically, this approach
will minimize the number of devices in any one path; will lower the
possibility of net work loop, and will improve net work efficiency. If more
than two devices are connected in the same net work, select one device as a
Level 1 device and connect all other devices to it at Level 2. Server/ Host is
recommended to connect to the Level 1 device. This is generally if no VLAN or
other special requirements are applied. All device ports are in the same local
area net work.
Rack-Mounted Installation
The switch can be installed easily by using rack mount kit.
1. Fasten t he rack mount kit on both sides of the VigorSwitch using specific
screws.
2. Then, install the VigorSwitch (with rack mount kit ) on t he 19-inch
