5. Etengailuaren funtzionamendua

The MokerLink switch offers a range of Layer 2 management features accessible via its web interfazea.

Irudia: A visual representation of the powerful L2 software features supported by the MokerLink Web Managed Ethernet Switches. These features include IGMP, Mirroring, LACP, Multicast, STP/RSTP, ERPS, VLAN, QOS, and Trunking.

Key Features and Configuration:

• VLAN (Sare Lokal Birtuala): Allows you to segment your network into smaller, isolated broadcast domains, improving security and performance. Configure port-based or tag-based VLANs through the web interfazea.
• QoS (zerbitzuaren kalitatea): Prioritizes network traffic to ensure critical applications (e.g., VoIP, video streaming) receive sufficient bandwidth, reducing latency and jitter.
• LACP (Lotura Agregazio Kontrol Protokoloa): Combines multiple physical links into a single logical link, increasing bandwidth and providing link redundancy.
• IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol): Optimizes multicast traffic delivery, preventing unnecessary flooding of multicast packets to all ports.
• Portu ispilua: Copies network traffic from one or more source ports to a destination port for monitoring and analysis.
• STP/RSTP (Spanning Tree Protocol/Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol): Prevents network loops and ensures network redundancy.
• Sistemaren jarraipena: The web interface provides real-time status of the device, including port status, traffic statistics, and system logs.

7. Arazoak

If you encounter issues with your MokerLink switch, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Potentziarik gabe:
  • Ziurtatu korronte-egokitzailea ondo konektatuta dagoela etengailura eta funtzionatzen duen entxufe batera.
  • Egiaztatu entxufea funtzionatzen duela beste gailu bat konektatuz.
  • Egiaztatu aurrealdeko paneleko PWR LEDa berdez piztuta dagoen.
• Ez dago estekarik portu batean:
  • Egiaztatu Ethernet kablearen konexioa bi muturretan (etengailua eta konektatutako gailua). Saiatu beste kable batekin.
  • Ziurtatu konektatutako gailua piztuta dagoela eta behar bezala funtzionatzen duela.
  • Verify the port status LED on the switch. If it's off, there's no link. If it's orange/green but not flashing, there's a link but no activity.
  • For SFP+ ports, ensure the SFP+ module is correctly inserted and compatible, and the fiber cable is not damaged.
• Sarearen abiadura motela:
  • Ensure you are using appropriate cables (CAT5e/6/6a for 2.5G/10G connections).
  • Verify that the connected devices support 2.5G or 10G speeds.
  • Check the port status LED color to confirm the negotiated speed (Green for 2.5G, Blue for 10G).
  • Monitor network traffic via the web interface to identify potential bottlenecks or excessive broadcast/multicast traffic.
• Ezin da sartu Web Kudeaketa Interfazea:
  • Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch (default: 192.168.2.1).
  • Verify the physical connection between your computer and the switch.
  • Saiatu zure arakatzailearen cachea garbitzen edo beste arakatzaile bat erabiltzen.
  • If you forgot the password, perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the Reset button for 5 seconds. Oharra: This will erase all configurations.
