Installing the switch

Caution: -.To avoid possible interference or damage, do not stack equipment on top of the switch.

Rack mounting guidelines

The maximum ambient temperature of the space the switch is installed in should not exceed 122°F/50°C.
There should be air flowing through the rack.
Make sure all the leveling feet or casters are adjusted correctly and they come in contact with the supporting surface. Always load heavier equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Make sure the rack is grounded and the equipment is surge protected.
Do not overload the power equipment or the switch. Read our WattBox Best Practices for more information.

Connections

Caution: -.All router and switch connections should be on network ports. Not the management port.

QSFP28 ports

The QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports support up to a 100Gbps connection and are typically used to connect switches.

Configuration

Araknis switches can be configured through OvrC or the local interface. The local interface is accessible using OvrC’s Web Connect feature, typing the switch’s DHCP address into your browser’s address bar, or using the switch’s default IP address.

Configuring the switch in OvrC

OvrC provides Wi-Fi management, remote device management, real-time notifications, and intuitive customer management, using your computer or mobile device. Setup is plug-and-play, with no port forwarding or DDNS address required.

To add this device to your OvrC account:

Connect the switch to the internet.
Log into OvrC (www.ovrc.com).
Scan the site using an OvrC Pro device or add the switch manually by entering the MAC address and Service Tag.

Logging in to the local interface

Log into the switch using the default credentials. You must update the credentials after initial login.

Username	araknis
Password	araknis

Other access methods: DHCP IP address

The switch is configured to DHCP by default so that the DHCP server can assign an IP address when the switch is connected to the network (the DHCP server is usually the router). This address can be used for accessing the web interface.

Use one of these methods to find the IP address of the switch:

Check the device list in OvrC.
Check the client table on your router.
Use a network scanner (e.g. Fing) to scan the network. The Araknis switch manufacturer field displays SnapAV.

See the highlighted field in the Fing screenshot to the right for an example of an Araknis device being identified.

Accessing the switch using the default IP Address

If the switch is not given an IP address on the network or needs to be accessed while not connected to a network, you can configure your computer’s network connection to access the switch using the default IP address, 192.168.20.254, while connected to the MGMT port

Note: -__.You must connect your computer to the MGMT port to connect to the switch using its default IP address.

Connect your PC to the switch using an Ethernet cable.
Open the Control Panel and click Network and Internet.
Click Network and Sharing Center.
Click Change adapter settings.
Right-click the icon for the wired network connection, then left-click Properties.
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click Properties
In the General tab, click Use the following IP address: and enter the IP address and subnet mask, then click OK.
IP Address| 192.168.20.253
---|---
Subnet Mask| 255.255.255.252
Open a browser and navigate to https://192.168.20.254/. Log in using the default credentials:
Username| araknis
---|---
Password| araknis
After configuring the switch, set your computer’s IPv4 Properties back to Obtain an IP address automatically, then click OK.
